This team likes to walk and we have not
done enough of it lately. You can tell in that even a half a mile
walk to the winery is tiring. Of course, it may have something to do
with having travelled to three different locations already and Sonoma
is our fourth. But we walk to the Sebastiani Winery. Having worked at
a winery for a couple of years, Thing One does appreciate how the
making of wine is an art, one which Sebastiani has been doing for
over a century. As note, in 2008 the Sebastiani Family sold the
winery and its vineyards to Foley Wine, Inc.
NO. 739 VINEYARD AND WINERY (SAN FRANCISCO SOLANO MISSION VINEYARD) - Here the Franciscan Fathers of San Francisco Solano de Sonoma Mission produced sacramental wine from the first vineyard in Sonoma Valley, planted in 1825. After secularization of the mission in 1835, General Mariano G. Vallejo, Commandant of Alta California's northern frontier, produced prize-winning wines from these grapes. A young immigrant from Italy, Samuele Sebastiani, with his wife Elvira, purchased this property in the early 1900s. Since that time, he and his family have continued with distinction the traditions handed down to them. Much of the original mission vineyard is still planted to choice wine grapes.
