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!“

“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 had such a great experience at Anaba Wines, thanks in large part to Christian! He was an incredible host and wine educator, knowledgeable, welcoming, and attentive throughout our entire visit. He did a fantastic job explaining each of the wines without making it feel overly formal and made sure we were well taken care of from start to finish.
Great wine, great hospitality, and an overall wonderful experience. Thank you, Christian!“

“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 were recommended to visit by a few people and made a reservation. Theresa made it the best and most knowledgeable tasting experience. She gave us time, explained the history and wines, we saw the caves. It’s a very nice winery, great property and Theresa made it even better! We also enjoyed time with the winery pup Yara.

Thanks for making our anniversary trip so special!“
