Our Story

A Legacy Rooted in the Sonoma Soil

Since 1896, the St Francis name has been synonymous with exceptional Sonoma Valley wines. What began as a small family vineyard has blossomed into one of the region's most respected wineries β€” yet our philosophy remains beautifully simple: let the land speak through every bottle.

Nestled along California State Route 12 in Kenwood, our estate sits at the crossroads of two renowned appellations β€” the Russian River Valley and the Diamond Mountain District. This unique terroir, with its morning marine layers and warm afternoon sunshine, produces grapes of extraordinary concentration and balance.
