About the Winery
Adonna Wines is the label of Donna Kato, a Japanese American biochemist turned vintner who holds a master's degree in viticulture and enology from UC Davis. The winery describes its approach in terms of care, resilience and intention, and it made its California debut with a spring allotment release in March 2026.
The heart of the label is estate Pinot Noir from the Canfield Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, which Kato stewards; the winery describes it as certified sustainable, with regenerative practices underway. Chardonnay comes from Russian River Valley growers, and the first release also included a White Pinot Noir. Ashley Holland is the winemaker.
Wines are sold through an allotment to the mailing list, and private tastings are offered by appointment, arranged through the winery's contact page. It is a chance to taste a brand-new label early, with a small, personal visit. We confirm current details when we book.
Tasting Fees
Tasting fees to be verified upon reservation. Adonna does not publish a tasting fee. We confirm the current price when we book.
Tasting fees as of October 2026. Wineries set and collect their own fees, and they change from time to time.

Back by 4:00 p.m., six hours after pickup.

Martin Ray is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pellegrini-Olivet Lane is open Thursday to Monday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., so on Tuesday or Wednesday we choose another Russian River Valley winery.

Every tour is custom. This day is a starting point: your chauffeur will shape it around what matters to you, and we plan multi-day tours for guests who want to see more of wine country.
