Cazadero Winery, founded in 2008, is one of Sonoma County’s most awarded micro wineries having garnered 167 Gold & Silver Medals as well as multiple Double Gold’s, a Triple Gold & Best of Class awards from local & international wine competitions since 2011.
Frank Egger’s grandfather, Eugene Egger, planted the original family vineyard out on Blue Jay, past Fine’s Mill off of Fort Ross Road, in the headwaters area of Cazadero’s Ward Creek in 1922 (Photo: the Egger Family in front of the family’s newly planted Cazadero vineyard).
All grapes for Cazadero Winery wines are handpicked with owner Frank Egger personally participating in most harvests since 2008. This Tuesday, October 17th, we’re picking both Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon on the same day.
Cazadero Winery wines are not blended, what you see on the label is what you get, 100% of that Single Vineyard Sonoma County varietal. We have been producing all natural, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and the Northern French Burgundian Pommard Clone 4 Pinot Noir since 2008.

Join Cazadero Winery at the 6th Annual Garagiste Festival!
Northern Exposure
April 27, 2024 – Sonoma, CA
THE SONOMA VETERANS’ MEMORIAL HALL
126 1st Street W, Sonoma, CA 95476
The popularity of our unique micro-winery events is skyrocketing! Our “Northern Exposure” Festival will showcase over 40 excellent, hard-to-find micro-wineries from all over Northern CA including Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lodi, Sierra Foothills and Livermore. There are no supermarket wines at the Garagiste Festival! Find out for yourself why we were named #1 Wine Festival in the Country by USA Today.
Over 90% of Northern Exposure participants do not have a tasting room – 90% percent! – so this is truly a singular chance to discover and meet the next great winemakers and get the opportunity to taste their amazing micro-production wines all under one roof. You won’t be able to duplicate this tasting experience at any other wine event.
In honor of Women’s History Month, we want to give a big shout out to all of the women winemakers participating with us next month in Sonoma! Every year we see more and more ladies joining the ranks in the wine business, especially as Garagistes where many of them are doing everything themselves from the vineyard picks to the bottle design.
Hopefully our events will continue to inspire the next generation of young women to follow their palates and passions into the winemaking field. If you’d like to taste them all at the same time, you should get your tickets to our Northern Exposure Festival. This is a rare opportunity to find them all in one place, all on one day!
