About Wellington Cellars
Wellington Cellars is the Sonoma Valley's most warmly welcoming and family-spirited small estate. Peter Wellington — who has been producing small-lot Sonoma Valley wines since 1994 from the Glen Ellen estate — has built a weekend tasting experience that visitors describe with a consistency that is remarkable for a small producer: warm, personal, unpretentious, and entirely focused on ensuring that every visitor leaves with a genuine connection to the wine and the winemaker.
The wine program focuses on the Sonoma Valley's most expressive red varieties — Syrah, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc — from sourced and estate Sonoma County vineyards. Peter's particular passion for Syrah — expressed in multiple single-vineyard expressions from the coolest and warmest Sonoma County sites — has built a devoted following among wine lovers who appreciate what the variety can achieve in California's most diverse Mediterranean-climate wine corridor.
The Dunbar Road tasting room with picnic grounds and valley views, honest pricing at $15 per tasting, and the family-friendly weekend walk-in format make Wellington Cellars one of the most consistently recommended small-producer discoveries in the Kenwood/Glen Ellen wine corridor.
