Kunde Estate Winery (Cave Tour & Taste)
Since 1904, four generations of Kundes have lived, worked and produced grapes on the same property in the Sonoma Valley. Founder Louis Kunde immigrated to California from Germany in 1884, and in 1904 he bought Wildwood Vineyards, which had first been planted in 1879. The present Kunde family ranch in Kenwood encompasses 2,000 acres and stretches for a mile and a half along the Sonoma Highway and extends from the valley floor, sloping up into the mountains. The Kunde family recently built a new winery on the site of an historic old barn, imitating the barn's style. To age their wine, the Kunde's created more than 32,000 feet of tunnels in the hillside directly behind the winery, providing and ideal environment for storing wine naturally. At the farthest reaches of the tunnels, a spacious tasting room has been carved into the rock. Furnished with huge tables and benches - handcrafted of timbers saved from the original old barn - the room is surrounded by scenic vineyards that slope down to the picnic grounds, where tasters can enjoy a picnic lunch.
