First, amazing Pinot!! I mean all of them (although I have my favs), and that's everything. Second, an adorable tasting room in the quaint village of Glen Ellen. that looks and feels like your visiting your best friends. Third, Grayson! Professional, informative, generous, and super fun! And lastly, I have to give kudos to the whole team for their generous support of community nonprofits. Having been to their tasting room and purchased their wines, when I saw their donation of a private at-home tasting at the Giant Steps Therapeutic Equestrian auction, I made sure to be the successful bidder. It was an amazing experience for me and my guests. Thank you @talismanwine and Grayson!

Must see in Glen Ellen. Excellent wines, and great staff.

Our first time visit to the tasting room at Talisman Wines was exquisite indeed. Grayson and John were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. My husband and I were already big fans of Talisman Wines but today's supreme wine-tasting experience went beyond my best expectations. Do put a visit to Talisman Wines on your list for a top wine-tasting and viticultural learning experience.

Small production of pinot noir from a wide variety of vineyards in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. You will definitely find several that you will like. They also have several vintages availability which is unusual and a real treat. Located in a cute house in the heart of Glen Ellen. A little out of the way but worth the drive.

One of the best wine tasting room experiences ever. Grayson and Amanda were not only extremely knowledgeable... but were graciously kind and followed our pallet. There was a group that came in of 9 ladies who were clearly already intoxicated. They were rude to Grayson and proceeded to say their experience was mediocre. One of them fell in the bathroom. I say this bc they threatened to write a negative review and I don't want that to be the case. Talisman is amazing and Amanda and G do a great job of representing the vineyard. Highly recommend.

Awesome experience. Kris was very knowledgeable and extremely enthusiastic about what she wanted to serve. Gave us some terrific advice to steer us towards our likes and preferences. Thanks again! We really enjoyed our conversation and the wine!

Went to Talisman a couple weeks back and it was the best experience we had in Napa. Amanda was amazing and very knowledgeable. The wines were fantastic and Amanda consistently provided wines that matched each individual's pallet. This is the only wine club we joined out of the 15 plus wineries we went to.

We were lucky to visit when Martha (co-owner) was there. She was a super host and answered our numerous questions and made us try their key wines. Awesome Pinot Noirs! They also experiment with Nebbiolo (Italian native grape variety), that was interesting. Good experience for PN lovers.

The hubby and I had an appointment (the only way to go when tasting) and were greeted cheerfully by Grayson. The tasting room is very homey and cozy. The bathrooms are clean and it appears that everything us handicapped-accessible. Pinot Noir is our fave and we were not disappointed. Wonderful flavors with each wine being a little different here and there from the others. Well priced and worth it!

Our experience with Talisman Winery was fantastic. The pinot noir is some of the best I’ve had and the rose (a surprise)was extraordinary.Marta who owns the winery with her husband is a lovely person who also supports local artists at her tasting room by displaying jewelry and artwork.I highly recommend you try their wines. If you live in North Jersey you can find them at Xplor wine in Demarest. If you are able to visit Marta at their tasting room you should. You won’t be disappointed.

My wife and I own Xplor Wine in Demarest NJ and have carried Talisman Pinot Noir since we opened in October 2019. We already knew Talisman crafted amazing Pinot Noirs, but we have never visited their beautiful tasting room in Glen Ellen, CA. For context, we've visited approximately 200 wineries/tasting rooms in the last 20+ years and can definitively say that our recent visit was one of our best experiences ever. If you love Pinot Noir, we highly recommend you schedule an appointment. If you're lukewarm about about Pinot Noir, visiting Talisman could turn you into a rabid fan.

My husband, Giant (our chihuahua) and I have been wine club members for a long time now. We fell in love with their wine the moment we tasted them. Amanda is always so professional, sweet and warm. We no longer live in San Francisco (we're now in the Palm Springs area) but have kept our wine club cause we love them so much!!!!! If you're a lover of Pinots, this is the place!!!!

My husband and I did a wine tasting at Talisman. The tasting room and experience is located in the quaint town of Glen Ellen. We were fortunate to have Marta educate us on their family business that includes an extensive selection of Pinot Noirs. The wines are wonderful and we really enjoyed the intimate tasting experience and the hospitality at Talisman Wine. We highly recommend visiting this winery on your next trip to the Sonoma area!
