“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.

“Sourdough bread bowl was excellent! Fish taco were gluten & dairy free... loaded with fish & fresh toppings! Very hearty servings!“

“When we stayed in the Sonoma/Healdsburg area, our resort concierge recommended that we try Gary Farrell as one of our wineries to experience while we were in the area. This was our first stop and it was an amazing winery- only open for reservations only (no walk-ins).

We arrived a few minutes before our tasting and were warmly greeted by the host staff and shown to our table, overlooking the beautiful Russian River hillside area. The views from the winery are absolutely outstanding.

We learned from our host that the owners of the Gary Farrell Winery don't own any of the vineyards, they only procure the grapes and they're the wine maker. The wines were all drastically different and some of the best Chardonnay's we have had on any of our tastings we have done in Napa.

The host was so knowledgable and very warm and friendly. We went away with a new found appreciation of their winery and purchased a bottle of wine to take home with us for a Christmas gift. Gary Farrell is truly an amazing winery and I highly recommend trying it if you're in the area! We look forward to returning!“

“Inventive food and the best bartenders!“

“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.“

“Amazing wine tasting in a natural beautiful environment“

“Huria's Pizza catered for our wedding in August 2025 and we loved it!! Adriana was responsive, professional, and knowledgable when it came to emailing and planning logistics for the day. The pizza trailer arrived right on time and set up efficiently. My wife and I didn't even have to think about it! Their decorations and presentation complimented our redwood forest venue nicely. The food was delicious! We had three types of pizzas and two side dishes. The pizzas were freshly cooked. Chef Mohaimen and his team were able to feed 120 of our guests in a timely manner. I would strongly recommend catering with Hurias for your wedding or big event.“

“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.“

“I am absolutely enchanted by the Korbel estate and by their delicious, port, bubbly, and brandy. The deli is delightful, chock full of delightful sweets and savory sides and sandwiches. I wandered in and never wanted to leave. The view! The rich history! Did you know that the train stopped at Korbel in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s? I wish I could jump back in time. The ladies at the tasting room are my new best friends too. I was so cozy by the fire, sipping a rare rouge 🍷 Defnitely don’t skip this wonderland on your visit. If you’re local, be a member!“

“Wonderful breakfast with attentive, lovely staff! ❤️“

“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.“

“Hook & Ladder was a really enjoyable stop and felt like the definition of a family-run winery experience.

Full disclosure: I’m more of a craft beer person while my wife is the wine enthusiast, but this ended up being one of those easy, low-pressure tasting experiences that makes wine country fun for everyone.

The tasting was reasonably priced and refreshingly simple, no complicated reservation process or over-the-top formality. Just walk in, sit down, and enjoy.

The indoor tasting space had a unique personality, with fire and police patches from surrounding agencies decorating the walls along with shirts from departments across the region. It added a personal, community-focused feel that made the space memorable and different from more polished winery tasting rooms.

Most seating leans toward an outdoor patio setup, but since it was cold during our visit we stayed inside and still had a great experience.

While we didn’t take any bottles home this time (we’ve actually seen their wine at Costco before), it was a fun and relaxed stop, perfect if you want a tasting experience without the complexity or pressure that sometimes comes with larger wineries.

A great casual addition to a Sonoma County wine day.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“I am visiting the area with my dad, and this was not on our carefully crafted list of places to try- we were across the street at Crooked Goat (also amazing btw). I figured we would bop in for a taste of something, but ended up with a flight, and several small sips of other options, with THE BEST service from Shoshanna (sorry if I butchered the spelling!!). Incredible hospitality, incredible cider (grabbed some to bring back to TN which means it’s worth having to check my bag), and such a chill vibe- played checkers with my dad as we sipped on our flight. If I lived here, this would be a regular on my roster. Do not think twice, just go visit??“

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

“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.“

“Had a lovely afternoon at DeLoach last week. Rick was an excellent host! We were greeted with sparkling Chardonnay and tasted wines from different appellations including the Estate Pinot Noir - one of our favorites! We also shared some charcuterie which is nice to have a little food with the wine.“
