Est. Windsor, California
At Barnwell Vineyards, we don't cut corners. Our sourdough ferments 48 hours. Our pastries are folded by hand each morning. Our wines come from vines we tend ourselves. This is what happens when patience is the recipe.
Our Story
Barnwell Vineyards started with a simple conviction: if you're going to bake bread and pour wine, do it the way that takes time. Not the shortcut. The version that requires early mornings, patient fermentation, and vines that get properly tended season after season.
Located along River Road in Windsor, our bakery and vineyard sit side by side because we believe these two crafts share the same DNA — attention to detail, respect for ingredients, and a refusal to rush what shouldn't be rushed.
Every sourdough loaf begins with our starter, cultivated and maintained for years. Every pastry is folded, shaped, and baked the same morning it reaches your hands. Every bottle of wine carries the character of the soil and climate it grew in. That's the standard we hold ourselves to — every single day.
From the Bakery
Each item is made from scratch, in small batches, using traditional techniques and the finest local ingredients. Nothing pre-made. Nothing rushed.
Our signature 48-hour fermented sourdough. Crisp, caramelized crust with a tangy, open crumb. Baked fresh every morning.
Seven layers of French butter, folded by hand each morning. Shatteringly flaky outside, tender and honeycombed within.
Rotating selections based on what's ripe and in season. From stone fruit galettes to fig and almond tarts — whatever the week demands.
Long, slender, and deeply flavored. Our baguettes feature a glossy, crackling crust and a soft, aromatic interior — perfect for any meal.
Dense, nutritious, and deeply satisfying. Made with locally milled whole grains and a blend of sunflower, flax, and sesame seeds.
Tarts, cakes, and seasonal sweets crafted daily. Ask about today's selection — it changes with the calendar and our inspiration.
From the Vineyard
Our estate vineyard produces small-lot wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Russian River Valley. We prune, canopy-manage, and harvest by hand — because the best wine starts in the vine, not the lab.
At the tasting room, you'll find a rotating selection of our current releases alongside seasonal offerings. Pair a glass with a fresh pastry from the bakery — that's the Barnwell experience.
