For over a century, five generations of the Kunde family have farmed the 1,850-acre estate in the heart of Sonoma Valley. Our winemaking mission is to carry on that tradition by crafting elegant, estate-grown, sustainably farmed wines with a real sense of place — beautifully balanced and expressive of our dramatic vineyard landscape. Perched high above Sonoma Valley on the steps of the Mayacamas Mountains, our premier venue, Boot Hill, boasts panoramic 360-degree views of the spectacular wine country scenery. We offer several exclusive event spaces that can accommodate large or small groups. Our Hospitality Team will work with you to make sure no detail is overlooked. This secluded site, marked by a towering grove of Valley Oaks, provides an amazing stage for unforgettable events at Kunde Family Winery.
