Description:
In 2019, artist Bryan Tedrick created "The Bear," a fierce grizzly standing on its hind legs with a swiveling head. The sculpture, made from recycled steel salvaged from the remains of Soda Rock Winery's former tasting room, stands 28 feet tall. It now resides in Sonoma Valley, significant for the Bear Flag Revolt of 1846 and as a symbol of both Sonoma Valley and California. The 15-ton steel bear sculpture was installed at St. Anne's Crossing Winery in Kenwood in January 2022, joining the ranks of the largest sculptures in Sonoma County.
