About Backstage Winery

Tastings $45 to $169 per person · Reservations required · Open Friday to Sunday, 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, closed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

Angelo Pera started making wine in his garage more than 30 years ago, and that patient, hands-on approach still defines Backstage. From 50 acres in the Oak Knoll District (with most vineyard plots just one to two acres) he crafts small-lot, single-vineyard Cabernets alongside his family, each bottling distinct in personality. Taste at the Tuscan-villa-inspired tasting room or book a private appointment.
