North America United States Sonoma County, California Wineries Buena Vista Winery

Overview

Buena Vista Winery

The guide was updated: 2024-09-30

Before there were vineyards in every valley north of San Francisco, before Napa and Sonoma were household names, before there was a California wine world at all, there was Buena Vista. Founded in 1857, Buena Vista is California’s first premium winery, and its history is as colorful as it is proud. Today, the legend is being re-born under the vision of Jean-Charles Boisset. Just outside the town of Sonoma, the original winery is now a California Historic Landmark, and home to the Winery, Tasting Room, and the Visitor’s Center.
