Piper Sonoma

Piper Sonoma has been making world class sparkling wines in Sonoma County for over 30 years from grapes ripened to perfection by the warm Sonoma sun. Made in the Traditional Method, our wines are dry and smooth with a rich creamy texture. Piper Sonoma wines are delicious on their own and are also the perfect foundation for memorable mimosas and other classic cocktails.

Our grape growers are all passionate about land stewardship and sustainable farming practices which will benefit generations to come. Our winemaking is 100% natural with no artificial or GMO ingredients used in the making of our wines and all our packaging materials are 100% recyclable. We are proud of our history and our work with our grape growing partners and their focus on environmentally conscious and sustainable farming in our community.
