Specializing in premium single-origin wines, Naidu Wines launched back in 2020 and has been making strides ever since. It is the first Indian immigrant-owned and female-founded winery in the United States of America. Founder Raghni Naidu brings her incredible story and experience from her birthplace in Punjab, India to Sebastopol, California.
Each bottle from Naidu Wines contains the flavor of a single vineyard. The current list of wines boasts the Non-Vintage Sparkling Brut from the North Coast, as well as four wines from the Russian River Valley, including the 2021 Grenache Blanc, the 2021 Estate Pinot Noir, the 2021 Viognier, and the 2021 Pinot Noir. These single-origin wines are available at some of "the most exclusive and renowned restaurants in [the United States], including Michelin 3 Star Awarded Single Thread Farms, Little Saint Healdsburg, and more."
