“Sept 18, 2025 my wife and I were on our 1st full day of California, Napa, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, Petaluma area- WINE Country after traveling from Ohio. We were given the recommendation to visit the Harvest Moon winery after visiting Balletto Vineyards- which was exceptional. We drove in and were the only ones on the patio as work- grape crushing- was going on outside. The beautiful area appeared to be smaller and more intimate and not as commercialized as Balletto which suits us fine. We sat at the outside tables and watched three guys at the crush pad unload bins full of grapes into the crusher. We were in no hurry so we watched the interesting process intently while relaxing. After a short time the proprietor Randy came off the skid steer or tractor and greeted us. We went inside the tasting room and he proceeded to explain what they were doing outside in the tents and the about the wine flights we would enjoy. I had the red flight while my wife( Beth) had the sweet dessert white flight. We sat outside at the tables, enjoyed everyone of the wines in the flights, enjoyed watching the process of crushing the grapes, taking the stems and extra(s) in one bin and checking out the bins full of crushed grapes...with dry ice.. I had to have an explanation of this which Randy did. We had an very enjoyable experience in the totally relaxing atmosphere, while Randy as the working man he is did his thing to make the wines we were enjoying. During a break from crushing the grapes Randy asked us our thoughts of the flights and said he had an extra taste he would bring out for us. He took care of another couple that had arrived for a tasting and had his son bring us some chocolate the was to be paired with our extra tasting. With the extra wine tasting and the chocolate which did pair very well with both the red and dessert flight, we decide to take a couple bottles home with us. Randy- I sit here writing this review as I had popped the signed bottle of Malbec I brought home to enjoy and to remember our time at Harvest Moon Winery. Thank you for this experience of our time enjoying your wines.

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

“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.“

“5/5 stars – each star for customer care, product quality, atmosphere, speed, and value. Justin was a great host. I visited Thomas George Estates and was impressed by the beautiful vineyards, the peaceful ambiance, and the scenic views across the valley. The cellar tour was informative and the tasting was well organized, offering a variety of smooth selections. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience relaxed and enjoyable. It feels like the best winery near me and a top choice among Sonoma wineries.“

“Amazing wine tasting in a natural beautiful environment“

“So unfortunately we couldn’t go, they were booked. However, they were the NICEST people, gave us some great recommendations. We got a tiny pour of something very good while they made some reservations for us. They have a beautiful view and we’d love to try them next time we’re up that way. I just wanted to take a moment to express our group’s appreciation for their excellent care of not-quite-customers.“

“Tiny restaurant making big waves!

Never have I ever tried food or wine from Georgia, but I’ve been converted to a regular. The food is super simple, but make no mistake the dishes coming out of this kitchen are packed with flavor and done up. I tried dumplings, sautéed mushrooms, and a wrap. Every dish was like exploring a different part of Georgia and with each bite I got to see this cuisine is about transforming simple ingredients. I’d happily re-order everything I tried!

Georgian wine is unique unto itself. From what I understand the wine is made using a very old method of burying clay pots. There isn’t much processing or filtering, so the end product is very viscous. I enjoyed it, especially as a first time experience, but I don’t think it’s for me.

The restaurant itself has a warm, quant feel. The staff were extremely inviting and happy to explain the menu as well as the wine.

If you’re curious about trying Georgian food or just happen to want a great meal in Sebastopol then try Piala!“

“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.“

“Came here for a Chamber mixer as it's one of my favorite wineries in the world. So many great childhood memories of Korbel. The tours are fantastic. The winery is down to earth. The redwoods are magical. The view of the vineyards spectacular. Delicious deli food. I don't even drink wine and just love coming here for all the other wonderful things this historic winery has to offer! 💕“

“Amazing, thoughtful, made with love, authentic food with an East Coast flare! I loved all of the wood fired pizza that I tried and the cannoli was excellent. MUST TRY - The Grandma and The Brooklyn. Not to mention this business is family owned and run. Can't wait to return ASAP.“

“Wonderful breakfast with attentive, lovely staff! ❤️“

“I loved absolutely every single thing about this place! The welcoming, bright, beautiful space, the staff, the incredibly imaginative food (pussy willow pistachio, mochi donuts?!!!) , the elixirs and the vibe. I can't wait for my next trip to Sebastopol!“

“Hook and ladder is worried about making your experience as positive as possible with wine and customer service that is built to make your personal experience positive. As always being communicative about your preferences will only make it better!

