About Soda Rock Winery
Soda Rock Winery occupies one of Alexander Valley's most historically significant structures. The 1869 general store that anchors the property served the Alexander Valley community for over a century, providing supplies, gathering space, and community connection to the farming families who established the valley's agricultural character before wine became its dominant industry. When Ken Wilson of Wilson Artisan Wineries acquired and restored the building, he preserved that community spirit in the winery's atmosphere.
Sonoma County Tourism specifically highlights Soda Rock as one of the 'notable wineries' of the Alexander Valley, singling it out alongside Medlock Ames, Robert Young, and Francis Ford Coppola as a defining estate experience. The 40-acre estate surrounding the historic building produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Rosé in the approachable, food-friendly style that Ken Wilson's portfolio consistently achieves.
The daily walk-in tasting experience, dogs welcome, families comfortable, picnic grounds available on the estate, makes Soda Rock one of the most genuinely accessible and atmospherically distinctive destination wineries on Highway 128. The combination of genuine historical character, warm community-oriented hospitality, and honest estate wine quality makes a visit to Soda Rock feel like discovering what Alexander Valley wine country looked like before it became famous.
