Viansa Winery and Marketplace

Idyllically situated on a hilltop at the entrance to the legendary Sonoma Valley, Viansa Winery & Marketplace naturally embodies the proud history of local winemaking. With its distinctive Italian atmosphere and charming Old World architecture, Viansa Winery & Marketplace is a tribute to the early Italian immigrants who brought their winemaking traditions to Sonoma Valley. Surrounded by vineyards, flower gardens and olive groves, and modeled after the charming, centuries-old villas that dot the Tuscan landscape, the main winery building appears to have been magically transported from the Italian countryside. Painstakingly crafted from authentic materials and boasting signature details like hand-painted interior frescoes depicting peasant life in the Tuscan countryside, Viansa's Villa has the power to whisk visitors away to romantic Italy – if only for an hour or two. Meticulously landscaped grounds planted with imported Italian cypresses and stone pines, lovely terraces overlooking Sonoma Valley, and classic imported Italian statuary beautifully complete the picture. As in Italy, here at Viansa it is all about the marriage between great food, great wine and great people. It is the perfect spot to enjoy award-winning Sonoma wines (over 267 wine competition medals were won over the past 5 years and our wines are only available at the winery), Italian delicacies and the warmth and joy of our staff.
