Company description

Dos’ is envisioned as a community tasting venue situated in Sonoma, designed to celebrate the intersection of progressive farming and the conservation of agricultural traditions. Unlike traditional tasting rooms, Dos’ aims to serve as a community hub where patrons can gather, share stories, and immerse themselves in the richness of authentic happenings. Through a carefully curated selection of wines, ciders, and market items, Dos’ seeks to educate and inspire its audience about the value of agriculture in their lives, promoting a shared vision of a healthy and prosperous future.

Vision:

Dos’ aspires to be more than a typical tasting room – it aims to be a venue that fosters community, celebration, and intimacy. In a world dominated by digital interactions, Dos’ seeks to create a physical space where locals and visitors alike can come together to appreciate the bounty of Sonoma. By showcasing both innovative and traditional beverages and products, Dos’ endeavors to set an example for agricultural communities, encouraging them to celebrate the abundance around them.

Mission:

Dos’ considers community and culture sacred, positioning itself as a cultural sanctuary – a "church of culture." The venue acts as an alchemical melting pot where stories and perspectives are shared, using wine and event programming as mediums for immersive, relatable, and memorable experiences. Dos’ is dedicated to bringing art and wine down from the ivory tower, functioning as a museum of folklore, myth, and agricultural intersection that embodies and represents the essence of Sonoma.
