About MacRostie Winery Estate House
MacRostie Winery is renowned for its breathtaking panoramic vineyard views and a commitment to crafting exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of Sonoma County. The Estate House offers a contemporary design that enhances the tasting experience, allowing visitors to savor the beauty of the landscape while enjoying a selection of single-vineyard Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. With a focus on personalized service and engaging storytelling, MacRostie creates memorable experiences for wine enthusiasts.
Why Visit MacRostie Winery Estate House
MacRostie pours single-vineyard Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from named blocks across Sonoma Coast appellations, each introduced with specific soil types and elevation details by Wine Ambassadors who work these exact vineyards. For visitors who care where a wine comes from and why that matters, this seated tasting delivers granular geography.
- Signature Experience ($50) pours five single-vineyard wines
- Nightwing Estate Vineyard wines paired with caviar and barrel preview
- Wine Ambassadors detail soil types and clonal selections for each block
- Estate House terraces overlook Pinot Noir planted by Steve MacRostie in the 1990s
The Setting
The Estate House sits high above Westside Road on a property Steve MacRostie planted in the 1990s, with terraces looking down into the valley where morning fog pools and burns off. Inside, long communal tables and smaller two-tops face southwest through glass walls that stretch the length of the building. Outdoor seating on the upper deck puts you directly above rows of estate Pinot Noir that drop steeply below the patio railing.
The Tasting Experience
The Signature Experience ($50) seats you with five wines—typically three Chardonnays and two Pinot Noirs—from sites like Wildcat Mountain and Laguna Ridge. Wine Ambassadors talk through clonal selection and farming choices, not just flavor notes. The Nightwing Food & Wine Experience ($125) takes two hours, pairing wines from the Nightwing Estate Vineyard with caviar, local cheeses, and cured meats, and includes a barrel tasting preview pulled from the cellar.
