Update March 12th 2012 - Asti Winery is now closed to the public.

Cellar No. 8 at Asti Winery produces wines sourced from North Coast, Sonoma County and Dry Creek Valley grapes. The brand, owned by Australian beverage company Foster's, is named after a cellar at the historic Asti Winery in Northern Sonoma. Cellar No. 8 makes its wines at the Asti Winery and now has a tasting room there too. Long time winemaker Paul Rydquist is at the helm.

The Asti Winery grounds are simply beautiful, serene and relaxing. A large grassy picnic area accented by large trees, vineyards and mountains makes for a peaceful afternoon. From the picnic area, you look out onto the vineyards and right smack dab in the the middle of the vineyard are 2 train cars! See the pictures above. This is the icing on the cake and makes Cellar No. 8 at Asti Winery a must see spot to visit.

Cellar No. 8 at Asti Winery tasting room is easy to get to. Just get off at the Asti exit on 101 and you will bump right into it. It's a beautiful scenic 25 minute drive from Santa Rosa.
