“My wife and my two daughters went to their Tasting Room Today off of River road in Fulton CA. Scott Henry was our host. Thank you scott for the wonderful tasting and such a great time. The Alexander family who owns Sanglier cellars makes some wonderful wines. You won't be disappointed.“
“Delicious wine and knowledgeable staff!“
“Wonderful experience at the winery! Great selection and explanations of the wines by Max. Hidden gem of a winery! Beautiful and private setting. Highly recommend.“
“Was a little skeptical heading here for a tasting (given that it's not in a vineyard), but was pleasantly surprised at not only the atmosphere but also the wine and pairings. TJ did a fantastic job walking us though the selections and sharing the story of the family and how they farm and harvest. Love this place!“
“As always, Emeritus provides an excellent tasting experience by combining their wonderful vineyard selections with a comprehensive presentation of what goes into the construction of each wine. It is the ultimate balance between science and artistic capability. An appropriate education within each glass poured. -Patrick Edwards“
“Our experience here was nothing short of fantastic! We came with 10 people and they were so accommodating. The venue is great, the wine delicious, and the service too notch!! Anthony was so knowledgable and friendly, our group really appreciated the details he shared about growing, harvesting, and processing the grapes. 10/10 recommend! I think we all left with a bottle - you MUST try their Unoaked Chardonnay!“
“Of all the tasting rooms and wineries my group went to, this was definitely my favorite and the most memorable. Kerith and her loyal rescue dog, Chewie, really make the experience an unforgettable one. The table was prepared beautifully and Kerith really brought the energy. The Zinfandel is the best I've ever had and wish I had gone home with more bottles but knew I could only go home with 12 bottles by the end of the trip & this was only Day 1! When I got home from my trip, I had a personalized card waiting for me in the mail from Kerith that was so kind which ensured that I would definitely be back sooner rather than later. Me and Chewie have a bond that can't be broken & I'm looking forward to rekindling our friendship soon.“
“What a gem of a wine stop in a beautiful spot! Super unique wine cave with excellent varietals. We got a tour with the owner himself! Really amazing history of Sonoma county wines. All the way to the beginning! If you're looking for something unique and memorable, take advantage of this experience. You can just stop by and enjoy a bottle with friends in the beautiful Sebastopol outdoors next to the 9 hole golf course. Another affordable gem of West county!“
“Visited Thomas George Estates recently and had a wonderful time exploring the location in the Russian River Valley. The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting with kind attentive guides walking through the tasting room experience. It is one of the best local spots to visit if you are in the area since it feels so community oriented. The regional setting made for a peaceful outing without feeling rushed or commercial. Will definitely return.“
“Great, full bodied Zinfandels. We loved everything we tasted. If you’re a zin fan, Rockpile is a must visit.
We particularly enjoyed the wines made by Diane, the co-owner.
Nicole in the tasting room was as friendly and knowledgeable as we could have imagined, too.“
“Beautiful property and amazing wine. Shelly hosted us and was so knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We joined the wine club - LOVED IT“
“We had such a lovely experience day tasting wine with the special food pairings. We will be adding this as necessary stop for our yearly gals vacation.“
“We enjoyed our tasting outside at the picnic tables with the official winery cats. Jeff shared information about the history of the winery and vineyards that produce their wines. He also shared information about which local wineries had live music over the weekend. A great afternoon.“
“Porter Creek Winery was such a peaceful gem and one of the highlights of our wine country trip. The team (Crystal) went above and beyond to accommodate us, even staying a little late so we could enjoy the experience — and we’re so grateful they did!
The setting was absolutely stunning — quiet, serene, and surrounded by natural beauty. It was the kind of view that makes you want to take a deep breath and stay a while. The wines were just as memorable, especially the Zinfandels — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.
To top it all off, we were greeted by Poppy, the sweetest dog who made the whole experience even more charming. Between the warm hospitality, the incredible wines, and the peaceful ambiance, it was the perfect way to wind down our day.
