Experience a Taste of Artisan Craft at Sol Rei Wine's New Tasting Room in Sonoma

Sol Rei Wine Opens New Tasting Room in Sonoma

A New Destination for Wine Lovers
Sol Rei Wine, an acclaimed women-owned boutique winery, has made a remarkable entrance into the wine scene with the launch of its new tasting room in downtown Sonoma. This intimate space not only showcases their award-winning wines but also reflects the winery’s commitment to purity and craftsmanship. Nestled just steps away from Sonoma Plaza, the tasting room invites guests to immerse themselves in a serene, nature-inspired atmosphere designed to enhance the wine tasting experience.

Purity and Craftsmanship
Recognized for its dedication to creating low-histamine and low-sulfite wines, Sol Rei boasts a portfolio that is rigorously lab-tested to be free from pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide residues. This commitment to purity is at the heart of the winery’s philosophy, ensuring that every sip captured in the glass tells a story of its natural origins. The tasting room itself is an extension of this mission, designed as a tranquil retreat where visitors can connect deeply with the craft of winemaking. With artistic elements like a mural depicting Northern California wine grapes and a wine grapevine incorporated into the bar, the space visually reinforces the winery’s core values.

A Visionary Founder
Katherine Kitzmiller, the founder of Sol Rei Wine, transitioned from aspirations of retirement and wine hobbyist to entrepreneur at the age of 63 after a personal health scare shifted her focus to clean, conscious winemaking. With the help of experienced winemakers and extensive third-party lab analysis, her vision of producing artisan wines with stringent health standards became a reality. “Whether it’s the ambiance in our tasting room or the wines that we make, our focus is our customers who love wine yet seek balance and wellbeing in their lives,” Kitzmiller expressed.

Award-Winning Wines Among the First Vintage
Since its inaugural release in 2023, Sol Rei Wine has quickly gained national acclaim, particularly with the recognition of the 2023 Private Reserve Red as Editor's Choice by Wine Enthusiast. This wine, alongside others such as the Syrah and the Private Reserve Red blend, has earned multiple accolades at esteemed competitions like the 2025 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, reflecting the winery’s commitment to excellence.

Grand Opening Celebration
To mark this significant milestone, the winery is holding a grand opening event on December 11, 2025. The Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce and the City of Sonoma will participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony, celebrating not just the opening of the tasting room, but the vibrant community ethos that Sol Rei Wine represents. Guests are invited to enjoy the peaceful retreat created at this tasting room, enhanced by the sounds of nature, beautiful floral arrangements, and the art of winemaking.

Visiting Sol Rei Wine
The Sol Rei tasting room welcomes guests daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Tuesdays), with walk-ins encouraged and reservations recommended for larger parties. Located at 25 East Napa Street, Suite E, Sonoma, CA, it stands as a testament to the joy of wine and the spirit of community.

For wine enthusiasts looking for a premium experience centered around clean, artisan craft, Sol Rei Wine’s tasting room promises to offer not just wine, but a collection of stories, science, and tradition in a glass.
