Peninsula Cellars is one of Old Mission Peninsula's most beloved wineries, celebrated for its warm hospitality and the unique charm of its historic setting. The tasting room occupies an 1896 one-room schoolhouse, creating an intimate and memorable backdrop for wine tasting.
The Kroupa family has farmed the surrounding land for generations, transitioning from cherry farming to grape growing as the region's wine industry blossomed. This deep agricultural heritage informs their winemaking philosophy: let the fruit and the land speak for themselves.
Peninsula Cellars is known for producing approachable, fruit-forward wines that appeal to both newcomers and experienced wine enthusiasts. Their Gewürztraminer, Pinot Grigio, and semi-sweet cherry wines are perennial favorites, while their dry reds showcase the surprising depth that Old Mission Peninsula terroir can achieve.
The relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere makes this a perfect first stop on the wine trail, and the knowledgeable staff takes pride in helping visitors discover new favorites.
