Ram’s Gate Winery
Located just off Highway 121, Ram’s Gate is the first winery on the way to Sonoma from San Francisco. Designed by renowned architect Howard Backen, the tasting room embodies a modern reinterpretation of the weathered farmsteads of old Carneros. The winery offers a variety of tasting experiences, from casual wine tastings to elaborate five-course meals, developed by the talented culinary team. The flagship tasting at Ram’s Gate is the Seasonal Wine & Food Experience, which begins with a tour focused on Ram’s Gate’s estate farming techniques and the winemaking process, followed by a five-course seated wine and food pairing. Each wine is hand-selected by Winemaker and General Manager Joe Nielsen and specifically paired with seasonal food courses created by Executive Chef Ruby Oliveros.
