Sonoma Valley's Larson Family Winery is on Sonoma Creek in the Los Carneros AVA of Sonoma County.

History

The site of the winery in the Schellville region of Sonoma Valley was first a ranch, then later the site of the Sonoma Rodeo. The land has been in the family for generations and is where notable horse trainer Buster Millerick who worked with Seabiscuit learned to ride.
