100 Years of the Sonoma Coast in Every Bottle

The most awarded micro-winery in Sonoma County

A true mom-and-pop, by choice.

Cazadero Winery is two people, a little over a thousand cases, and one wild stretch of the Sonoma Coast. Frank and Ronita Egger make the wine the old way — by hand, from grapes grown on the fog-line — with no distributor and no wine rep, nothing standing between the coast and the bottle.

Every wine is 100% varietal and single-vineyard — never blended. Native wild yeast, French oak, the Cabernet foot-stomped, the reds left unfined and unfiltered. Cazadero wine is rare, changing with each season, because the coast does too.

And it's grown in partnership with nature, not against it — barn owls on watch and sheep in the rows, nothing added that nature didn't approve of. Frank and Ronita run it together, with winemaker Ashley Herzberg in the cellar since 2017 — a family operation, start to finish.

We do it all ourselves.Frank Egger, Founder · Cazadero Winery

An adventure, a family, and a coast that felt like home.

Frank and Ronita Egger didn’t inherit a winery. They inherited a story. In 1918 the Eggers crossed the Golden Gate by ferry named "Cazadero"— before the bridge was built. They rode the rails north through Fairfax and along Tomales Bay to the redwoods and fog at the end of the line. They planted the first vines in 1922, lost the ranch to the Depression, and 108 years later Frank and Ronita revived the dream, building Cazadero Winery from scratch. Every bottle begins here.

Across the bay

In 1918 the family crossed from San Francisco by ferry on a boat named ‘Cazadero’ — years before the bridge, bound for California’s North Coast.

The current release

Because when the grapes are this good, the wine speaks for itself.

Farmed by nature: barn owls at Bei Ranch, grazing sheep at Parmeter, and sustainable practices across every vineyard.

Made in small batches, meant to be opened. New vintages sell out fast — the Cellar List gets first word, and Wine Club members get every release shipped to the door.

A hundred years on

The same story, best told in a glass.

Frank and Ronita never set out to build an empire — only to make honest wine from a land they love, and share it. A century of family, and it still comes down to this: good people, a wild stretch of shore, and a bottle worth opening.
