About Sequoia Grove Winery

Sequoia Grove Winery is set among large redwood trees on Highway 29 near Rutherford. The grove and garden patio give the property a calm, shaded character, while the tasting program focuses heavily on Cabernet Sauvignon, single-vineyard wines and the relationship between wine and food. The winery offers more culinary depth than its compact roadside setting initially suggests.

Guests can begin with an introductory portfolio tasting, move into winemaker or single-vineyard selections, or reserve a food-focused experience built around Cabernet Sauvignon. The culinary program is designed to demonstrate how salt, acid, sweetness and texture can change the way a wine tastes. Current menus and wines vary, and the winery does not operate a public restaurant.

Reservations are required Wednesday through Monday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with the final seating at 3:30 p.m. Most visits last 60 to 90 minutes. Options include garden patio tastings, elevated flights, small-bite pairings and multi-course food experiences. Standard party sizes are limited, and groups should use the correct reservation channel.

The redwood grove and garden patio provide a comfortable outdoor setting in mild weather. Every visitor must be at least 21 years old. Well-behaved leashed pets can join ordinary outdoor tastings, but only service animals are allowed in wine-and-food experiences. That distinction is important for guests traveling with a dog.

Sequoia Grove is a strong fit for Cabernet enthusiasts, adult couples and food-focused travelers. Choose the patio tasting for a relaxed visit or reserve the culinary program when food education is the priority. Confirm the chef, menu, pet rules and duration before booking, since the official site can display several overlapping food experiences.

What Wino Notion Loved
Visit pending, based on winery profile & reputation
Founded by an AVA pioneer,Jim Allen helped establish the Rutherford AVA itself before planting Sequoia Grove's own vineyard in 1979.
A 1908 barn turned tasting room,shaded by the same Giant Sequoia trees planted that year, gives the estate its name and its distinctive tasting setting.
Rutherford Dust across multiple sites,long-standing grower relationships at Stagecoach, Morisoli, and Lamoreaux Vineyards let Sequoia Grove show Rutherford's famous character from several distinct plots.
"Wino Notion likes that Sequoia Grove uses food to explain Cabernet rather than treating pairings as decorative extras. The redwood setting adds a relaxed visual identity to a serious wine program."
