Walters Ranch Hop Kiln is a distinctive stone and wood hop-drying building from the late 1800s, now home to a winery. Visitors can taste wines inside the towering kiln structure, where hops once dried. The conical roof and vented cupolas remain, creating a unique atmosphere. It's a perfect stop for those interested in Sonoma County's hop-growing past and modern wine culture.
