Sunset Cellars: Embracing the Zen Zin Philosophy

Located in the picturesque Suisun Valley of California's North Coast, Sunset Cellars is a charming winery celebrated for its handcrafted, award-winning wines. Guided by the Zen Zin philosophy, the winery practices minimal intervention in the winemaking process, allowing the true essence of the vineyards to shine through. The goal is to produce natural, fruit-forward wines that highlight the unique characteristics of the region's terroir.

Quality wines begin with the finest grapes.

Wines That Showcase Terroir

Founded in 1997, Sunset Cellars produces around 1,500 cases of wine each year. The winery sources grapes from meticulously maintained vineyards across various appellations in the region. Their diverse selection includes Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Syrah, Petit Sirah, Charbono, and Chardonnay. While Sunset Cellars primarily focuses on red wines, they also craft white wines on occasion.

Minimal Intervention Winemaking

At Sunset Cellars, the winemaking process begins with handpicking the best quality grapes, which are then carefully sorted before crushing. The grapes undergo fermentation in half-ton containers, with gentle racking as needed. Aging occurs in a limited number of new oak barrels, enhancing the wine's flavor without overpowering its natural character. This hands-on approach ensures that each bottle reflects the exceptional terroir and quality of the grapes. Visit Sunset Cellars for an enjoyable wine tasting experience and to appreciate the artistry behind their wines.

Great spot! Comfortable, relaxed atmosphere with knowledgable staff and a variety of very tasty wines. I particularly liked their more creative wines that you wouldn't find at a traditional tasting room. Highly recommend - no matter what type of wine you like, you'll find something here!

The Suisun Valley Wine Co-op is one tasting room for three Suisun Valley micro-wineries: Sunset Cellars, Blacksmith, & King Andrews Vineyards. Each winemaker has a unique style so there is definitely something for everyone! In addition, each winery experiments with a number of different varietals making it a wonderful place to try something new. Last but not least, the staff are knowledgeable, approachable, and generous! Always a great time. Worth a stop whenever you’re in the Suisun Valley

Brought my brother and his gf here for a decadent Sunday afternoon. Pat and the team were all super friendly and happy to share a taste of each of their LONG list of wines. I especially loved the old vine zinfandel. Great place to bring some friends, taste some great wines, and you get 15% off the already reasonable prices for such good wine when you buy 12! So we split a case =] If you only taste I believe its 10$ each, but if you buy any wine than the tasting is free! After all the wine and laughs we went another mile up the road for some delicious Mexican food truck tacos at Larry's Produce on Pat's reccomendation which were also delicious!
