Gundlach Bundschu Winery

Affectionately known as "Gun-Bun" by locals, this sixth-generation family winery is the oldest continuously family-owned winery in California, dating back to 1858. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Mayacamas Mountains, the estate offers one of Sonoma's most beautiful tasting experiences. The winery produces an impressive range of wines including Gewürztraminer, Tempranillo, and their signature Rhinefarm Vineyard Cabernet. But beyond the wines, Gun-Bun is known for its vibrant personality—from hosting outdoor concerts and movie nights to maintaining hiking trails through the vineyards. For guests at Sonoma Grove Suites, the short drive to Gun-Bun opens up a full day of activities. Start with a tasting, then explore the hiking trails with views of the valley below. The picnic areas are among the best in Sonoma, perfect for pairing a bottle with local cheese and charcuterie. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about sharing the family's history and wines.
