Wilson Winery
Wilson Winery is distinguished not only by its outstanding wines, but by the twin pillars of family and tradition on which its reputation rests. The tradition pre-dates the winery’s founding in 1993 and is evident in the century-old tin barn that houses the Wilson’s facility. One of the oldest structures in the legendary Dry Creek Valley, the barn has been lovingly restored to provide a state-of-the-art venue for their award-winning winemaking. What hasn’t changed is the tradition of quality that finds its way into every bottle.
Mazzocco Sonoma
Mazzocco Winery is nestled in the rolling hills of Sonoma County, perched on a saddle between the acclaimed valleys of Dry Creek and Alexander. In 2005, Mazzocco was brought into the Wilson family, who were eager to add the Zinfandel vines surrounding the winery. Mazzocco is renowned for single-vineyard designates – robust, sumptuous Zinfandels. These wines are remarkably individual in nature – a characteristic shared by their award-winning Chardonnay, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
DeLorimier
Alexander Valley is often referred to as “California’s Bordeaux”, as the local landscape is itself a genuine mosaic of soil types and microclimates. Some of the best grapes in the world are grown here making this a winemaker’s dream location for producing world-class wines. So when Ken and Diane Wilson discovered this property they knew at once this would be their new Cabernet Sauvignon Showcase. DeLorimier wines are known more for the character of the estate than for the varietal content.
Matrix
Matrix Winery is a small family-owned winery located on Westside Road which specializes in Pinot Noirs as well as Chardonnay, Petite Sirah, Sauvignon Blanc, and Zinfandel from the Russian River Valley. Ken Wilson started planting grapes in Sonoma in the ’80s and his vineyards are unexpected and diverse. The diversity offers the winemakers of Matrix the gift to hand-select grapes from the estate vineyards – block by block and sometimes even row by row.
Soda Rock
When the Kincade fire ripped through Alexander Valley in 2019, all of the winery, save the 150 year-old facade, was reduced to cinders. The century-old wooden barn on the property, however, was miraculously spared! Today, visitors can enjoy an eclectic mix of wine-country experiences either on site, in the barn, or in the tasting room located in downtown Healdsburg. Sip a delicious array of wines with a focus on big, bold Bordeaux varietals.
Pezzi King
At the heart of this beautiful property are the vineyards, 65 acres of world-class Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon—which allow the Wilsons to continue their commitment to producing only the best wines possible. Pezzi King turned the local winemaking world upside down with its 1995 Zin. Its rich, jammy, and fruit-forward style became the new standard of excellence in Zins. Nowhere in America are conditions better suited to producing world-class Zinfandels than Pezzi King’s home: the Dry Creek Valley
St. Anne’s Crossing
At St. Anne’s Crossing, the primary focus is on Zinfandel from small vineyards throughout Sonoma County. Zinfandel from Sonoma County truly reflects the terroir of the vineyards and shows the variety of flavors capable of the popular varietal. St. Anne’s reflects the Wilsons’ commitment to stewardship and sustainable farming throughout Sonoma Valley, Dry Creek, and the Alexander and Russian River Valleys.
Jaxon Keys
Our winemaker, Antoine Favero, has brought expanded offerings to Jaxon Keys, highlighting one of the premier Rhône varietals, Grenache. Also grown on the Jaxon Keys Estate: Syrah, Zinfandel, and Petite Sirah, which all gain their intensity and focus from shallow, dry and less fertile soils. Vineyards situated on Russian River frontage of fertile, alluvial soils are perfect for producing quality white winegrapes. The Jaxon Keys distillery houses a 19th century Alambic Pot still that to this day produces America’s Best Brandy according to the American Distilling Institute.
Greenwood Ridge
Specializing in late harvest Riesling and Pinot Noir, Greenwood Ridge has built a reputation for producing award-winning, small lot wines. Named one of America’s top 30 wineries three times in recent years by Wine & Spirits Magazine, Greenwood Ridge has continued to receive accolades at major competitions. Winemaker Victoria Wilson now heads the winemakeing for all Greenwood Ridge wines, continuing the long tradition of honoring the Anderson Valley and Mendocino fruit.
Rockpile
Far to the north-west of the bustling tourist hubs that the words ‘Sonoma County’ evoke, and far above the valley floors where most of our county’s vineyards are planted, lies a small and coveted AVA: Rockpile. These grapes, coddled by the swirling mists rising from the Pacific ocean, create some very special Zins. The rocky soils grow fruit that results in a brawny yet balanced wine. Visitors do not have to make the pilgrimage out to the vineyards, however. Rockpile has a tasting room right on the Healdsburg roundabout!
Coyote Sonoma
Coyote Sonoma is more than just another Sonoma County tasting room. The space offers a chance to sip the big, bold wines associated with Wilson Artisan Wines, but it also offers dining, beers and cider on tap, and live events! Aiming to be the liveliest destination for live music, karaoke, trivia and many other offerings in downtown Healdsburg, a Coyote Sonoma night can cap off a day of wine country adventures!
