Gehricke Wines Tasting Room Reopens at Historic Sonoma Landmark Just Steps from Sonoma Plaza
SONOMA, Calif. (May 24, 2021) — 3 Badge Beverage Corporation, a wine and spirits négociant headquartered out of a historic, refurbished fire station in Sonoma, announced the reopening of its onsite tasting room. Named after 3 Badge Beverage’s flagship Sonoma County wine brand, the Gehricke Wines Tasting Room will offer flights and tastes from its enology portfolio, emphasizing the small production, single vineyard bottlings from Gehricke.
Just steps from Sonoma Plaza, the charming tasting space accommodates guests at the western half of the firehouse, previously a garage and apparatus bay that once supported the Sonoma Valley Fire & Rescue.
“We are thrilled to join our Sonoma friends and neighbors in reopening to the public. The Gehricke Wines Tasting Toom is a welcoming space for the community and visitors to relax and enjoy our expressive wines in a historic and central location,” said 3 Badge Beverage Corporation president, August Sebastiani.
Located at 32 Patten Street, 3 Badge Beverage Corporation acquired the building in June 2015, previously occupied by Sonoma Valley Fire & Rescue from 1948 until 2004. The name 3 Badge was inspired by Sebastiani’s grandfather, who worked at this very building as a volunteer firefighter, and it pays homage to the three service badges he earned while serving his community.
The tasting room is open Friday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Check back for updates on food truck partnerships as well as for special food pairing programming planned for Summer 2021. Tastings and reservations can be made by contacting info@gehrickewines.com or calling 707-732-9590.
