About Kenwood Vineyards
Kenwood Vineyards is a historically important Sonoma Valley wine brand founded in 1970 at the former Pagani Bros. site. As of the latest public reporting, the tasting room has closed and the future of the property and brand hospitality is uncertain.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported in March 2026 that the nearly 33-acre property at 9592 Sonoma Highway had been sold to an entity led by Gary Heck, owner of F. Korbel & Bros., and that Pernod Ricard had filed a WARN notice describing a total closure and permanent plant closing effective March 31. The same reporting noted that public listings described the tasting room as temporarily closed.
This page is intentionally written as a status-aware listing. It should remain on WinoNotion because users will search for Kenwood, but the CTA should send visitors to check direct before planning a visit.
