Alexander Valley Vineyards is a family-owned and operated winery located in the heart of Sonoma’s Alexander Valley, on the historic site originally settled in the 1840’s by valley namesake, Cyrus Alexander. With vineyards that stretch from the banks of the Russian River to the Mayacamas hillsides the Wetzel Family continues the tradition of family farming on the property. Our wines reflect the unique character of the region and we are known for elegant Cabernet Sauvignon, iconic Zinfandels (including Sin Zin), luscious Chardonnay, rich Merlot and our flagship, CYRUS. AVV’s vineyard practices were initially recognized by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance in March 2006 and in 2010 we were recognized as a certified “Sonoma Green Business.” Our family creates wines of distinction for everyone.
