Iron Horse Vineyards
Founded in 1976, Iron Horse serves its sparkling wines outdoors with vineyard views to Mt. St. Helena.
Sonoma County is serious sparkling-wine country. Cool, fog-touched sites — Carneros above all — give the high-acid Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that méthode champenoise demands, and the houses below craft everything from crisp Blanc de Blancs to toasty, age-worthy tête de cuvée.
Expect dedicated sparkling specialists alongside still-wine estates that keep a few cuvées on the books. Many pair their bubbles with caviar or a terrace view, so a sparkling tasting here is as much an occasion as a flight — explore the producers below.