Highly recommend Porter Creek for anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate tasting experience with a personal touch.“
“An unforgettable winery experience! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing their passion and expertise with every pour. The wines were outstanding, each showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and quality. To top it off, the property was absolutely stunning—beautiful vineyard views and a charming atmosphere made the visit even more special. A must-visit for any Chardonnay and Pinot Noir lover!“
“Live this place. Member for 10 years. Enjoy it every time I come!“
“First class wines! Very knowledgeable staff! Beautiful views!“
“Had a wonderful tour and tasting with Kat. Loved the history, philosophy of the winery/vineyard and current wine making practices. The food and wine pairings were spot on. Our entire grow up (6 in all) lives EVERY wine we were served which usually doesn’t happen. It was all so well balanced and smooth and just extraordinarily made. Truly a treasured find.“
“Outstanding experience at the Headelsburg tasting room, thanks to Tony, our primary server, and Joe. Experienced exceptional wines and we learned so much about the varietals and history of the vineyard. Great conversation, too. Williamson was the highlight of our short stay in Headelsburg.“
“amazing wines, the owners are super personable and helpful, the charcuterie and the sangria were delicious!🍷🥂 5 star by far⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
“Phenomenal setting in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Stick with the Pinots. Will be back (tomorrow).“
“Great 5 star tour by Rick!!“
“As always great seeing our friends at Dutton. Lynn was there who got us started over 2 years ago. We took a friend to pick up some wine and we were treated to the best Pinots from the Russian River and beyond. McDougal was our high note for the afternoon.“
“Amazing wine tasting in a natural beautiful environment“
“This was a fantastic outing for our group of 7. The seating for our tasting was in a covered area the surrounded by the growing vines. Our tasting consisted of 5 varieties. Andy gave us a truly informative history and background of the vineyard and each wine that we tasted. It became apparent the love and passion behind each wine that the winery produced. LImerick Lanes Cellars is really a boutique winery as they produce only a small number of barrels for each variety. It was truly a wonderful experience.“
“Great wine! Easy to ride to !“
“We had a great experience and highly recommend a visit! Our host/guide, Season, was terrific! She was very knowledgeable, approachable and engaging! We left with a new appreciation for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines! The beautiful setting, combined with the warm hospitality, made for a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon of wine tasting! We'd return when we visit Sonoma again!“
“Flanagan is one of our favorite wineries - anywhere. And Tara is the most amazing, warm, friendly, personable, and authentic host you can ask for. She takes care of us every time we’re there, and our friends even when we’re not. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, and the wine is extraordinary. They should not be able to make such different varietals and styles - Pinots, Chardonnays, Syrahs, Cabs, and more - so well, but they do. Each one is an impeccable expression of that particular varietal but with their signature profile ever present: clean, elegant, and with a stunning depth of flavor. Flanagan is an underrated gem in Sonoma but it shouldn’t be. It’s a Tier 1 production.“
“We truly enjoyed our tasting experience at Aperture. The facilities and setting are unique and are designed with purpose to reflect the owners experiences. The wines were fantastic. Bonus, when we got home to Tampa we discovered that Jacksons Bistro had Aperture wines on their wine list. Needless to say, well, Jacksons need to order more from Aperture!“
“Good wines and a great location and view. Highly recommend the Vineyard if you are in the area…“
“Still thinking about this spot since visiting last week! Brought some family in town after trying one of their delicious wines at a nearby restaurant. We enjoyed the beautiful wines, the cozy fun tasting room, the lovely doggo Soup and Eric led us through a tasting. We genuinely loved getting to know about him & his wife’s story and their love for wine and their brand. Joined the wine club and I am already looking forward to my next visit. If you’re visiting Healdsburg and want a personal experience this is the place people!!“

“Definitely come here for some lovely laidback tasting! Outdoor and indoor seating options, with AMAZING barberas and zinfandels!
Jan was awesome and gave us perfect recommendations 🎉 so good we had to take a couple of bottles to go!
The charcuterie was *chefs kiss* definitely grab that for the table.
