Welcome to our tasting room just a few feet from our vineyards where you can sit and enjoy the view.  We are open from 11am to 4pm Thursday thru Monday, and Saturdays 11am to 5pm. We offer a self-guided vineyard tour complete with fun facts about our year amongst the vines. Tasting and vineyard tours can be arranged for large and private groups by appointment. Cheese pairings also available by appointment.

West Wines is a small winery run by Bengt Akerlind and Katarina Bonde. We produce wines from our own vineyards located in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California. Our winemaking is inspired by French traditions of crispness and complexity combined with the fruity and rich flavors of grapes grown on Californian soil. We offer big complex Cabernet Sauvignon, well rounded Bordeaux style red blends and Italian and Argentinian inspired blends, Blanc de Blancs, Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc can be found as well as a sumptuous dessert wine. Our specialty is our vintage library collection of mature Cabernet Sauvignon which only gets better with age. At least two years barrel aging and 5 years of bottle aging is the recipe.

The grapes for our wines come from our sustainably farmed vineyards that are hand harvested and meticulously sorted to ensure the highest quality.

Our team consists of people who have been farming and making wine in the valley for decades, coming to know the soil and the grapes very well.

Children of Vineyard Workers Scholarship Fund
Established in 2002 by the Wilson Family.

Our goal is to raise enough money to meet the demands of all deserving applicants and to build the endowment fund for a legacy of ongoing success. We believe that the children of those who work the vineyards of Sonoma County should not be limited in their pursuit of educational opportunities by financial constraints. The Wilson Family will match all funds up to $100,000. 100% of your dollars go directly to the scholarship fund.

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.
