Sobon Estate

Founded in 1856, this Registered Historic Landmark is among the oldest wineries in California. Resurrected in the 1990s by the Sobon family, who pioneered organic grape growing and the planting of Rhône varietals in the Sierra foothills, Sobon Estate is dedicated to making outstanding zinfandels that express the true character of the vineyards for which they’re named. The winery is also the site of the Shenandoah Valley Museum of early agriculture and winemaking, and boasts one of the prettiest picnic areas in Amador County.
