Nestled in the heart of Sonoma County, California, Anaba Wines stands as a beacon of excellence in winemaking, with a rich history and a commitment to crafting exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. Founded in 2006 by John and Kathleen Sweazey, Anaba Wines takes its name from the anabatic winds that sweep through the Carneros region, cooling the vineyards and creating ideal conditions for grape cultivation. The Sweazey family’s passion for winemaking is deeply rooted in their love for the land and their desire to create wines that capture the essence of Sonoma County.

Anaba Wines boasts a stunning estate vineyard located in the renowned Carneros AVA, known for its cool climate and maritime influence. The vineyard is meticulously tended using sustainable and organic farming practices, with a focus on preserving the health of the land and promoting biodiversity. The diverse soil types and microclimates of the Carneros region contribute to the complexity and depth of flavor found in Anaba’s wines, particularly their acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varietals.

The history of Anaba Wines is a testament to the Sweazey family’s dedication to winemaking and their commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality.

With a focus on sustainable farming practices and a hands-on approach to winemaking, Anaba Wines has quickly gained recognition as a leader in the Sonoma County wine community.

Anaba Wines is celebrated for its portfolio of premium wines, which includes not only Chardonnay and Pinot Noir but also Rhône varietals such as Syrah and Grenache. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before undergoing fermentation in small batches to preserve their unique characteristics. The winemaking team, led by winemaker Katy Wilson, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the crafting of Anaba’s wines, ensuring that each bottle reflects the true essence of the vineyard and the vintage.
