Winery Description

Swanson is also known for producing smaller quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Syrah, Sangiovese, Viognier and a portfolio of Sweet Wines.
The Sip Shoppe is delightfully whimsical shoppe showcasing sips of Swanson Vineyards’ finest library vintages and carefully curated gifts. Select wines are available to purchase by the case and the bottle. Featuring its own tasting menu, Sip Shoppe wines are poured in charming glass “Dixie” cups, mini Riedel Os, or tiny crystal cordials in 1.5 ounce sip sizes.
With the intimacy of an at-home dinner party, the Salon offers tastings lead by a skilled salonnière (keeper of the Salon), the tasting experience is interwoven with storytelling, wine insights and conviviality - celebrating the many ways to enjoy wines paired with some of the world’s best chocolates, caviars and cheeses.
