About Wilson Winery

Wilson Winery is one of Dry Creek Valley's most consistently recommended and genuinely welcoming mid-size producers. Founded in 1993 by Ken and Diane Wilson — who have farmed biodynamically since the early years — the winery produces Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah from their estate and sourced Dry Creek Valley vineyards with a philosophy of honest farming and honest pricing.

Ken Wilson's background as a scientist informs the meticulous biodynamic farming approach — cover crops, compost, predator insects, and the whole biodynamic ecosystem managed with the rigor of someone who takes soil science seriously. The results are wines that consistently over-deliver at their price point.

Expedia and travel platforms specifically list Wilson Winery among the notable tasting destinations in the Healdsburg area, alongside better-known neighbors. The Dry Creek Road setting with valley views, picnic grounds, and dog-friendly policy makes Wilson one of the most reliably pleasant afternoon stops in the corridor.

Wilson Winery presents a featured lineup that includes Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, and Grenache. Together, these bottles provide a focused introduction to the varieties, vineyard sources, and style that define the winery's current portfolio.

"Ken and Diane Wilson's Dry Creek Valley institution — biodynamic old-vine Zinfandel, welcoming hospitality, and one of the most consistently excellent"
