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.

~ Michael & Vicky Farrow, Proprietors

The Balletto Winery is located in the southwest area of the Russian River Valley in the middle of the 280-acre Balletto family property. The western edges of the ranch border the Laguna de Santa Rosa vital wetland habitat, a home to many species of birds and animals. The Balletto family felt that the area of land they owned along the Laguna was so beautiful that it should be shared with others. They were able to come to an agreement with Sonoma County’s Agriculture Preservation & Open Space

Enjoy the Bella hospitality while sipping on our old-vine Zinfandels and Rhone varietals.

An excellent opportunity to try extremely limited, estate grown wines!

Open daily for tasting from 11:00-4:30.

About Us:

Bella Vineyards and Wine Caves is a family-operated winery that specializes in making exceptional zinfandels, and a small number of highly regarded Rhône-varietal wines. These limited-production wines are made in small lots, and feature vineyard-designate bottlings from an estate program that highlights old-vine vineyard land in the Dry Creek and Alexander valleys. In the vineyards and winery, the Bella team dedicates itself to the highest standards of excellence. Equally important, Bella Vineyards is committed to providing an inspired visitor experience, which, along with the wines, has earned Bella quiet success and a passionate word-of-mouth following.

We are a fun, family-owned limited-production winery in the heart of Sonoma County. Tucked deep in the heart of the Russian River Valley, we produce some of the region’s most exclusive and sustainably farmed Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Our secluded Martaella Estate Vineyard is surrounded by endless vineyard views and Mount St Helena in the distance. The Ranch House tasting room is a converted American farmhouse with Sonoma comfort and modern elegance.

Guests visiting our Ranch House Tasting Room will enjoy tasting on our outdoor covered patio, surrounded by our sustainably farmed Martaella Estate vineyard. What could be better than tasting wine right at the source? The spacious deck on the back of our Ranch House is a perfect setting for visitors seeking privacy and a comfortable and safe distance from other parties while enjoying a tasting with endless vineyard views.

The health and safety of Benovia’s co-workers, guests and the community is their first priority, and visitors can relax knowing that behind the scenes our team is adhering to the strict guidelines set forth by the CDC and local health officials.
