Explore Ten Wineries at Sonoma Enoteca

For anyone who ever wished they had more time to visit more wineries, Sonoma Enoteca is the answer. In one beautiful, spacious Mediterranean-style tasting room on the historic Sonoma Plaza, guests can sample distinctive wines from ten boutique wineries in one comfortable location. Choose any six wines for just $5 from the generous tasting menu of twenty wines that are available daily.

 

With a breathtaking view of the Mayacamas Mountains right outside the front door, some of the best limited-production, handcrafted, artisian wines can be sampled. There are even award-winning olive oils and vinegars to taste. Plus, wine accessories, glassware, gifts, wine books and gorgeous home furnishings that reflect the best in wine country living.

 

The featured boutique wineries include some Sonoma treasures like Favero Vineyards featuring Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and the Super Tuscan, Monte di Sassi. Fred Favero's vineyards, wines and the wine cave he built himself, are stunning.
The Trios Wines are from the B. Wise Vineyards nestled in the rolling hills of the Mayacamas Mountains near the famed Monte Rosso vineyard and founded by Brion Wise in 2002. His Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Proprietary Red are exquisite.

 

Madrone Ridge wines come from vineyards that lie just east of the historic Sonoma Plaza on Arrowhead Mountain where some of the finest red grapes in California are grown. The wine from this complex rocky terrain creates an exciting palate of lush fruity flavors. Under the watchful eye of Bill Sanderson, the grapes are nurtured and tested frequently so they can be harvested at the perfect ripeness for these memorable, exceptional wines.

 

Seabiscuit Ranch is represented with lovely wines from Mendocino where Seabiscuit retired in California's Redwood Valley. The vineyards were planted in Seabiscuit's honor. Chardonnay, Merlot and the "Superfecta" Bordeaux blend are sleek, spirited wines which are styled to win legions of admirers. The wine is produced by the Dreyer Family Winery in Sonoma County, California. The Dreyers also present their Dreyer Sonoma wines, Compass wines and their Il Cuore wines in honor of the Italian immigrants who planted the first vineyards in Northern California.

 

Passion for their craft turns Brutocao winemakers into artists. And it's their artistic expression that transforms grape juice into gold, silver and bronze medals at wine competitions across the country. Also from Mendocino, this family produces complex and memorable wine. Sonoma Enoteca carries a wide array of Brutocao wines.

 

Mazanita Creek wines are also available. These powerful wines are intense and rich with their exceptional Zinfandels and Syrah leading the way.

 

The latest addition to the Sonoma Enoteca family is The Rose Group which has brought some outstanding wines into the fold. The Grieve Sauvignon Blanc is an extraordinary wine from David Grieve's estate vineyard in Lovall Valley, California. The Double Eagle Merlot is a wine of great depth and richness. And the H Pinot from the Sonoma Coast is a standout with a savory finish that lingers.
