Rombauer Vineyards Sierra Foothills

Usually go to the one in Napa but this location didn't disappoint. Franklin explained the wines very well and we had fun tasting the flight.

Great winery with a picnic area you can buy food and wine and enjoy it there. Love their white wines!

Celebrated my friend’s birthday here and the wine was lovely!

This winery has such great energy—relaxed, welcoming, and full of charm. The wines are outstanding, each one thoughtfully crafted and delicious. Our host, Rachael, elevated the experience with deep knowledge, genuine passion, and an easygoing style that made every tasting memorable. A fantastic spot for anyone who loves good vibes and even better wine.

Delicious wine tasting ($25), knowledgeable staff. Reasonable cost wine club. Lovely grounds for a bring-your-own picnic. Kids welcome.

Awesome

A must visit!! My boyfriend and I visited Rombauer in Saint Helena a few months ago and it was mentioned to us that there was another facility in Plymouth. We decided to make the trip over a holiday weekend and it did not disappoint! Ample parking, beautiful grounds, incredible staff, and great wine. Dawn led our tasting and she was incredible! She knew so much about the wine, the area, and made us feel at home. It was a bit chilly and she was so kind to allow us to change tables and even brought us multiple blankets. We picked up a few bottles and can't wait to visit again soon!

Amazing all around!!!! The service, the beautiful setting and the wine!!!! Always our fave!!!

Franklin is a real gold-country gem. He is so knowledgeable and fun, I wish he was at every tasting room I visit. The vine was devine. The 04 Carneros Chard was a real surprise. If you ever wanted a white that taste like a red, this is the one. Don't skip this adorable spot, unless its Frank's day off

If you’re ever wandering through the Sierra Nevada foothills and wondering where joy in liquid form is bottled—stop wondering. It’s Rombauer.

Walking into Rombauer Vineyards feels less like visiting a winery and more like being invited into a secret club where the password is “Chardonnay.” And let’s be honest, their Chardonnay is legendary for a reason—it’s basically sunshine with a hint of butter and a side of applause. Even people who swear they don’t like Chardonnay suddenly become converts here.

But don’t stop there. The reds? Smooth as Sinatra. The Zinfandel? Like a campfire singalong in a glass—warm, a little wild, and guaranteed to make you smile. Every pour manages to strike that magical balance of being both serious enough to impress your wine-snob friend and fun enough to make you forget you have a wine-snob friend.

The tasting experience itself is first-class without being stuffy. The staff are the kind of people you wish you could recruit for every dinner party: knowledgeable but never pretentious, quick with a story, and even quicker with the next pour. They make you feel like family—family that happens to know a lot about grape clones and oak barrels.

And the setting? Gorgeous. You’re tucked right into the rolling Sierra Nevada foothills, with golden light spilling over the vineyards. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to take a hundred photos—and then put your phone down because the wine deserves your full attention.

Bottom line: Rombauer Sierra Nevada isn’t just a tasting room—it’s a mood. A very happy, very delicious mood. If wine country had a “treat yourself” button, this would be it.

Franklin was so kind and tentative. We told him about our favorites and he recommended the perfect wines. He is the wonderful representative for this amazing winery.

The best of the best

Great wine tasting.
Great atmosphere.
Great hostess.

When we arrived, we had no issues with parking. The location is easy to find and there are lots of parking spaces. We were immediately greeted by the friendly staff. They offer PH balanced filtered water in stylish aluminum bottles, which kept us responsibly hydrated throughout our tour. Our guide was the experienced and friendly Rachel, who answered all of my geeky questions. We enjoyed tastings and cheese pairings. Our favorites were the classic Chardonnays and the Barbera. They have plenty of swag and nibbles to purchase. They are also dog friendly, offering puppy treats and water for your fur babies.

Always a great experience. Very nice people, beautiful setting, great wine!
