Schug Carneros Estate Winery celebrates the 40th anniversary of its first vintage, made when a passion for Pinot Noir led patriarch Walter Schug to establish his own label and eventually leave Joseph Phelps, where he was the founding winemaker. Now the family-owned winery is entering a new chapter, with dynamic young German-American winemaker Johannes Scheid bringing modern touches to the estate’s European-styled wines. Schug's 100-year-old heritage — stemming from a Pinot Noir estate in Germany's Rheingau region originally planted in the 12th century — spanned an era of pioneering winemaking before putting down roots in the cool-climate, wind-swept Carneros hills in Sonoma. Today, Walter’s children are preserving their family’s rich winemaking legacy for generations to come. Â

Cave Tour & Wine Tasting
Went to Schug in September 2022 with my fam and my gf for a tour of the winery, its cave, and a tasting inside the cave. Such a wonderful experience with Jamie, who imparted a ton of information...
All wineries are not created equal
Our host did not give us any information about the wines and could not answer our questions. The wines were average.
Fantastic Wine, great experience
We really enjoyed the Schug Vineyard tasting, we got to try a variety of wines from a sparkling Pinot Noir to a Cabernet Sauvignon. They were all so good, and we even ended up purchasing two bottles...
