Sonoma is the birthplace of wine in California. It was here that Franciscan fathers first planted grapevines at the Sonoma Mission over 150 years ago. In the early 1900s, Italian families left their homeland and settled in Sonoma Valley because the gently rolling hills and mild mediterranean climate reminded them so much of Italy. Clinging to their native traditions, these immigrants soon planted vineyards and began making wine much like their ancestors had before them; thus a New World winemaking tradition was born.

In 1989, members of the Sebastiani family, Sonoma’s earliest Italian winemakers, created Viansa to share their love of good food, wine, and Italian heritage with visitors from around the world. Though the winery’s ownership has changed hands over the years, Viansa continues its dedication to Italian-inspired wines and foods, offering visitors a taste of Tuscany in the Sonoma Valley. Today, Viansa is proud to be the premier producer of Italian varietals in the United States!

Idyllically situated on a hilltop at the entrance to the legendary Sonoma Valley, Viansa Winery & Marketplace naturally embodies the proud history of local winemaking. With its distinctive Italian atmosphere and charming Old World architecture, Viansa Winery & Marketplace is a tribute to the early Italian immigrants who brought their winemaking traditions to Sonoma Valley.

Surrounded by vineyards, flower gardens and olive groves, and modeled after the charming, centuries-old villas that dot the Tuscan landscape, the main winery building appears to have been magically transported from the Italian countryside. Painstakingly crafted from authentic materials and boasting signature details like hand-painted interior frescoes depicting peasant life in the Tuscan countryside, Viansa’s Villa has the power to whisk visitors away to romantic Italy – if only for an hour or two. Meticulously landscaped grounds planted with imported Italian cypresses and stone pines, lovely terraces overlooking Sonoma Valley, and classic imported Italian statuary beautifully complete the picture.
