About Dunstan Wines

Dunstan Wines is a dedicated estate winery in the expansive, cool, maritime Sonoma Coast AVA facing the Pacific Ocean, producing wines that reflect the character of diverse coastal soils and persistent marine influence. Dunstan Wines is Steve Clifton's personal label — named for Saint Dunstan of Canterbury, the 10th-century English archbi. The estate's commitment to quality viticulture and site-specific winemaking has earned Dunstan Wines a respected place among the region's most consistent and genuinely food-friendly producers.

The Sonoma Coast growing environment shapes everything Dunstan Wines produces. Diverse coastal soils and persistent marine influence define the estate's vineyard character, contributing the structure, natural acidity, and terroir specificity that distinguish the finest wines from this appellation. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay form the backbone of the portfolio, with each variety expressing a distinct facet of the estate's unique growing conditions. Winemaking at Dunstan Wines prioritizes transparency and balance over extraction, allowing the appellation's natural character to lead rather than winemaker intervention.

Visitors to Dunstan Wines can expect a genuine and unhurried tasting experience that reflects the estate's commitment to quality and hospitality. The tasting room provides an authentic introduction to the estate wines and the Sonoma Coast appellation. Whether visiting for a focused flight or a deeper exploration of the estate's vineyard programs, Dunstan Wines offers the kind of direct producer experience that wine tourism in California wine country is built on — knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely connected to the land and the wines it produces.
