Bennett Valley Cellars

While they are serious about making premium wine, they don’t take themselves too seriously- wine is a celebration and should be enjoyed in a non-complicated way. They believe that making wine requires profound respect for the entire process- from vineyard to bottle.

Private tastings and events are available either in their tasting room or in their vineyards and we welcome the opportunity of hosting your next function.

Bennett Valley Cellars began its journey from dream to reality some 60 years ago in the vineyards of the Veneto region in Italy.  Young Emilio Zanin eagerly worked in his grandfather’s vineyard before and after school, where he learned to love the hard work and passion necessary to make wine.  Having achieved the American dream after immigrating to the United States in 1969, Emilio and his family have now realized their life-long ambition of having their own vineyards from which to produce premium wine.

Nestled in the pristine Bennett Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area), Bennett Valley Cellars farms 45 acres of Estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.  Their well-drained alluvial (volcanic) soils and fog cooled climate combine to create an ideal growing environment for producing world class wines.  The end result is wine with flavors and aromatic characteristics unique to this beautiful Bennett Valley.
