Good to Know
This certified organic estate is celebrated for its historic Zinfandel vines and intimate, winemaker-led ranch tours and tastings.
The winery is located at the secluded end of South Whitehall Lane.
The property is a working farm where sheep and guinea fowl roam the vineyards as a natural fertilization team.
Why Visit Tres Sabores?
You have to visit for the atmosphere; it feels like stepping onto a friend’s working ranch rather than a corporate tasting room. Meet the winery dogs, watch the sheep graze, and enjoy some of the most expressive, terroir-driven Zinfandel in the valley.
"Tres Sabores Vineyard made our first vineyard visit in the U.S. truly unforgettable. Visiting with our 5-year-old can sometimes be a bit unpredictable, but this place made it feel effortless. Everyone was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely welcoming. The animals were a big hit with our son and added such a fun, unique touch. The wine selection was amazing, we loved it so much we took a couple of bottles home with us. You can tell there’s so much care and passion behind each bottle. A special thank you to Sarah, who was attentive, and made us feel so comfortable throughout. And Julie, the owner, was wonderful and clearly dedicated to creating such a special place. A perfect first vineyard experience in the U.S., especially for families looking for something welcoming and a little different."
