The basics
Inspired by his teenage years spent in the vines with his grandfather Valeriano Jacuzzi, owner Fred Cline opened his family-run winery in homage to his late grandfather in 2007. The resulting winery, its vino, and overall wine tasting experience are heavily influenced by Italian culture. In fact, the winery makes several Italian wine varietals—including Barbera, Pinot Grigio, and Sangiovese; all of which can be sipped in the elegant and airy barrel room. While the grapes might be old school—Jacuzzi is not; the winery is making huge strides in its sustainable growing and winemaking practices. It refrains from using pesticides—and instead—uses more creative forms of pest control such as sheep. Plus, they’re a 100 percent solar-powered winery.
Things to know before you go
- You must be 21 years or older to go wine tasting.
- Jacuzzi is generous with both its food and wine tastings.
- Ask about their specialty; a chocolate cup filled with Pinot Noir.
- Book a private tour and tasting in advance to guarantee a spot.
How to get there
If you’re traveling from San Francisco by car, take US-101 north (crossing the Golden Gate Bridge) before connecting to CA-37 east. The winery is conveniently located right off of CA-121, north on Arnold Drive in Sonoma. If you are looking for a designated driver, some tasting tours allow you to customize your tasting itinerary with a chauffeur.
