Grounds for celebration: Larson Winery re-opens

Just five months after a fire destroyed its tasting room and historic memorabilia, Larson Family Winery opened its (newly installed) gates on August 4. Tasting Room Manager Hayden Puryear says his crew has been working “tirelessly around the clock” to ready the outdoor area, which is tricked out with bocce ball, cornhole and cabanas.

At the end of Limerick Lane in the Carneros, the land from the 1920s through 1950s was the site of the Sonoma Rodeo. Fittingly, one tasting-flight option is the “This Ain’t Our First Rodeo” collection.
