Robert Young Estate Winery is a family-owned winery in Alexander Valley, where six generations of the Young family have farmed the same 448-acre estate since 1858. Established in 1997, the winery produces exclusive, small-lot, estate-grown wines—including acclaimed Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Bordeaux blends—from the estate's finest vineyard blocks. The family's legacy includes patriarch Robert Young, who became the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon in Alexander Valley, helping establish the varietal for which the region is renowned today. Guests enjoy warm, family hospitality in a tasting room perched atop the estate, offering one of the most breathtaking panoramic vineyard views in Sonoma County.

“We had an amazing tasting here, led by our knowledgeable and friendly guide Tyler. The wines were so good that we immediately signed up for the wine club. The tasting options weren’t set in stone either, we could request to try whatever we wanted. It’s also an incredible location with stunning views across the Alexander Valley!”
