CAST WINES — GEYSERVILLE, CALifornia

February 2-8th, 2025

The two-bedroom guest house at CAST Wines is the perfect place for two to four writers to work in collaboration or individually on solo projects and draw inspiration from the surrounding beauty of the vineyards.

CAST Wines’ estate vineyard consists of 80% Zinfandel and 20% Petite Sirah, providing grapes for several wines, was planted in 2000 by noted Sonoma County vineyard manager Ulises Valdez. Prior to 2000, the land was part of a large sheep ranch for decades – the heard still exists on a smaller parcel just up the street at Canyon Road.

Located in the Dry Creek Valley AVA and within Sonoma County, the land and surrounding farms have a long history of rich agricultural bounty, from prunes, apples and peaches to wine grapes, primarily farmed by families and small operators like CAST.
