Papapietro Perry Winery

Located in the heart of Sonoma County’s renowned Dry Creek Valley, Papapietro Perry Winery is celebrated for its small-lot, handcrafted wines that capture the essence of each vineyard. Specializing in single-vineyard designate Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, and Rosé of Pinot Noir, the winery has built its reputation on authenticity, consistency, and commitment to quality.

Founded by Ben and Yolanda Papapietro alongside Bruce and Renae Perry, the winery’s origins trace back to a San Francisco garage—where a shared passion for winemaking, friendship, and a love of great wine gave rise to something extraordinary. Inspired by the garagiste movement in Bordeaux, the team crafted their first Pinot Noirs for fun and friendship, quickly gaining recognition from Wine Spectator and other esteemed publications. By 2000, Papapietro Perry Winery had officially made its mark on the Sonoma wine scene.

Today, the winery remains true to its roots, embracing a minimalist winemaking philosophy that allows the fruit to express its unique character. Every detail—from cold soaking the grapes to careful barrel selection using François Frères oak—is meticulously overseen to ensure the wines reflect the nuances of each growing season. With vineyard sources such as Peters Vineyard and Leras Family Vineyards, each bottle tells the story of its terroir through balance, elegance, and depth.

Visitors to Papapietro Perry Winery are welcomed with the same warmth that defined its early days. The atmosphere is inviting and unpretentious—just great wine, good food, and genuine hospitality. After nearly four decades, the guiding principle remains unchanged: to craft exceptional wines that celebrate Sonoma County’s finest vineyards while keeping the experience lighthearted and memorable.
