“Wonderful staff,enjoyed it a lot🥘😃“

“I had not had such a good pizza in years! I am Italian and can honestly say that their Margherita is as good or better as any I ever had! I waited 28 years for this. We really needed it in West Sonoma county !“

“It’s Sooo Good.., I don’t want to Share This! Please Keep this Secret 🤫“

“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“

“Best Thai food I've had stateside since returning from Thailand, bar none.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The property is enormous and absolutely stunning! I wish I had known about the milk barn as I would definitely be interested in staying there on my next visit. The vibe is unmatched. Inside the barn is gorgeous. The perfect mix of rustic and chic with an upscale vibe while still feeling homey. Our table looked out onto the pond and rose garden which just added to the overall experience. We did the rooted tasting that pairs each wine with a small plate made with ingredients from the property. The chef came out to explain each pairing! The experience was incredibly personal and made you feel right at home. All credit for that goes to our host Taryn! She was absolutely amazing! It was like talking with a close friend on the couch over an amazing bottle of wine! She gave us a tour of property and tailored our experience to our likes and dislikes, because everyone needs a splash of sparkling rose while you tour the vineyard! It was so thoughtful and you could tell just how much she cares about the vineyard and her patrons! Bricoleur (and Taryn) was definitely the highlight of our sonoma county trip as first time visitors!“

“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.“

“What a gem of a wine stop in a beautiful spot! Super unique wine cave with excellent varietals. We got a tour with the owner himself! Really amazing history of Sonoma county wines. All the way to the beginning! If you're looking for something unique and memorable, take advantage of this experience. You can just stop by and enjoy a bottle with friends in the beautiful Sebastopol outdoors next to the 9 hole golf course. Another affordable gem of West county!“

“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!“

“Every bite was so good! We had the chili, Rueben panini, a salad and the Parmesan pasta salad. Views of the river while we ate made the visit even better. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Such a great way to taste wines from all over our area. 2-ounce tastes are great. I enjoyed a couple of whites, then a flight of reds from DRNK for $25. Best tasting variety.“

“The absolute best pizza! Their crust has a perfect sourdough tang, and is crunchy and chewy. The toppings are creative and sourced from local farms and producers. And I love their delightfully punk vibe. No visit is complete without checking out the fun pictures in the bathroom. Out of 5-stars, they deserve 10!“

“Such a lovely, casual Sunday. We brought our lunch, had a tasting in the Adirondacks in the shade of the redwoods, listening to great jazz/ funk on an otherwise lazy day. The price point is as palatable as their wine. Thank you, Hook and Ladder!“

“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.“

“We unfortunately had to last minute cancel our reservation bc I was experiencing a flare up. So they didn't miss out on another reservation or walk in I emailed the winery. The owner of this winery truly cares about customer service and the people who want to visit! What a kind human! We will definitely visit next time we are in CA and I'm so sad I missed them this time.“

“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!“

“Porter Creek Winery was such a peaceful gem and one of the highlights of our wine country trip. The team (Crystal) went above and beyond to accommodate us, even staying a little late so we could enjoy the experience — and we’re so grateful they did!

The setting was absolutely stunning — quiet, serene, and surrounded by natural beauty. It was the kind of view that makes you want to take a deep breath and stay a while. The wines were just as memorable, especially the Zinfandels — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.

To top it all off, we were greeted by Poppy, the sweetest dog who made the whole experience even more charming. Between the warm hospitality, the incredible wines, and the peaceful ambiance, it was the perfect way to wind down our day.

