Bonobo Winery brings a boutique sensibility to Old Mission Peninsula, producing small-batch wines with meticulous attention to detail. Named after the bonobo primate — known for its social, peaceful nature — the winery reflects a philosophy of community, sustainability, and craftsmanship.
The intimate tasting room provides a personal, unhurried experience that stands in pleasant contrast to larger estates. The knowledgeable staff guides visitors through carefully curated flights that highlight the range of what Old Mission Peninsula terroir can achieve.
The wine portfolio focuses on quality over quantity, with limited-production wines made from estate and locally sourced grapes. Their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are particularly noteworthy, showing a Burgundian elegance that speaks to the region's cool-climate potential.
Bonobo's commitment to sustainable viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking resonates with a growing audience of environmentally conscious wine enthusiasts.
