This afternoon we finally stopped at Pacific Star Winery, located right on Highway 1 north of Fort Bragg. I’ve driven past it many times and decided today was the day to try their wines and take in the scenery. First off, the views are spectacular—the winery sits directly on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and you can see why it’s one of the most photographed wineries in California.

We did a tasting of five wines, starting with their Viognier and finishing with the Zinfandel. The pours were generous enough to get a good sense of each, and we enjoyed the lineup overall. Afterward, we walked around the property, which is filled with rustic touches like stacked barrels and gardens, and made our way down along the cliffs by the sea. The weather couldn’t have been better, and the coastal breeze made it a relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

The photos capture some of what makes this spot special: rows of old barrels set against the coastal landscape, the winery’s gardens in full bloom, and the dramatic rocky coastline just steps from the tasting area.

Pacific Star Winery is worth the stop if you’re traveling Highway 1. Even if you’re not a big wine drinker, the ocean views alone are enough reason to visit, but the wines and laid-back atmosphere make it even better.
