Make one more loop around the valley, stopping to fill a jug and, hopefully, to buy some of Lou’s freshly baked bread at Preston of Dry Creek (tasting from $5, 3-liter jug of wine $32; 9282 West Dry Creek; prestonvineyards.com) and to check out the gorgeous bar at Lambert Bridge Winery, pictured, (tasting from $10; 4085 West Dry Creek; lambertbridge.com), made from a single redwood tree felled in Sebastopol.
