Let’s un-cork the wild year that was 2025. Another year older and we are still fermenting. Same families, new vintages. With three vintages of Sonocaia Sagrantino now in bottle, and Domesday wines in bottle as well, we will see you in the spring 2026 for a major relaunch of the winery. 

As we reflect on 2025, we’re grateful for a year grounded in the vineyard and strengthened by community. From winter pruning through harvest, careful farming and healthy soils allowed our grapes to truly express this place. Each wine reflects that commitment—patient authentic winemaking, strong partnerships, and respect for the land. We’re thankful for our guests who share these values and support our work. Health—of our vines, our wines, and the people behind them—remains central to everything we do.
Looking ahead to 2026, we’re excited for the planned relaunch of the winery with an all-new visitor experience. Thoughtfully redesigned tastings, deeper connections to our farming and wines and people, and a renewed sense of place will welcome guests in fresh ways. We can’t wait to share what’s next.

Ken and Cynthia, and Dom and Jordan, we all wish you a wonderful holiday season. Come visit us in 2026. There’ll be even more bees and chickens and garden beds and composting, and creek restoration, and olives, and definitely more delicious wines!
