Famous in particular for outstanding Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, North Sonoma County wineries are also known for fine Merlot and Zinfandel wines. While there are many large, well-known wineries in the region, we focus on smaller, more intimate wineries offering delicious, unique wines in order to provide a special experience for our guests.

Villa Ragazzi Winery
The Rodeno family bottles limited quantities of Napa Valley’s first Sangiovese, a Rosato of Sangiovese and a super-Tuscan style blend. The Sangiovese vineyard was planted in 1985, the first in Napa Valley of this varietal.
Viszlay Vineyards
Viszlay Vineyards adhere to sustainable farming practices and cherish traditional winemaking techniques that yield gentle, refined, and harmonious wines. Crafting small batches, their wines are solely accessible through the winery and their wine club. Their passion infuses every bottle, blending the art and science of winemaking for your enjoyment.
VJB Cellars
In late 2010, they began transforming their ranch-style home into a beautiful Tuscan-style villa, complete with a tasting room, marketplace, deli, outdoor pizza kitchen, and a charming piazza. By mid-2012, VJB Vineyards and Cellars opened its doors, offering a remarkable selection of rare Italian varietals, alongside wood-fired pizzas and Maria’s beloved home-style Italian dishes. Quickly, VJB became a beloved destination in Sonoma Valley.
Wellington cellars
In 2014, the Belmonte family acquired Wellington Vineyards. Henry and Vittorio took charge, rebranding and refining the wine style while scaling down production. This led to the birth of Wellington Cellars later in 2014, focusing on small-batch, handcrafted wines primarily from their 24-acre estate. Situated in the heart of Sonoma Valley, the winery and tasting room are surrounded by vineyards growing a variety of grapes.
Whetstone Wine Cellars
Since its founding in 2002, the vision for Whetstone Wine Cellars has remained the same: to use vineyard-based winemaking to showcase beautiful California fruit in limited-production, single-vineyard wine. Their blend of rich heritage, Southern charm, and warm hospitality amidst wine country luxury can be found in all elements of the Whetstone experience.
White Rock
White Rock Vineyard, a 35-acre vineyard naturally farmed, sits in a cozy valley at the foot of the StagÕs Leap Range, with a distinctive terroir of white volcanic ash. It’s one of Napa Valley’s oldest plantings. The wines from White Rock are known for their balanced, complex, intense flavors and ability to age gracefully.
