About this venue
Abbot’s Passage is a winery and mercantile located in the heart of Glen Ellen. We’re inspired by the paths less traveled. We celebrate processes and products that embrace the exceptional. Whether you’re new to our valley or a seasoned explorer, here’s to something unexpected, but just what you were looking for. Nestled between rows of 80-year old vines and surrounded by the storied hills of Sonoma, finding Abbot’s Passage means you are both lost and found. Our eclectic collection of Rhône-style wines inspires a winery and curated mercantile experience that challenges convention. Whether coming to taste, shop, play or celebrate, our collective invites friends and family to come often and stay awhile.

10/10 would recommend Abbots Passage. Accomodating and friendly staff. Katherine Katsura was super helpful and really went above and beyond to make our celebration memorable and fun. The vineyard and surrounding grounds are stunning and it's easy to walk around. Overall a fantastic experience for us and our guests.
