Experience the Art of Growing
Fine Wine,
in an
"old Sonoma" elegant style
One of the true crown jewels of Sonoma and Napa, Windsor Oaks
Vineyards is a private 710 acre Estate just 10 minutes south of
Healdsburg in the heart of Sonoma County's world-famous Russian
River Valley and Chalk Hill appellations.
It is a one-of-a-kind
private family vineyard and winery that grows top quality grapes
for over 35 artisan wineries.
Each vintage, we select 5% of the vineyard blocks to
create our own highly awarded, limited 1500 case wine
assortment. The
Estate is open to the public only 18 days a year.
By request, we have created a private and customized VIP
tour appointment.
Windsor Oaks Vineyards guarantees a unique, one-of-a-kind wine
country experience.
Feel the passion as you learn
the evolution of fine wine from grape to glass.
Escape commercialized wine touring with a scripted
program and tasting room -- get outdoors and experience an "old
Sonoma County" visit with the real winemaker, vineyard manager
and family hospitality team.
Each private, customized VIP tour takes place just for you, not
as part of a group.
We tailor your visit to your personal interests and level of
desired wine experience.
Imagine an unforgettable
birthday or anniversary, a gourmet picnic and guided tasting, or
connoisseur
level clonal Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon tasting and
vineyard tour.
Down-to-earth family style hospitality, with world-class wines
and viticulture make it fun for all levels of wine enthusiasts.
Some ideas include starting inside the winery with a barrel
sample and an overview and history of Windsor Oaks, plus
in-depth exposure to artisan winemaking techniques.
Then take a 4-wheel drive mountain and hillside vineyard tour.
Discover how the maritime climate and nearly 1000 feet of
topographic changes influence a variety of wine grapes that
carpet valley floors, hillsides, vistas and mountain tops.
Our estate’s many micro-climates create optimal growing
environments, ideal for the development of individual flavor
profiles for the different wine grapes.
Enjoy panoramic views of three surrounding counties,
Mount St. Helena, and more.
Next, we pop corks of our award-winning wines, tailored to your
personal preferences, and served in a guided flight of Riedel
crystal glasses.
Then, enjoy your own private time alone on our mountain in
nature
to enjoy your favorite wines, and lunch.
Bring your own favorite picnic, or choose from a wide
menu selection including cheese trays, a 5-course wine paired
formal affairs, or gourmet box lunches.
All feature fresh, local Sonoma seasonal ingredients.
Picnic sites are available near many of our lakes or
ponds, even on the top of our breath-taking mountain summit or
in the middle of our vineyards.
A camera is highly recommended!
Tours may be customized to include a drive through "Forever
Wild," our 350 acre nature preserve, where guests may spot wild
turkeys, geese, deer, bobcats, bunnies, hawks, golden eagles and
more.
