Wine Spectator: Sonoma’s Sojourn Cellars Sold To Former Vintage Wine Estates CEO

Winery executive Pat Roney is starting a new chapter. A group of investors led by Roney, the former CEO and founding partner of Vintage Wine Estates, has acquired Sonoma-based Sojourn Cellars. The deal, announced Aug. 7, includes the Sojourn brand and inventory, but no vineyards or winemaking facilities. The sale price was not disclosed.

Sojourn was founded by Craig Haserot and winemaker Erich Bradley in 2001. It currently produces about 10,000 cases of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. “Sojourn has a very strong, long history and direct-to-consumer base. They have wines of quality that I’ve admired for a fair amount of time,” Roney told Wine Spectator. “They’ve got a great list of customers, a lot of longtime customers. It’s something that I think we can continue to develop.” Wine Spectator has the full story.
