Iron Horse Vineyards is celebrated for its exceptional sparkling wines, crafted at our family-owned estate in western Sonoma County. When you arrive, you'll be welcomed by 164 acres of gently rolling hills planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In the summer, these vineyards transform into a lush, green sea, offering stunning views across Sonoma County all the way to Mt. St. Helena. Iron Horse has earned a distinguished reputation, with our wines served at state dinners across seven consecutive presidential administrations, as well as at historic events like the turn of the millennium celebrations at the White House. Our Green Valley Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs are known for their vibrancy, structure, nuance, and silkiness. Visit us for exquisite wines and stay for the warm hospitality and relaxed, friendly atmosphere set against a breathtaking backdrop.
“First stop on our Russian River Valley day, so clear of mind! The sparkling is fantastic. The views are phenomenal. And the tasting setup has a great Cali casual vibe. The wine and the view do the work and the space is unpretentious and welcoming. Our first and after a few days in Sonoma County, still our favorite. And now we’re members”
“There are world-class sparkling wine producers, and then there's Iron Horse — which happens to be one mile from our front gate. We've been Corral Club members for years (4 bottles every other month), and we bring every visiting guest here without exception. While Iron Horse also makes beautiful still Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, we come for the bubbles. Their sparkling wine portfolio is genuinely extraordinary — diverse, consistent, and able to hold its own against anything from Champagne or anywhere else. What really elevates every visit is the team. All of the hosts are exceptionally knowledgeable, warm, and enthusiastic — but Ana is in a category of her own. She brings a depth of passion and expertise that makes each tasting feel like a personal deep dive into what makes Iron Horse special. If you get Ana as your host, you're in for a treat. We are truly lucky to live this close to such a world-class institution. An absolute must-visit in Sonoma County.”
“Our trip to Iron horse was amazing with a spectacular view. But, our experience did not end there. We shipped wine home and shortly after our trip the huge winter storm hit most of the nation. There was damage to our bottles that we received due to the storm and winter weather. Iron horse has been amazing in helping us resolve our issue. Their customer service has been amazing which has been a huge relief.”
“We had a beautiful Monday afternoon at the winery. Our host, Gracen, was delightful and could match our since humor. We never felt rushed, so we meandered around enjoying the different views between tastings. They have a beautiful vineyard and it was a lovely afternoon at a very reasonable price. We did the tasting of still wines 🍷😋👍🏻”
“This is one of our favorite wineries to taste at. The location is gorgeous and the sparkling wines are incredible. We used to be wine club members and I miss our regular shipments. It may feel out of the way but it really isn’t. It’s definitely worth it to make a tasting reservation to enjoy some sparkling wine on the property. Another bonus is that they waive the testing fee if you purchase 3 bottles.”
