About
Bartholomew Park

Bartholomew Park comprises 375 acres of vineyards, gardens, and forest. Explore scenic and challenging hiking trails, take a stroll along our walking paths, step back in time at the Haraszthy villa and museum, and enjoy a leisurely picnic surrounded by vineyard views. Whether you’re here for a taste of history or a sip of fine wine, a horseback ride or a scenic hike, Bartholomew Park offers areas that are friendly to both dogs and kids, as well as Instagram-worthy backdrops and endless opportunities for an unforgettable escape into Sonoma’s rich heritage. Please remember the winery’s policy that all guests within the tasting areas must be 21 — kids are welcome in all the other areas of the park!

Please join us for a hike, a picnic, a ride — and wine from Bartholomew Estate Winery. All profits from the winery fund the park for your enjoyment.

Closed on New Year’s Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Subject to additional closure, without notice, at the foundation’s discretion.

PARKING

The parking lot for trail riding is on your right, just as you enter the main gate, which bears the sign “Bartholomew Estate Winery and Vineyards.”

There are two parking lots available for hiking trails and picnic areas:

  • The first is the same lot used for trail riders, on your right just as you enter the main gate; it gives access to the Castle Lawn Picnic Grounds and the South Trail Head. 
  • The second is located to the left of the villa off Castle Road; it provides access to the North Trail Head, the picnic areas behind the villa (which has ADA-compliant parking space, ramp and picnic table adjacent to the restroom behind the villa under the redwood trees), and Antonia’s Picnic Grounds.

Please Note: The winery parking lot is reserved for winery guests who either have reservations, are arriving on a “walk-in” basis in the hopes of arranging a tasting, or want to purchase wine to either take away or to enjoy with a picnic.
