Our Story
“Life is but a sojourn. Enjoy the best of it.” — Plato
Who Is Sojourn Cellars
Sojourn Cellars produces highly acclaimed Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. We source fruit from celebrated vineyards in both Sonoma and Napa counties, where we work closely with vineyard owners who use world-class growing methods for cultivating grapes of the highest quality. Our hands-off winemaking style allows the character and personality of these special vineyard sites to shine through in the finished wines.
At Sojourn, every single decision we make, every vineyard we work with, every person on our small team, and every hour spent in the winery is done to deliver an extraordinary experience to our customers. We love sharing our wines through the approachable and memorable tasting experiences in our Tasting Salon in Sonoma, as well as sharing our wines with our loyal mailing list members, at our events and in our homes. There’s little in life that surpasses a shared experience with others over a very special glass of wine. In everything we do, our goal is to deliver uniquely memorable wine sojourns.
History
Sojourn Cellars began in 2001 as a collaboration between two tennis friends–Craig Haserot and Erich Bradley–who shared a passion for two things: great wine and tennis. With Erich’s experience as an Assistant Winemaker at Arrowood Winery, the two developed a plan to produce small bottlings of Cabernet Sauvignon from extraordinary vineyard sources. We started with just over a hundred cases of Cabernet Sauvignon that we sold to our friends and family. Over the next 10 years, we have earned critical acclaim. Today we produce 21 unique wines and have customers worldwide. What began as a personal journey has evolved into a first-class boutique winery that crafts high-quality artisan Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Our wines are sold on allocation to mailing list members and a select group of restaurants, retailers and distribution partners.
Our Passion for Wine
Our deepest love is wine. It has become the principal player in our lives as we experience this journey, and has given us the knowledge and experience to create a wine that is uniquely Sojourn.
Our entire Sojourn team is passionate about producing and sharing exceptional wines from California’s finest vineyards. From the selection and management of vineyard sites, through the hands-off winemaking methods that showcase the character and personality of the fruit, to the welcoming hospitality of the Tasting Salon and ease of ordering online, Sojourn Cellars is committed to the best expression of everything wine country has to offer.
We have created a buying experience that ensures the accessibility and authenticity of our extraordinary wines, and warm hospitality that has become a trademark of everything we do. We are committed to sharing memorably luxurious wines with our customers.
