2023 SONOMA COUNTY BARREL AUCTION VENUES

Thank you to our generous Sonoma County Barrel Auction venues MacMurray Estate Vineyards and Bacchus Landing.

MacMurray Estate Vineyards

Sonoma County Barrel Auction Venue

MacMurray Estate Vineyards is the Sonoma County Barrel Auction venue for auction day. With vineyards in California’s most sought-after Pinot Noir regions, MacMurray Estate Vineyards is synonymous with one of the world’s most celebrated grape varieties. We grow our grapes where Pinot Noir thrives — in the Russian River Valley and the Central Coast. By carefully tending to each vineyard block and making discerning choices in the cellar, we create wines that reflect the unique terroir of each estate vineyard while showcasing the elegant flavors of the delicate Pinot Noir grape. Our namesake in the Russian River Valley, the 1,500-acre MacMurray Ranch, has a rich farming history that stretches back to the early 1850s. In 1941, actor Fred MacMurray bought the ranch as an idyllic family retreat and cattle ranch. In 1996, MacMurray Ranch was transformed to include a world-class vineyard with 450 acres of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris vines, ushering in a new era for the legendary Sonoma County property. Learn more at MacMurrayEstateVineyards.com.

Bacchus Landing

Sonoma County Barrel Auction Preview Event Venue

Bacchus Landing is the Sonoma County Barrel Auction venue for the preview event. Founded by siblings Monica and Francisco Lopez, along with their parents Al and Dina, Bacchus Landing is a curated collective of wineries representing a diverse spectrum of grape varieties and winemaking styles. It is located in the heart of Healdsburg at the crossroads of three of Sonoma County’s premier wine regions. Designed to reflect the Lopez family’s deep-seated passion for hosting family and friends, Bacchus Landing welcomes guests to come and stay the day, offering a relaxing escape from everyday life. The three-acre property boasts five spacious, open-air tasting rooms, an artisanal food market serving local wine-friendly bites, a more casual green space with picnic tables and bocce courts, a central piazza with café tables, a full commercial kitchen, and a variety of spaces for corporate meetings and events.

Each year, the sonomacountyvintners Sonoma County Barrel Auction selects icons who have shaped the heritage and history of Sonoma County winemaking. We are honored that this year, our Winemaster Randy Ullom was selected for his legendary 29 years at Kendall-Jackson. Known as a pioneer in the California Chardonnay movement, Randy's success stems from his deep-rooted passion for winemaking, hard work, and dedication. Being recognized as one of this year's Sonoma County Icons reaffirms his status as a legend in Sonoma County winemaking. 💛 #SoCoBA

Audrey Sterling’s birthday celebration continued as we gathered yesterday at the fabled MacMurray Estate to honor Icons and Innovators of Sonoma County’s wine industry for the Sonoma County Barrel Auction.  Welcoming us was my friend Kate MacMurray who many years ago attended her first Sonoma County wine auction as my date.

Audrey was recognized as an Icon of the Sonoma County wine industry along with Randy Ullom of Kendall-Jackson and Innovators Benzinger Family Winery and  Ames Morison of Medlock Ames Winery. David Ramey was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award. 

Capping off the celebration was a Congressional Recognition presented to Audrey by Congressman Jared Huffman and Congressman Mike Thompson. #socoba #sonomacountyvintners #sonomacountybarrelauction #winecountry #icon #ironhorsevineyards
