HelloCello & Prohibition Spirits

HelloCello claims to have been Sonoma’s first operating distillery after Prohibition. The family-run company produces brandy, grappa and eau di vie, but it’s best known for its Limoncello di Sonoma: a slightly sweet, slightly tart liqueur traditionally produced in southern Italy. In wine country, the aperitif is distilled in a custom still using organic lemons, biodynamic grappa, agave sugar and water from a small network of local farms and suppliers. HelloCello shares a tasting room with Prohibition Spirits, a micro-distillery making whiskey, rum and vodka. Sample spirits from both at Cornerstone Sonoma, where you can also wander among fragrant citrus and herbs in the cocktail garden.
