Our bookclub stayed here and it was pure perfection. Getting both houses allowed us flexibility for all needs. Pool, spa, kitchen and of course wine tasting. We were able to get cozy and relax and even walk around the vineyard. Highly recommend for any event. So quiet and relaxing. My vote extra sticky monkey- trust me!
I don’t normally write reviews—but Stonehouse Cellars absolutely deserves one. A group of four friends and I stopped in for a tasting, and from the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such genuine warmth that it completely set the tone for an unforgettable experience.
I’ve been to quite a few wineries over the years, and I can honestly say I’ve never felt more at home than I did here. Greg, the owner, treated us like family—like we were his own kids. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, engaged, and enjoying ourselves. That kind of hospitality is rare, and it made the visit truly special. A lot of the bigger wineries always seem to want to get through the tasting. Not Stonehouse, they invited us to stay longer and hang out with them!
And the wine? Incredible. Every pour was balanced, complex, and memorable. Some of the best wine I’ve had in a long time. You can tell how much care and craftsmanship goes into each bottle.
The property itself is also stunning. The tasting room and surrounding grounds are thoughtfully designed and full of character. It’s the kind of place where you want to slow down, take it all in, and just enjoy good wine with good company.
We had such a great time that we’re already making plans to come back. If you’re thinking about visiting, do it. It’s an experience you wouldn’t regret.
My family has been going up to Clear Lake since the 70's. I haven't been able to get up there as much as I'd like, but was able to spend a couple post-Christmas days at the lake house with my wife and in-laws. My sister, who gets to the lake far more often than I do, recommended Stonehouse Cellars as a spot to visit...
I'm in the wine business - been in wine retail and hospitality for over 20 years - so I know good service and hospitality when I experience it. I can say that we had an amazing visit at Stonehouse.
The tasting room is fantastic - beautifully designed and appointed - very welcoming and comfortable. Has amazing views. We were there on a cold & rainy day and so were not able to walk the grounds or sit outside, but I looks like a great place to hang out, rain or shine.
The wines were also very impressive. We shared 3 flights and got a few extra pours, so we tasted 15-20 wines. I was most impressed by the Cabernets. What I enjoyed the most was doing the Cab flight, which allows you to taste 4 Cabs side by side that were aged in different types of oak. Very informative!
What made the visit so special, though, was our hostess, Heather. She was friendly, welcoming and amazingly knowledgable about, not only the winery and wines, but the history of the area. She wowed us with her passion and knowledge and her multi-faceted talents - pastry chef, scientist, opera singer - all rolled into one. She brought all these skills to the table (pun intended) during our tasting visit. She even allowed us to check out one of the guest rooms - highly recommended.
As a parting gift, she sang us a song - in Italian! We had a choice between Italian or French - went with Italian. Is there anything Heather can't do??
What a memorable visit! We'll be back and highly recommend you visit as well.
Incredible hidden gem winery can't recommend enough!!
Incredible to visit for wine tasting or to stay the weekend. Beautiful environment around the hills and vineyard. Isolated in the best possible way, and still close to amenities in nearby Clearlake. The wine is next level delicious, as is the home cooked and professionally delivered breakfast options. We love coming back here.
Great place
This is the best wine experience I have had this far and bonus was a loving cat that stole my heart away... ❤️❤️ Would highly highly recommend. Do call early and ask them for food as they have to prep early on. So cool and Britney was so good and polite and she provided us with so much information. ❤️❤️❤️
Robert was very informative and accommodating! Be sure you have a vehicle capable of a rough, steep, winding road before you attempt a visit!
Their sunshine wine is the best, lite not too sweet can enjoy anywhere all occasions.
We live in Lake County and try to explore the local wineries when we a weekend off together. We visited Stonehouse Cellars on a windy but breezy Sunday afternoon in July. Stonehouse is on a long, winding, drive off the main road, which was perfect because we like being away from crowds when we go tasting. We were warmly greeted by Brittany, who I later learned was the chef. Roberto then led us through some splendid tastings of both reds and whites with interesting explanations of the wines, their interesting names, and lots of discussion of the terroir. He has a relaxed, friendly approach to wine tasting backed up a great fund of knowledge. The inside setting is cozy, with panoramic views of the vineyards and gardens. The presence of a Tesla charging station was a draw for us as well. We left with a few bottles of our favorites. We will definitely be back!

Two of my friends and I went to Stonehouse Cellars for the 1st time a week ago. We were pleasantly surprised to find this little gem off the beaten path outside of Clearlake, CA. Roberto our sommelier was very nice, he explained each tasting, answered our questions and told us about the BnB on the property. They have a good variety of wines. We bought a glass of wine after tastings and had a picnic lunch (which we brought) on the shaded back patio.
We stumbled upon this amazing winery on our last day visiting the area. We did not make a reservation but they gladly welcomed us for a tasting. Roberto was an excellent host. He was very informative of the wines available for tasting and even accommodated to some of our wine preferences. The grounds were quaint and welcoming. The entire experience was comfortable and easy. They also have lodging available which I look forward to planning a trip back to stay.
We initially came here this weekend for a private event at Stonehouse, we loved the winery so much we decided to stop by again the next day for a tasting with Roberto. A wonderful winery with beautiful views of spring valley, truly a wonderful experience.
