28 Best Wineries in Santa Rosa

“This winery was absolutely amazing! My friends and I had such a personalized experience — the owner himself led our tasting and even gave us a tour of the property. You can really feel the passion and care that goes into every detail. Highly recommend visiting if you’re looking for a truly memorable wine experience! 🍷“

“My boyfriend and I made a reservation after I’d driven by and seen that they specialize in sparkling wines, and we are so glad we did. We loved getting to speak with Randy, the winemaker and owner, as he walked us through the wines that he clearly put so much love and care into. It’s obvious he only wants to make wines that he himself would drink (hence all of his wines being organic!) and that passion is infectious. Would 10,000% recommend if you want an intimate experience of the kind of people who make Sonoma Valley wine so great.“

“Wow, one of the best wine tastings I’ve ever done. The winery is organic, uses sustainable farming & harvesting practices, and even the structures they’ve built use reclaimed wood and as many local materials as possible. It’s woman-owned and made; we loved hearing the story of how Kathleen started the vineyard in ‘99. Meredith was our host, and she was extremely hospitable, inquisitive, knowledgeable, just a lot of fun. She read the room (or the patio in our case) perfectly and seemed to appear at just the right moment for the next glass. This is the kind of business that I want to support.“

“Live this place. Member for 10 years. Enjoy it every time I come!“

“We were visiting California but were concerned about stopping at a vineyard with a 13 yo and 11 yo twin children in tow. This was the perfect place. Relaxed atmosphere with nice wines and the kids were completely fine (big sigh of relief)! Highly recommend for adults wanting to experience a bit of California’s wine country and a reprieve from all the kid oriented activities.“

“This was one of the most wonderful catered events I have attended in recent memory! My spouse and I hosted a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner for my son and his new spouse at DArgenzio Winery in Santa Rosa in early June of 2025. There were 35 attendees and we were catered to in the Cibo Rustico event room with a wine bar, relaxing music, bocci ball and incredible service. We selected numerous authentic Italian appetizers such as Vegan Salad, Ceasar's Salad, Rustic Fire Grilled Vegetables, Brochette breads, Caprisi Salad, and Pasta with Bolagnese and Pasta with Pesto sauces. That was followed by three delectable pizza selections (Margarita, Italian sausage and Pepperoni) and polished off with two desert selections of Chocolate Mouse and Tiramisu. Everyone in attendance was in awe of the dishes and ate until their hearts were content. We drank the DArgenzio Pinot Noir, Red Blend and Sauvignon Blanc and they were all terrific. I had forgotten that there was such a thing as "customer service" ever since the Covid19 debacle but the staff blew our socks off with friendly, attentive, professional and nurturing service for all members of the party. This was truly some of the best service I have ever seen and I would highly recommend this establishment. The cost was completely reasonable. My favorite parting shot of the event was watching all of our happy guests leave the event with boxes of awesome leftover food, bottles of extra wine and giant smiles on their face! Thank you DArgenzio Winery for making my Son's Wedding Rehearsal Dinner an unforgettable and epic event!“

“We were in Santa Rosa for a wedding and didn’t have a lot of time so we stopped by and did a quick wine tasting and Jeff was phenomenal!! Great wines and Jeff’s knowledge on each wine was phenomenal. Excellent tasting wines and highly recommend Balletto!“

“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.“

“August 15th my family & visited this winery. There was a gentleman there who was our host. I cannot remember his name but he was amazing went above & beyond to make my 60th bday special. He gifted me a gold alligator wich I will cherish forever. Wine was tasty & the winery itself is so beautiful. Thank you for making my day!“

“Matt was a great host! Thanks“

“A fantastic source for exceptional wine!“

“Wow! What an amazing winery. Chris did a fantastic job, ensuring we tried all the wines that he thought would best suite our pallets. Every single wine was absolutely amazing. We also became wine club members. Definitely a must visit! 💖🍷“

“A flight cancellation re-routed us to the area for a couple days over the holidays. We foolishly thought Trecini would be open on Christmas Day and showed up to the tasting room downtown. Kathy happened to be in the office, opened the door to respond to our inquiry, and then offered "well, you're here, do you want to try some wines?" "Uhm, yes! Are you sure? You weren't planning for tastings today though!"But she took us in anyway. Already feeling like an imposition, we expected maybe she'd let us try 4 or 5 wines and send us on our way. But she spent over 2 hours with us letting us sample 14+ wine varietals. What amazing hospitality and attention to the customer the likes of which, I had never previously experienced.We were so floored by the quality of the wine, that we bought 9 bottles to take with us (for reference, we typically by 1 or 2 when we enjoy a wine-tasting). We also loved our conversation with her. It's hard to decide which we enjoyed more - the phenomenal wines or the interaction with our host. Kathy has a warmth and wit about her that makes her immediately feel like an old friend. She was authentic and down-to-earth and so knowledgeable of the wines and their history. This ranks as my number 1 best wine-tasting experience. Ever.P.S. Her talking parrot made for the most fun and endearing assistant wine host!“

“If you would like a genuine family owned winery experience, Battaglini is your place. Our favorite tasting experience! Dino Battaglini hosted us unannounced. He gave us the full tour and experience as if we were family friends from out of town. More than a 2 hour visit and we enjoyed every minute. Wonderful wines and fun education on the land, processes, serving, trivia and history of the family vineyard. Down to earth, friendly and homey. Highly recommended.“

“Beautiful property excellent staff and outstanding wine.“

“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.“

“This venue was fantastic! We went for the Sunday outdoor music from 3–6pm, which was the perfect time for our toddler’s schedule, and ours too. It's a very family-friendly spot; we rolled out our wagon, set up some chairs and a blanket, and enjoyed wine while listening to the live music. There are a few bocce ball courts and other yard games to play, plus a food truck on-site. We had a wonderful time and are already looking forward to the next concert!“

“Delightful virtual tasting of their Blanc de Noirs“

“Visited this tasting room back in March, as we were staying nearby. This place is really amazing, and the wine on offer was really tasty. There was also music playing (really added to the atmosphere) and the host was amazing. If you are in the area, it's well worth a visit.“

“Sending goodwill from Brooklyn....big fans of the whole Whobo thing.“

“This is a classic to Sonoma/Russian River valley...The winemaker Anthony's hard work and dedication astound me! I love that you can drink this wine alone or it would pair with really any dish you are serving! The profile of this wine is very true and has just the right amount of balance to make you want another glass! Thank you for everything! This was amazing!!“

“Great wine, fun pairing, and a wonderful host. Can't wait to come back and bring friends.“

“I’ve been to the Fisher Vineyards many times and on each occasion it seems to go up a notch in it’s quality and the experience. The Coach Insignia and Lamb are world-class cabs that you shouldn’t miss if you visit the Vineyard. . What a pleasant surprise to meet the matriarch of the vineyard Jowell once again and experience the wonderful hospitality with our very entertaining host ,Paul.“

“Beautiful scenery, great wines & the staff are amazing with great service and knowledge! Really had a fabulous time there!🍷“

“My daughter and son-in-law took myself and our family there for my birthday dinner. We had so much fun. The staff was wonderful and the food delightful. I personally had the lamb. Wow! I love lamb, but never, never had it this tender.Each of us bragged about our dinner choices.I recommend this restaurant. Going there again tonight.“

“For obvious reasons, this is my wine of choice! The fact that the wine is absolutely fantastic is icing on the cake.“
