La Rochelle Wines
At La Rochelle we hope to invite people into the world of wine. We believe that sharing a bottle of wine with friends & family, over a great meal is one of the true joys in life. Wine touches all the senses, binds the moment together and creates a lasting memory. Our reason for existence is to enhance the quality of life by offering wines that, when shared, will add joy and create lasting memories.
Located in the Heart of Sonoma Valley, our small, Family Owned Winery is the home of the Ultimate Pinot Noir Experience. Our Kenwood home is the place to experience small-lot, single vineyard Pinot Noir & Chardonnay from California's greatest growing regions.
