Carlisle Winery & Vineyards

6301 Starr Road
Windsor, CA 95492
Description

We are a small Sonoma County winery specializing in the production of old-vine, vineyard designated Zinfandels and red Rhone varieties (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Petite Sirah). We have also recently added our first whites, two blends from historic, old-vine vineyards plus Sonoma County’s first ever Grüner Veltliner. While we like our wines to be bold and intensely flavored, each reflecting its vintage and vineyard, we also strive to create wines of balance, complexity, and nuance. Our goal is always the same – grow and source outstanding fruit, do as little as possible to it, and bottle outstanding, pleasurable wine at the fairest price possible.

Tastings are offered on Fridays by appointment only and can be scheduled by phone or email. Our tasting are intimate “mom and pop” style with informal education about the wines and vineyards they come from. Tastings are $20/person, but we waive a fee for a bottle purchased.
