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.

As grape growers first, we strongly feel that with good grapes comes good wine. We invite you to come taste the bounty that is Balletto.
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 District to preserve this land for all those living in the area, and for visitors to our wonderful county! Future visions include a seasonal trail for all to enjoy.
Field of Dreams
Nestled among the chardonnay and pinot noir grapes on the Balletto Winery site is a four acre surprise that delights vineyard workers, staff and management alike. The regulation size baseball field is Balletto Vineyards own ‘Field of Dreams’. It is a gift to the hardworking field staff that enjoys a relaxing game of ball throughout the summer, especially after a stress-filled day harvesting grapes at break-neck speed. John Balletto donated the materials, planting site (prime for grapes) and the workers donated the labor so everyone feels a certain amount of ownership.The baseball field is not visible from the road or the tasting room but can be seen during a self-guided tour of the vineyards:
