Where to Try the Best Moscato in Sonoma County
Sonoma Wine Country is known for all kinds of delicious wines, including Moscato — a delightful varietal that’s a pleasure to sip. Moscato, made from the Muscat grape, features flavors of sweet peach, orange blossom, and nectarine. In shades of white and pretty pink, Moscato offers a slightly lower alcohol content and pairs well with desserts, spicy foods, and beautiful scenery!
In Sonoma County, give your tastebuds a treat at these wineries offering some of the best Moscato in California.
Taft Street Winery, Sebastopol
This little winery puts out great value Sonoma County wines from a former apple processing plant tucked away in Sebastopol. This boutique producer earns high praise for varietals that enhance floral aromatics, such as their dry Rosé, which has won past awards at the North Coast Wine Competition.
Imagery Estate Winery, Glen Ellen
A fun place to explore is Imagery Estate, where experimentation is the name of the game at this art-themed winery founded by Sonoma Valley’s Benziger family. Imagery’s far-ranging selection includes Muscat Canelli and many other bottles labeled with unique art.
Kokomo Winery, Healdsburg
A centerpiece winery, Kokomo has a varietal for everyone to taste in their barrel room tasting bar. Seek out their Dry Creek Valley Timber Crest Vineyard Muscat Blanc to discover how nuanced and bright this wine can be, with grassy acidity and exotic aromas of bergamot and lemon peel.
Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery, Healdsburg
Known for its mountain-grown ‘Super Tuscan’ style wines, this picturesque Dry Creek Valley winery grows its Black Muscat on one of its renowned vineyards. This harmonious wine is made in a dessert style, with a heady perfume and an intensely purple hue.
