Kivelstadt Cellars & WineGarden

There’s always space for a small glass of wine 30 minutes before closing. We were turned away with “kitchen is closed” by manager. Very odd way of showing hospitality.

If I could have given our experience more than 5 stars I would have. Their selection of wines is great and the different methods they use is so fun and interesting. Our server’s knowledge was such a help and she made it a great experience. Thanks to Tia for your help today and we look forward to our next visit.

Kivelstadt was the highlight of our wine country trip. This is a hidden gem with unique, interesting, well-made wines and delicious seasonal farm to table bites from the attached restaurant. Tori who lead our tasting was very knowledgeable about the wines but also geeked out with us about all the birds visiting the feeders nearby. The vibe is very much like hanging out in the back yard with your friends, except your friends also happen to make really good wine and really good food (but like, they're super low key about both). Kivelstadt had been on my list for years but I had never gotten around to it because it's a little out of the way; Turns out it's absolutely worth making the time for.

Great experience and some awesome wi nes. Chelsea was a great guide to their wines. Tasting room is awesome as well. Sat outside on a beautiful day and got to know some very tasty wines. Will definitely be going back a lot.

Honestly fantastic. Great space, playground for kids, and the food is far more elevated than I was expecting. The pork belly was incredible. Plus, they accommodated our larger group than the original booking without a single complaint. Easy 5 stars.

Great ambiance, great wine!

my mouth is watering just thinking about my visit this past weekend to Kivelstadt.This is a must stop when you’re in Sonoma, even worth making a trip just for this spot. Only took about an hour driving up from San Francisco midday on a Friday. We did the KC Labs and Off the Beaten Path tastings and loved the variety. Gravignon Blanc and the Native Son were some of our favorites.The food is amazing, you have to get the Glazed Pork Belly. The pork is cooked to tender perfection and pairs deliciously with the mushrooms. The aguachile is a bit more like a crudo and was perfect for the hot sonoma weather in September.We spent a few hours here in their comfortable outdoor seating and left with a few bottles. The wine club benefits are definitely worth it, with free tastings and generous discounts on bottles.The service was great, sharing just enough about the wines but also giving us space to taste slowly and enjoy the warm weather.Looking forward to my next visit to Kivelstadt - I’m telling my friends we’re coming every weekend now ?

Outstanding!!

What a wonderful lunch we had!Our party had 6 adults and 4 kids. We were seated thoughtfully and comfortably near the play area.The food was a true highlight of seasonal, local ingredients. I wish I had a favorite!The peach, mozzarella, bacon sandwich was a delightful combo. The veggie cuban a surprising winner. The grilled cheese in focaccia was devoured by the kiddos.We ordered each desert. The pana cotta was perfect, the s’mores in a jar and the Alaskan ice cream.Amazing food! Excellent dining experience!

Local resident opinion, Bloom Carneroa restaurant at Kivelstadt is one is the best restaurants in Sonoma (and the only wine club we belong to). Food is beautiful presented and excellent! Chill Al Fresca dining is relaxing and the wine is delicious.

Delicious food and friendly service

Really good place and the server recommendation! fish tacos ?with peach ? and the wine flight as well ?

Popped in for lunch and a little wine. The staff is so friendly and attentive. It can be found at the crossroads of Napa and Sanoma. Great bar b que atmosphere. Can go for a meal or tasting.

Good food in a wonderful setting... And also good beer and wine ?

Luke and Nicholas provided a romantic evening for myself and my associate. The charcuterie was to die for; the wine was divine. Shoutout to Eric for the unparalleled service!
