The barn-turned-tasting room contained historic Sonoma Rodeo and Larson Family memorabilia, and the Larson family described the loss as “catastrophic.’
Larson Family Winery was once home to the Sonoma Rodeo, where famed horse trainer Buster Millerick, who worked with Seabiscuit, learned to ride. The barn once used for the rodeo was converted into the winery’s 1,600-square-foot tasting room. The building was adorned with memorabilia that tells the story of five-generations of the family in Sonoma and was the exclusive place to buy Larson Family wine.
The building was closed when the fire erupted, so there weren’t any injuries.
