Almost a decade ago, when we unveiled our stunning MacRostie Estate House in the idyllic Russian River Valley, we had big dreams. More than just opening another wine country tasting room, we wanted to create a beautiful and welcoming venue that would set a new standard for hospitality in Sonoma County—both as the home to MacRostie and as a home away from home for our customers and club members. Offering a perfect intersection between gracious hospitality, coveted wines, bright, airy architecture, and breathtaking vineyard views, the Estate House quickly earned acclaim as one of wine country’s premier destinations.
In keeping with the welcoming spirit that defines the Estate House, our charming and knowledgeable tasting room hosts are called ambassadors, and they live up to the name. Warm, friendly, and down to earth, they exude an easy-going charm that carries through from the first welcoming sip of wine to the end of each experience. In the simplest terms, our ambassadors are dedicated to creating memorable moments for our guests, while providing a deeper connection to our wines and the vineyards where they are grown.
As a testament to this elevated and unpretentious approach, which we call “attainable luxury,” we are proud to have earned a 4.7-star rating on Yelp and a perfect five-star rating on TripAdvisor, along with countless rave reviews. Just as important, we measure our success by the guests who return again and again, often in the company of friends or family with whom they are eager to share their passion for MacRostie. Because we receive so many repeat visits, we are always striving to keep things fresh, with new tasting experiences, new food pairings, and great seasonal events like our Spring Soirée and our Golden Sunset Series, which features delicious dishes prepared by a different Sonoma County chef each month paired with some of our most sought-after wines. Trust us, watching the sun set behind the mountains from our terrace while eating a freshly made lobster roll and savoring The Key Chardonnay is an experience you don’t want to miss. We have also been thrilled by the response to our Library Vintage Experience, which offers guests the chance to explore pristinely aged wines from our library, each with three to ten years of cellaring, and paired with a delicious sampling of charcuterie from local favorite Journeyman Meat Co.
Located just 10 minutes from the charming town of Healdsburg and surrounded by our idyllic 14-acre Thale’s Estate Vineyard, the Estate House is a perfect four-season destination where guests can relax and unwind in an array of venues. From the elegant openness of our Estate House’s stylish interior to our welcoming terraces and patios, we invite you to discover why San Francisco Magazine named us the “Best Winery in Sonoma.”