According to my aunt, don’t skip smelling the candles 🕯️“
“Such a lovely, casual Sunday. We brought our lunch, had a tasting in the Adirondacks in the shade of the redwoods, listening to great jazz/ funk on an otherwise lazy day. The price point is as palatable as their wine. Thank you, Hook and Ladder!“
“My husband and I had a wonderful wine tasting with Geoff last week during a getaway. We enjoyed learning about the history of the winery and trying a pinot flight. We shared our tasting with two other women on a trip which made for a fun experience. We also got a cheese board which was amazing and we appreciated having the option to get some food while trying the wine. The cheeses were great and well paired with the wine.“
“I wish we had more time here! Stopped by quickly, by request of my dad on the way by, but so calm, quaint, down to earth, beautiful!!“
“Love the atmosphere and champagnes !! Joined my first wine club with them !!“
“We had an awesome tasting yesterday at this amazing winery. Robin was very friendly and excited about the different types of wines. She explained all the options throughly. We can not wait to get back home to try our selections for different dinners. Thanks again for everything.“
“Even though I visited the tasting room at the end of the day, I was greeted by our smiling host Darriene with a glass of Merriam 25th Anniversary Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine. Even though we did not have enough time to have a full tasting, she accommodated us with a high-energy, abbreviated version that was well over the expectation. During this time, we had a surprise visitor drop by our table to introduce himself- Peter Merriam himself! Some of my favorites during the tasting were the Semillon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and a very limited production Petit Verdot. There are many great takeaways from this organically farmed estate: from the friendly greeting of dogs and the tranquility of the property to their polished hospitality, you're in good hands.“
“Fun time. Awesome grounds too.“
“David/pirate is a great joy he is very knowledgeable and great company I had a great 5 with him and it was because of him that made me want to join the club plus the cider being great and great products to taste! Coming back for sure and bringing friends to experience the homely feeling and joy!!“
“Such a fabulous tasting with Angela! Loved the addition of the record player in the tasting room - so fun! And the wines are great! Loved the Chenin Blanc especially. And always the Chloe Chardonnay. We even had the surprise of meeting Andy Smith too! Highly recommend.“

“Fate led us here on our last night in California, and we are so glad it did, because we had such an amazing time! Everything about it was wonderful, from the hospitality to the wine to the company 💜 The only thing we missed out on were the hot dogs, but we'll be back someday!“
“Such an amazing experience! We had the best time at Gary Farrell. The winery is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous views, and everything just felt so relaxed and welcoming.
Michael was our host, and he was fantastic! You could tell how passionate he is about the wines, and he shared so much information without it ever feeling like a lecture. We all learned a ton, asked lots of questions, and he made the whole tasting fun and interactive.
One of my favorite little touches was that they had blankets out for guests. We had an earlier tasting, and it was a little chilly, so having those waiting for us was perfect. It’s such a small thing, but it really shows they think about the guest experience.
The wines were incredible, the charcuterie paired perfectly, and our whole group left saying how much we loved it. If you’re in Sonoma and looking for a winery with amazing wine, beautiful scenery, and genuinely wonderful people, definitely put Gary Farrell on your list. We’ll absolutely be back!“
“Great wines. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.“
“The Wine Road is where it's at. Having run 3 different tourist friendly businesses in Sonoma County for the last 20 years, I depend on the hard work of the Wine Road. The amount of traffic that Beth and her team have driven towards my businesses is stellar.“
“We unfortunately had to last minute cancel our reservation bc I was experiencing a flare up. So they didn't miss out on another reservation or walk in I emailed the winery. The owner of this winery truly cares about customer service and the people who want to visit! What a kind human! We will definitely visit next time we are in CA and I'm so sad I missed them this time.“
“J Vineyards & Winery offers a beautiful and relaxing outdoor tasting experience. The setting is peaceful and elegant, making it the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the wines. The sparkling wines were especially impressive, crisp, beautifully balanced, and very enjoyable. The service was knowledgeable and attentive without feeling rushed. A lovely destination for anyone who appreciates excellent sparkling wine in a gorgeous Wine Country setting.“
“Beautiful wines! Keith was a top notch host, friendly, informative and interesting. Thank you!“

“My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Evan last week and we had such an amazing time. It was like talking with an old friend, so easy we had a wonderful time and before we knew it 1.5 hours has passed. You can tell that he loves what he does and he happily explained how he got into the wine business and you could just see how much he loved what he did. He even gave us a tour of the facility as we drank wine. The wines, they were amazing we love Pinot and we loved them so much that we joined his wine club, which speaks for itself as I haven't belonged to a club in sometime. If you are looking for a great Pinot and to chat with someone who is passionate about what they do, then book the tasting!!“
