About
Horse & Plow runs an all-organic operation in Sebastopol's Russian River Valley, making wines and ciders from strictly certified vineyards and orchards. The tasting barn keeps things simple—shaded courtyard seating, live music on Fridays, and a wine club that offers growler fills alongside bottles. Their Pinot Gris consistently outperforms expectations, and the heirloom cider flight reveals what dry cider actually tastes like when it's not trying to be dessert. The Cabernet exists but isn't available for flights, which tells you where their heart really is. Come for the low-key vibe, stay because you can bring your dog and a picnic and nobody minds.
The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIThe hard cider program here isn't a side hustle—they're making bone-dry, 8% ABV heirloom apple ciders that actually pair with food instead of tasting like juice. The Pinot Gris is the sleeper hit that locals know about.
