Sebastiani Vineyards was founded in 1904 by Samuele Sebastiani, an Italian immigrant who built one of Sonoma's most productive and historically significant wine operations. For most of the 20th century, Sebastiani was the largest producer in the valley and a major force in establishing Sonoma wine culture. The winery remains on its original Fourth Street East site in the town of Sonoma, and while ownership has changed hands over the decades, the historic property and its legacy remain central to Sonoma's wine identity.
Cherryblock Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley: the iconic flagship from estate vines planted in 1961.
Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel: a bold, hearty Zin of raspberry, briary fruit, and sweet spice.
Alexander Valley Merlot: a supple, dark-fruited red from the warm Alexander Valley.
Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon: the signature structured Cabernet drawn from across Sonoma's appellations.
Chardonnay: a fruit-forward Sonoma white from one of the county's founding wineries (est. 1904).
Samuele Sebastiani arrived from Tuscany in 1895 and founded the winery in 1904, making it one of California's oldest continuously family-named estates. The original downtown Sonoma property remains the tasting room and hospitality center: historic redwood tanks, antique winemaking tools, and a grand event space intact. The Cherryblock Vineyard, planted in 1961 directly behind the winery, produces the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon that has earned repeated Wine Spectator Top 100 recognition. Tastings range from a casual five-wine flight featuring wines from across Sonoma County appellations to a vertical Cherryblock experience celebrating the winery's 120+ years of vintage history. A cornerstone of Sonoma history, still accessible to walk-ins.
