Winemaker-hosted tastings are led at our cozy Glen Ellen studio, which is just ten minutes north of downtown Sonoma but feels worlds away.
Welcome to our little corner of Sonoma Valley, where friends gather, memories are made, and great wine is celebrated. Our limited-production wines are all wild-yeast fermented, unfined, unfiltered, and sustainably farmed.

Wild by Nature Tasting
Winemaker Rob guides you through four wines made with wild yeast, patience, and a lot of love. This is the tasting that shows you who we are: low-intervention winemaking on a small scale where every label tells a story. Purchase two bottles and we’ll waive your tasting fee — or join our Wine Family and waive two to six tastings at every visit, depending on your level.
$45 per person
CELEBRATE
Red Wine + Cake Pairing
Save this one for the occasions worth marking. Winemaker Rob guides you through a flight of one white and three reds, paired with a decadent chocolate cake made to share — book at least a week ahead! Purchase two bottles and we’ll waive your tasting fee — or join our Wine Family and waive two to six tastings at every visit, depending on your level.
$45 per person
$50 cake prepaid add-on (serves 4-6)
Members enjoy complimentary tastings and special pricing on wines and merchandise.
Cancellation Policy: We would greatly appreciate 24 hours’ notice for Wild by Nature cancellations. Red Wine + Cake Pairings can be cancelled up to one week prior to reservation.

What our guests and members say about us
★★★★★
Schermeister is one of our favorite wineries. Their Pinot Noir is fruit forward but still has great balance. Excellent stuff!

★★★★★
We had a fantastic visit, and totally enjoyed the wines. Rob is quite the storyteller and he kept everyone laughing!

★★★★★
Don’t sleep on this place sitting behind the Jack London Village. Robert is possibly the most passionate winemaker I’ve spoken to, with a knowledge and insight you won’t get from the employees at other wineries. And their wines are absolutely top notch, the best I tasted on our last trip to Sonoma and Napa, hands down.

The cozy, sweet tasting experience Rob and Laura provided for our group was the best one we had our entire trip to Sonoma. The space is beautiful, the wines were delicious, and we loved hearing about how they got their start! We had the best time, and we’ll definitely be back!

We’re located at Jack London Village, Glen Ellen’s oldest building rich with history.
Tucked along the Sonoma Creek in the hamlet of Glen Ellen, Jack London Village is the oldest building in town — once home to the literary legend’s own haunts, now home to ours. Wander the creekside walkways, settle into a quiet corner of the property, and pour yourself into a tasting that feels like stepping back in time.
Parking lots are located at each end of the building, so if you miss one simply slow down at the other side to park. We are located on the creek side of Jack London Village. Park and use the walkways to get to the backside of the building. We are at the opposite end of Yeti Restaurant.
Industry & Locals
