Ambiance
The tiny town of Graton has another wine lover’s gem!
Alex and Katie Bowman are the new millennials on the Graton block.
Look for the shiny, silver, AirStream that sits off to one side of the courtyard.
A big tasting room space with seating inside or outside.
Out front there is a large courtyard with an area to play darts.

Walk up the steps to the tasting room and onto a large deck/porch with more lounge seating.
In the tasting room, Katie’s decorating style captures an Anthropology/farmhouse flair.
Seriously though, move over Joanna Gaines of HGTV’s popular show Fixer Upper, Katie Bowman has some SERIOUS decorating talent.
Clearly, these exuberant Millennials put a unique twist to the wine tasting experience.

Cost:
$10 tasting fee, waived with purchase.
Wine prices range from $28-$42.
Great wines at a an affordable price point.

Wine Pick
I picked a Russian River Valley 2016 Chardonnay.
100% barrel-fermented in French and American oak with a rich, creamy texture.
A flagship wine for Bowman.
Bowman offers variety:
Blanc de Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and next month Rosé.

Dog Approved
Yes
Alex Bowman, winemaker and proprietor, graciously delivered a bowl of water for my pup Lexi.
She lounged in the sunshine while I tasted.

Social Media Worthy
No matter where you take a pic at Bowman…
Your picture will be on trend and social media goals.

Feel Good Vibes
To compliment your tasting, Bowman Cellars offers a menu of small plate noshes.
My friend and I shared the Truffle Cheddar Grilled Cheese.
We are foodies and could not rave enough about this beautifully presented and deliciously tasting sandwich.
As we hung out at Bowman we realized just how many mutual friends we have in common.
Katie Bowman’s sister is a friend of mine.
Our friend Andrea helps Bowman with marketing and design.
We also both know Jackie of Jaclynn Rene Wines.
The list of common connections went on and on.
