About Donelan Wines
Donelan Wines is a private, appointment-only tasting experience at a working Santa Rosa winery. It is best suited for serious wine drinkers who want time, context and a guided look at Sonoma County artisanal production.
The winery’s own visitor information describes a 75-minute Signature Wine Tasting at $65 per person with a tour of the production facility and a flight of five wines. Donelan also promotes a 98+ Point Wine Tasting for devoted fine-wine guests at $105 per person.
The program is especially strong for Rhône-inspired wines, including Syrah, Grenache and Roussanne, while also touching Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Sonoma and nearby appellations.
