Great service and ambiance in a tasting room just off the square in downtown Sonoma. We are long-standing wine club members who have enjoyed the offerings in all of their locations.

We had the pleasure of being hosted by Jack twice, and he's helped make it a great experience. Good wines and good atmosphere. Feels like home.

A great winery in town. Great ambiance and staff was super friendly and learned a lot. Loved the interior!

We love the wine but will NOT be visiting this winery again. We made it a point to stop by on our recent visit to Sonoma, a few weeks ago. We wanted to purchase a bottle of wine to drink there and was told there would be a $30 up charge if we drank it on the grounds! Our $60 bottle would now be $90!! Are you kidding me??We had our two glasses and left. Not before several other patrons stopped by to tell us they too were shocked. The other patrons also recommended other wineries for us to visit, that treated us much better.

We had a group of seven who came in for tasting, but only 4 of us decided to do the tasting as this was our second stop of the day. I found this place using yelp and decided it was a no brainer to come here with the yelp check in deal of 50% off two tastings combined with the 4.5 star rating they had. two of us showed the server/host our check in deals which should have set us up for 50% off all four tastings. Things got a little awkward at first when I was told that you normally need to "print these things out." I explained that there really isn't a way to print out a yelp check in deal. There was a bit of confusion, and I asked if there was someone else I could speak to about it. I will note that this entire conversation was completely civil, so please don't think of this as a complaint of the conversation that was had. Someone else came out and said that we could use only one of the 50% off yelp check in deals, b/c the computer wouldn't do more than one. In my opinion, they could have easily split things up to two separate parties and added two separate yelp check in deals. We actually pushed tables together to form a larger table, so they could have split the bill and discount up, but I didn't feel like making a big deal out of it and just went along with how things were going. Mid way through, we were told that one of our 6 pours would be one of their nicest bottles to help sort of make up for not honoring the other check in deal. I still didn't and don't agree with them not accepting the other check in deal, but this was a decent way of semi trying to make things right.On to the experience.Jack was pouring for us and walking us through the wines, some of his life story and life experience, and a little bit of everything. Jack was delightful, had good information, answered our questions about the wine, the winery, his life, and secrets to living a long full life. The pours were generous and wine was excellent. I didn't have anything that I didn't like. You get a choice of 6 pours, there are whites and reds to choose from. I went mostly with reds, b/c that is how I get down.The tasting is $35. If you have a group of more than two and want to get the 50% two, split your group up into pairs and just sit at tables next to each other or at the bar. All of the bottles are reasonably priced and I'll probably return at some point.There is a nice clean restroom, there is free street parking. The surrounding area is really nice, the tasting room itself is picturesque both inside and outside, and there are a variety of seating options.

We had our rehearsal dinner here for 70 people and it was perfect! It's great that they have an indoor and outdoor space, and fire pits outside as it can get chilly at night. The location is great for guests as it's right on Sonoma Square so it's close to a number of hotels. I worked with Stephen and they were very flexible in letting us bring in our own caterers and helping get us set up in a million small ways. They were generous in their wine tasting and we loved a number of their reds (cabs, the bough).

Great spot for a wine tasting! We loved our waiter Jack!

Closed early when I drove up from Sausalito. Not worth the drive if you are visiting as a tourist.

Great service, our hostess was so nice. She was very knowledgeable and very generous. Gorgeous industrial ambience, the only thing I would of wished is some bites. Over all the wine was also delicious, my preference was the blend.

This was one the finest wine tasting experience we’ve had. The wine was pretty good but talking to Jack was the highlight of our experience. Thanks Jack for making our wine tasting experience a memorable one!
Good wines, not overpriced. Downtown spot. If you want patio seating with nice views, this is not it.
Kristin Zagurski
Came for the wine, stayed for Jack. What an awesome wine guide! 10/10 recommend.

Located around the Sonoma downtown square. Plenty of parking there. We stopped in around lunch time and ended up doing a quick tasting. We started with the "porch pounder" Sauv blanc and ended with a great pinot noir from the featured flight he added on. The 1887 red blend was our favorite though. Purchase 2 bottles and they waive the tasting fees. The service was outstanding and was very enjoyable to talk to. I wish we had more time and didn't have to rush to an appointment towards the end.

Enjoyed following this the path to this tasting room. Jack was a delight to learn about everything. Stop on and enjoy friendly conversation and wonderful tasting.

Such a nice social spot. Love this hidden gem. Jack helped us out and made our day! Try the Bough!
