About the Winery
Colagrossi Wines is a small urban winery in Windsor, run by owner and winemaker Craig Colagrossi. The winery says 2025 marked his 30th harvest and the 17th anniversary of making wine under his own label.
The focus is Italian varietals, including Barbera and Sangiovese, along with Cabernet Sauvignon and sparkling wines, some of the Italian reds aged in barrel. Production is small, and the wines are sold at the winery, through its shop and through the wine club.
Visits are informal and friendly, and depending on the day they can include barrel tasting. The winery also offers barrel tastings and Cabernet blending classes, where guests make their own blend. It is a personal stop, and it sits a few minutes from some of the best-known estates in the northern Russian River Valley. We confirm current details when we book.
Tasting Fees
The winery does not publish its 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.
