Becoming a member of the Naidu Wines Club means more than investing in beautifully crafted, small-lot wines from the Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley. It means joining a long-lasting relationship rooted in authenticity, hospitality, and connection.
“We want people who believe in our product and want to be part of our journey,” says Raghni Naidu. “Our hope is that members join us for the long haul, so they can experience the benefits as we grow. Every relationship is a long-term relationship. We want people on this journey with us.”
Writing in The Wine Enthusiast, Tom Capo praised Naidu’s 2022 Russian River Pinot Noir:
“Dazzlingly complex… This wine gives aromas of black cherry, cinnamon, violets and dark chocolate. The palate is beautifully balanced, with flavors of grilled plum, fried shiitake and nervy raspberry-lemon acidity. Lovers of exceptional Cru Beaujolais will love this style.”
Wine Enthusiast score: 95 points
As for the Chardonnay, Cindy Rynning of Grape Experiences wrote:
“Optimally balanced with fruit notes and a lingering finish, Raghni Naidu’s commitment to quality is evident in every sip.”
Members enjoy exclusive access to Naidu’s private tasting room and hillside vineyard—an intimate, serene setting just outside Sebastopol. To explore our tasting options, visit the Visit Us page.
The Estate Vineyard property reflects the heart of Naidu Wines: warm hospitality, connection, and an invitation to experience wine in a tranquil, beautiful setting. With vineyard views, outdoor spaces, and a thoughtfully designed environment, members enjoy a truly personal and immersive wine experience.
Every member is invited to a complimentary immersive tasting in the open-air tasting room—complete with a curated charcuterie board and a guided walk through the vineyard. This behind-the-scenes insight offers a unique window into future vintages and Naidu’s winemaking philosophy.
Members receive allocations three times per year, featuring Naidu’s small-batch, terroir-driven, single-vineyard wines. Explore current releases in the Naidu Wines Shop.
Recent allocations include the Estate Pinot Noir and the Catie’s Corner Vineyard Chardonnay—both exclusively poured at the James Beard Foundation Awards.
For me, the combination of world-class wines, intimate vineyard access, and the genuine warmth of the Naidu team make this one of Sonoma County’s most rewarding memberships. This is a winery worth investing in for years to come.