Highly recommend Porter Creek for anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate tasting experience with a personal touch.“

“An unforgettable winery experience! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing their passion and expertise with every pour. The wines were outstanding, each showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and quality. To top it off, the property was absolutely stunning—beautiful vineyard views and a charming atmosphere made the visit even more special. A must-visit for any Chardonnay and Pinot Noir lover!“

“My wife had a roasted eggplant and goat cheese with pesto sandwich. I had the open face smoked salmon sandwich. Both were absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t normally get so excited about a sandwich, but these were exceptional in their taste and presentation—plenty of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers that seemed to come straight out of a garden. The location is super cute with a great vibe. The service was adequate, though not exceptional.“

“Everything about Valley Ford Cheese Company is awesome! Highly recommend.“

“Great neighborhood spot, really good drinks and food. Convenient location too.“

“Wonderful pizza and ambiance at Raymond’s!“

“Really excellent pastries! We enjoyed a pain au raisin and pain Suisse.... I honestly don't think I've had better pastries outside of Paris. I was sad we were only in town for a day or I would definitely have been back to try more.
Lovely assistant served us, definitely an asset to the business with her friendly manner.“

“Wonderful breakfast with attentive, lovely staff! ❤️“

“First of all, the place is gorgeous. Like wooded fairy garden aesthetic, with amazing things for sale. I waited in the gift shop as I was a little early for my table and found the most beautiful things! Cotton dish towels printed with animals and illustrative wildflowers. Ferns. Mushrooms. Aprons. Canvas bags. Journals. Really wonderful things Now onto the high tea- lovely. Just really great food, so many tea choices. I forced myself to finish everything, and I plan on going back to the counter to bring treats home also Loved coming up here. This is going to have to become a weekend treat for any time I'm celebrating, or need a heavy dose of whimsy and warm feminine energy Thank you ❤️“

“very good products courteous stuff ,tea tastings. and very good prices.“

“I love the NZ pies and sausage rolls here but the prices are a bit exorbitant for what is essentially gas station/convenience food back home (Aus or NZ)

Current prices back home, even with all the inflation we've had:

BP pie: NZ$6.70 → US$3.83
BP fancy pie: NZ$8.50 → US$4.86
BP sausage roll: NZ$4.80–5.00 → US$2.74–2.86

A sausage roll or meat pie really should be priced around the cost of a McDonald's cheeseburger - as that is what it is competing with back home in Australia/NZ. Or maybe the price of a 7-11 hotdog.

Every time I drop by to pick up a couple things from Burtonz I find myself doing the mental math of just doing a round trip back to NZ instead 🤣🤣🤣“

“Get here early if you want a pastry with your morning coffee! because they run out quick! Awesome service cute like place and the owner is super nice. We came back in the afternoon for the ice cream and an espresso shake! Long lines in the afternoon! Get here before 3pm!!!!“

“Lovely atmosphere, incredible wines. Loved the Rose, will definitely be back“

“This is one of my favorite wineries. It’s relaxed atmosphere, great wine and amazing staff are all part of why we continue to come back this fantastic winery.“

“David/pirate is a great joy he is very knowledgeable and great company I had a great 5 with him and it was because of him that made me want to join the club plus the cider being great and great products to taste! Coming back for sure and bringing friends to experience the homely feeling and joy!!“

“My husband and I had a wonderful wine tasting with Geoff last week during a getaway. We enjoyed learning about the history of the winery and trying a pinot flight. We shared our tasting with two other women on a trip which made for a fun experience. We also got a cheese board which was amazing and we appreciated having the option to get some food while trying the wine. The cheeses were great and well paired with the wine.“

“Great Wine! The Pinot Noir is wonderful and this Year the Chardonnay is out of sight!“

“Amazing visit with Andy, comprehensive about the biodynamic and all the thoughts put into the farming and reaching the regenerating threshold as close as possible.

As far as the wines are concerned, I had 6 + 1 2019 from the Library. The differences in profile and taste were striking and with such a beautiful view and setting, it is impossible not to like the wines.

Personnally the Wendling Block E Pinot Noir pleased me the best but Charles Heitz vineyard was a damm fine wine as well !

Awesome experience !“

“Inventive food and the best bartenders!“

“Awesome meeting William in person after years of being a Flock wine club member. Always something new to taste, usually from unexpected varieties. Love the vibe and the wines! If you’re staying in Healdsburg it’s a 10-minute car ride from town. Go!“

“A fantastic source for exceptional wine!“
