"Down a narrow road at the westernmost edge of the Dry Creek Valley, Michel-Schlumberger is one of Sonoma's finest producers of Cabernet Sauvignon. A spin through the organically farmed vineyard here is like taking a walk through France, and though the winery is best known for Bordeaux varietals, you'll also find Burgundian grapes next to ones from Alsace and the Rhône. Estate tours are unusually casual and friendly; weather permitting, visitors walk up a hill on a gravel pathway to the edge of the property's lovely terraced vineyards before swinging through the barrel room, in a California Mission-style building that once served as the home of the winery's founder, Jean-Jacques Michel."—Fodor's

"Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and the very blended Maison Rouge are some of the other brilliant wines that pretty lively reflect the character of this vineyard. Cool climatic condition of the Dry Creek valley imparts a good terroir to the grape plantations here. No wonder the berries hold on to the moisture, ripe with zest, when taken all the way to the winery to age. Perhaps this is the secret of the ebullient wines that Michel-Schlumberger husbands year after year, treat after treat!"—AOL Travel

A true wine-country experience means something different to everyone. At Michel-Schlumberger, we view the experience as an emotional and sensory journey that connects our customers and guests to the beauty of the estate, the character of our vineyards, the philosophy of our winemaking, and to our excellent and distinctive wines. As is tradition in great winegrowing regions, our story starts in the vineyards. Renowned for our Old World varietals and blends, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay, the distinctive terroir of the estate adds character and personality to our wines. Our goal is to create elegant wines and great memories, within an environment that reflects our respect for the land, and a focus on unparalleled hospitality and service.
