About Pedroncelli Winery
Pedroncelli Winery is one of the Dry Creek Valley's most historically significant and genuinely beloved family estates. John Pedroncelli Sr. an Italian immigrant who saw the potential of the Dry Creek Valley before almost anyone else, purchased the Canyon Road property in 1927, just four years before Prohibition ended, and planted the Zinfandel vines that have been the estate's foundation for nearly a century.
Third-generation family members Jim and John Pedroncelli have maintained the winery with the same philosophy that defined their grandfather's original vision: honest, affordable wines of genuine quality that reflect the true character of the Dry Creek Valley without pretension or premium pricing. The Pedroncelli Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay consistently earn 88-92 point reviews at price points that represent some of the best value for quality available anywhere in Sonoma County.
The Canyon Road tasting room, open daily with walk-in access, picnic grounds, and vineyard views, has been welcoming visitors for decades. The combination of 97-year family heritage, honest quality, and genuinely affordable pricing makes Pedroncelli one of the most lovable and consistently satisfying winery experiences in the Dry Creek Valley. It is, in the truest sense, the anti-pretension Sonoma County estate.
Featured in Wine Spectator's September 2026 Sonoma Tasting Highlights, a roundup scoring up to 93 points. The Mother Clone Zinfandel traces to plantings established in the late 1800s and largely replanted in the 1980s using budwood taken from those original vines, which is where the name comes from.
