Kuleto Estate Family Vineyards

One of the pricier vineyards, but hands down the most beautiful. It's a little bit off the beaten path, and be sure to prepare your self for the incredibly scary drive up a single lane road with steep drop offs to the top of a mountain (large hill?).

The estate is BEAUTIFUL. Loved the tasting building and patio over looking the valley. Thought it was so cool that is a self sustaining property complete with sheep, turkeys, chicken, rabbits, horses, and the coolest vineyard dog I have ever met, Pilot!

Our guide/pourer, Drew, was really cool and informative. I was shocked by how much I liked the wines we tasted. I am typically not a huge fan of sweet wines, but their rose and muscato were super dry and fragrant.

Tercero Wines

Tercero Wines Santa Barbara County

tercero wines is the brainchild of Larry Schaffer, owner and winemaker. He began the brand shortly after graduating with his Masters Degree in Viticulture and Enology from UC Davis – but this was well after he had completely switched directions in life and charted a new and exciting path.

Larry started his college career at UC Davis as an undergraduate, but had no interest in wine. The idea of getting into wine was something he had considered in the past – but more on the sales and marketing side because of his background. After graduating with his degree, he joined the winemaking team at Fess Parker Winery, where he stayed for nearly a decade before it was time to branch off and concentrate 100% on his own brand – and he could not be happier today.

Larry is adept not only at winemaking but at explaining the process in a very user-friendly manner. Visit his tasting room or follow him on social media to see for yourself.

J. Pedroncelli Vineyards

Since 1927, when John Pedroncelli, Sr. purchased vineyard and a small winery in Sonoma County's Dry Creek Valley, two elements remain unchanged: the exceptional place the Pedroncelli family farms vineyards, and the family's dedication to making fine wines.

Hauck Cellars

GREAT tasting room. Wonderful location in town, and the wine is great. Dog-friendly, and MIKE is such an asset to that place. Super friendly guy. The owners are your guides through the wine list, and are funny and personable. The Savignon Blanc was great, as was the Pinot.

Derbes Wines

Winemaker Cécile Lemerle-Derbès grew up in the vineyards of the Champagne region, where she was and still is involved in the growing of grapes. Cécile and her husband Billy, an Aerospace Engineer, started Derbès Wines in 2001

Peju Province Winery

The tasting room is beautiful, especially the natural stone bar in the room furthest from the entrance. The gardens are also worth the visit, with human-high flowers and an eclectic collection of sculptures. Oh yeah, and one of the guys in the tasting room yodels - definitely a forgotten art.

Trinchero Family Estate

Trinchero Family Estates (“TFE”) is wholly owned and operated by the Trinchero family, Napa Valley vintners since 1948. Over the years, the company expanded its portfolio by purchasing a magnitude of wineries including Terra d’Oro Winery in Amador County in 1988, Napa Valley’s Folie á Deux Winery in 2004 and Napa Cellars in 2006. In 2009, the family completed building Trinchero Napa Valley winery and hospitality center, located in northern St. Helena, California.

Willow Creek Wine Co.

In 2017 Brain and Natalie Brown moved to Paso Robles and Sona Estate on Vineyard Drive in the Willow Creek District was born. In addition to growing their own fruit the couple have spent years fostering with other wine grape growers as far south down the Central Coast as Santa Barbara, to as far north as Sacramento Delta and Napa Valley. The wines produced are clean, site driven wines with minimal intervention in the cellar. This couple sees eye-to-eye on style and technical details but ultimately the loyalty to a promise never to bottle a wine that both would not drink. Willow Creek Wine Collective is an appropriate name as Brian and Natalie produce wine under multiple brands and have brought them all together under one roof.

Due to possible restrictions during the Pandemic please contact the Willow Creek to make reservations so that you can enjoy their wine selections. 

Wilson Fleming Estate Wines

Edith Wilson and Tony Fleming launched their winery in 2002 and, already, these highly acclaimed wines are winning significant awards. Emphasis is to handcraft small lots of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah wines from estate-grown fruit and Sauvignon Blanc wine from select vineyards in the Russian River and Dry Creek Valleys.
