Sojourn Cellars is a small Sonoma producer of precise single-vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon, made from fruit grown by partner growers across Sonoma and Napa counties. Founded in 2001 by Craig Haserot and Erich Bradley, it has been owned since August 2025 by an investment group led by vintner Pat Roney, with Bradley still directing the winemaking alongside longtime assistant winemaker Rob Sanford. The style is hands-off, built to let each vineyard speak rather than the cellar. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Napa sites such as Oakville Ranch Vineyard, a structured counterpoint to the Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.
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.
Sojourn does not own vineyards; it partners closely with growers and helps direct farming to protect the integrity of the fruit. New releases go out three times a year to the allocation mailing list, the wine club, and subscription members, and most of the wines are single-vineyard bottlings. Tastings are seated, comparative, and about an hour (a structured way to taste across appellations within a single varietal), by appointment between 10 and 5, with walk-in appointments offered first come, first served. The salon sits steps off Sonoma Plaza, a quiet stop on the Sonoma wine walk and walkable to dinner or the next flight. Quiet, serious, vineyard-driven.
