50 Best Wineries near Graton

“It’s all about family! Every time we visit it’s always a family feel The great wine is just a bonus..... highly recommend!!♥️“

“Wonderful. A thoughtful creation removed and isolated from the stagnant world of liqueurs. To say you pleasantly surprised would be dereliction of duty. You have astounded me. I stand ready to serve... many drinks to come. Warm regards for your mastery of skill and efforts.“

“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.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Bricoleur! We did the Rooted Tasting and they were very accommodating to my dietary restrictions of no pork/shellfish, and even better- that didn't make me sacrifice quality at all! The dishes were amazing, my husband said his scallop dish was his favorite thing he ate all trip.

It was all paired very well and we very much enjoyed our wines-- the pinots and the Isla Rose rosé were my favorites.

For anyone who doesn't want to do formal pairings, they also offer delicious pizzas and a bowl of french fries the size of my head. My toddler was in heaven.

The property is massive and stunning-- would be a great place for an event!

10/10 would recommend if you're visiting Healdsburg or Windsor!“

“Our tasting experience with Kyle was exceptional! Not only were the wines on point, you could really sense Kyle’s passion for DRNK and the industry in general. I was immediately won over when we were offered two different bubbles to start and our crew really appreciated how informative yet informal the experience was. It truly felt like friends chatting about food, wine, and culture while sipping some of the best juice around. So glad we found this place!

Ohhhh and the caves were so cool!!“

“Gigi was exceptionally good - if she didn’t know the history as well as she could have or deep knowledge of wine making she more than made up for it by being charming and friendly
, things you can’t teach. The wines are always outstanding - Hallberg Ranch one yard is my favorite wherever it is poured but best in your hands (and Gary Farrell’s). I’m local and always send friends to emeritus. That won’t stop“

“Highly recommend a personalized tasting with Kerith, the founder and winemaker of Bruliam. We tasted three of her 2023 Pinot Noirs, each grown in a different AVA in California, each delicious and well crafted. Best of all, each as unique as siblings—reflecting the winemaker’s successful desire to produce wines that reflect terroir. Though her specialty is Pinot noir, we sampled other wines, including her Zinfandel—a wine that has positively changed my perception of California Zin. Kerith is personable and smart. You can geek out on viticulture and learn a lot, or kick back and enjoy great wine and company.“

“Delicious wine and knowledgeable staff!“

“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.“

“Phenomenal setting in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Stick with the Pinots. Will be back (tomorrow).“

“Beautiful tasting room and property. Probably the nicest sit down side by side we did all trip. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, Bri was great!

I felt the wines were not as impressive here compared to other wineries we visited. I felt bottle prices were high. Could just be me though (not super experienced).“

“I highly recommend a visit to this winery! Megan was the perfect host. We requested indoor setting and were very pleased with the beautiful leather couches we were set up at. The pinot noirs are the signature and are beautiful and well liked, even by those who prefer bigger reds or cabs. We left with more bottles than we anticipated.“

“What do you get when you cross a mathematician with a grape? Perfect wine! Moshin wine shines with small volume meticulously crafted slow aged harvests. We were lucky to satiate our palates with phenomenal wines and spend our time with our host and wine docent Robin Froman. She is an amazing documentarian of this estate, its wine and wine educator. It wasn’t hard to choose to purchase wines. All around 5-star experience.“

“My boyfriend and I made a reservation after I’d driven by and seen that they specialize in sparkling wines, and we are so glad we did. We loved getting to speak with Randy, the winemaker and owner, as he walked us through the wines that he clearly put so much love and care into. It’s obvious he only wants to make wines that he himself would drink (hence all of his wines being organic!) and that passion is infectious. Would 10,000% recommend if you want an intimate experience of the kind of people who make Sonoma Valley wine so great.“

“Came here for a Chamber mixer as it's one of my favorite wineries in the world. So many great childhood memories of Korbel. The tours are fantastic. The winery is down to earth. The redwoods are magical. The view of the vineyards spectacular. Delicious deli food. I don't even drink wine and just love coming here for all the other wonderful things this historic winery has to offer! 💕“

“Wow, one of the best wine tastings I’ve ever done. The winery is organic, uses sustainable farming & harvesting practices, and even the structures they’ve built use reclaimed wood and as many local materials as possible. It’s woman-owned and made; we loved hearing the story of how Kathleen started the vineyard in ‘99. Meredith was our host, and she was extremely hospitable, inquisitive, knowledgeable, just a lot of fun. She read the room (or the patio in our case) perfectly and seemed to appear at just the right moment for the next glass. This is the kind of business that I want to support.“

“The absolute best experience. Do yourself a favor and skip all the big name wineries and visit this absolute gem of a place. Had the best time visiting with the owner, Mrs. Sue. So knowledgeable and hospitable. Wish I could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend.“

“Great wine! Easy to ride to !“

“I wish I could remember the name of our host, because he was great, and knowledgeable especially for someone his age. Early 20s, from Santa Rosa, dark hair. He made the tasting extra fun by humoring two middle age ladies, and was happy to take some unique photos. We really appreciated the hospitality and had a blast.“

“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!“

“We went there Today for My 44th Birthday. I have had the Pinot Noir before. I know I’d be taking some bottles home. That being said Josh, Our Host, server and cook was kind, knowledgeable, prompt, fun & Friendly. We had the Whamola Weiners (sorry if I spelled that wrong). They were Pretty great! The Dutch Crunch buns were the best part for Me. Classed up Trashy food I LOVE IT 😉!

