Have you been searching the Sonoma Carneros for an ideal winery site on or near a main highway? Maybe near other known wineries. If so, then have a look at this:
22097 Bonness Road is a 50,000 case permitted winery site complete with public tours and tasting, special events and approved plans for over 31,000 sf of winery production space, barrel storage, public tasting and hospitality. Neighbors include Robledo and Schug. Oh, did I also mention the 13.5 acres of new planted, high-density Pinot Noir (5.5 acres) 20 year old Chardonnay (7.5 acres)… or the 2,276 sf partially remodeled home with secluded and enclosed residential compound, pool, and lush gardens? A few pictures are worth more than a thousand of my words....

The seller is flexible and would be open to reasonable
partnership options, leasing the house or vines, if the buyer/partner is
a reasonable sort of person. You want to call me on this one to go see
it as there are large dogs…really, very large ones at that! They are
friendly, but can be intimidating...to say the least.
Call me. I would be happy to show you around.

If 35-acres of world class, Russian River Valley Appellation (AVA)
Pinot Noir vineyard land is what you are looking for, then read on.
We have taken the mystery out of this site with information on soils
from Dr. Paul Anamosa, PhD and a Climate Study from Mark Greenspan. This
property is adjacent to Kendall Jackson’s Bloomfield Ranch, where they
just substantially expanded their existing vineyard planted to Pinot
Noir. They must like what they are seeing in that 4-year old vineyard.
The “Sebastopol Hills” area was once thought too cool for vineyards and
was considered to be on the very edge of the climatic envelope. But as
vintners have more recently understood, growing Pinot in cooler areas
facilitates slower sugar development, allows more time for flavor to
develop. The result is fully expressed flavors at lower alcohol levels.
This site is slightly warmer (degree days) than many of those very cool
coastal vineyards growing top-rated Pinot Noir such as certain Freestone
area vineyards and other well-known vineyards, even further west.
Slopes average 16%; Mapped as Steinbeck Sandy Loam Soils and the asking
price includes a new well; AVA is Russian River Valley & Sonoma
Coast; Zoning allows wineries. The existing home is antiquated. With an
asking price of just under $50,000 per acre ($49,875 per acre) and no
residential improvement cost, we think this listing represents the best
Pinot Land deal in the Russian River Valley Appellation.

I look forward to your call.
