Simon Levi Cellars
At Simon Levi Cellars our commitment is to offer a unique range of limited production, and often, exclusive wines of excellent quality. Believing quality of life can be synonymous with the quality of our wines, our concentration is to source site-specific grapes to produce wines that represent the characteristics of their appellation. We also specialize in discovering distinctive, one-of-a-kind wines that you’ll not fine elsewhere. Sometimes that involves traveling the back passes of Northern California’s Wine Country or digging into our own wine cellars to find those gems. With over 130 years of experience and with the help of our collected resources, often including selections from our extended family of winemakers and friends, we are able to bring these treasures to you. We welcome you to visit our tasting room, the Old Kenwood Schoolhouse or check out our online store for our current selections.
Now the home of Simon Levi Cellars, the Old Kenwood Schoolhouse was once known as the Los Guilicos Schoolhouse of Kenwood. In the late 1890’s the children of Kenwood, who were attending school in the nearby Kirkwood Hotel, were given their own large one-room schoolhouse. That same room today is the Simon Levi Tasting Room. Photos on the wall show the schoolhouse and Kenwood as it existed over 100 years ago. When in the area, stop into our tasting room to see a little of the schoolhouse history.
In addition to being a school, this Old Kenwood Schoolhouse has played various roles. At one time, it was an apartment building, a roller rink and a hardware store. After many attempts to purchase this historic building, the owners of Simon Levi Company finally succeeded in 1992. Since taking ownership of the Old Kenwood Schoolhouse, the fifth generation heirs of the original founder, brothers Barry and Brad Jacobs, have spared no expense in restoring and renovating the historic building. Even with a few cosmetic changes, the exterior of the schoolhouse still remains in its authentic condition. Inside, the building has been uniquely updated.
Besides our wonderful wines, the tasting room offers a multitude of items to peruse. We also offer a variety of gourmet delights, including mustards, oils and other wine country fare. Enjoy your new finds on one of our many picnic tables. Stretch out on the lush lawn, play a round of croquet, or give in to a little siesta in the shade while enjoying the idyllic beauty of the surrounding Sonoma Valley.
