Founded in 2001 by friends Craig Haserot and Erich Bradley, Sojourn built its reputation on single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from revered sites — Gap's Crown, Rodgers Creek, Sangiacomo — plus small-lot Chardonnay and Cabernet. The winery owns no vineyards, partnering with growers. The downtown Sonoma salon is steps off the Plaza.
Sojourn Cellars is a small Kenwood-based producer making some of Sonoma Valley's most precise single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon from estate and sourced fruit. Founded in 2001 by Craig Haserot and Erich Bradley, the winery has built a loyal following for wines that prioritize site expression over winemaking intervention. The Cabernet Sauvignon program in particular — drawing from Sonoma Valley benchland vineyards — produces wines of unusual structure and restraint for the appellation.
Rodgers Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast — Earthy and bright-fruited; the signature Petaluma Gap expression in the lineup.
Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast — Medium-bodied with warmer dark cherry and ripe strawberry tones from the handshake-deal vineyard.
Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast — The richest of the single-vineyard Pinots, with cola accents and considerable depth.
Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast — Carefully oaked, with the texture and balance Sojourn's stainless-and-barrel program is known for.
Beckstoffer Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford — The Napa exception in an otherwise Sonoma-focused house; structured and built to age.
Founded in 2001 by longtime friends Craig Haserot and Erich Bradley, Sojourn Cellars built its reputation on single-vineyard Pinot Noirs sourced from revered sites — Gap's Crown, Rodgers Creek, Sangiacomo — supplemented by small-lot Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery does not own vineyards; it partners closely with growers and helps direct farming to protect the integrity of the fruit. Tastings are seated, comparative, and 45–60 minutes — a structured way to taste across appellations within a single varietal. The salon sits steps off Sonoma Plaza, walkable to dinner or the next flight. Quiet, serious, vineyard-driven.
Co-founder Erich Bradley grew up in Palo Alto and studied biochemistry at the University of Chicago and intellectual history at Oxford before his family's purchase of a Kenwood ranch with a small bonded winery pulled him into wine in the late 1990s. He earned his stripes as Assistant Winemaker at Arrowood, then co-founded Sojourn in 2001 with tennis friend Craig Haserot. His winemaking philosophy is hands-off site expression — whole-berry native fermentation in small open-tops, hand punch-downs, basket pressing, no pumps, unfined and unfiltered Pinot. Sojourn now produces 21 wines from across Sonoma's premier sites including handshake-deal relationships with Sangiacomo, Gap's Crown, Rodgers Creek, Durell, and Reuling. Bradley also makes wines for Repris and Pangloss Cellars and serves as VP on the board of the Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Association. In August 2025 Sojourn was acquired by Pat Roney (former Vintage Wine Estates CEO); Bradley remains as winemaker.
Craig Haserot co-founded Sojourn Cellars in 2001 with winemaker Erich Bradley — two friends who bonded over tennis and a shared love of wine. With a background in software sales and a collector’s palate, Haserot handled the business and built Sojourn’s devoted direct-to-consumer following while Bradley made the wine. They started with barely a hundred cases of Cabernet sold to friends and family and grew it into a critically acclaimed boutique house known for single-vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. As proprietor, Haserot has guided the brand through changes of ownership while remaining its steady hand and public face.
