Dutcher Crossing Winery

We had such a lovely experience at Ducher this weekend! We initially visited to play pétanque over a bottle of wine, and ended up enjoying it so much that we returned later in the weekend for a full tasting.

Mary O. helped us on both visits and she truly made the experience special. Her recommendations were spot on. She struck the perfect balance of being knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely fun to chat with. I’m excited to visit again!

Spectacular location & views!
Charisse, our wine tasting guru has a wealth of knowledge and the wines were delicious!

Boutique winery. Beautiful setting overlooking the vineyard. Indoor bar and outdoor seating. Super friendly staff. Debra Mathy owned and run business since 2007. Dog friendly, able to sit with dogs outside. A few stuffed toys for dogs on the lawn.
The wines themselves include some award winners. The zinfandels are balanced, not too sweet or jammy. They have a great palate cleansing Chardonnay. New release Cabernet is to die for: goes well with anything, or even by itself.

What a gem. This is such a locals paradise. The view from the valley floor is breathtaking. Small lot wines mean so much care goes into every glass. Bring a picnic and plan to lose several hours of your life as you look the beauty of the Dry Creek Valley right in the eye. Join the club. You won't be disappointed. The hosts are impeccable.

I have commented on views so many times in my reviews on this trip but these OMG!!! It was a gorgeous day and it was fantastic. We had our tasting with Cherise and she was also FANTASTIC! She was so happy and knowledgeable. She gave us time to sit and enjoy everything around us and was able to point us to some items to taste before ordering. We loved their wine and joined the club and even though my husband can't remember the name of the winery he kept calling it the place with the great merch.....needless to say we also bought some merch! GO VISIT! It's beautiful and tasty!

Was my first time visiting California since I was a kid and it was worth it to visit a place like this. Stunningly beautiful views from this relaxing vineyard. The wine selection here was wonderful with the service attentative and fantastic. The best part? The owners are from Wisconsin, so they know how to make a good drink 😀

Had such a fun tasting here! Loved getting to try all the creative wines (it's not just pinot here) and couldn't have asked for a more friendly + convivial atmosphere. Plus, the outdoor space is just so pretty and relaxing on a nice day.

Absolutely loved our tasting at Dutcher Crossing Winery—the wines were incredible, and the views are pure Sonoma magic.

Huge shoutout to Mary Oertel for making the experience so special! Her knowledge, warmth, and passion brought every pour to life. You made us feel right at home, Mary! 🙌

If you’re wine tasting in the area, this spot is a gem. 🍇 #DutcherCrossing #SonomaWine #WineTastingMagic

Beautiful venue and fantastic wine. Hospitality left more to be desired.

Stunning vineyard and setup, we had a beautiful afternoon tasting here, but the hospitality was very disappointing. Super conservative pours, we were given two different wine lists for the tasting which confused us and the server after we were given a repeat and a bonus pour. If things close early here that was not communicated to us, but we were clearly rushed out. We loved the Chardonnay but heard nothing about it bc it was poured when I was in the restroom and our server never came back. The $40 tasting fee wasn’t waved despite us buying a case of wine and having a 2 for 1 card. bummer to have to push through such bad service because the wines were so lovely.

This winery was one of the most beautiful and tranquil experiences I have ever had in wine country. Located off the beaten path, Dutcher Crossing is located on a beautiful rolling estate. It's so peaceful and I really felt calm and in touch with nature there. The views and botanicals are breathtaking. The hospitality was top notch. While we were there, we were greeted by Mary and a young man whose name I don't remember (maybe Christian?) and they were both so kind. Mary encouraged us to take our time and enjoy the wine tasting, and tailored her selection to our tastes. Christian (?) offered to take our photo and made sure we were having a good experience. We had an A++ experience that wasn't rushed, high pressure, or condescending like you get at some wineries. And the wine itself was delicious! We purchased several bottles. We also purchased a lot of merchandise. The tasting room has such lovely, curated gifts. This winery was a one of a kind experience of the highest caliber, and we will definitely be coming back.

It was great. Good wine. Pretty location.

Everything about an experiece at Dutcher Crossing Winery leaves you feeling "On Cloud 9"! Be prepared to be mesmerized by the stunning hillside views and well landscaped property that overlook the vineyard. Staff is friendly and knowledgable and the winery dog shares her affection equally with all of the guests. The charcuterie board they prepared was beautifully presented with a delicious selection of meat, cheese, crackers and fruit. Between the gorgeous views and petting the labrador retriever...I was distracted from the wine. That distraction only lasted a moment until the first sip of their lovely sauvignon blanc that filled my mouth with declicate flavors of tropical fruit. We tasted through 5 of their wines and had to take all of them home with us. The tasting room also offers a shopping boutique where you can treat yourself to some stylish wearables not only for you, but your furry friend at home. I purchased a really neat dog collar created from a recycled bicycle tire, a cute sweatshirt and some stainless steel wine tumblers for the patio. Joining the wine club makes me feel connected to Dutcher Crossing all year long and it's like Christmas each time I receive a shipment. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Debra and the Dutcher Crossing team are amazing. Personal, attentive and fabulous wines for the price point. Try them all, because every bottle will wow you! Greg Fischer

Fantastic wines @reasonable prices, super friendly and no pressure staff. A must try when you are in the Dry Creek area.
