20 Best Wineries in Sebastopol

“Delicious wine and knowledgeable staff!“

“Wonderful experience at the winery! Great selection and explanations of the wines by Max. Hidden gem of a winery! Beautiful and private setting. Highly recommend.“

“Kyle is an amazing, knowledgeable guide through DRNK’s beautiful and approachable wines. His knowledge is impressive, and his enthusiasm is contagious. DRNK is definitely a Sonoma County Gem. Everything from their Pinots to their Cabs are absolutely delicious.“

“Loved this place! Glen and Gigi were so approachable and engaging. It was nice to go to a winery that didn’t feel pretentious, and the seating/ vibes were extremely comfortable. Underrated, great tastings, and the bottle : tasting ratio made sense. Bonus points- our dog was a welcome guest 😍“

“We had such a lovely experience day tasting wine with the special food pairings. We will be adding this as necessary stop for our yearly gals vacation.“

“Amazing wine tasting in a natural beautiful environment“

“We did a wine tasting and Vivian is quite literally the best thing to happen to Sanoma since the discovery of the grape. Not only did she help us learn about each wine, she felt like a friend telling life stories at she greeted us her home. My wife is well known Chardonnay hater and after Viv helped us pick out a Chardonnay to her liking we left with a whole case. Come for the wine, stay for the Viv!“

“Fate led us here on our last night in California, and we are so glad it did, because we had such an amazing time! Everything about it was wonderful, from the hospitality to the wine to the company 💜 The only thing we missed out on were the hot dogs, but we'll be back someday!“

“This is such a wonderful spot for a several night stay in Sonoma. First you are right in the vineyard in a stunning and beautiful home. The entire house is well appointed as is the outside pool.

I am picky, but I can not recommend this property enough. We have stayed there twice with a group of eight and are looking forward to our next trip out from NJ.

Also - bonus - the tasting room is fantastic, near by and the Kanzler Pinot is to die for.“

“An unforgettable winery experience! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing their passion and expertise with every pour. The wines were outstanding, each showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and quality. To top it off, the property was absolutely stunning—beautiful vineyard views and a charming atmosphere made the visit even more special. A must-visit for any Chardonnay and Pinot Noir lover!“

“Phenomenal service and ambiance, easily the best wine tasting I have had. Wonderful setting, exquisite food selection and of course phenomenal wines.

What stood out was the attention to detail and friendliness. This is not your usual mass volume commerce tasting, but an intimate and incredibly warm and welcoming experience. Thanks to Tyson (and Lukas) for being amazing hosts.“

“Just returned from California and a highlight of our trip was Koblers vineyard. Mike Jr was so passionate & informative when educating us on Koblers wine. His warm & welcoming demeanour really made our visit fun. We enjoyed the cheese & wine pairing. Such a wonderful host and the homely setting is lovely.
P.s. our wine survived the return journey to Scotland!“

“So excited to be able to visit these wineries when we come to Sebastopol! Perception and Melissa Kelly Wines have long been my favorites. Mark and Missy are the ultimate hosts, and know how to make everyone feel connected to the story of the wine, making me love it even more!“

“One of my favorite wineries. Such a hidden gem. The owner was super nice and very fun to chat with. The experience was very relaxing and intimate. Went here with my brother a few years ago and looking to go back next time I'm in the area. I thought I was only a white wine girly but was blown away by the cab!“

“My husband and I have been going to this winery for many years. It is a delightful, family owned and run business. All aspects are family run, from growing many of the grapes used in the wines, to the wine making, through to bottling and distribution. In non-covid times, they host tastings of their wines - both in bottle and some still in the barrel - paired with delicious food nibbles. I highly recommend their wines. Among my favorites are the old and mature vine zinfandel and the Platt vineyard Pinot.“

“Beautiful family run winery. I Highly recommend trying all their wines. Just grab a few bottles and enjoy, you won’t be disappointed.“

“We have been members at Ektimo for a number of years. We discovered this gem in Sebastopol on a wine trip with some friends.

When I say this, it is 100% the truth... even though we may like some wines more than others, there has NEVER been a wine we just didn't like! I am a customer, and in no other way affiliated with Ektimo.

Julius is always an amazing host and has always been as accommodating as possible when we have special requests, as we live out of the state.

Anyone who belongs to wine clubs knows that after awhile, some clubs go out of favor. This is one that we really can't ever imagine leaving.

I can't recommend Ektimo or Julius enough!

Tom and Tammra (Cheers)“

“It’s just a real pleasure to taste here. It has none of the theme park style of Napa and just pure world class wines in a calm setting.

It’s a bit off the beaten path. There’s no sign to the winery, just a single lane road through the farmland. We were the only party there at 10am and they had a nice warmed patio set up for us to showcase their outstanding wine.

The host sits with you for a discussion about the wine for the entire tasting. The host was super knowledgeable about the wine. And they did not mind our kids running around at all.

The wines are great, a real example of restrained, more French style wines in the new world. They are pricey, not quite top end Napa pricey but more than most people would spend on a bottle of wine.

I bought a couple of bottles and hope to acquire more in the future.“

“Kosta Browne has been our favorite wine membership for years, but we only recently made our first visit. My husband and I have been to wineries all over the state and beyond and both agreed this was our best tasting experience yet. Joe was friendly, knowledgable, and generally enjoyable to spend time with. The tour was thoughtful and the tasting room atmosphere was relaxed and intimate. There were several delicious places to grab lunch nearby as well. We look forward to our next visit.“

“Lovely experience. This reminded me of the small family run tasting rooms in Virginia where people come sit outside and lounge all day. We did flights of the wine and cider and both were great. The two servers working were both personable welcoming and knowledgeable. We did the cheese tray and it was fabulous too. The only thing I would have done differently is to allow for more time here.“
