About Harvest Moon Estate & Winery
Harvest Moon Estate and Winery, inspired by the celestial beauty of the harvest moon, has been producing exceptional wines in the Russian River Valley since 2002. The Pitts family, dedicated to sustainable farming and innovative winemaking, crafts a diverse range of wines including Zinfandel, Gewürztraminer, and handcrafted sparkling wines, all while maintaining a commitment to environmental stewardship. Their unique approach to winemaking and dedication to quality has solidified their legacy in the wine community.
Why Visit Harvest Moon Estate & Winery
The Willowside Farm Tour and Tasting pairs a three-hour vineyard walk with a cheese board tasting for $75. For a different angle on sparkling wine, the Tiny Bubbles Wine Flight focuses entirely on Harvest Moon's handcrafted méthode champenoise bottlings.
- Willowside Farm Tour and Tasting runs three hours and costs $75
- Tiny Bubbles Wine Flight ($50) spotlights sparkling wines made in-house
- Wise Wine Weekdays offers $15 six-wine flights for ages 55+ weekdays
- Crush Pad Experience ($25) serves themed pre-poured flights informally
- Pitts family has farmed here since 2002
The Setting
A garden courtyard with outdoor seating anchors the property on Olivet Road in Santa Rosa, where educators pour flights at tables shaded by market umbrellas. The farm itself sprawls beyond the courtyard, with rows of Zinfandel and Gewürztraminer visible from the gravel pathways that wind toward the crush pad. Succulents line the stone borders, and the overall layout feels more working farm than polished estate.
The Tasting Experience
Harvest Moon offers seven distinct formats, from the casual Crush Pad Experience at $25—a first-come setup with themed pre-poured flights—to the lengthier Willowside Farm Tour. The Harvest Moon Still Wine Flights ($40) and Tiny Bubbles Wine Flight ($50) are both led by educators who walk through the Pitts family's winemaking choices in the courtyard. On Mondays through Thursdays, the Wise Wine Weekdays tasting drops to $15 for guests 55 and over, pouring six wines per flight.
