The Meal:

The Dry Creek General Store is a perennial favorite on our wine trips. The store was established in 1881 and has that old time general store feel. They sell various locally sourced spreads, oils and vinegars, artisanal cheeses and meats and make a killer sandwich. While they are open for breakfast and do have a porch with picnic tables and a few indoor tables, we usually stop by in the morning to pick up sandwiches for lunch. We find the meats on their sandwiches to be delicious and the bread to be fresh, crusty and perfect for a wine country sandwich. The sandwiches are a bit pricey ($10-13) but quite large and seem to be priced consistent with others in wine country. On our last visit I ordered the Speck, a smoked prosciutto sandwich with aged provolone, tomato, olive oil, and arugula on crusty ciabatta bread. I’m still dreaming of it!


They also sell a nice assortment of tasteful wine country mementos, local wines and books. The location and excellent lunches make the Dry Creek General Store a must for a trip to Dry Creek or neighboring areas.





Recommended food:The sandwiches are amazing. The Prosciutto di Parma sandwich with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes is especially outstanding. If you're really hungry, regulars order "The Meredith": the Coppa sandwich with an extra pound of turkey!
