Fodor's Expert Review Gundlach Bundschu

Sonoma Winery

"Gun lock bun shoe" gets you close to pronouncing this winery's name correctly, though everyone here shortens it to Gun Bun. The Bundschu family, which has owned most of this property since 1858, still uses parts of an 1870 stone winery for production. Reds from estate grapes include Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and the Bordeaux-style Mountain Cuvée containing each vintage's best fruit. Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, and two rosés are also in the mix. You can sample five estate wines in a courtyard with views of vineyards and a pond. For a more comprehensive experience, book a Pinzgauer vehicle vineyard tour or a Heritage Reserve pairing of limited-release old-vine wines. All visits are by appointment only, with same-day tastings often possible.
