The charred octopus salad is an amazing appetizer, which complimented our seafood stew and roast duck entrees. The waitress was wonderful and helped us select delicious wines. Be sure to reserve a table.“

“Visited Thomas George Estates recently and had a wonderful time exploring the location in the Russian River Valley. The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting with kind attentive guides walking through the tasting room experience. It is one of the best local spots to visit if you are in the area since it feels so community oriented. The regional setting made for a peaceful outing without feeling rushed or commercial. Will definitely return.“

“They have MY favorite clam chowder on the bay.“

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

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

“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! 😊“

“Fish and chips were delicious! And the pickiest eater loved everything she tried!“

“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.“

“The people are so kind and welcoming! Great food too!“

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

“The Best lamb gyros we ever had! and we have tried several places. Gyros were very fresh. Will certainly now make this a frequent stop. Great prices & good size portions. Can't wait till summer to sit outdoors. More than a 5 rating.“

“Wonderful breakfast with attentive, lovely staff! ❤️“

“Amazing wine tasting in a natural beautiful environment“

“Adriana and Chef Mohaimen were our favorite vendors at our wedding. Adriana was very responsive during the planning process and made booking very easy. They went out of their way to accommodate the various dietary restrictions of our guests and were flexible with us wanting to serve some of the food during cocktail hour. They were extremely generous, surprising us with extra sides and a special pizza when we sat down for dinner.

Chef Mohaimen made the best pizza we've ever had. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how great it was and neither could we! It's been almost 3 months since our wedding and we still think about it! It was definitely a very memorable experience that I couldn't recommend enough!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“It's the place to go for quality champagne and brandy. I buy a case of the red wine champagne every fall. (Delicious!) I ordered the blackberry brandy online and rode my motorcycle to pick it up. (Nice ride!) There's a tasting room and small deli on-site. Clean bathrooms and helpful staff. I gave 5 stars because I didn't eat there, so if I do and the food (and service) are as good as the rest, I will update this review.“

“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.“

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

“Incredibly cute and good was delicious. The turkey and Swiss (substituting the seeded sourdough) was 10/10. Carnitas had incredible flavor with homemade tortillas. Cute local vibes with beautiful patio and indoor seating. Would definitely come back.“

“Inventive food and the best bartenders!“

“Such an amazing experience! We had the best time at Gary Farrell. The winery is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous views, and everything just felt so relaxed and welcoming.

Michael was our host, and he was fantastic! You could tell how passionate he is about the wines, and he shared so much information without it ever feeling like a lecture. We all learned a ton, asked lots of questions, and he made the whole tasting fun and interactive.

One of my favorite little touches was that they had blankets out for guests. We had an earlier tasting, and it was a little chilly, so having those waiting for us was perfect. It’s such a small thing, but it really shows they think about the guest experience.

The wines were incredible, the charcuterie paired perfectly, and our whole group left saying how much we loved it. If you’re in Sonoma and looking for a winery with amazing wine, beautiful scenery, and genuinely wonderful people, definitely put Gary Farrell on your list. We’ll absolutely be back!“

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

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

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warmth and kindness — the staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The food was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the lasagna, and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly layered, rich in flavor, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth tender. You can really tell that the pasta is handmade fresh in-house — it had such an incredible texture and delicate taste that you just can’t find everywhere. Every bite was perfection. I will definitely be coming back and trying even more dishes. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic, high-quality Italian food. If you’re a pasta lover like me, you must try their house-made pastas — they are truly something special. Overall, an amazing experience all around — from the food to the atmosphere to the genuinely sweet and attentive staff. 10/10!“

“full of love, great wine delicious oysters and amazing people 5/5“

“Golden State Cider Taproom is a pleasant taproom located in The Barlow in Sebastopol, offering a wide variety of hard ciders along with indoor and outdoor seating. During our visit, we sampled several ciders through a tasting flight, which was a great way to compare different styles and flavors.

My favorites were Gingergrass and Arkansas Black, although all of the ciders we tried were well made and enjoyable. The space is open, comfortable, and well suited for relaxing with friends or taking a break while exploring The Barlow.

One helpful tip: many of the ciders are around 7% alcohol, so they are stronger than some people might expect. If you're visiting, consider taking some time to walk around The Barlow and enjoy the area before getting back on the road.“

“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! )“

“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“

“Upon arrival, we were treated to a welcome drink and use of an outdoor swing suspended by a very large tree, outside a restored white farmhouse. After touring the main floor, we headed upstairs to a large room with soaring vaulted ceilings. The room had access to a large balcony with great views of the vineyard. We had a lovely relaxing time sampling fine wines, thank you 😊“

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

“I LOVE coming here! This is the ultimate dog-centric spot and truly a breath of fresh air. I’ve been bringing my dog, Atreus, here since he was 5 months old—he’s now 3 years old and it's his favorite place to see his people and doggie friends whether it's a charity support event, a regular weekday, or swinging by before the summer concert series.
It’s the perfect spot to grab a great glass of wine, hang out with dog-minded friends, and support an amazing women-owned and operated business. If you’re looking for a high-quality wine experience with a perfect 'doggie vibe,' you have to check it out. Highly recommend!“

“Everything you want in a meal, very accommodating to all dietary restrictions- loved the bright open concept of the place and the chef and his partner clearly pour all of their love into this food and it shows. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Been eating here for 10 years. Mario and family are great people, community supporters. . .and great food!“

“Beautiful property excellent staff and outstanding wine.“

“A fantastic source for exceptional wine!“

“Love this place!! The outdoor eating area is a great relaxing Sonoma county vibe and the Uno decks just make the meal more fun. The food is great and there’s a great variety even as a vegetarian. I’ve been here twice so far and it’s going to be a regular date night spot.“

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