About Sunce Winery

Sunce — ‘sun’ in Croatian — is a small, family-owned, ultra-premium winery on Olivet Road west of Santa Rosa, in the heart of Sonoma County's Russian River Valley. Founded by the Franicevic family in 1991, it has spent more than three decades making wine the way a family does: by hand, in small lots, with quality always preferred over quantity.

Each release is limited — sometimes to 200 cases or fewer — and spans rare varietals, single-vineyard designates, and classic blends, with many wines pre-sold to members through barrel futures. Tastings are by the glass in a relaxed, welcoming setting where kids are always free and well-behaved pets are welcome.
