St. Francis Signature Sonoma County Vineyards
“A Terroir Tapestry”

St. Francis Winery’s commitment to intensely flavored and complex wines begins in the vineyard. It is for that reason that Sonoma County, with it rich variety of interwoven soils, elevations and microclimates was chosen as home to St. Francis Winery & Vineyards. Sonoma County has provided a “terroir tapestry” of rich soils and amazing wine growing capabilities. Each of our estate vineyards has a different microclimate, all part of the Sonoma County macroclimate that is so superbly suited to the growing of wine grapes. St. Francis firmly believes in the power of terroir and is committed to nurturing superlative grapes in the right place to let their natural qualities shine.

Since its founding in 1971, St. Francis Winery & Vineyards has carried on a constant search for vineyards with unique soil and climate characteristics—along the way cultivating an in-depth understanding of every Sonoma appellation, which we have used to acquire and develop the very best vineyards for the winery over the last several decades.

St. Francis owns 600 acres of prime Sonoma County vineyards—carefully chosen, diverse vineyard sites with varying soil compositions of loam, clay and volcanic soils. St. Francis' estate vineyards give the winery complete control over growing and production; a cornerstone to the winery's quality philosophy.

In addition to owning vineyards in Sonoma's highest quality appellations, St. Francis has carefully nurtured long-term relationships with superlative Sonoma County grape growers, granting us access to some of the region's most coveted old vines Zinfandel grapes and other varietals from acclaimed vineyards including Rockpile Vineyard, Amman Ranch, Leras Ranch and Serres Ranch.
