"It's the first winery in Sonoma Valley that you encounter," said architect Scott Bartley, AIA, of Hall & Bartley, Architecture and Planning in Santa Rosa, CA. "It's the old site where the welcome sign for the Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce formerly stood. The actual winery is about a quarter of a mile away. [The building] is the hospitality center with the tasting room, commercial kitchen and banquet facility."
While the exterior of the building is clad in stucco with a clay roof, a significant amount of fieldstone was also used for the project. The applications included a number of garden walls, a foot bridge along a seasonal creek leading to the main entrance, a large entry gate and a dry stacked stonewall, which wraps around the entire perimeter of the property.
