Sunrise Ranch Winery

Sunrise Ranch Winery is a winery in American Canyon, CA, offering private wine tasting experiences and educational events for large groups. Located on Kirkland Ranch Rd, the winery operates as a division of Laird Family Estate and features expansive vineyards growing Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. It provides tastings in multiple venues including the Tasting Salon, Veranda, lawns, ballroom, kitchen, and observatory. The property spans 400 acres and includes a large winemaking facility. The winery is known for its scenic views of the southern Napa Valley and is recognized as a featured venue in SmartMeetings’ “Hidden Gems” list.

Sunrise Ranch Winery is part of the Laird Family Estate, a Napa Valley farming family with over 50 years of viticultural history. The Lairds began producing their own premium wines in 1999, and their children, Justin and Rebecca, now manage vineyard operations and winery management respectively. After acquiring the 400-acre Sunrise Ranch property, Ken Laird replanted the vineyards, inspired by the view of the sunrise from the site, which gave the winery its name. The winery hosts both wine tastings and tailored culinary experiences, with a focus on group events and client-driven planning. Julie Shaw, Director of Events, brings an entrepreneurial approach and 18 years of event planning experience to the team.

The winery sits on Kirkland Ranch Rd, a short distance from Jameson Canyon Road and Fagan Creek, and is located just over a mile from both Eagle Vines Golf Club and Chardonnay Golf Club. It lies about 1.7 miles from Broadway Street and Airport Boulevard, situated within the rolling hills of southern Napa Valley.

Sunrise Ranch Winery stands out as a distinctive venue for group experiences in American Canyon, combining expansive vineyards, a historic family legacy, and diverse event spaces. Its unique setting and emphasis on tailored events make it a notable destination for wine and event experiences in the region.
