About Chateau Diana
Chateau Diana, founded in 1981 by Tom and Diane Manning, is a family-owned winery located in the picturesque Dry Creek Valley near Healdsburg, California. The winery is known for its commitment to family values and tradition, with a focus on producing unique wines, including lower alcohol options and innovative blends. Visitors can enjoy a welcoming atmosphere in the restored tasting room, which offers a variety of wines and a chance to experience the rich history of the estate.
Why Visit Chateau Diana
Chateau Diana pours zero-alcohol and lower-alcohol wines alongside traditional reds and whites—a rare lineup at a Dry Creek address. Reservations start at $10 for up to six guests, with tastings à la carte so you choose what's poured rather than following a preset flight.
- Zero-alcohol and low-alcohol wines—uncommon for a Sonoma winery
- Founded 1981 by Tom and Diane Manning; now run by Corey and Dawn
- Picnic & Pour experience ($35, 1–15 guests) seated near estate vines
- Raven Drum cooking wine line alongside traditional reds and whites
- Tasting deposit: $10 for 1–6 guests, $7 per person for 7–20
The Setting
The restored tasting room sits at 6195 Dry Creek Road, open Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Outdoor seating looks directly onto Manning family vines, and for groups booking Picnic & Pour, tables go near those same rows with views across Dry Creek terrain. There's no grand château architecture here—just a straightforward setup where the family's 45 years of winemaking does the talking.
The Tasting Experience
Walk-ins pay $10 for up to six people, then order wines, slushies, or food as they go rather than committing to a tasting menu. Larger groups—seven to twenty—book with a $7-per-person deposit applied back to the bill. Staff pour from a lineup that includes the winery's Raven Drum cooking wines and a selection of sparkling, rosé, and sweet bottlings, along with the zero- and low-alcohol range that sets Chateau Diana apart from neighboring producers.
