14 Best Wineries in Glen Ellen

“Chris is such a character in the best meaning possible for the phrase. His candidness is refreshing and his humor is delightful. The wines are absolutely wonderful and his patience to answer questions and share his love of his craft is icing on the cake.“

“Wine was absolutely good rich on flavor.everyone was very nice and I love their patio“

“Our group enjoyed the biodynamic tractor ride. Darryl was our driver/ host and he was so knowledgeable, he made it very entertaining. We throughly enjoyed every wine in the tasting. Out of our trip including 6 wineries we all picked Benziger the best for presentation, experience, and tasting. We will definitely be back!“

“Laurel Glen is a must stop in Sonoma! Wines are outstanding without the extreme price tag, Nick and others in the tasting room are very knowledgeable and accommodating, and they have an extensive selection of library wines that many other wineries do not offer!“

“Wine Snob is a true gem in Glen Ellen, CA. We toured many fine vineyards during our trip to Sonoma and this was our last stop. The owner was there to personally delight us with his expertise and passion for wine. Well done Wine Snob. This is a must taste stop!“

“**Lasseter Family Winery is absolutely worth a visit.** It captures that classic Sonoma Valley feel — where the focus is truly on the **varietals, the land, and the story behind the wines.**

The labels and wine names are creative, fun, and memorable — a refreshing twist that adds to the charm. My team and I had a fantastic time with **Mike** last week. His knowledge and hospitality made the experience even better.

We **highly recommend** adding Lasseter to your Sonoma itinerary!

“Wow. What a great little winery. Quaint, comfortable, and a beautiful location. The Sauvignon Blanc was delightful. The Petit Sirah-Zin was wonderful. They don't have food, but you can bring your own. We had some great snacks to go with our tastings. Great place to relax and enjoy some great wine.“

“What a delicious Merlot. Beautiful soft tannins with rich dark fruit. Easy 94 rating on this 2017. If you are in Sonoma/Glen Ellen, go see LauraLee, she’s as amazing as this wine.“

“We had a great tasting at Talisman Winery on Wednesday. As someone who regularly drinks Pinot Noir (and has made my own Pinot Noir), I always enjoy visiting Talisman and tasting their Pinot Noirs. They have been making great Pinots for decades. They poured us four different Pinots and I particularly loved the 2018 Adastra Pinot Noir. Marta is a great host! I strongly recommend visiting them!“

“We love Passaggio Wines! Cindy and Carole are fantastic. Great patio, and they offer music on weekends, and you can even bring your own picnic. You can’t beat the wines, and they make some really interesting blends. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Glen Ellen.“

“The wines were incredible, and John was a wonderful host! He offered great descriptions and context for everything we tasted, and knowledgeably answered all of our questions about the winemaking process. The building itself is clean, beautiful and inviting — with lovely views of the vineyard and hills. So glad this was one of our stops!“

“Tanya was kind and knowledgeable. She had to break the news that the port is no longer in production, which was heartbreaking. Yearly, that was our takeaway purchase. Imagery was the first winery that my husband and I both enjoyed and agreed on our selections. Shot out to Tanya and thank you for easing out sadness with Code Blue and all our treats! ?“

“We had such a wonderful afternoon at the beautiful B.R. Cohn Winery, where we enjoyed a tasting of four exceptional wines while taking in the views from the patio and learning about the unique musical history of this property. A highlight was when we were invited to take a walk around the grounds with our wine, checking out the scenery as well as memorabilia from the Doobie Brothers and other musical acts who have performed there. Just lovely!“
