Charles Creek Vineyard, Family winery in Sonoma Valley, California
Charles Creek Vineyard is a winery in Sonoma Valley that sources grapes from vineyards across Sonoma and Napa regions. The operation focuses on producing Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon wines using fruit from various locations.
The winery was established in 2002, growing out of earlier work when the owners began cultivating Chardonnay grapes on their Sonoma Mountain property in 1992. This progression from grape growing to operating an independent winery marks the development of the family business over a decade.
The name reflects a blend of personal and family connections that the owners carry into their winemaking practice. This approach shows how small wineries weave their own stories into the identity of the place.
The winery is located in a central spot at Sonoma Plaza, making it easy to find and visit. Visitors can plan their stay around the tasting room's operating hours and should check ahead for any seasonal adjustments.
A large sculpture made entirely from wine corks greeted visitors at the entrance, named Ms. Moo-Lot in a playful reference to the wine world. This quirky artwork became a memorable landmark that caught the eye of anyone arriving at the tasting room.
