Buena Vista Winery

Buena Vista Winery California’s first premium winery, Buena Vista's history is as colorful as it is proud. The legend has been re-born under Jean-Charles Boisset'.
(3504)

Spanning Napa and Sonoma Chateau Buena Vista is the first stone Chateau and the first caves of California. Before there were vineyards in every valley north of San Francisco, before Napa and Sonoma were household names, before there was a California wine industry at all, there was Buena Vista. Founded in 1857, Buena Vista Winery is California’s oldest premium winery, and its history is as colorful

as it is proud. Just outside the town of Sonoma, the original winery is now a California Historic Landmark, and home to our Tasting Room & Visitor’s Center. Today, the legend is being re-born under the vision of Jean-Charles Boisset. Our future is our past… our vivacious, colorful, and pioneering past!

What happens after the grapes arrive?

Sorting, crushing, pressing, tasting, adjusting, and making hundreds of small decisions that will shape wines you may not drink for years. Harvest may begin in the vineyard, but the real work of the vintage continues long after the fruit reaches the cellar.

Some places inspire because they're polished.

Buena Vista inspires because it's lived in.

Weathered stone. Worn wood. Deep green vines. Soft afternoon light. Every texture and every color reflects nearly two centuries of care while continuing to shape the experiences being created here today.

The future has always looked good against this backdrop.

Privacy has a way of changing the pace.

The Aristocratic Tasting was created for guests looking to experience Buena Vista at its most personal: a privately guided journey through the winery's history and finest wines, shared at a pace that invites questions, stories, and connection.

A glass of sparkling wine. A small spoonful of caviar. An elegant setting.

You'll discover how acidity brightens richness, how texture changes perception, and why one of the world's most celebrated pairings has endured for generations. Every comparison reveals something new, transforming what seems like an indulgence into an experience of discovery.

More than 150 years separate these two photographs.

History is part of every visit here—not because it's preserved behind ropes or glass, but because you're walking through it.

The next time you're here, touch the walls and walk the grounds that Agoston Haraszthy and so many others walked over 150 years ago, doing the same thing you're doing – drinking wine.

One path leads to another, another corner reveals another view, and suddenly an afternoon tasting has become an afternoon exploring.

The wine may be what brings you here.

The grounds are often what convince you to stay just a little longer.

Just beyond the Champagne Cellar, the courtyard comes alive with conversation, laughter, shaded tables, and glasses waiting to be filled.
It's the kind of place where one tasting turns into another conversation, where a bottle you planned to enjoy here somehow finds its way home with you, and where leaving always seems to happen a little later than expected.

Who's in your "we need to get together more often" group?

The Count's Club has a funny way of turning good intentions into actual plans. Wine pickup weekends become reunions. New releases become something to discover together. And somehow an afternoon at Buena Vista becomes a tradition everyone looks forward to.

The wine is part of it.

The people you share it with are the reason you keep coming back.
