Inside the Tasting Rooms Johnson's Winery in Alexander Valley
"Dances to the Beat of it's own Drum" only, it's a Pipe Organ!
Johnson's in Sonoma County's Alexander Valley
Every once in a while you happen upon a place that has something so rare, so unique, so unexpected - that it leaves you in awe. This is how we felt when we visited Johnson's Winery just off Hwy 128 in the Alexander Valley. This tasting room houses a "working" 1924 Robert Mortan Pipe Organ originally used in the silent movies. And, as if that isn't enough to make you want to jump in your car and drive on over, the organ is wired with it's very own percussionist orchestra that helps to create this wonderful cacophony of sound & rhythm, movement & excitement. Truly a wondrous experience!
Ellen Johnson, the third generation proprietor, runs the family farm & winery. They sell most of the grapes they grow but, they reserve enough for themselves' to make about 1000 cases of an ever changing variety such as Johannisberg Riesling, Petite Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Their wines are sold exclusively at their tasting room. They also have picnic grounds and Basset Hounds so bring your lunch, your family and your camera as you you won't want to miss this stop!
