Wineries near Novato

“Great vibe, good beer and wine, fun venue for live music.“

“Beautiful property. Delicious Cabernet. Herb and Deb Rowland are the keepers of a fascinating trove of Novato history“

“Though this is NOT where they grow the wines, this is HQ for the cellars. I've come to know Terry Leighton after reading a lengthy article about him, and establishing a line of communication by email, and then telephone. A phenomenal intellect with an artist's grasp of what grapes and winemaking are about, it is no surprise he's involved in making the world class wines coming out with the Kailin Cellars Label. To date, I've greatly enjoyed old bottles of Chardonnay, Semillon, and Pinot Noir. Not really predisposed to enjoy Pinot Noir, it has been nice to find that I quite enjoy those of Kailin Cellars. If you're lucky enough to have some of this wine, and have a handle on acquiring some of the limited quantities when they trickle out - you're indeed a fortunate person! HIGHLY recommended!“

“Down to earth setting, casual and relaxing allowing for a great place to sit, enjoy wine and have a conversation. The Merlot is by far my favorite. As it has plenty of character, and an amazing finish.“

“Another winery recommended we visit this winery in Sonoma because of it's story, culture, and quality. Six of us did and it did not dissappoint. Jimmy did a wonderful job of sharing the family history, as well as the history of the winery. He also recommended great wines for us to sample and consider for purchase. I'm glad we availed ourselves to learning about how our Mexican brothers worked the fields, learned the business and became and expert, purchased land, started his on winery, and served two U.S. Presidents (Obama and Bush) and the California Gov (Swarzenegger). Oh, the wine is GREAT!“

“We visited Anaba in October and the tasting room was filled with pumpkins, gourds and beautiful fall colors. I did the tasting of their Pinot Noirs and what a delightful experience. It was such a lovely and relaxing experience. I had time to taste and contrast the 5 Pinots in my flight. I ordered 6 bottles and I am sure I will order more. Thanks Anaba for such a fun time.“

“Schug Winery was our favorite. Made a reservation for the wine tasting in their cave. It was awesome walking into the cave which opens to a chandelier room very elegant with a great table. Various wines were poured and tasted. Exceptional wines at this winery. We bought a case. I highly recommend this winery for the tour and the wine!“

“WOW - a friend recommended this place for the playground with our young children. While the playground was incredible and made us feel less bad for dragging out kids wine tasting, the service was also SO GOOD! the food was great and well priced and the natural wines were wonderful. Highly highly recommend if you're traveling that way with kids!“

“What a great experience and place to visit. Invite only or for work, you will be treated very well by all staff and the property is absolutely beautiful. Art Museum had lots of Original artwork and the whole property is full of awesome Movie Paintings. Gift shop is really cool. Again, what a place to get a chance to visit, thanks to all the great staff that made us feel at home!!!“
