In a quiet pocket of Sonoma County, where sun-drenched vines cling to hillside soil and the breeze carries whispers of heritage, Idle Cellars quietly crafts wines that speak of place, patience, and purpose.
Founded by two friends brought together by their love of the land and a bit of good fortune, Idle Cellars is more than a winery. It’s a story unfolding in every bottle.
“Our belief is that the essence of winemaking is getting dirty in the vineyard,”
Wines with Soul: Handpicked for Wine Club Members
The Vault at Idle Cellars holds treasures reserved only for wine club members. Here are a few of the exclusive gems waiting within:
- 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon – deep, structured, with hints of dried cherry and toasted spice
- 2024 Sauvignon Blanc – vibrant, citrusy, a breath of fresh air from this year’s early harvest
- 2019 Grenache – soft and expressive, kissed with red fruit and wild herbs
- 2017 Sangiovese – savory, layered, and aged gracefully into complexity
These wines are carefully chosen by Ben and Ari, who understand what makes a bottle truly sing.
“Our knowledge and deep understanding of our agricultural surroundings allows us to choose what we believe are the best processes for each varietal of wine,”

The Idle Philosophy
In 2006, Ben and Ari crossed paths while working a harvest in Sonoma. One lived close to the vines, the other had just stepped off a plane. Together, they formed Idle Cellars—a reflection of their yin and yang dynamic, and their desire to create something beautiful, grounded, and honest.
Their shared passion for world travel, agriculture, and intentional living shows up in every vintage. And it’s that same spirit they share with their club members.
“We strive to produce elegantly balanced wines through our grace of art that allow the drinker to enjoy a unique and memorable idle moment.”
