SONOMA. One of Sonoma's more commercially high-profile vineyards, Buena Vista is also one of the oldest, founded by the legendary Agoston Haraszthy way back in 1857. In fact, one might say that Haraszthy "invented" winemaking in California thanks to the innovations he made - using European viticulture techniques and vine cuttings from France to start his vineyard, for example. After falling on hard times after the Great Quake, Buena Vista experienced a resurgence of sorts in the 1980s. Today, visitors are invited to explore the grounds of this historic estate and pay visit to the old stone Press House (circa 1863), which now serves as the tasting room.
