About the Winery
Dancing is the label of a mother-and-daughter team, Cynthia and Lauren Russell, who restored a historic vineyard in 2022 and have made wine from it since. The brand calls itself a mother-daughter vineyard and pairs limited-release wines with a line of fragrances inspired by vineyard life.
The vineyard covers a dozen acres in Sonoma County, with old, gnarly vines few enough to pick by hand. Dancing's wines are small releases: a rosé (the 2024 is a Zinfandel rosé), Fresh Take, a modern take on Zinfandel, Duo, a bright, elegant red, and Bounce. In the online shop Fresh Take is $28 and the 2025 rosé $34.
Dancing sells through its online shop and the Dance Club, which brings shipments, exclusive drops and member events. There is no tasting room or visit program, so it does not receive visitors. The day below goes to Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County's Zinfandel heartland, for three family wineries that do host.
Tasting Fees
Dancing does not offer tastings. On the day below, expect about $100 to $120 per person: $30 to $50 at Dry Creek Vineyard and $35 each at Quivira and Preston Farm.
Tasting fees as of October 2026. Wineries set and collect their own fees, and they change from time to time.
