Robert Young Estate Winery
Robert Young Estate Winery, iconic heart and soul of the Alexander Valley, stately on Red Winery Road.
Robert Young Estate Winery, where history (five generations of family farming right in this Alexander Valley location), family, hospitality, vines and wines “done the right way”, community spirit and warmth of hospitality combine to make this the perfect destination for a total wine experience, whether in the cozy tasting room, in the spectacular cave, or just being present in the lavender covered garden area, bees abuzz, spectacular home and winery, dazzling in their clean, white presentations. The architecture wows and so do the wines. Special events here (and you can also hold your own events here, too) are really just that- SPECIAL- from staging in the lavishly decorated winery itself, to wandering opera and choruses singing in the caves, to Felix the Llama checking you out from his hillside corral. And every day, warm staff, and often family, will be your guide. Careful winemaking following the careful tending of their estate vines and land, produces beautiful wines; if you join the Scion Wine Club, you will feel even more like an adopted family member! “Family” and “Estate Grown” sum it up; here are fine wines in a comfortable atmosphere, exemplifying unassuming excellence, and warmth, just like patriarch Robert Young. His scions (both viticultural and human) carry on the family traditions.
Robert Young.
“We are the offspring (the Scions) of Robert Young, one of the most honored wine grape growers in America. Our aim is to continue the family pursuit of excellence in farming our land, and to build for our children and grandchildren.”

Robert Young always had a sense of humor about folks confusing him with the actor, Robert Young…but for me, his home looks like the right place to film FATHER KNOWS BEST…I always wanted to be called “Kitten”….
The winery, caves to the right…
Even the sign is lovely….
Here’s looking at you, kids.

And just in case you are wondering about the actor:
Not OUR Robert Young- this is the actor: Princess, Bud and Kitten surround Robert Young, the actor, – and wife, Peggy/Margaret….you know, I think I prefer “Princess” to “Kitten”…..
OUR ROBERT YOUNG: The One & Only, Robert Young, Alexander Valley, California, USA!
But just to make it clear, our Dad was NOT THAT Robert Young. He was the other one, the famous grape grower. People always get that confused. He was still that BEST!
Hi Susan! Well put! TR
In retrospect, I think we would agree that they did have one very important thing in common…Father Knows Best!
Hello Ted! That is certainly true! Thank you. TR
