Our group had an excellent experience at Marimar this spring! The wine was exquisite, and the food pairing was delightful! We would recommend this experience over many others in the area. Lead by two women, Marimar and Christina, this vineyard is truly inspiring!

Wonderful dog-friendly winery!We made an online reservation for a wine tasting during a winter weekend. We were seated outside on the patio with a heater. The staff were very well informed about the different wines and history of the vineyard. The Classic Tasting comprised of two white wines and 3 red Pinots.The views from the vineyard are amazing and the Catalan dining room is quite cosy.

Very poor hospitality. Don't even think about showing up without an appointment. Every excuse in the book was used to deter us from staying. He wanted to send us packing. To me, he just seems lazy.

The property and buildings are beautiful and the history of the family is interesting. The wine was good, we loved the Syrah. The overall experience was tainted by the lack of knowledge and attentiveness by our host. Long periods waiting between pours and even saw him sitting in office on his phone. They missed an opportunity to gain new members.

Eric gave a phenomenal experience and made this stop the best! He would broaden his experience by going to Spain and marketing to grow the recognition of Marimar. Best ever!

This winery provides a wonderful selection of wines and customer service. Friends and I had the great experience of joining Marimar on her tour of the wine regions of Catalonia. A trip of a lifetime, designed and led by wine royalty! Marimar provided an exquisitely planned and facilitated excursion. All the best of the Familia Torres wineries and others, woven with stops at premier restaurants, including a 3 Michelin Star spot! Absolutely unbelievable! Could not recommend more highly!

Really awesome place to visit for a wine tasting. They have a great variety of whites and an awesome selection of pinot noirs. I definitely recommend an outdoor seating with the tapas and wine pairing at the tasting room.. The Torres family are super nice and so is the staff. It's a wonderful experience and we can't wait to go back. I also recommend looking in to their wine clubs for access to more of their wine selections, plus they throw in Marimar's Spanish cookbooks!

I sadly had high hopes for this winery, but was let down severely by the quality of the wines.Not here to bash anyone, so I'd like to start out with that note. The staff were quite kind and let us roam around the property, which is spectacular might I add. I'd suggest spending some time learning about the history of the family and property, quite interesting. Now when it comes to the wines, I've always heard they are delicious and being that most are sourced from one of the best Pinot locations on earth, it's hard for me to not love them. We started with a white wine which was good, but not my favorite of the varietals. I was honestly more eager to try the pinots, which were poured right after and that is where it went downhill. All three pinots tasted like they had been open for quite sometime and really did not pack that punch that you'd expect from the Russian River AVA. When asked, the staff said they had been recently opened, which I respected their answer. I just did not the wine attractable at all sadly, which is a huge bummer as the name carries a prestigious Pinot title in the area. Of course I'd return, but there are so many other wineries in the area that make much better wine sadly compared to what I tasted that day.

My husband is a home wine maker, and he has been doing some research on different varietals of grapes. We love Spanish wines. We learned of Marimar from a local restaurant, serving their Albariño. So we booked a tasting on a Monday at 11:10am. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!Lauren N. was our server and wine expert. She was knowledge about wine, the area and the varietals. We had a great tasting. The view is amazing.The wine was solid. There was one or two I did not care for, but out of the 5 we tasted we bought a case and joined the club. It was West Coast at its best. Friendly people, good wine, great views and top notch hospitality.
Enjoyed this Spanish winery very much! Great wines and friendly staff. Good stories.

We had so much fun! All the wines were so delicious. We ended up coming home with two bottles of Spanish varieties - Godello and Tempranillo. They have lots of unique varieties, but the classics, as well. The views from the patio were so beautiful. We'd love to return.
Jason Ponder
Amazing service. 2nd to none with friendliness and well practiced pouring staff. Knew enough and knew where to find more info when asked. Wines were excellent - bought 2 cases to prove it!

Visited some family close by and came to this winery without any recommendation, was floored at how incredibly beautiful a property this is, the wines are spectacular and not just one or two- all of them; not kidding. We had a barrel tasting, became members and all because of the great service and conversation had by Frank.Walked out with more than a case of wine varieties from Chard to Cab and look forward to coming back for Marimar’s member events complete with paella and more incredible wines! Come for the wines and stay for the wealth of knowledge that is Frank Flynn; what a great dude!

Our son graduated from Sonoma State University Saturday, and he decided to join my wife and and me to wine taste on Sunday. He had raved about Marimar for a long time because he has friends/roommates that had worked there. He had also met Francis (a/k/a F4) , who is the gentleman that runs the tasting room and guest services. It was a school project that seemed to be a blast. Francis was incredibly gracious in hosting us at the estate, and they even had a "Congratulations " sign at our table. Our host Eric was excellent, and the wine was the best we had all day. The estate is awesome, and I guess we missed the live dogs. The "statues" are awesome though. The names of the wine are really cool when you hear the story and have them explained. I need to go back to Barcelona.
