Upon entering Michel-Schlumberger Wines, visitors get an impression of a Spanish-style mission complete with a central patio courtyard and fountain. This winery is committed to sustainable wine growing through the implementation of sheep for mowing, chickens for bug control and bio-diesel made with used cooking oil. It has been deemed a Fish Friendly Farm as well as a Wildlife and Bird Sanctuary and gained CCOF recognition in 2010. As for Michel-Schlumberger's wines, they have recently recieved a Gold (2007 Le Source Syrah) and Bronze (2006 La Cime Cabernet Sauvignon) Medal at this year's Sonoma County Harvest Fair.

One of the first and most impressive things about Stonestreet is the tree-lined driveway. As you move to the large, open-space tasting facility, you notice how charming the contemporary design is -- not too much or too little. Overall, Stonestreet is a warm and inviting place to visit.
