Wine Tasting Vine-Side

The vineyards have filled out with lush canopy, and flowers are emerging which will turn into juicy berries.  Warm days coupled with cool nights will ensure even ripening and fresh acidity.  Soak it in on our vine-side patio with a tasting flight of our award-winning wines.  We're open Thursday through Monday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (5 p.m. on Saturdays) Tastings start at just $30.  Complimentary for Compass Club Members.

Throwback Thursday

Thursday Time Machine

Every Thursday, we're going back in time a few decades and offering a delicious flight of hand-crafted wines for just $10.  Amazing!  Squeeze into your old bell bottoms, flaunt your groovy beads, and soak in the panoramic vineyard views on our lovely tasting room patio.  Reserve here or simply come on in.  Walk-ins welcome too.

Our tasting room, tucked away under a huge oak and overlooking our vineyards is the place to enjoy a well aged Cabernet Sauvignon and other fine wines. West Wines is a family winery in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County run by Katarina Bonde and Bengt Akerlind since 1998. Our winemaking style weighs heavily on traditional French methods enhancing elegance and complexity combined with the fruity and rich flavors from our estate grown grapes. We have two sustainably farmed vineyards, one creek-side on the valley floor and the other 400 feet up on a ridge with beautiful south and west exposure.  Read more here.
