This year’s Gatsby inspired Grape Affair treated guests to an evening of dining and dancing as the sun sets over the vineyard in Lincolnville.
Vino al Fresco is all about the vineyard, food, wine, and fellowship and we couldn’t have asked for a more incredible evening.
At this year’s Live in the Vines, Cellardoor friends new and old joined us in our vineyard for an afternoon of good food, good friends, and good fun!
This season of events kicked off with a Taste of Spring cooking class with Chef Kerry Alterio and his fabulous Cafe Miranda team in the farmhouse.
In January we learned Cellardoor wines won 24 awards, including two Best of Class awards, three Double Golds, and five Golds at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition (SFCWC). As our Winemaker Aaron Peet exclaimed a few days ago; it is a good start to 2019! Read More
This week our winery team has received 24 tons of Tempranillo, Merlot, and Grenache as well as the juice of Semillon and Chenin blanc. While some of our crew is sorting fruit as it heads for pressing, others are managing pumpovers three times a day, prepping yeast for inoculation, and of course, cleaning and testing as we go. Crush is crushing on.
Vinfest 2017 was a truly special evening on Thompson’s Point. Read More

When a member of our team pours Cellardoor C’est de ‘or in our tastings rooms, it’s likely they’ll paint a picture of sitting in front of wood stove after dinner. That’s because our Port inspired wine, whose name means “it is of gold,” IS the perfect after dinner cordial to drink in front of a fire in the middle of winter. Read More
