Notable Sonoma Valley Wineries
Benziger Family Winery
A leader in sustainable farming, Benziger is famous for its Biodynamic Tram Tour, which takes you through the vineyards to see how they use nature (like sheep and insectaries) to grow grapes.
Buena Vista Winery
Founded in 1857, this is California’s oldest commercial winery. A visit here is a step back in time, featuring historic caves and a "Wine Tool Museum".
Hanzell Vineyards
Perched on the slopes of the Mayacamas, Hanzell is a "cult" favorite among serious collectors. They are pioneers of gravity-flow winemaking and stainless steel fermentation.
Kunde Family Winery
This fifth-generation estate spans 1,850 acres. They offer unique mountain-top tastings and cave tours that provide a deep dive into the valley's terroir.
St. Francis Winery & Vineyards
Widely regarded as one of the best for foodies, St. Francis offers a world-class Wine & Food Pairing that is consistently ranked #1 in the country.
Viansa Sonoma
Located at the gateway to the valley, Viansa offers a "Summit" tasting with panoramic views of the wetlands and the valley floor.
