About Solitary Cellars Wine Company
Solitary Cellars is Fresno County's most talked-about winery, founded in 2013 by two working correctional lieutenants and leaning all the way into the theme with cell block decor and wines named for sentencing and parole. It has been voted Best Winery in Central California multiple years running, with fruit sourced from Lodi, Amador, Los Carneros, Napa and other regions and a tasting lounge steps from the San Joaquin River in Friant.
Seated tastings come with vineyard and foothill views, charcuterie and frequent live music, an easy stop on the way toward Yosemite. California's smaller wine pockets reward the detour with personal, uncrowded tastings. Confirm current hours, tasting fees and reservation policies with the winery before you go.
Two corrections lieutenants, one repeat Best of Central California winery, right on the road to Yosemite.
