Arista Winery is a family-owned Sonoma, California producer founded in 2002 by Al and Janis McWilliams. Now run by their sons Mark and Ben McWilliams, the brand continues to produce and sell wines online following the sale of its estate and production facility and the closure of its tasting room in early 2025. Its limited, small-lot range focuses on handcrafted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from elite Sonoma and Mendocino vineyards. Winemaking is led by Matt Courtney, a protégé of Helen Turley, with an emphasis on personalized service and handcrafted quality.
