“the selection of wines paired with their cheeses and charcuterie was amazing!! Kara was lovely and amazing as well ! loved everything about my experience, would definitely come agian, and I joined the wine club .“
“These wines always impress. Canned white or rosé? The answer is always yes. Three liter box for any celebration or gathering? Definitely. The people behind the label are as complex and authentic as the wines. Oh and the tasting room vibe is worth a visit on its own (IYKYK). Do yourself a favor: make an appointment to taste through the wines with Tristan and be transported.“
“This surpassed all expectations and felt like a dream. Stephen was an amazing tour guide. We started with an atv ride where we got to see more of the vineyard followed by a tour of the wine caves and followed by getting to check out their amazing inside facility. The wine, the atmosphere and the level of expertise shared was all out of this world!“
“Congratulations to this boutique winery! Their reds are smooth, pleasant and maturing. The story of passion and legacy will keep their production going for many years! Looking forward to returning.!“
“Down to earth setting, casual and relaxing allowing for a great place to sit, enjoy wine and have a conversation. The Merlot is by far my favorite. As it has plenty of character, and an amazing finish.“
“Schug Winery was our favorite. Made a reservation for the wine tasting in their cave. It was awesome walking into the cave which opens to a chandelier room very elegant with a great table. Various wines were poured and tasted. Exceptional wines at this winery. We bought a case. I highly recommend this winery for the tour and the wine!“
“Our favourite stop on our Sonoma wine tour! Jesse was pouring for us, and he was such a fantastic host. Friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience so much fun. We absolutely loved all the bubbles, and every wine we tried was incredible. Walt Wines is a must-visit! I highly recommend stopping in for a tasting, you won’t be disappointed.“
“Another winery recommended we visit this winery in Sonoma because of it's story, culture, and quality. Six of us did and it did not dissappoint. Jimmy did a wonderful job of sharing the family history, as well as the history of the winery. He also recommended great wines for us to sample and consider for purchase. I'm glad we availed ourselves to learning about how our Mexican brothers worked the fields, learned the business and became and expert, purchased land, started his on winery, and served two U.S. Presidents (Obama and Bush) and the California Gov (Swarzenegger). Oh, the wine is GREAT!“
“Walking through the estate, you don’t just see vines — you see art, gardens, sculptures, the vineyard landscape. The combining of wine + art + land feels intentional and elevates the experience. It’s not just about tasting wines, but about being somewhere curated.“
“There’s no better luxe wine experience than Corner 103 when visiting Sonoma. Voted one of the best tasting rooms in America, you are presented with a different wine glass for each varietal to enhance the flavor and aroma. For a very special occasion, select the food and wine paring experience. It’s worth the extra cost with a gourmet food parring unlike any other. This is one of the best wine clubs to join with their award-winning wine selection, distinctive events and personalized service.“
“We stopped at Sonoma Plaza during our wine tour with Antony from Small-Group Wine Country Tour from San Francisco with Tastings booked via Tripadvisor. Highway 12 had a red wine blend on their main web page, so we stopped for a quick tasting. The wines were good, and they got us back to our tour on time.“
“We had the Chef's experience and it was absolutely jaw-dropping. The wines by themselves were already incredible but with the pairing it was elevated to another level. Our host, Richard, also made the experience even better by being knowledgeable, passionate and kind. It was the highlight of our trip to Sonoma and Napa valley. We highly recommend this vineyard.“
“Kiv is a total find. The front looks a little rough when you pull up…then you step through and it opens into this unexpected backyard oasis. Big shade umbrellas, fire pits, quiet corners — the kind of spot you settle into for hours.
The wines are fantastic and very reasonably priced. Father’s Watch (pictured) might be one of the best blends anywhere — balanced, silky, and way better than its price point suggests. They’re also working with some rare and hard-to-find varietals, which makes each flight feel different than the usual Sonoma lineup.
The chicken and ricotta bites? Absolute knockout. One of those dishes you order “just to try” and immediately wish you’d doubled.
Service is relaxed but sharp, the atmosphere is great, and there’s a wonderful restaurant next door. Location is solid, but you could easily drive past the humble storefront — don’t.
