Auteur Wines

Auteur Wines Exceptional handcrafted small-lot Pinot Noir & Chardonnay from Northern California.
📍Visit us in Sonoma It is an artistry not to be measured against a standard.

We strive for excellence to create pure, profound, classic wines each vintage that are paramount in defining the uniqueness of their provenance. Blending the distinguishing strengths of the textural components from the tiny berries grown in a high altitude, first ridge line, vineyard looking over the majestic Pacific, embracing the muscular tannin structure from a rogue and pedigree Anderson Valle

y's site, or capturing the vein of minerality and elegance from vineyard once derived from ancient river beds and volcanic soil and accentuating the palate heaviness from a celebrated suitcase clone. The joy of the discovery is what keeps our craftsmanship alive and fresh. We love old world wines, the classic timelessness of them, we love the California sunshine, the complexity of the coast, the coarseness of our ancient fossilized soils, what fortitude to explore the tiniest of climates, to the pedigreed vineyards of Sonoma and Napa. We exhale the new world, while respectfully embracing timeless traditions of the old world. APPOINTMENTS

Labor Day weekend, at the Russian River Estate: four days, four afternoons of live music on the patio, the BBQ lit, and copious pours.⁠

Chef Craig Wilmer and the kitchen are running a live seasonal grill all weekend. An evolving menu over open fire, built to sit next to a crisp glass of Rosé, mouth watering Chardonnay or perfectly balanced Pinot. ⁠

Harvest continues on, and the picks keep coming in.

We called our first fruit earlier than we ever have. Kenneth says it's the earliest harvest of his career and the pace continues on. Block by block, morning by morning, the vineyard sets the schedule and we keep up.

This is what it looks like right now: headlamps before sunrise, bins moving, everyone dialed in.

Still plenty of fruit to bring in. Onward.

Glass out. Pinot in. Afternoon underway.

Meet the people behind the experience. ✨️

You won't find their names on a label. But they're in every part of your afternoon. Chardonnay and Rosé chilled to the perfect temperature, the table set before you arrive, the glasses polished and waiting by the time you reach them.

They'll learn your name before your second glass. Notice it's empty before you do. Pour you the wine you came for, and then the one you didn't know you'd love, the one that follows you home.

The wine gets the headlines. These are the people who make you want to stay.

No script. No spiel. Nobody reciting tasting notes at you. Just people who welcome you in like family — the kind of table where you arrive a guest and leave a regular.

Come meet them. Reserve your experience at the Russian River Estate or the Bungalow via the link bio or Tock today.

The wine brings you up the driveway. The kitchen will blow you away.

Executive Chef Craig Wilmer cooks at the estate the way we make wine, on instinct, in season, wild and foraged and local, nothing on the table the land didn't offer first. This is a chef with the talent to run a white-tablecloth room anywhere, cooking instead where the wine grows. Because that's where the ingredients are.

What you're seeing here will have changed by the time you visit. That's the point, the menu answers to the market, the forager, and the morning. What doesn't change is the caliber: every plate built to hold its own next to a single-vineyard Pinot and Chardonnay, and most of them win the argument.

Come for the wine. Stay for what the kitchen does to it. Add a culinary experience to your Russian River Estate experience. Book through Tock or inquire directly to enjoy a one of a kind culinary experience.

Good wine keeps good company, and nobody ever said no to a little bite coming along with it.⁠
⁠
Tastings at the Bungalow now offer a pairing to savor, cheese & charcuterie box set down alongside the flight. Local cheese, cured meats, flavors worth reaching for between pours. No pairing notes, no instructions. Your instincts already know what goes with what.⁠
⁠
This is how an afternoon at the Bungalow should go: a shaded seat under the trees out front or in the interior of the barn in the back, a flight moving at its own pace, and enough on the board that nobody's checking the clock. ⁠
