The town of Windsor brings a deliberately designed family-friendly emphasis to the heart of the Sonoma County wine and food country. Located two miles from the Russian River, the well-planned 7.3-square-mile town boasts six community parks, more than 13 neighborhood parks, and three large regional parks. Windsor made news for beer lovers when it opened an outpost of Russian River Brewing. The brewpub has plenty of year-round appeal, too, with its one-acre beer garden, tours, and extensive food menus.
