Wineries near Novato

“First time. Stopped in for a glass while I was waiting on my daughter. They were just opening up but very welcoming and gracious. The Rose’ I had was very nice. Will be back.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We visited Ram's winery today and had a great time. The wine selection is great and the service was exceptional thanks to our sommelier Maya! She is very knowledgeable and made our day and tasting extra special. We'll definitely be back! The grounds are beautiful as well. Don't miss it!“

“Our experience at Anaba was one of the best I’ve had at a winery. The wine was incredible, each one better than the last but the service was the reason our visit was so special. Ben was knowledgeable, personable and overall a fantastic human & guide! Anaba thanks for having us, we will be back!“

“My sweetie and I stopped by for the yummy wine and the overall lovely views! We were not disappointed!“
