Jesse was very knowledgeable about each of the wonderful Walt Wines that we enjoyed. The setting was casual and welcoming. I'm sure we'll go again!

We really enjoyed our tasting at WALT. Our wine advisor was very entertaining and welcoming of our 5 yr old son. We can't wait to visit again.

I visited WALT Wines in Sonoma yesterday afternoon with a friend, excited to enjoy a wine tasting experience. Unfortunately, what we encountered was incredibly disappointing and frankly disheartening.
When we arrived and asked for a wine tasting for two, the person working at the reception told us there was no availability — not even space to enjoy a glass of wine. We offered to wait patiently for an opening, fully understanding that reservations sometimes take priority. However, we were quickly and firmly told that waiting wouldn’t be an option either, as they had “guests with reservations coming.” The entire interaction felt dismissive and unnecessarily unwelcoming.
The way we were treated made us feel discriminated against and very uncomfortable, as if our presence was not wanted for reasons that went beyond simple logistics. It left a bad taste — one that no wine could ever fix.
It’s hard to shake the feeling that the employee simply didn’t want us there. Whether that was due to poor training, bad attitude, or something else, I cannot say for sure — but I can say with confidence that it’s not how customers should be treated at any establishment, especially one that promotes itself as a premium wine experience.
Based on how we were treated, I absolutely cannot recommend WALT Wines to anyone. There are countless other wineries in Sonoma and Napa where guests are made to feel truly welcome. Spend your time and money elsewhere — you deserve it.

Had a fantastic time here. The pinot noir selection was impressive, and the quality was exceptional. But what really made the experience stand out was the knowledge and expertise of the staff.
My host, Kyle, was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, sharing fascinating insights into the vineyards, and the nuances of each varietal. It was clear that they were all passionate about the wines and eager to share that passion.
Left feeling educated, enlightened, and eager to return. If you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a great experience. Walt is a must-visit!

Had such a great experience here. Kyle was our server. He told us so much and taught us a ton! The wine was great and the service was great as well. Will definitely be back
We had the most friendly, educational, and fun Pinot tasting at Walt. Our wine educator was Elan; and he was simply lovely! He guided us through the different kinds of soil, regions of grape growing and flavors. It was just perfect! We highly recommend Walt for their exceptional tasting wines and their amazing and fun staff, like Elan. Just a wonderful experience!

Jesse was a wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable educator! We had a lovely time enjoying all the Pinot Noirs. Our favorite was Bob's Ranch, which reminded us of a Cab Sav. We ordered a few bottles of it, along with Gap's Crown too!

We love the wines and plush atmosphere of the tasting room. The staff was outstanding as well.
