California’s first premium winery, Buena Vista's history is as colorful as it is proud. The legend has been re-born under Jean-Charles Boisset'.
(3498)

Spanning Napa and Sonoma Chateau Buena Vista is the first stone Chateau and the first caves of California. Before there were vineyards in every valley north of San Francisco, before Napa and Sonoma were household names, before there was a California wine industry at all, there was Buena Vista. Founded in 1857, Buena Vista Winery is California’s oldest premium winery, and its history is as colorful as it is proud. Just outside the town of Sonoma, the original winery is now a California Historic Landmark, and home to our Tasting Room & Visitor’s Center. Today, the legend is being re-born under the vision of Jean-Charles Boisset. Our future is our past… our vivacious, colorful, and pioneering past!
