Owner description:
Anaba’s name originates from cool, upward-flowing anabatic winds that soar and swirl through its sustainably-farmed Carneros Estate vineyards of Sonoma. Anaba became the first winery in Northern California to utilize wind power when it installed a 45-foot wind turbine to harness these winds and generate electricity for the property including the Anaba tasting room, a quaint 100-year-old farmhouse. Taste award-winning Rhône and Burundian style wines in an intimate and unpretentious atmosphere at Anaba Wines.estate vineyards!

Owner description:
We are located down a narrow alleyway off the Sonoma Plaza, often missed by the casual passerby. Opening from a sunny courtyard with a gurgling fountain, our Salon is like a good friend's living room, with chill tunes playing in the background. We make artisanal Pinot Noir and reds from Rhône varieties. Our wines are more mature and complex than most. Come enjoy a unique sensory experience that makes you feel right at home.
