“Stone Mason Cellars is an absolute gem! Our experience was made unforgettable thanks to Devon, who guided us through their incredible wine selection. Devon is not only knowledgeable but genuinely passionate. He gave us detailed descriptions of each wine, including perfect food pairings, making the tasting both educational and fun.

He went above and beyond by recommending some amazing local restaurants and even a fantastic dessert spot. His tips truly elevated our day. To top it off, Devon surprised us with a complimentary experimental wine, which was absolutely delicious!

If you’re visiting, do not miss Stonemason Cellars and especially ask for Devon. His expertise, friendliness, and attention to detail make this a must-visit experience. Highly, highly recommend!“

“My wife and I did a tasting here with Dan, the owner, and had a great time. The wines were very good, the property is beautiful, and we really enjoyed learning about Dan and his wife’s story. This is a hidden gem! I also got to geek out by opening a bottle of bubbly with a Sabre!“

“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.

“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.“

“Such amazing wines, in a lovely vineyard. Delicious pinot noir and unique pinot noir blends that I cannot recommend more highly, and other varieties as well. We learned a lot of interesting information about the winemaker’s processes, and had such a pleasant tasting experience.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Beautiful property excellent staff and outstanding wine.“

“A fantastic source for exceptional wine!“

“Matt was a great host! Thanks“

“This place is amazing. Great wines and wonderful staff. They have everything you need for tastings and great bottles of wine. Tyler and Evan was so great and explained so much about their beautiful wines. I would highly recommend the experience! ❤️“

“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! 💖🍷“

“Such a great wine tasting experience!

Parking was easy and we were able to sit on the outdoor patio, which is absolutely beautiful. There’s a fountain and an olive tree in the center that makes the whole space feel really peaceful. My friend’s 4-year-old got to toss a penny in the fountain and make wishes, which was honestly a highlight of the day.

We visited during the week, so it was nice and relaxed without big crowds. Perfect for enjoying the wine and conversation.

Victoria hosted our tasting and she was fantastic and wonderful. She was so friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming and fun. We started with bubbles, then Chardonnay, rosé, and a few Pinots. Everything was great, and I ended up taking home a bottle of the Pinot and the rosé (which felt like the responsible thing to do… obviously).

I didn’t join the wine club today only because I’m already at capacity with wine memberships (a very good problem to have 😅), but hearing about the live music on weekends and the pick-up parties definitely has me reconsidering my current lineup.

I’ll absolutely be back. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer and plan your next visit before you’ve even left.“

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

“Delightful virtual tasting of their Blanc de Noirs“

“Cozy spot in the historic railroad district. They offer flights (build your own), glasses, & bottles in a range of varieties. Most importantly, they have great live music several times per week. Best place in the area to relax and hear some tunes.“

“Beautiful setting. The Zinfandels are lovely. Dino was a fun host and made the experience of wine tasting his families wine fun. He may offer you the ghost pepper liquor snd this is not for the faint of heart...omg it was so HOT. Overall, thrilled to have had the opportunity to go to Battaglini Estate Winery it is a must visit. Thank you!“

“Wish I had pictures, it was a few years back, we took our son and daughter in law. What a wonderful time! Good food, good company, a fantastic private music/comedian. Very personable and laid back vibe (Gary says groovy feel). Love love loved it, can’t wait for the next invite, I’ll be bring my daughter, son and their better half(s). A lovely family time, thank you Keven and Wendy!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“A super cute little tasting room and deli off the downtown Santa Rosa square. We came in around 4pm on a Saturday to taste some wine. They fixed us up with flights and glasses for those who didn't want variety, and even though the deli was closed, they fixed us a little brie and crostini platter when we got munchies. Super nice people, good wine, good food - what more can you ask for?“

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

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

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