If You haven’t checked out the “Library List” do your self a favor and take a Vintage bottle ( or 4) home.

I had the Best day. Thanks Josh & the Purple Pachyderm Team!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had a wonderful experience tasting the Merriam wines today and touring the vineyard with Peter Merriam . It was a pleasure to learn about their certified organic growing practices and their beautiful wines. We highly recommend a visit here.“

“Live this place. Member for 10 years. Enjoy it every time I come!“

“I recently enjoyed a fantastic wine tour with David. His knowledge and passion for wine made the experience unforgettable. David took us to picturesque vineyards, shared fascinating insights, and tailored the tour to our preferences. It was a fun and educational day filled with great wine and good company. Highly recommend! Thank you, David!“

“So unfortunately we couldn’t go, they were booked. However, they were the NICEST people, gave us some great recommendations. We got a tiny pour of something very good while they made some reservations for us. They have a beautiful view and we’d love to try them next time we’re up that way. I just wanted to take a moment to express our group’s appreciation for their excellent care of not-quite-customers.“

“My family has been on DuMol's mailing list for years and I've thankfully had the opportunity to try different bottlings throughout the years. I FINALLY got the chance to visit as I was back home for some time and the tasting experience was phenomenal. Erin was one of the most engaging, fun, and insightful people I've had the pleasure of tasting with. We spent a few hours seeing the production facility and tasting room and every minute was fantastic.

I cannot recommend visiting here enough. The wines are next level Pinot Noir, the people are welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable, and the experience as a whole is just pure joy.

Visit here next time you're in the Napa/Sonoma area.“

“exquisite grounds and excellent service from Leo. be sure to ask him for wine pairing advice. he really knows his stuff and explains all his choices.
The wines were very good. the reserve Chardonnay is a good choice even if you are not a white wine drinker“

“We were visiting California but were concerned about stopping at a vineyard with a 13 yo and 11 yo twin children in tow. This was the perfect place. Relaxed atmosphere with nice wines and the kids were completely fine (big sigh of relief)! Highly recommend for adults wanting to experience a bit of California’s wine country and a reprieve from all the kid oriented activities.“

“Amazing wine tasting in a natural beautiful environment“

“One of my favorite wineries. Such a hidden gem. The owner was super nice and very fun to chat with. The experience was very relaxing and intimate. Went here with my brother a few years ago and looking to go back next time I'm in the area. I thought I was only a white wine girly but was blown away by the cab!“

“J Winery has been one of my favorite places in Sonoma for years, and I’ve proudly been a member for at least the last three. The wines are consistently excellent, but it’s the full experience that makes this place stand out.

The Bubble Room is truly exceptional—Chef Forest creates beautifully paired bites that turn a tasting into a full culinary journey. It’s a must if you’re visiting. The Legacy Lounge also deserves a mention—the cheese pairings there are thoughtful and delicious, and I’ve spent more than one solo afternoon enjoying them with a view.

The setting is gorgeous, the wine is top-notch, and the staff goes above and beyond. Casey, in particular, has made our last two visits especially memorable with warmth and impeccable service.

If you’re in Sonoma, J Winery should be on your list. And if you can, treat yourself to the Bubble Room experience. It’s unforgettable.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting K Squared Wine Cellars, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that our group felt welcomed and comfortable throughout the evening.The ambiance of the cellar was simply delightful, with cozy seating areas and elegant decor creating the perfect atmosphere for celebration. The selection of wines was impressive, catering to a variety of tastes and preferences. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or a casual drinker, there's something for everyone at K Squared.But what truly set this experience apart was the personalized attention given to the birthday boy. The staff took the time to make him feel special, going out of their way to ensure that his celebration was memorable. From recommending his favorite wines to surprising him with a thoughtful gesture, every detail was carefully considered.Overall, I can't recommend K Squared Wine Cellars enough. Whether you're looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a glass of wine with friends or planning a special celebration, you won't be disappointed. The impeccable service, exquisite wines, and welcoming atmosphere make it a standout destination in the world of wine.“

“My wife and I had a great time tasting. Ruthanne was charming and cheerful and added details about the wines, winery and turkeys. It turns out she is conversant in native turkey chatter.

We bought some Fog Dance Pinot and sat out overlooking the vineyards while enjoying a bottle. Absolutely delightful.“

“Matrix Winery is located on a beautiful property just outside of Healdsburg in northern Sonoma County. Like many of the wineries in this region, pinot noir is a specialty of theirs, but zinfandel and chardonnay are also strong contenders. I was a member for the last three years, and each bottle was quality.

