Preston Farm and Winery

Preston Farm and Winery in Dry Creek Valley is as much a working farm as it is a winery — they grow olives, raise animals, bake bread, and make wine all on the same land. Lou Preston was an early champion of Rhône and Italian varietals in Sonoma long before they were fashionable, which gives the lineup a distinctly earthy, old-world personality. Wines like Fauve (a Rhône-inspired red blend) and their Dry Creek Zinfandel are honest and food-driven rather than showy. Pick up a loaf of bread at the tasting room — it's genuinely worth the trip.
