About Paul Hobbs Winery

Paul Hobbs is one of the most internationally recognized figures in wine. Known as the 'Wine Whisperer,' he has served as a consulting winemaker for over 20 wineries on four continents — including Viña Cobos in Argentina, which he helped transform into one of South America's finest estates, and wineries in France, Austria, and Georgia.

His own Sebastopol winery, founded in 1991, produces some of California's most celebrated single-vineyard Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast sites. The Goldrock Estate Pinot Noir and the Richard Dinner Chardonnay are among the most collected and sought-after California wines of their type.

The tasting experience at Paul Hobbs is intimate, educational, and reflects the global perspective of a winemaker who has worked in virtually every major wine region on earth. By appointment only, the visits are focused and deeply personal — connecting visitors directly to Hobbs's extraordinary wine philosophy.

At its Sebastopol, Sonoma County location, Paul Hobbs Winery presents a featured lineup that includes Goldrock Estate Pinot Noir, Richard Dinner Vineyard Chardonnay, Cuvée Agustina Pinot Noir, and Russian River Valley Chardonnay. Together, these bottles provide a focused introduction to the varieties, vineyard sources, and style that define the winery's current portfolio.

"The 'Wine Whisperer' — consulting winemaker for 20+ wineries worldwide, Paul Hobbs makes California's most internationally celebrated single-vineyard "
