NEW Wine Road MAPS are here!


The "Map Box" has been moved to Selby Winery - NOT the tasting room, the winery, located at 498 Moore Lane in Healdsburg.



As usual, the box is outside, so you have access to stop by and pick up maps anytime, day or night, 7 days a week.


We'd love to see you pick some up and start handing these out, please recycle the old maps (do not return them to us).


With our limited storage, the sooner we get some of these out, the better!


New Map Box Location

Now's the time to get your staff trained on all things Wine Road, tourism and Sonona County...they should all be Ambassdors.

It takes about an hour.

Read the study guide, watch the video, take the online quiz.
