About Tin Barn Vineyards
Tin Barn Vineyards is a family-owned boutique winery in the warehouse-district cluster on the edge of Sonoma, bordering Carneros, where managing partner and winemaker Michael Lancaster has been making wine for more than twenty-five years. The name comes from the remote crossroads of King Ridge and Tin Barn roads high on the Sonoma Coast, home to the Coryelle Fields vineyard that supplied Tin Barn's very first grapes.
Lancaster built his custom small-lot winery here in 2005, in the same complex that launched names like Patz & Hall, Three Sticks and Bedrock, and the philosophy has stayed constant: single-vineyard wines that express the character of small, family-owned Sonoma and Carneros sites. The lineup spans Sauvignon Blanc, rose, Pinot Noir from Carneros' Ricci Vineyard, Zinfandel, Syrah and award-winning, classically styled Cabernet and Merlot from Sonoma Mountain's Pickberry Vineyard, all well-priced for the quality.
The tasting room sits right next to the working cellar: no grand facade or gift shop, just a passionate winemaker often pouring the wines himself.