A+ winery. Total gem.“
“The best winery in California! I would like to thank Don for making the visit spectacular he went out the way to greet us and he was so friendly. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to taste wine and check out the founder and history of wine in the US it’s very intresting.“
“We visited Anaba in October and the tasting room was filled with pumpkins, gourds and beautiful fall colors. I did the tasting of their Pinot Noirs and what a delightful experience. It was such a lovely and relaxing experience. I had time to taste and contrast the 5 Pinots in my flight. I ordered 6 bottles and I am sure I will order more. Thanks Anaba for such a fun time.“
“The owner, Chris, is incredibly knowledgeable and always fun to talk to. Last week was my third tasting there and each time the service and wines have been excellent! Highly recommend!“
“Such an intimate experience on a cold & foggy February morning! So glad I was able to get a coveted spot for tasting! Highly, highly recommend!“
“We have been ordering wine from Bedrock many years. This was our first time to visit. The tasting room is just off the main square in Sonoma. It is located in the historic Joseph Hooker House. We were a few minutes late for our appointment but we were seated immediately. Our tasting started with Under The Wire sparkling wine followed by some the Cuvée Karatas which we liked. The plot twisted in the next two pours. In each of the final two rounds we were offered 3 wines to evaluate side by side. This was super fun. We also ordered the charcuterie board and it was delicious too. We had a wine order already pending so we just added more bottles to this order. We opted to take a bottle of 2009 Griffen's Lair syrah with us to drink at the hotel.“
“If you like wine from Sonoma then I highly recommend Peter Cellars for a stop (yes, that's a play on the name for those that know!). Peter has won gold and double gold prizes for his wines (rightly so) and is happy to pour a decent sized glass and tell you about his winery.
There is no hard sell and we bought some to take home to the UK. The wine is truly excellent, it speaks for itself, and pricing reflects this in a good way.
The tasting is on a veranda surrounded by olive trees and vines and on our visit we met four very beautiful and friendly labradors. The winery is very do-able on a day trip from San Francisco.
We found Peter Cellars through Edge of the World Tours in San Francisco which I also highly recommend. Ask for Anthony.“
“I had a wonderful afternoon here. I didn't know what to taste, so I was guided by Kim who was so helpful and gave me a great tasting experience! The courtyard is beautiful with olive and lemon trees, just lovely. I highly recommend this winery experience!“
“Absolutely one of the best wineries in Sonoma🍷 If you like Cabernet this is the place! Just off the Sonoma square, ask for Mark, he makes you feel like old friends!!!“
“This is our favorite spot in Sonoma. We live on the east coast and visit every fall. Of course we are part of the wine club! Not only is their wine fantastic but they also go above and beyond in showing hospitality. It’s special here. This is a small, family run winery. Deepak (owner, winemaker) is always there to say hello and chat and makes you feel so welcome. On this most recent trip, our friends who were also visiting CA joined us for a first time visit to Nicholson Ranch, and Jessi knocked it out of the park. She provided a lovely educational tasting experience and cave tour which included both Nicholson and Gulrajani wines, followed by some ‘heavy snacks’ (try the burrata with pistachio, it was amazing) … oh… and a lot of laughs. A great time was had by all. We will always come back.“
“Great place to visit Great wine and food ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“
“Our favorite stop out of 5 days in Sonoma/Napa! We enjoyed the wine here more than any of the high dollar, fancy vineyards we visited!
Great wines, great setting, and a very friendly host!
Personal favorites were the 2021 Merlot from Pickberry Vyd and the 2019 Cab Sav, but it’s a hard pick because everything was fantastic.“
“Delicious food, great for taking photos and relaxing, relaxed atmosphere“
“Super fun tasting experience and the wines are like nothing I've ever had before in California. Hardey (the owner) walked me through the tasting and was super awesome to converse with, while educating me about the wines, the grapes, the techniques to making them, philosophy, everything.
