Nicholson Ranch is a winery slightly “off the beaten” pass as you’re coming or going from Sonoma to Napa that offers Chardonnay and Pinot noir grown on their estate. Their Cabernet, which is source from Napa and is labeled under the name of the new owner. The tasting flight consists of five wine and is $50. If you buy four bottles or more they wave for tasting fee. The flight includes one Chardonnay, two Pinot Noirs,, a red blend and a Cabernet. The pinots are a bit earthy, musty, and cost around $95/bottle. These are not baby Cabernets. These are very European “Old world” style red wine. The estate is beautiful. There is a Greek church up on the hilltop built by the Nicholson family a while they own some of the land they sold of the winery. The tasting room is beautiful with a big window overlooking the hilltop and they actually play music that gives you the right ambience to just relaxing and enjoy the wine. Mike is a fantastic host and runs a fun and very educational enjoyable wine like podcast.

Terrible customer service, I usually do not give bad reviews to wineries but there is always an exception.

Beautiful vineyard for a wine tasting with picturesque views

We came early in the day and were welcomed by the owner. Very down to earth. The tour by Debbie, a retired geologist, was amazing. (The geology of the region is very cool and indicative of the grapes and wine tasting.) Seeing the storage facility and seeing and experiencing how they make the wine was such a unique experience. The only place where we’ve like all the wine samples, we definitely bought more wine than we were planning too.

It worth every minute. Amazing Winery. Kind people. The building walls, in the last week of July when I got there were, were matching with the hills. Exactly the same color. And then Even the Chardonnay color seems to be part of the nature-men show. Really good esthetics taste. It has been 21 years since the law gave the permit to sell directly to the consumer and they did 21 years of history this year. And wish that the majority celebration come with wine!

Arthur was the best ? beautiful place and kind people <3
Best wine tasting experience I’ve had. The care, hospitality and service was amazing. The wine was delicious and special. The scenery was beautiful and magical. But above all the spirit and care was exceptional.

The staff was absolutely fantastic, so friendly and informative. You could see how passionate they are about the wines and the farming behind the wines. The wines were also stunning, I personally loved the 2016 Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir, but I was not disappointed with any of them. My recommendation, try to come around sunset, we lucked out and accidentally showed up around that time and were treated to a stunning view that took all my thoughts away except for wow.

If you want a really nice tasting experience,with a very nice service and conversation, this is the place. Not crowded, not fancy but very lovelly. I would liked some snacks to the menu. Other than that, an amazing experience.
