Scherrer Winery

Scherrer Winery is a small winery,  first vintage in 1991, our goal has been to create handcrafted, full-flavored wines that express the personality of the unique Sonoma County vineyards where they are grown.The winery is owned by Fred and Judi Scherrer. The wine at Scherrer Winery is produced by Fred Scherrer.

Fred began making Zinfandel from his father's vineyard in 1991. The first vintage consisted of 600 cases made from the oldest part of the vineyard planted by Fred's grandfather in 1912. Over the next 5 years, Fred was able to slowly expand production of Zinfandel as he continued his 'day job' as winemaker at Dehlinger. In 1997, we were able to expand production to include Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay from the Scherrer Vineyard. This expansion included making the winery a full-time occupation in 1998 and moving into its current location in an insulated metal building near Sebastopol.

Total production is now 4000 to 5000 cases. Scherrer Winery produces the following wine varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Rosé, Syrah/Shiraz and Zinfandel.