Highly recommend this winery. The 2024 yeah! Was so so good, and Im still thinking about the orange wine.“
“My husband and I came here on the whim and we enjoyed ourselves more here than at the previous wineries we had been too. George was very knowledgeable and kind and very honest with us towards his favorites, his experience and he provided some great stories and made some excellent recommendations. I would highly recommend coming here! It was such a welcoming environment and we enjoyed every single moment of it! 😊“
“We stumbled upon this place by complete chance and we were met with surprise after surprise. Who knew about Kamen’s history ! Maybe people do but we certainly didn’t. It was really interesting to learn about his past - starting all the way back in india in kashmir and ending at where he did - a winning screenplay writer and certainly a winning Cabernet for us! This was the best Cabernet we had in the region. Not overpowering yet so complex. Mark herold is a magician with his winemaking and Kamen himself is a magician given everything he touches turns to gold! Great stop. Andi hosted us at the tasting room and was a great story teller! We would highly recommend“
“My sweetie and I stopped by for the yummy wine and the overall lovely views! We were not disappointed!“
“I visited Ricci Vineyards a couple days ago and can not say enough about the quality of the wines. Tyler and Jim provided very a interesting history of the family vineyards. The tasting atmosphere is totally Sonoma. It is very laid back surrounded by beautiful vineyards hosted by folks the are truly passionate about what they do and want make sure you enjoy the experience.“
“We did a Groupon for the Sampler Tasting at Roger Roessler Wines while we were in the Sonoma/Napa area. Aaron and I had a great time. Ethan was the gentleman that did our tasting. He made it such a great experience. In fact, Aaron told him I usually don’t buy wine at tastings and I ended up buying 6 bottles. If you are in the area, Groupon or not, please reserve your wine tasting here, you won’t be disappointed.“
“Excellent Pinot Noirs, Neil is terrific.“
“Best winery in Sonoma. Small mom & pop type winery on just 20 acres. Personable, Chriss gave a wonderful wine tasting experience. Be sure to book in advance, reservation required. Their 2017 Pinot Noir was my favorite. My friends enjoyed there Syrah's too. Thank you Chriss!!“
“Terrific wines. Many Pinots, Chards and Cabs.“
“The wine doesn't taste good.
Probably because of European Italian wine, the taste is very bland, without layers, and very dry.
Except for the first glass of sparkling rose, which was okay, the rest of the red was not good.“
“I’ve been a member of Cliff Lede and several Wilson wineries, all of which I love, but this has become my favorite. I think Shane is an excellent winemaker and the variety of wines is amazing. I drink mostly reds (love especially the Hermit blend and blaufrankisch as well as the cab franc) but the Albariño white is excellent as well. The virtual tastings in the past two years have also been great introductions to the wines. Highly recommend.“
“Tom Was amazing! This was our first tasting on our first day in Sonoma and he made sure we were taken care of. He was also helpful with dining in the area. The outside patio was a great casual vibe and I would definitely recommend this place for any wine enthusiast!“
“Wow, what a great find! We visited Ceja through Sonoma Bike Tours- and we had a fantastic time. My party is well versed in wine and well travelled- and we were impressed with our Ceja experience! The wine (especially the Chardonnay, red blend, and dessert wine) was consistently great. I highly recommend doing the wine tasting.Don’t miss out about learning about the family story, too!“
“My husband and I loved our tasting with Katy. She truly is a master vintner. Thank you for a memorable afternoon!!“
“Awesome tasting experience. Great wines“

“I am a bit delayed in posting this, but my partner and I delighted in the full tasting menu at Ram’s Gate. I’ve enjoyed many tastings throughout wine country and Ram’s Gate has one of the better, more elevated experiences at a reasonable price (if I may add)! I am not even a fan of carrots but the carrot risotto was one of my favorite courses. That should say a lot about the quality of food being delivered by culinary team here.
The property is beautiful and the staff was very friendly. We were greeted with bubbles while we waited for our reservation in the gorgeous courtyard. We even got some amazing local food recommendations from our server! I’d highly recommend and will definitely come back!“
“Visit this Winery in September, and book the private Gazebo, the staff here was friendly and our server was great and knowledgeable and was able to accommodate us, also they have the best charcuterie board set, a must get while you are here!“
“This review is specifically for Charlie. He is such a gem of a person and we were so lucky that he was the one doing our tasting because it took our already 5 star experience to a 10. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the vineyard and the wine. It was such an actual joy to listen to him speak about each wine and with such detail cause you could really tell that he cares about the vineyard but also the experience of the customer. The wine was also incredible and we ended up bringing back a lovely bottle of pinot noir back to New Jersey with us and will definitely be looking for this in our local stores. I highly recommend coming here to catch the sunset as it was stunning and felt like we were in a movie! I loved my experience here and would recommend this to anyone visiting, it was a true highlight for us during our stay. Thank you Charlie and go Eagles!“