One of the reasons I joined Matrix’s wine club is how much I love their outdoor patio and its view. It's also an affordable tasting at $25. Don't hesitate to ask if you want to taste something other than straight pinot or zin, too! I quite liked a recent 50-50 petit sirah and zinfandel blend.“

“This was one of the most wonderful catered events I have attended in recent memory! My spouse and I hosted a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner for my son and his new spouse at DArgenzio Winery in Santa Rosa in early June of 2025. There were 35 attendees and we were catered to in the Cibo Rustico event room with a wine bar, relaxing music, bocci ball and incredible service. We selected numerous authentic Italian appetizers such as Vegan Salad, Ceasar's Salad, Rustic Fire Grilled Vegetables, Brochette breads, Caprisi Salad, and Pasta with Bolagnese and Pasta with Pesto sauces. That was followed by three delectable pizza selections (Margarita, Italian sausage and Pepperoni) and polished off with two desert selections of Chocolate Mouse and Tiramisu. Everyone in attendance was in awe of the dishes and ate until their hearts were content. We drank the DArgenzio Pinot Noir, Red Blend and Sauvignon Blanc and they were all terrific. I had forgotten that there was such a thing as "customer service" ever since the Covid19 debacle but the staff blew our socks off with friendly, attentive, professional and nurturing service for all members of the party. This was truly some of the best service I have ever seen and I would highly recommend this establishment. The cost was completely reasonable. My favorite parting shot of the event was watching all of our happy guests leave the event with boxes of awesome leftover food, bottles of extra wine and giant smiles on their face! Thank you DArgenzio Winery for making my Son's Wedding Rehearsal Dinner an unforgettable and epic event!“

“Beautiful wines! Keith was a top notch host, friendly, informative and interesting. Thank you!“

“My girlfriend Angelica and I had such a wonderful and memorable experience at Taddei Wines. The owners Chris and Dana gave us a private tasting and immediately welcomed us like we were family.
Because of his superior reputation, his generous spirit and active nvolvment in the local wine community, Chris has access to some of the best Vineyards in Sonoma and Napa. His Wines are consistently balanced, complex, yet unique and deliciously distinct in flavor and profile. There truly is no other wine like his in this area.
During the tasting, His passion for winemaking came through as he had us try different vintages of the same varietal and on numerous occassions, he pulled barrel samples of wine that was in various stages of aging and development.
Both Chris and Dana were so generous and kindhearted that the afternoon passed by effortlessly and before we knew it, we had been there for hours. Special shout out to club members James and Nina, who encouraged us to give Taddei Wines a try.
We happily joined the club and look forward to drinking their wine and visiting when possible. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get in every bottle. I highly recommend you give this small boutique winery a try. Thank you Chris and Dana for being such wonderful and generous people that make fantastic and excellent wine.“

“Having a wonderful time with my friend who’s birthday 🥳 it is and moving away. Service is fabulous, music is wonderful, and just having a wonderful time in this wonderful atmosphere.“

“My brother made reservations while we were going to a few wineries in the area.

The day we went was a tad rainy but the weather made the experience more special.

We were greeted by a cute grey tabby while we waited for our table.

Once seated we were welcomed with delicious wines and great ambience.

Slowly other wine tasters left and our group was the last.

Super charming and personalable winery.

Not to mention the wine will blow your socks off.

Highly recommend!“

“Had a lovely afternoon at DeLoach last week. Rick was an excellent host! We were greeted with sparkling Chardonnay and tasted wines from different appellations including the Estate Pinot Noir - one of our favorites! We also shared some charcuterie which is nice to have a little food with the wine.“

“Delicious cider! Pretty much all of them are dry, several taste like the apple version of champagne, and lots of unique and fun apple varietals plus fruit infusions. The gentleman, David, who has been there every time we go is very friendly and knowledgeable. We like to grab tasty takeout and do some cider tasting. Check it out.“

“Great Wine! The Pinot Noir is wonderful and this Year the Chardonnay is out of sight!“

“We were in Santa Rosa for a wedding and didn’t have a lot of time so we stopped by and did a quick wine tasting and Jeff was phenomenal!! Great wines and Jeff’s knowledge on each wine was phenomenal. Excellent tasting wines and highly recommend Balletto!“

“Wow! What an amazing winery. Chris did a fantastic job, ensuring we tried all the wines that he thought would best suite our pallets. Every single wine was absolutely amazing. We also became wine club members. Definitely a must visit! 💖🍷“

“Just the cutest place - brought out dog beds for both our dogs. The barkuterie boards also v cute as are the various dog toys. Surprisingly, the wine is also really solid. Overall, a place that we've been going to much more often than I expected.“

“A fantastic source for exceptional wine!“

“Friendly and professional staff. Enjoyed the small plate from the menu with the tasting.“

“Premier tasting experience to accompany their premier wine. In a recent trip to Napa, my wife and I agreed our Paul Hobbs tasting experience was the best overall. The beautiful property, intimate hospitality, and relaxed nature of our visit made this a stand out which we were very happy for because of how much we love their wine. Tyson, our host was happy to educate us on the wines while also answering all of our questions. Definitely recommend making a visit to enjoy a first class wine experience.“
