About Meeker Winery

Meeker Winery is one of Geyserville's most characterful and genuinely fun tasting room experiences. Founded in 1984 by Charlie Meeker — who brought a maverick philosophy to Sonoma winemaking that prized personality over prestige — the winery is best known for the Handprint Merlot, whose label features actual handprints from everyone involved in making that vintage.

Expedia lists Meeker Winery among the recommended nearby attractions in the Geyserville area, alongside Trentadue and Pedroncelli. The Geyserville Avenue tasting room is one of the most relaxed and eccentric in the northern Dry Creek Valley corridor — walk-ins always welcome, dogs invited, and an atmosphere that feels more like visiting a friend's winery than a formal tasting experience.

Charlie Meeker's philosophy — that wine should be fun, creative, and accessible — shows in both the wines and the pricing. The Handprint Merlot has been made annually since 1984, and the lineup includes creative blends alongside more traditional varietals at prices that make experimentation easy.

At its Geyserville, Sonoma County location, Meeker Winery presents a featured lineup that includes Handprint Merlot, Gold Claim Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Big Score Red Blend. Together, these bottles provide a focused introduction to the varieties, vineyard sources, and style that define the winery's current portfolio.

"Geyserville's most eclectic tasting room — Handprint Merlot, creative blends, and a personality that reflects founder Charlie Meeker's belief that win"
