“We had a wonderful dinner at The Altamont last night. Everything was fresh and we finally had a meal that was worth paying for. Steak sandwich, Ruben (specials they were offering), pork sandwich and a kids cheese burger. We also shared a side of fries. We will definitely make the trip back out again soon to enjoy more of their offerings. Also the building is beautiful! Bonus that it is kid friendly!”

“Staff was super friendly and polite, quiet little burger joint with quality food, the burger was better than in n out the patties are kind of thin. Krinkle cut fries were decent and they serve more than enough! Someone said this was better than sequoia burger and right down the road however I’d rate this burger a 4 compared to the full 5 star sequoia burger in comparison”

“Great Wineshop and bar for mainly natural wines. Extrem wide selection of international wines, but also man locals.
We had a great commented tasting going through several super exciting naturals from the area. Great atmosphere, you sit between endless bottles. They offer snacks too, which we did not try.”

“I have lived in Sonoma County for over 25 years and the Emeritus Pinot Noir is my favorite wine in the world. I have tasted many of the Napa and Sonoma wines and Emeritus is better than all of them.”

“Extensive lunch menu offers multiple salads, sandwiches, burgers and more. Outside nice atmosphere too.”

“We came to Bricoleur Vineyards for a “Girls Gone Mild” bachelorette weekend, and while there are plenty of amazing wineries in the area, this one was everyone’s favorite.

The wine and food were absolutely top-notch (pro tip: order the Isla Rose Brut Rosé and the French fries, you won’t regret it!). What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was Anthony. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an incredible visit, helping us explore different wines, answering all of our questions, and even sharing recommendations for the rest of our trip.

The grounds are breathtaking, with gorgeous views and a welcoming atmosphere that made us want to stay all day. Anthony made us feel less like visitors and more like family.

We’ll definitely be back with our families on future trips. If Bricoleur isn’t on your itinerary, you’re missing out!

P.S. Ask for Anthony, he’s fantastic and deserves a raise in our opinion!”

“Came here on a wine tasting tour with my parents who were visiting from the east coast in 2024, and we all fell in love with the pet nat (and the cave!). I've been a member of the DRNK wine club ever since. Any time I consider canceling my membership, I'm reminded of how much I adore their unique, reasonably priced wines and warm hospitality. I don't think you'll find a better winery in sonoma county!”

“We stopped by here for the first time and their food wowed us. It was delicious, and the service/atmosphere was great. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back.”

“Leo was the best. After driving past TG we finally went in and had a spectacular experience. 5/5 stars – each star for customer care, product quality, atmosphere, speed, and value. I visited Thomas George Estates and was impressed by the beautiful architecture and relaxed atmosphere. The panoramic views of the vineyards made the tasting experience unforgettable. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, offering a great wine tour that highlighted a diverse selection of wines. The wine selection was excellent, with a nice range of varietals to sample. It truly feels like one of the best wineries in Russian River Valley for wine tasting. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a wonderful winery near me.”

“I love the creative spin of all of PizzaLeah’s pizzas! I can’t help but start smiling when I know we are headed there for a meal!”

“What an absolutely darling little place! Situated in a veritable paradise - a blossoming community garden, delicious food and coffee and wonderful service! A must stop when in Sonoma”

“So good! The pulled pork slaps and they had a very tasty, interesting take on potato salad. The man taking our order was friendly, too. Stop by!”

“Favorite coffee shop with the best coffee going on more than 23 years… No place I’d rather sit and do paperwork, listen to the music, engage in a random conversation with incredibly interesting person, you can even bring your dog.”

“Phenomenal setting in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Stick with the Pinots. Will be back (tomorrow).”

“My boyfriend had found this place as a recommendation for desert wines- wines that I prefer to drink. It had always been hard for me to find options at usual wineries as I feel most of them don’t carry desert wines, but luckily harvest moon winery did. The staff there were super friendly and educational on telling us all about their flight of desert wine they brought out for us, and we had a great time! I feel like I finally found a winery I feel like I can go to where I have more options to have wine wise. I will definitely be ordering a bottle soon! Thank you! 😊”

“Jimmy & John are amazing! Cocktails are heaven! Vibe & service beyond stellar! Thank you!!”

“I wish I had pictures. The perfect burrito is all I can say. Been eating here for years and it’s never missed. I literally can’t drive through town without eating here if it’s open.”

“We had such a lovely experience day tasting wine with the special food pairings. We will be adding this as necessary stop for our yearly gals vacation.”
