Located in the heart of Dry Creek Valley (Sonoma County, California), Estate 1856 is a boutique, family-owned winery. We specialize in small, hand-crafted lots of estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. Tending the land our ancestors originally purchased in 1856, we proudly carry on a tradition of farming that has continued through five generations.
