Sones Cellars

Sones Cellars is a family-owned winery based on the Westside in Santa Cruz, California. Founded by Michael and Lois Sones, who met while working on a cruise ship, the winery has been producing small lots of fine quality wines since 2003. Their focus lies in Petite Sirah and Zinfandel from exceptional vineyards in Central California, with an emphasis on sustainability through organic growing practices and SIP certification. The winery also explores other grape varieties that thrive in their local environment. Sones Cellars is committed to minimal intervention during the winemaking process, allowing for careful attention to detail in each small-batch production. Their wines are designed to pair well with good food and friends, reflecting the social aspect of wine appreciation. The tasting room, located at 334B Ingalls Street in Santa Cruz, offers a welcoming atmosphere with art on the walls, where visitors can pull up a stool and get to know the Sones family. With a focus on sustainability, the winery reuses bottles whenever possible and recycles natural corks.
