100 Wine Blogs, 100 Days Blog 66 Kunde Family Estate

Blog 66 Kunde Family Estate



Kunde Family Estate is located in Kenwood, California in the Sonoma Valley Region. The Kunde Family owns over 1850 acres of land with 700 acres planted to over twenty varieties of grapes for winemaking on property in their winemaking facility. You can visit the winery for a wine tasting but be sure not to miss out on taking the tour of the property to see the wine caves.



During prohibition, the winemaking did not stop at this winery; they continued to make sacramental wines. However, at the start of World War II they had to stop making wine to fight in the war. In the 1960’s they expanded the vineyards and focused on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In 2004, they celebrated their 100th harvest.

Family owned for five generations, their wines are made from 100% estate grown grapes and they improve environmental practices by using sustainable farming methods. My favorite Kunde wine is the Cabernet Sauvignon.
