The Oxto Edit

Oxto AI

This winery is celebrated for its meticulous approach to crafting Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that truly reflect the terroir of Sonoma County. The seated tastings are designed to be intimate and focused, allowing you to immerse yourself in the nuances of each wine while surrounded by a serene atmosphere. Ideal for connoisseurs and couples seeking a luxurious, yet minimalistic wine experience.

About

Kistler is a proudly Californian effort. Our goal for nearly fifty years has been to lessen our imprint on every vineyard we work with and the wines that result.

Old world reverence applied to new world sites.

This is a profoundly difficult process, as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the varietals most easily marked by heavy-handed farming and the hand of the maker.
