Larson Family Winery

The Larson Family Winery is located near the Sonoma/Napa split on Highway 128. If not for the sign, you would never know it exists as it sits at the end of a residential dirt road (they do a good job of reassuring you with welcome signs).

The winery is an old rodeo ranch and has a distinct cowboy feel to it. There is nothing pretentious about this place. It is very a relaxed, family friendly winery with plenty of picnic tables, a bocce ball court, and green grass for blankets. A host of farm animals -horses and a llama named (pun intended) "Dolly Llama"- are present which only add to the cowboy feel.

As for the wine, the tasting room attendant was quick to point out that Larson is known for its award winning Cabernet.

Larson Family Winery is open for public tastings. They also offer a Civil War era guest house that sleeps up to 7 people.
