About Buena Vista Winery
Buena Vista Winery situated in Sonoma has a rich, delicious heritage since 1857 as the first premium-and certainly the most colorful of all of the wineries in California. And its founder, the self-proclaimed “Count of Buena Vista,” Agoston Haraszthy, was a vivacious and eccentric pioneer with a veritable love and unending commitment to California wine.
In 2011, Buena Vista became part of Boisset Family Estates, a renowned and charismatic family with a collection of historic wineries and roots in Burgundy, France. The family, led in the US by Jean-Charles Boisset, possesses a true love and respect for Buena Vista—its unrivaled heritage, authentic roots, colorful history, and renowned wines. Boisset is passionately committed to its ‘partnership with The Count’—to continue the vision and legacy he first created 150 years ago.
