En Garde Winery is a hidden gem in the heart of Sonoma Valley. It s a family-owned and operated winery focuses on producing high-quality, small-lot Napa Cabernet Sauvignons and RRV Pinot Noirs. We truly enjoyed the personal and exquisite tasting with the winemaker, Csaba. And we loved the wines. The delicious 99 point Cab Sauvignon Touche, is a rare find in the area. Also loved the port, named after the winemaker's Mom. We will be back!
No where on the site or in the reservation was it noted the tasting fee. The wines were OK, but the fee was as high higher than similar Napa Valley wineries. Our host hovered to the point it was uncomfortable. I would not go again considering how many other wineries are in the area.

En Garde was by far my husband and my favorite winery that we visited. The tasting area was beautiful and while right next to the road had a great view of the mountains in front. We both agreed that the only thing better than the gentleman helping us was the wine. I would easily go drink their wine on a dirt floor if it meant I got the privilege to drink it again. Every single one I tried was normally out of my comfort zone but unbelievably delicious. We are excited to bring our friends and family back.

I live in Sonoma and always send friends and visitors to En Garde for great reds and a very comfortable setting. Everyone there is with helpful and nice. No tour buses here, you have their complete attention during your tasting. They do not serve food but OpenTable forces a review anyway. No need to read more, just plan on stopping by on your next wine country trip.

Wife and I were visiting Sonoma for the first time and heard good things about this place so wanted to give it a try. Amazing wines and tasting experience! Definitely does not disappoint.

These are stellar, incredible wines that are the very best of Sonoma. The intimate seating allows you to fully enjoy each wine with informed and welcoming staff to guide you through their line-up. It is a favorite.

En Garde wines are always a delight to drink. Csaba is truly an artist when it comes to wine making. We had the pleasure to talk with him and ask questions about his process. It is truly remarkable the love, care and attention that he and his wife put into making each bottle.

Tasting was like having your own wine tutor! Skip was very knowledgeable and friendly. Great wine quality and variety.
Great wine, heartwarming story of how the winemaker came about. Jay was our taste tester host and he was so informative and very welcoming. 10/10 recommend on your wine trail adventures in Sonoma.
Wonderful tasting with Jay! He was knowledgeable about the wines while also being great company. We had a quiet private tasting and could not have asked for a better experience. Go see Jay and enjoy the amazing wines they have to offer

The tasting experience at En Garde is simply great. (There is no food). The hosts are knowledgeable and friendly, the atmosphere is very comfortable and you can take the time to enjoy the truly spectacular wines. A must for folks who really appreciate great wine and a winery run by and hiring great people.

We would definitely recommend visiting En Garde!! It is a small personal wine tasting experience where you really learn about the wine you are tasting. Every wine we tried was absolutely delicious - we had a hard time deciding which one to buy afterwards! Jay was a gracious host and truly knowledgeable about the wine. We will definitely be back!!

Skip walked us through the wine tasting and he went above and beyond with stories, information, and he poured some "extras" that he wanted to share with us. This was my 2nd visit and my friends' 1st visit. We left feeling giddy! Not just from the wine. ;-)
