About Talisman Wines
Talisman Wines is Glen Ellen's most respected single-vineyard Pinot Noir producer. Expedia travel guides specifically list Talisman alongside B.R. Cohn Winery and the Quarryhill Botanical Garden as one of the notable nearby wine attractions in the Glen Ellen area, making it a natural stop on any Sonoma Valley exploration that includes the valley's southern wine village.
Founded in 1999, Talisman produces multiple single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from sites across the Sonoma Valley, focusing on the specific terroir differences between individual blocks rather than the broad appellation character. The wines consistently earn 90–95 point recognition and represent some of the finest Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir produced outside of the more famous Russian River Valley corridor.
The appointment-only tasting format ensures genuinely personalized visits, the Talisman team is deeply knowledgeable about each vineyard site and the wines that result from them.
At its Glen Ellen, Sonoma County location, Talisman Wines presents a featured lineup that includes Olivet Road Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. Together, these bottles provide a focused introduction to the varieties, vineyard sources, and style that define the winery's current portfolio.