The tasting room is also dog and kid friendly!“

“We had an awesome tasting yesterday at this amazing winery. Robin was very friendly and excited about the different types of wines. She explained all the options throughly. We can not wait to get back home to try our selections for different dinners. Thanks again for everything.“

“Best Mexican Food in Town and very fair prices. Excellent customer service.“

“Always one of our favorite places to eat fish and chips! Fresh, delicious and plentiful!!!!“

“One of my favorite all time places!! The food is spectacular - fresh and always so tasty and flavorful!! Fresh seafood, juicy burgers, and the best French fries in the ENTIRE world!! (And all 3 dipping sauces are the bomb! )“

“At lunch we had a good experience however almost too much attention from wait staff. We were interrupted 6 or 7 times by 3 different wait staff asking if we needed drinks or anything else. While I appreciate some attention- it was over the top with more than appropriate amount of attention. The food did not disappoint - but the staff needs to allow customers to have a less interruptive experience and just enjoy the meal.“

“Great latte! I had the challah French toast which comes with vanilla ice cream butter and real maple syrup. So good and enough to have leftovers. Hubby had baked eggs with black forest ham. Food was great, good service and charming off beat vibe with an eclectic mix of people enjoying a convivial mood.“

“Amazing delicious food and kind hearted family ♥️ I was surprised as how good their breakfast burrito was 😍😍😍“

“Great place. We loved everything about it. Service is excellent. Proportions are huge. I ordered breakfast. It’s not on the menus. Owner recommended.2 eggs, beans, rice. Cheese and chicken.Covered in green sauce on 1/2 plate the other half is covered with red sauce.Fresh good food.“

“🍽Great food, large portions and the special was down right great! Good cocktails and fresh food.“

“I’m so glad I finally got the chance to eat here. It was INCREDIBLE!!! Sautéed steak with fettuccine tossed in a ají Amarillo sauce, holy sh*^ it was sooooooo good!!!! Can’t wait to go again ❤️“

“always awesome diverse beer selection all on big screen …recommend the pretzels and beef chipotle street tacos“

“My new favorite spot. Cracklin chicken best thing ever. Service and decor blew my mind. The atmosphere is warm and friendly.“

“This place is the best! Delicious ciders on tap, plenty in cans, clothes & fresh apples. If you want to enjoy a crisp cider underneath an apple tree: this is the place. The chairs are wooden chairs which are insanely comfortable. My bf and I were locked into these chairs. Live music within earshot. The bartenders are also very knowledgeable about the drinks & asked me if I’ve been here before. They went above and beyond to inform me about the drinks and make me feel comfortable. Come here!“

“Hey y'all want to enjoy some yummy eats? Check out The Farmers Wife at the Barlow in Sebastopol and Farmers market... Saturdays in San Francisco at the Ferry Building Sundays in Marin at the Civic Center“

“Everything is good here …but I highly recommend the honey duck and shrimp 🍤 spring rolls“

“One of the most beautiful golf courses I've ever seen or played, staffed by some of the nicest people I've ever met at a golf course. My only regret is that I don't live nearby, so I can't come here 3 times a week. If you told me I could golf at Augusta for the same price, I'd do it, but I'd still love Northwood more.“

“The Martinelli Vineyards and Winery has some nice, well priced wine. We came across Martinelli while we were looking for a place called Woodhead, and were pleasantly surprised that somewhere we just drove up to had such great wines. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“The service is fantastic and I highly recommend if your in the area you should stop in for the Breakfast Burrito!! Is a meal and a half and is TOTALLY worth it“

“Beautiful property excellent staff and outstanding wine.“
