Join Knights Bridge Winemaker Derek Baljeu for a discussion on the defining characteristics of Knights Valley, one of Sonoma County’s first five AVAs. Baljeu will also share how Knights Valley terroir and winemaking with intent drive decisions in the vineyard and winery, from grape to bottle.
Situated at the foot of Mount St. Helena, just north of Calistoga, beautiful Knights Valley holds a special fascination. Located in a narrow valley bordering the Mayacamas mountain range that divides Sonoma and Napa Counties, this easternmost Sonoma County appellation, known for its warm days and cool nights, is the warmest viticultural region in the county. This special place continues to enshrine the rough beauty and ambition of the West, but contains within it a classic finesse and style that makes this one of the most unique wine-growing regions in the world.
