A Garden-to-Glass Experience at Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate & Gardens
If only this blog were scratch-and-sniff! Our Visit Santa Rosa team recently had the pleasure of touring Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate & Gardens, and it was a feast for the senses from start to finish.
Led by the knowledgeable and welcoming Matthew and Mitchell of KJ Wines, we explored the beautifully cultivated gardens that provide more than just aesthetic charm—they’re a working culinary landscape. Under the care of Master Culinary Gardener Tucker Taylor, we sampled freshly picked mint, eggplants, tomatoes, and of course, grapes destined to become award-winning wines.

The estate’s garden-to-table ethos shines through in the kitchen, where Chef Tracey Shepos Cenami creates seasonal dishes using ingredients grown just steps from the plate. Every meal is crafted with intention and a commitment to sustainability, following a zero-waste philosophy that makes each bite as thoughtful as it is delicious.
Whether you're enjoying a curated wine tasting in the stunning tasting room or relaxing with a picnic in the garden, Kendall-Jackson offers a uniquely immersive Wine Country experience that’s perfect for families, foodies, and wine lovers alike.
Plan your visit to Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate & Gardens and see how Santa Rosa blends agriculture, hospitality, and sustainability into something truly unforgettable.
