Carol Shelton is widely cited as the most awarded winemaker in the United States. She has won countless medals for her wines and has been honored as Winemaker of the Year numerous times. After years of working with some of the industry’s top winemakers and wineries, Carol continues to win awards and accolades for premium Zinfandels produced under her own brand, Carol Shelton Wines.

Launching Carol Shelton Wines

In 2000 Carol and her husband Mitch Mackenzie, a former software engineer, launched their own brand – Carol Shelton Wines. Faced with the opportunity to create her own identity and focus on whatever varietals she wanted, Carol chose Zinfandel.

The setting for Carol Shelton Wines may not be what wine tasters envision when planning a visit to wine country. But Zin lovers stepping into our homey, unpretentious tasting room will find a dream come true.

After tasting through a half-dozen luscious award-winning, single-vineyard designate Zinfandels, including a magical Late Harvest, and a few more red wines, our locale—an industrial section of Santa Rosa—becomes immaterial.

We are Open By Appointment daily from 11 – 4.

Give us a call (707-575-3441) and come on by to taste our award-winning wines.
