Scherrer Winery

Scherrer Winery is a small, family-owned winery based in Sonoma County, California, with a focus on handcrafted, full-flavored wines that showcase the unique personality of their vineyards. Founded in 1991 by Fred Scherrer, the winery has its roots in his father's Alexander Valley vineyard, where he first gained recognition for his Zinfandel. Over time, Fred expanded his portfolio to include Pinot Noir from the Russian River and Sonoma County, as well as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Grenache, all of which exemplify the bounty of Sonoma County's vineyards. The winery's philosophy is centered around expressing the personality of their unique vineyards through careful handcrafting and attention to detail. The Scherrer family has a long history in the wine industry, with Fred's early experiences making wine from his father's vineyard and working at local wineries influencing his decision to start his own label. With support from friends and mentors, including Tom Dehlinger of Dehlinger Winery, Fred was able to develop a solid business plan and eventually establish Scherrer Winery in its own facility by 1997. Today, the winery offers a range of wines that are ready to enjoy now or age, with a focus on showcasing the best of Sonoma County's vineyards. Visitors can explore the winery's offerings through online sales and tastings, although it appears that reservations may be required for in-person visits.
