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.

Wilson Winery is a small, family-owned and operated winery. We are located in one of the oldest bonded wineries in Sonoma County, being built in 1910. We specialize in award winning red wines. Our beautiful deck overlooks a spectacular view of the Dry Creek Valley.

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.

The winemaking at Woodenhead is pure and simple, or if you will, Burgundian done California style. Our wine is handcrafted from a hard labor of love in tune to the natural rhythm of the land, the water, the air and the seasons. No mechanical pumping is employed. Inoculated yeast and malolactic cultures, hand punching, basket pressing, French oak and California fruit! Small and unique lots are what we’re after, ultra premium being the goal.

Now open for tasting every day except Tuesday from 11:00-4:00.
