I'm giving this winery a 4 instead of a 3 because we so like the retired school teacher/ wine rep. --that usually waits on us every time we visit--so much. She gives the winery a down to earth welcoming vibe that is hard to find in these more exclusive wineries. Since we are members we visit every month, have our free tasting and sample some other wines they may be pouring that day. A recent experience there however left my husband and I feeling as though we'd been ripped off and had. This past weekend, we decided to partake in the tour of the historic hop kiln on the property and surrounding property-- which we had no idea had an associated charge, especially since we were club members. The tour guide was a charming elderly gentleman who stated he had been a salesman before retiring. This should have been a red flag for us but we innocently proceeded ahead, and even when there was a lovely place setting at the end of the tour, with more pinots to sample, and more snacks to munch, I naively figured they know how to treat their wine club members! Skillfully, the hard sell came after we finished our wine pairings when we were casually asked if we wanted to add their Pinot Sampler to our existing account and when we didn't respond right away he repeated 'so you said you wanted it right'? With the fun hour long tour and wine and cheese under our belt it would have been very easy to have given into his charming slick prodding but we declined and followed him back to the register only to discover the tour was a hundred plus bucks--a far cry from many other wineries we've beloved to in the past that would never have charged, nevermind a club member.

Landmark has always taken care of us. Carol and Kent are a joy. We had a very wonderful time with our host, Katelin! She was great and gave us a ver nice afternoon and some fun wine tips as well!

Only the best Pinots and Chardonnays here. Look no further.
Kate Fomina
Great sensory experience!!

You can do better in the area - we had a tasting/tour set up by the manager of a neighboring vineyard with whom we hit it off. We aren't big players in the industry but we have a small vineyard & are building a wine importation business and she phoned a friend at Landmark and set us up something as a courtesy as not much was going to be open the following day. The building is quite unique and impressive - however the "Tour" is mostly just walking around the parking lot area, looking at an old house that was transported to the property and staring through the gate of one of their vineyards. You could probably get the same view of the inside of the hop kiln simply stopping in for the normal tasting rather than the rather steep $85 tour and tasting. The tour guide was an odd mixed bag of friendly at times, surly and off-putting at others. We never said that we were "industry" but the person who called in the appointment must of mentioned it as he at one point started belittling us as "thinking we're in the industry" being from Maryland. Once is good natured ribbing, 3 times is - well - kinda insulting - especially in front of others. They comped one of the tastings at the end without us asking which was nice, though being hands down the most expensive tasting in the area it only brought it down to "normal" rates. The wines are decent pinot noir for the most part, the whites are unremarkable - particularly the pinot gris which the other couple dumped and we choked down. Head nextdoor to Rochioli, across the way to MacRostie or down the road to Twomey for a tasting. Stop in here for a glass and to see the building.

If you're looking for a quieter, less well travelled winery, check out the Landmark Vineyards wine tasting room. It's a bit north of the wineries in Russian River/Santa Rosa, but the drive is quaint and the wines are fantastic. We found the tasting room to be laid back and relaxing -- we were the only ones present in the afternoon. There are several tables outside for enjoying the nice views outdoors. Landmark is owned by the Wonderful Company, who also own Justin Winery in Paso. They are known for their Pinot Noirs as well as Chardonnays. All are top notch wines. We purchased a Sonoma County Tasting Pass -- and Landmark Vineyards was on the list. explore.sonomacounty.com… I'd recommend purchasing this pass, as the cost of the pass is typically less than the cost to taste wine at nearly every Russian River winery!Definitely a nice spot for those who like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varietals without the pretentiousness. Big thumbs up.

Remi loving the grass and view at Landmark. She's looking for the Pinots. She started with a sip of delicious Chardonnay and Pinot.

Beautiful property and great experience. Thank you Donna!
A very cool winery in a historic building. Kent poured our tasting and was hilarious and super nice. The wines were all very tasty and 1/2 to 2/3 the price of similar tasting wines just up the road! We will absolutely come back here (and bring friends and family) the next time we're in the area.

What a treat it was to taste at Landmark! It was my first time at this location. There were rain showers throughout the day so we opted to taste indoors and what a lovely space it is. The stone work is incredible. Kent was our wine host and we could not have been more pleased. He is not only charming, but his knowledge of their wines is remarkable. He treated us as VIP's! The wines were all superb. All 3 of us purchased some of our favorites and I signed up to be a wine club member. On a nicer day, one can enjoy the lovely picnic grounds & tables with a view of the pond. Landmark, you did not disappoint!

Landmark is an absolutely beautiful winery with some really great wines too! Their tasting room is a California Historic Landmark and is also recognized as the most significant surviving example of a stone hop kiln in Northern California. The hop kiln is a stone building that is absolutely stunning and overlooks a beautiful pond area. They have some seating inside their tasting room but most seating is primarily outside patio seating. They have lots of seating outside and also a tented area too. The outdoor tasting areas also overlook the beautiful gardens on site in addition to the Mayacamas Mountains too. What a beautiful backdrop! Their signature tasting is $45 for up to 6 guests and includes a flight of 5 wines. They specialize in Pinot Noirs and Chardonnay wines and offer these two varieties for their tasting. They also have a small market area including cheeses and charcuterie items, which always make a perfect pairing to wine tastings. They also have some really great merchandise available too. During my last visit I bought a beautiful Sonoma County cutting board. Ken helped my group and was great at explaining the complexity of the wines and really wanted to ensure our group had a great experience too!

Been a Landmark wine club member since 2007. I usually visit the Landmark winery on Hwy 12 in Kenwood (halfway point between Santa Rosa and the town of Sonoma) as it's less than a mile from my house. This location is a nice airy, friendly place to hang out for a few hours when the weather is welcoming. Today, a clear and warm January afternoon, was a splendid visit. Sat on the Adirondack chairs while being served a half dozen current released wines. Dog friendly. Staff offers water bowls and biscuits to the canines. The wines are pleasant. Never harsh. Prices range from $28 to $100 / bottle. If you are a member or want to sign up for club membership the tasting experience is free. If you merely want to visit and sample the wares the price is $25.

This shoutout is for Cheryl and the service you can expect. She goes above and beyond for the wine society members ( wine club). Come here. Try the wine and experience the service. You’ll be signing up in no time.
