Winemaker Bart Hansen pours his Sonoma Valley wines — Rhône varietals and old-vine Zinfandel — inside The Tank, an 1880s redwood fermentation tank across from Jack London Village. A cellar rat who opened here in 2024, he usually hosts himself. Book ahead for one of wine country's most unusual rooms.
Dane Cellars may be the most singular stop on any walk: winemaker Bart Hansen pours inside The Tank — a 14,000-gallon redwood fermentation tank built in the 1880s for Joshua Chauvet's Glen Ellen winery, now standing across from Jack London Village. A self-described "cellar rat," Hansen logged decades of harvests at Kenwood and Benziger before opening here in 2024.
He makes about 800 cases a year of handcrafted Sonoma Valley wine — Rhône varietals and old-vine Zinfandel among them — and usually pours and spins the records himself. Taste inside the round tank, on the patio, or at the Winemaker's Round Table; book ahead, and let him tell you the building's story.
