Dry Creek Vineyard

Dry Creek Vineyard is a family-owned winery located in the heart of Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California. Founded in 1972 by David S. Stare, the winery has been consistently producing high-quality wines for over five decades. The Stare family's dedication to sustainable farming practices and commitment to quality have earned them recognition as one of the few remaining truly private, family-owned wineries in Sonoma County. Dry Creek Vineyard is particularly known for its Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc wines, with a signature style that has been praised by critics such as Leslie Sbrocco and Jim Laube. The winery's history is deeply rooted in the Stare family's passion for wine, which began when David Stare developed an interest in wine while living in Germany and later fell in love with French wines during a trip to France. After reading an article about California's potential for producing world-class wines, David packed up his family and moved to Sonoma County, where he began taking winemaking classes at UC Davis and eventually established Dry Creek Vineyard as the trendsetter of the region. Today, visitors can experience the winery's rich history and terroir through public events, private tastings, and tours, with opportunities to learn about the family's legacy and enjoy their award-winning wines in a beautiful setting.
