About the Winery
Las Jaras Wines is made by Joel Burt and Eric Wareheim, who aim for wines with energy and balance, vibrant and food friendly, made with minimal intervention so each vineyard shows through. The range runs from sparkling wine, rosé and a chilled red called Glou Glou to Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon, plus a Sweet Berry Wine that, in the winemakers' words, demands explanation.
Much of the fruit comes from beyond Sonoma County. The Chenin Blancs come from the Junius Vineyard on the Talmage Bench in Mendocino County, the Pinot Noir from the La Belle Promenade Vineyard in Oregon since 2018, and other wines from vineyards such as Ricetti, Venturi and the certified organic Love Ranch. The site credits the artists behind its labels, and the fall 2026 release runs from about $25 to $68 a bottle.
Las Jaras lists a mailing address on First Street West in Sonoma and no tasting room, so it does not receive visitors. The wines are sold online, through a wine club and by shops and restaurants listed on its Purveyors page. The day below stays around the town of Sonoma, at three estates that do host.
Tasting Fees
Las Jaras does not offer tastings. On the day below, the tasting fees are $85 at Three Sticks, $45 at Gundlach Bundschu and $60 at Ram's Gate, about $190 per person in all, paid directly to each winery.
Tasting fees as of October 2026. Wineries set and collect their own fees, and they change from time to time.

10:00 · Pickup at MacArthur Place or El Dorado Hotel
Since Las Jaras does not host visitors, this day takes you to three sought-after estates nearby that do. MacArthur Place and El Dorado Hotel are both a few minutes from the Sonoma Plaza and the first stop. The day runs about five and a half hours, and extra time can be added by the hour.
10:10 · Three Sticks Wines

12:45 · Lunch at the girl & the fig
About 10 minutes away. Lunch on the plaza at the girl & the fig, a Sonoma restaurant known for French country cooking with local ingredients. We confirm hours when we book. Prefer a picnic? We can arrange a catered picnic at a winery that allows one; the cost is quoted when you book.
2:10 · Ram's Gate Winery
About 15 minutes away. A Howard Backen-designed estate at the entrance to Sonoma, known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Seated Wine Tasting of five wines is $60, about an hour. Open Thursday to Monday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
3:10 · Back to your hotel
Back by about 3:30 p.m., about five and a half hours after pickup.
Ram's Gate is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so plan this day for Thursday to Monday. Gundlach Bundschu opens at 11 a.m., which is why it comes second.
About $190 per person in tasting fees for the three wineries, paid directly to each winery.
