One of the first wineries in Sonoma Valley was the Larson Family Winery, dating back to 1899. On March 2nd, a fire started on the 23000 block of Millerick Road in Schellville, California, damaging the tasting room of the winery. No one was injured during the fire but the tasting room has been closed for the foreseeable future. The family has released a statement claiming the fire has caused damage to both the property and the history of the family in Sonoma due to several personal artifacts being lost in the fire. The fire was put out 15-20 minutes after the fire department had arrived.
