Alma Fria
The Alma Fria Rosé combines elegance with a modern approach in this delicious rosé wine. Traditional champagne is combines with sparkling wine which is the perfect drink for the summer. I fell in love with this at Barn Diva’s Rosé party as it’s super light, fresh and has great acidity.
Amista Vineyards
Amista Vineyards, a fabulous winery in Dry Creek California has a delicate rosé wine with such a pretty soft pink color. Made from Grenache, there are flavors of pink grapefruit and bright acidity with pairs perfectly with pesto or melon. It is just as delicate and beautiful as the color portrays.
In addition to their still Rosé they have a Sparkling Rosé of Grenache which is equally as fabulous. Winemaker Ashley Herzog describes it as “packed with aromas of fresh picked tangerine, bubblegum, pink grapefruit, lemon verbena and meyer lemon zest. There are layers of delicate early spring strawberries, gently muddled raspberries, and loads of aromatic citrus. The finish is bright and bracing and lingers on the palate for days.
Brashley Vineyards
Brashley Vineyards is an Anderson Valley Winery you MUST get to know. The wines are made by my pal, Ashley Holland and they’re lovely. Speaking of Anderson Valley, check out my favorite Anderson Valley Wineries here.
Brashley Vineyards Rosé of Pinot Noir is fermented for six months to produce the absolute best flavor. There are flavors of strawberry, plum, and light citrus. It is a bright pink color and has a smooth acidic finish.

Guadagni Family Winery
This is a brand I just recently got to know and they’re a small family-owned winery (my favorite kind) in the Dry Creek Valley. The Danielle Guadagni Grenache Rosé is an elegant rosé wine picked fresh from Grenache grapes. This is a crisp rosé wine that is also perfect for any summer day. It has a beautiful light peach color, great strawberry and red fruit flavors and great acidity as well. This is PERFECT for summer.
Maker Wines
You’ve probably seen how much I adore canned wines in my Best Canned Wines blog post. Maker Wines was one of the first that I fell in love with. This is a female-owned brand who highlights various makers in the wine world then bottles them in their great cans and sells them.
Maker Wines Rosé is a great one to grab on the go, to enjoy at parties, or on a casual day at home. There are notes of rhubarb, guava, and strawberries and cream. This dry rosé wine is one of the best to enjoy.
Seppi Wines
Another California brand that I adore is Seppi Wines from my dear friend Kelsey Phelps. These California Wines are beyond beautiful. Shop Seppi Wines online here.

Valette Wines
I’ve adored Valette Wines for many years, and their Rosé made by legendary Bob Cabrall is just as spectacular. Their Rosé of Pinot Noir is refreshing and bright just as much as it is delicious.
