A. Rafanelli Winery is a historic, four-generation family estate nestled in Sonoma County’s Dry Creek Valley, renowned for its premier, small-production red wines. Founded in the early 1900s by Italian immigrants, the winery remains fiercely independent, intentionally keeping production limited to maintain exceptional handcrafted quality. They specialize exclusively in estate-grown Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, utilizing traditional, time-honored winemaking techniques. Because of their strict focus on quality over quantity, their acclaimed bottles are sold almost exclusively through a private mailing list and a select few local restaurants.
