About Passalacqua Winery
Passalacqua Winery occupies one of the most spectacular hilltop positions in Dry Creek Valley — a Lambert Bridge Road estate with 360-degree views that stretch across the entire valley to the Alexander Valley hills and coastal range beyond. The Italian-American Passalacqua family has farmed this hillside since 1985, producing estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, and Barbera with a philosophy rooted in their Northern Italian heritage.
The estate has been featured on the Wine Road and is a member of the Sonoma County Vintners collective — producing wines that genuinely reflect the hilltop microclimate's unusual combination of warm days and cool coastal nights. The Zinfandel and Sangiovese are particularly noteworthy — made from old hillside vines that produce wines of concentrated complexity.
The by-appointment tasting experience is warm and personalized — reflecting the family's decades-long commitment to direct visitor connections rather than the anonymity of walk-in volume.
