There is something for everyone at Graton Ridge Cellars. A large selection of various wines from the lush Russian River Valley await in the tasting room, ready to be enjoyed.
Since 1945, the Paul family has been inviting guests to drink in a bit of the world-renowned Russian River Valley. This family-owned and operated winery originally stood as an apple farm supplying annual visitors with fresh apple juice and bins of Sonoma County's famous Gravenstein apple. Eventually, a passion for fine handcrafted wines exchanged apple crops for grape seedlings and Graton Ridge Cellars was born. Through the efforts of Art and Barbara Paul, their daughters Sue and Kris, Tasting Room Manager Greg Paulsen, and Winemaker Nick Legg, this rustic apple farm stand has transformed into a modern facility producing outstanding, award-winning wines.
Graton Ridge Cellars aims to extend their family sentiment to all their guests. In the tasting room, Greg makes it his personal mission to ensure that all visitors are provided a truly exceptional experience.

| Tastings offer more than ten different wine styles. However, quantity does not diminish quality. Backed with more than 15 years of progressive achievement in winemaking, Nick has applied his considerable skills to give the Graton Ridge wines their distinctive and notable character. Cellar tours and barrel tastings are offered whenever possible.
Never losing sight of their history of more than 65 years of family farming, Graton Ridge Cellars produces the very impressive A+ Apple Dessert Wine. Derived from local Sebastopol apples, this Gold Medal Grand Harvest winner is simply delicious drizzled over lemon pound cake or ice cream.
The unimaginable beauty of Sonoma County's Russian River Valley has become a little more tangible through the wines of Graton Ridge Cellars.
