Imagine you are visiting and staying in the town of Sonoma, as many do. You take the drive up California Scenic Highway 12 through Sonoma Valley. You'll pass several landmark wineries like Chateau St. Jean, St. Francis, and Ledson. What you'll miss are smaller ones, often off the main road. The Sonoma Valley Small Wineries Collective would like to rectify that.

These operations are clustered around the villages of Glen Ellen and Kenwood. A couple of the small ones you may have heard of are Ty Caton and Muscardini. But you have not heard of most of these unless you live in the neighborhood.
There are other small wineries that aren't part of this group that shares outreach and other marketing. A couple examples are the aptly named Little Vineyards and Wellington Cellars. There are 80 wineries in Sonoma Valley, most are quite small.
Give some of them a try!
