Tasting room

Corner 103's tasting room is located in downtown Sonoma, California. It is located in the historic Feed Store building. The tasting room is open to the public. Davis pairs seasonal food with the wines in order to provide guests an educational experience. Staff lead guests through seven food and wine pairings which include charcuterie, local cheese, rillette and other gourmet foods paired with Corner 103 wine. The wines served during the tasting represent a different AVA in Sonoma County. Staff share information on the soil and growing conditions of each vineyard from which the wines come from and also discuss the correct type of glass the wines should be served in and the temperature the wines should be served at.
