Carneros (Sonoma) Wineries

The Sonoma side of the Carneros appellation shares the same cool, wind-swept character as its Napa counterpart, with expansive views across the marshlands to San Pablo Bay. This is prime territory for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wine.

Several of Sonoma's most celebrated sparkling wine houses are based here, taking advantage of the cool climate to produce crisp, elegant base wines. The rolling, open landscape is strikingly different from Sonoma's forested valleys to the north, with a wild, windswept beauty all its own.
