Odonata Wines

Walk-ins Welcome

Odonata Wines is a family run winery owned and operated by winemaker Denis Hoey. Odonata has

three Estate Vineyards; Falcon Hill supplies Pinot Noir, Machado Creek supplies Petite Sirah, Grenache,

Mouvedre and Sangiovese and our recently planted Estate Vineyard at the winery is Viogner. Odonata

also sources many of the grapes from local vineyards.

While providing an eclectic range of wines, Odonata specializes in Burgundian (Pinot Noir and

Chardonnay) and Rhone Wines (Grenache, Syrah, Mouvedre, GSM, Petite Sirah and Viogner).

The winery and tasting room are both child and pet friendly and the winery is available for private

functions.
