“How do you build a garden in a place where culture and wilderness physically touch?” “How does one do ‘landscape architecture’ in a place where wild coast live oaks cascade down from the foothills and crash into grapevines?” wondered David Godshall. The hacienda, rebuilt after an earthquake in 1906, had been abandoned for 20 years before the Mariani brothers bought the winery. When landscape architects Alain Peauroi and David Godshall of Terremoto took on the job of creating new gardens to surround the grande dame that brothers Adam and Andrew Mariani purchased in 2007, they realized no ordinary garden would do. So you can understand how the hacienda at Scribe Winery sets the tone for the rest of the landscape. We joined the Union in 1848 and since then have endured so many biblical calamities in the form of fires and earthquake that it’s a shock to find any building with a history that dates to 1850-much less a grand Spanish-style mansion with a pillared front porch and a terracotta tile roof, presiding over Sonoma County’s velvety green, rolling vineyards. In California, our architecture is young. Icon - Check Mark A check mark for checkbox buttons. Icon - Twitter Twitters brand mark for use in social sharing icons.

They even allow dogs to tag along, so if you are planning a tour of wine country with man’s best friend, you can include them on your list of things to do. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, but you will have to make a reservation for a tasting. If you have questions about it, hosts will chat with you, eschewing anything so formal as a lecture. Rieslings and Pinot Noirs from the estate are also unique.
Most famously, they make the Chardonnay with fermented grape skins, which gives it a golden color and earthy taste. Of course, the wine is as connected to place as the fruits. Mostly, people stay outside in the sweet Sonoma air and enjoy the view of palm trees, madrones, and orchards.

There is some space inside the hacienda for sitting and sipping: little rooms with bay windows and comfortable red couches, or dark wood tables and brick fireplaces. In the meantime, visitors are treated to fruit and nuts grown on the 40-acre property. The brothers are working on restoring the old 1920’s-era basement speakeasy. A visitor can sit in their perfumed shade at picnic tables or on blankets. Peach and olive trees ring the Scribe winery vineyards. They firmly believe in connecting people to place through wine, and this inspires them to focus on not only sustainable growing practices, but on renovating the old white adobe hacienda that the original owners built. The brothers, Andrew and Adam Mariani, who bought Scribe in 2007, were very conscious of the significance of the place they were purchasing.
Scribe Winery was built on a property where people were making wine before Prohibition.
