“We love to come here to relax with a beautiful pink bubbly. I brought my step mom with me one afternoon, and the wait person was so much fun! He joked with us, brought us a beautiful charcuterie board, and told us a few stories about the bar and its patrons. We had a lovely visit, and my step mom was very impressed, which was important. We've been back many times, and we love their wines.“
“We recently hosted our company Holiday party in the banquet room at Trek Winery. The room was perfect, plenty of space to mingle and plenty of seating. There are wine barrels lining the walls, a large stage area on one side of the room and a bar area on the other. Food was provided by Trek and it was amazing, the tri-tip and chicken were great. Kids and adults approved! The staff was very helpful in setting up, providing all the place settings, tables, drinks, food, glassware, microphone, music, etc. If you are looking for an easy venue to host an event with little to no stress of planning I highly recommend Trek Winery.“
“This winery is a diamond in the rough. The people working there are so friendly and knowledgeable. As I understand it, the first Latin family owned winery. But best of all are their wines. Complex, lasting over the your pellet. One friend said the wine went through 3 different stages.“
“The Sonomic Gold and Sonomic Red vinegars are delicious. They are made of 100% grapes, as is uthentic Italian balsamic vinegar made from 100% grape must. Having been to Modena, Italy and tasted the real deal, I can say with some authority that this is the closest any vinegar has come to balsamic. Sonomic is a little sweeter, but almost as thick and delicious. It is good drizzled on foods. I like to make my own salad dressings with EVOO, Sonomic, some Italian herbs and a little water - deliciouso!“
“I always enjoy and appreciate my experience at Anaba. Everyone is so welcoming. Ken helped us out this time and he teaches me something new about wine every time and whenever I reach out to Ben, I get a quick, friendly reply. He is the absolute best wine club manager in wine country! I Love being part of this community!“
“Too much heavy-handed focus on guests spending money in their Star Wars gift store. First 2 wine pours we had while standing and with guide narrating. Next were seated pours of only 2 reds with a tasty charcuterie board that we were not allowed time to finish in order to press on to the the museum tour and gift store. We were told we could wrap the snacks in a napkin and hide somewhere if we wanted to finish the food outside these buildings. Tacky when we were tasting $77 wines. The guide and 2 trainees handed us all shopping baskets to fill at the gift store. We did not. Go for the great Star Wars art museum with great guide, if possible but skip the wine tasting. Also, their wine is not cheap. Maybe you're paying for their Skywalker bottle logos too???“
“Loved the relaxing atmosphere and wine. Liked the wine so much that we joined the wine club. They allow dogs which is also great, so Zoey got to join us. It is a family ran winery which is awesome and the staff was so nice and knowledgeable.“

“We had a fabulous time at this winery! We came as a group of 6 on a rainy Saturday morning in November. We discovered this place because it is in the Priority Wine Pass for 2-for-1 tastings. We were pleasantly surprised to find out they were actually doing free tastings during our visit! Which makes the service we received during our tasting even more appreciated. They are located in a cute shopping complex with other places to explore nearby. We sat inside at a beautiful wooden table with a TV screen showing videos/photos of their vineyard. They also have a covered patio with lots of plants that is really cute! One person in our group is pregnant and could not drink. Our host, Elaine, brought out several non-alcoholic drink options for her free of charge which was so kind--they even poured it into a wine glass for her to feel included! She gave us a sparkling rose to start off our tasting, an addition to the regular tasting menu. We got to choose 4 wines to try from their list of 10 for the flight, we loved that we got to choose which wines were part of our tasting since we all have different preferences! I'm more of a white wine girl and really loved the French Colombard, I purchased a bottle to take home! There were 2 Cabs in their tasting menu, our host encouraged my husband to try the more expensive one and explained why it is better--this was a pleasant surprise for a group that was there doing a free tasting. She even brought out chocolates and a dessert wine for us to have at the end! We ended up getting to taste 6 different wines during this tasting which was amazing. Elaine told us a lot of the history of Meadowcroft and shared details of some events they have at the winery like their wine blending events. She let us see the wine aroma charts and talked with us about different scents and flavors of wine! I'd love to come for one of those events sometime. We felt like Elaine went above and beyond for our service, we had to thank her for such a great experience here by buying several bottles of their wine! Thank you for being one of our favorite wineries of the weekend, I will certainly be back!“
“We stopped in while on vacation to do a tasting. It's a great stop with some delicious wine. I was surprised to really enjoy the Rose and Zin as I'm not usually a fan of those types of wines. But very thrilled.Nice tasting room in town, parking is a bit funky but not terrible. Lovely group of ladies working today, and knowledgeable.“
“Nice place! For red wines I looked on Vivino (wine rating website) and the best are Barbera and Montepulciano. Don't get dolcetto, it's kind of watery. Service was a little pushy upon entering forcing us to do wine tasting but not let us select the wines. Lot of the other wines are like 3.9-4.1 stars“
“Kivelstadt was the highlight of our wine country trip. This is a hidden gem with unique, interesting, well-made wines and delicious seasonal farm to table bites from the attached restaurant. Tori who lead our tasting was very knowledgeable about the wines but also geeked out with us about all the birds visiting the feeders nearby. The vibe is very much like hanging out in the back yard with your friends, except your friends also happen to make really good wine and really good food (but like, they're super low key about both). Kivelstadt had been on my list for years but I had never gotten around to it because it's a little out of the way; Turns out it's absolutely worth making the time for.“

“What's better than cheese and wine? Nothing!! The Petaluma Cheese Shop and Barber Cellars has an incredible selection of cheeses from all over, and amazing boutique wines. If your lucky, you get to meet and spend time with the owners, Mike and Lorraine. Aside from making incredible wines, they're cheese nerds. We went from a single visit to making this our regular Thursday afternoon hang.“
“The wine was delicious and staff were very accommodating. The tasting room is very simple, but a nice focus on history and wine. The price to taste more than fair and have some interesting pinots, with great descriptions. We plan to return during the warmer months to check out their outdoor amenities.“
“We got married at Pacheco Ranch Winery - from the moment we met Deb and Herb and walked the grounds, to the cleanup after the big day, we loved every second we spent here.We couldn't describe more ideal hosts for our wedding - Deb and Herb were kind and thoughtful, extremely professional and prompt, super flexible, and an absolute joy to work with. With all our questions and extra visits, we always felt welcome and accommodated at Pacheco Ranch.On the day of the wedding, Herb and Deb were directing traffic, managing vendors, and clearly enjoying every moment of it. They take so much pride and love in caring for their home, and it shows in the natural beauty that flows throughout the ranch.“
