We chose the Library Tasting Experience. There are many tasting experiences in the area. This was not much of an experience, mostly just a tasting. It's not worth the $.
Not a very inspired or enthusiastic tasting - the wines were ok. Our host made the barest of efforts to pretend he cared. We could have been done in 30 minutes. We were poured 5 wines in 2 groups. These are supposed to be the very best of the wines in the Rodney Strong wine library. No description was offered if the wines nor were tasting notes provided.
Of the tastings we have done this week, this was the smallest pour we've seen - these were a maximum 1.5 ounces. Maybe it was because the argon gas pourer was so slow. Maybe it was the attempt to make the wines seem super elite.
Overall, we were not impressed.

Beautiful tasting room and great selection of wines. They have a good variety for Cab and Pinot drinkers. Nice pace of the tasting and great host. Would recommend.

The place is very posh, the service is great, but… the wine was not attune to my palate. Wine is like that. You have to like it. But yes, a nice experience. Tastings are $40 for their 5 chosen wines in the nice atmosphere. Have fun!

We have been coming here for a long time. They have great wine and the staff never disappoints. Greg gave us top notch hospitality while we were back in town and made it feel as special as our first time in some years ago. Thanks so much ??

We have had many RS wines over the years, and belonged to the wine club for some time too. We were recently in Sonoma, so we arranged a tasting.Our host Ron did an outstanding job of describing the wines, the winemaking process, food pairings, and many, many other things. And, he took his time to answer all our questions, and there were lots. He introduced us to the Club coordinator Katy, and we're now back in.This was just a great experience overall. Very highly recommended!

Cabernet Sauvignon is outstanding, especially for the price.

Well I did not go to the winery, I did come across this wine in Las Vegas. So it's unbelievably smooth, it's buttery but not too buttery. It's fruity but not too fruity. What an incredible blend. This is a home run. This is not a base hit. Get this wine, Cabernet 2020, from Sonoma.

Fabulous lunch on the Terrace!

Aiden did a great job hosting our tasting of small lot, exceptional reds (Rowen collection). The entire experience was first class-reservation process with reminders, tasting room layout and appointments, interesting snacks and refund of tasting fee with two bottle purchase. A highlight of our trip from Pennsylvania!!

Ashley (I hope that's the correct spelling) was so wonderful greeting us. It was a last minute diversion after Armstrong redwoods. We remembered years ago stopping and enjoying all the wines we tasted at Rodney Strong. That never happens to me and my wife at the same winery. She was able to squeeze us in as a walk in. She treated us with so much kindness and was such a delight. We are thrilled to be her first wine club members. The Terrace was beautiful and it was nice having a grassy area for our toddler to run around a bit after sitting still for a tasting. Towards the end of our visit Evan came over and shared some amazing port with us. We were very grateful for our time at Rodney Strong and were delighted with another outstanding tasting.

No human at the phone number. Just a bizarre phone tree. Contact by snail mail? Real 1990’s phone system.

I will never return to this venue.The parking and shuttle were easy. The event area was very nice even though the stage isn't much of a stage. Those are the only good things I have to say. I woke up this morning still mad about our experience there. Without question this was the most hassled I have even been at a concert. The sold-out audience was almost exclusively over 50 so you might expect a respectful, quiet crowd but it was nothing like that where we were. We were on the outer aisle against the building in the seated area. Before the concert, many people were standing in the shade but once it began the entire area was filled with people from the lawn seating and others who simply didn't want to sit in their seats. People were also crowded behind me as we were in the last row. This was only mildly annoying. The real problem was the number of people who were heavily intoxicated. Loud talking, screaming, stumbling as they danced. Many people seated in our area were unhappy and annoyed. The volunteers(?) and the security did nothing. No asking people to return to their area, no asking people to behave. Nothing. In the middle of the concert a severely drunken man (and badge-wearing wine club member) leaned on me and told me he needed to sit in my seat because he couldn't find his. A few minutes later he stood behind me and put his hands around my neck. The only reason he didn't get thrown to the ground was because I didn't want to be the a-hole who punched a rich 65 year-old. I did convince him to never come near me or my daughters again.I'm sure the venue absolves themselves of the behavior of their patrons but they clearly have no control and no policies in place so that others can enjoy the show. Good luck driving the roads after a show here.
