Benziger Family Winery

Benziger produces wines from its Sonoma Mountain estate, set in an ancient volcanic caldera with basalt and ash derived soils, and from select partner vineyards across Sonoma County. The team farms and sources fruit under third party certified programs that emphasize soil health and biodiversity to express place in the glass. Varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Noir.

Benziger is popular for its combination of responsible farming, distinct Sonoma terroir, and a memorable visitor experience.
