August
29. August: Apfelfest in Matt's vineyard in
Anderson Valley
Jeanne and Matt Henneberg invite you to the Apfelfest in
our Vineyard in Mendocino County on August the 29th. We
will gather around noon to eat and drink, and afterwards,
you pick apples as much as your family might want and can
eat in one month (the Gala does not have along shelf live).
We provide apples, grapes, wine, and beer and you bring
a picnic to share. Afterwards, fröhliches Beisammensein.
There is also a pond to swim in, no shower and wash facilities,
however a portable blue bathroom is available. We should
be finished by 4:00, in time for you to get home by evening.
The San Francisco Chronicle run last Thursday an article on Anderson
Valley (Anderson Valley Pinot Noir comes of age, Bucolic back country
creates frontline wines). The article is worth your downloading and
reading before you go. It is very beautiful country and worth a trip,
if you have not yet been there. Philo is on Highway 128 leading to
Mendocino, a pleasant town on the coast. When you leave 101 at Cloverdale,
you go on 128 north until you come to Boonville, a 40-minute trip
on Landschaflich schoener Strasse, which would, on German road maps,
be dotted with green lines. From Boonville another 15 minute to our
place, see attached road description. The roundtrip is at least six
and a half hours from Palo Alto, from other locations in the Bay
Area correspondingly more or less.
If you shun this long drive in one day, you may want to consider
an overnight stay. There are several State Parks close by (Paul Dimick
Park and others), there are also Bed and Breakfast Inns in Philo,
and Mendocino is a favorite weekend place offering many sites. Whatever
option you choose, you should make your reservations really soon
because the tourist season shifts into overdrive the week before
Labor Day.
We know it is a long drive, but it is a beautiful drive, a beautiful
back country that otherwise you would not likely discover. Many visitors
come to Anderson Valley each week end, even though nobody invited
them for an Apfelfest. We hope that many of you will come.
How to get there:
Drive north on 101, exit 101 in Cloverdale to 128 north, careful not
to go 128 south. Continue 36 minutes to Boonville on the very scenic
highway #128. Continue to Philo, 5 miles, and then pass by several
wineries, the golden mile of pinot noir, about another 7 miles. The
way marker is Handly Cellars on your right. 100 meters further north
appears a string of mailboxes on your right, signaling the entry to
Guntley Road. Turn right onto Guntley Road. About 0.7 mile up the road,
among other vineyards is our place, 2400 Guntley Road on the left;
a road leads down to a large pond where you should park.
