Special Instructions

Sojourn Cellars is a partnership between Craig Haserot and Erich Bradley, two friends who met on the tennis courts of Sonoma, and who share a desire to create delicious, handcrafted artisanal wines. Erich describes his winemaking as New World style complemented by Old World sensibilities, and he employs artisanal techniques to produce superior and distinctive wines.



  • We are red wine makers with a New World winemaking style; our wines are bold and expressive.

  • Our wines are artisanal, handcrafted and made in small lots to ensure the highest quality.  Some of our guiding principles include...



  1. Meticulous vineyard management

  2. Sovereignty on the vine, with no two clusters touching, to insure even ripening

  3. Field cluster sorting, both before and after fruit is harvested

  4. Cluster and berry sorting in the winery

  5. Three to five day cold soaking of the fruit

  6. Whole berry, native fermentations in open-top fermenters

  7. Punch downs by hand

  8. Gentle basket pressing

  9. Unfined and unfiltered finished wines



  • Our wines have a strong value component.  They are not cheap, but we price them within many wine buyers’ reach.
