A. Rafanelli WineryReservations

The Rafanelli family is now in its fourth generation of growing grapes and making wine in the Dry Creek Valley. Our winery is small and family operated. Our focus has always been on quality over quantity.

At A. Rafanelli Winery, we work hard at maintaining a tradition of producing premium grapes and handcrafting world class wines. We believe that the wines are first made in the vineyard and then achieve their maximum potential through traditional winemaking practices such as open top fermentation and non-filtration.

Our quaint and rustic winery sits on a knoll overlooking the scenic Dry Creek Valley and is surrounded by some of our terraced hillside vineyards. The winery consistently specializes in some of the finest Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot.

Our wines are not available in any retail outlets, they can only be purchased at the winery.

If you are going to be in our area and would like to visit us, taste our wines, and maybe take some home with you, please call to make an appointment. The family always looks forward to welcoming winery visitors personally.

Amista ~ making friends

Tasting daily from 11:00am – 3:30pm

Did you know Amista is the premiere producer of Dry Creek Valley sparkling wines?  We are now in our 15th year of crafting sparkling wines using the traditional method for making French champagne. Our sparkling Blanc de Blanc and Sparkling Syrah are both made from grapes grown in our estate vineyards.

We also offer estate-grown Syrah, Chardonnay, Grenache and a Rhone style blend we call Tres, plus Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the vineyards of our Healdsburg neighbors.

Our wines are food friendly and we encourage you to discover for yourself at one of our wine and food pairings.

Please join us in a toast to friendship! We believe that wine is a discovery to be shared with friends, old and new. We hope you will enjoy our wines, share them with friends and celebrate the friendly spirit of Sonoma wine country living.

Merlot Me Please

After the character Miles in Sideways spoke disparagingly of Merlot, some Merlot drinkers hid their love of this delicious Bordeaux grape. But many others know better, and stand proud in their love for this noble varietal. We have many stellar Merlots produced along the Wine Road. Here are just a few.

ABOUT DRY CREEK VALLEY

Long, narrow, and more compact than the other valleys along the Wine Road, Dry Creek Valley offers breathtaking views from end to end, and wineries worth discovering along every turn. Dry Creek Road wends its way through eastern side of the valley, while West Dry Creek Road takes a more intimate, meandering parallel path. Travelers on either road quickly appreciate the bounty and beauty that attracted the region’s first grapegrowers and winemakers.

This Valley was deeply seeded during the 1800s by Italian immigrants who interplanted their Zinfandel vineyards with other varietals, creating what we now refer to as field-blend wines. Very few of these original vineyards remain, but Dry Creek Valley is now synonymous with Zinfandel. Most every winery in the Valley makes at least one Zin or more.

As modern grapegrowing and winemaking practices evolved, other grape varieties were planted. Today Dry Creek Valley is known for not just Zinfandel, but Sauvignon Blanc, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rhone varieties like Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignane, and Syrah, and Italian varieties like Sangiovese and Barbera.
