About Amapola Creek Vineyards & Winery
Amapola Creek Vineyards & Winery is a small, artisanal winery on Moon Mountain, above Sonoma Valley in Sonoma County. It was founded by legendary winemaker Richard Arrowood, who made his name crafting single-vineyard wines at Chateau St. Jean from 1974 and later founded his namesake Arrowood Winery; Amapola Creek was his estate project on a roughly 100-acre property in what became the Moon Mountain District AVA, established in 2013.
Since 2019 to 2020 the winery has been owned by neighbor Brion Wise of B. Wise Vineyards, who continues Arrowood's legacy. The organically farmed estate, long tended by master vineyardist Phil Coturri, sits on red iron-oxide soils next to the acclaimed Monte Rosso Vineyard and produces estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Syrah, Grenache, Petite Sirah and Rhone-style red blends.
Amapola Creek is a small-production, visit-by-inquiry winery, with a tasting lounge in Kenwood and an estate lodge on Moon Mountain. Because production is limited and visits are arranged in advance, it is best to book through the winery and confirm current tasting options before arriving.
