I had a wonderful experience at Bricoleur! We did the Rooted Tasting and they were very accommodating to my dietary restrictions of no pork/shellfish, and even better- that didn't make me sacrifice quality at all! The dishes were amazing, my husband said his scallop dish was his favorite thing he ate all trip.
It was all paired very well and we very much enjoyed our wines-- the pinots and the Isla Rose rosé were my favorites.
For anyone who doesn't want to do formal pairings, they also offer delicious pizzas and a bowl of french fries the size of my head. My toddler was in heaven.
The property is massive and stunning-- would be a great place for an event!
10/10 would recommend if you're visiting Healdsburg or Windsor!
We did the Rooted wine pairing on Nov 18, 2024 then the Soaring experience on August 18, 2025. Being a club member, we received discounts for Rooted and complementary Soaring. Rooted is a 6 course wine pairing, available any day but need to book ahead. Soaring is small snack size sampler with wine. Rooted is definitely the way to go. The food is amazing with the service to match. We love the barn atmosphere as well as the outdoor garden. It's one of the better wine pairing in Sonoma region. Love it.
Update: added photos from Oct 2021. I remember how delicious the melon was...
Such a beautiful property and space. Everyone was so friendly. Our Uber driver even noted that this was a great place to pick for our weekend visit. Would definitely recommended!
If a picture could say a thousand words... Absolutely loved both the food and wine. The courses were beautiful, complex , thoughtfully constructed with texture and flavour in mind. Puppy got a special dish as well ❤️❤️. And the wine...how nice to find delicious wine and delicious food, I will come here again and again, and will recommend this as #1 in the area!
This was a winery we waited a year to visit. It was highly recommended last year on our trip to Napa. It was a little bit of a let down. We visited on a day they were short staffed. Not much hospitality from our host who was new. Reviews are so great, so I think we just caught them on a bad day. Would have been nice to hear more about the winery and property. I felt as though they just poured the wine and brought the bites and that was about all. Wines were great and souring was wonderful. Just wished it was a better visit like the other reviews mentioned. 🥲
I would like to amend my review. Very impressed that Taylor reached out to offer an apology. I knew our visit was not the experience that Bricoleur is known for. I will come back next summer when I visit wine country. Thank you Taylor for reaching out to me and mostly the apology.
This place is amazing! We did the Rooted pairing which had 5 courses, 6 wines, and a bonus glass of welcome sparkling. The wine and food pairing was impeccably done, with careful attention paid to the perfect grouping with one elevating the other.
The grounds are stunning and worth walking around with a glass of wine in hand before or after.
Bring your pup!
Love this place! Took me a long time to figure out but learned I LOVE wine from the kickback ranch area. Bricoleur easily has one of the better tasting menus in wine country at a great value for the quality of food and wine. I’d opt for the full tasting menu over the soaring. It’s worth it! We were celebrating two birthdays as well and the staff put a lot of effort to personalize the moment. Truly, great service and attention to detail.
Also, the grounds are lovely and you get free range to sip and roam after the tasting.
You may be asking then, why four stars? I was a wine club member but due to some mixed experiences with the club membership I decided to discontinue. Some highlights of issues I’d encourage Bricoleur to address:
#1 Wine shipment was damaged and the shipping partner sent the wine back to Bricoleur (which was the right thing to do) but even though bricoleur accepted the shipment back I was left in the dark on what was happening. I thought the shipment was lost and had to pursue updates from the carrier to get updated. My opinion: Bricoleur should have reached out to me promptly upon accepting the damaged shipment.
#2 Reserved a soaring experience which is their 3 course tasting menu. Such a different experience than the full tasting. There’s an adorable golden retriever onsite. They decided to visit our table, which was basically a coffee table where we were lounged, and didn’t want to leave. They wedged themself under the table at our feet and it made it hard for our group to relax and focus on the experience. Love dogs but didn’t really want to guard my food and wine from fur and the possible lick.
#3 Several times when ordering wine online there seem to be stock issues or website issues. The website told me a particular wine was out of stock just to find out it was in stock when I emailed the club. The alternative was also true. I’d order a wine to be emailed by the club that it was not in stock. I get it, stuff happens, but when these situations arose (especially the latter) nobody from the club went above and beyond to make up for the poor experience. You can only hear “i’m sorry” so many times before it doesn’t really mean anything.
Bricoleur was our first winery visit in the region, and it was a memorable experience. The staff were very knowledgeable and had answers for all our questions.
The setting and wines were all great. For our first visit, we did the Soaring tasting/pairing and the food was also excellent.
It was nice to walk the property. There is a pond where there is less foot traffic (and a number of swinging benches) and it was so lovely just having a glass of rose and swinging by the pond.
Definitely members of the wine club now and we look forward to heading back (and getting regular wine deliveries)!
Amazing place! Such a beautiful location, beautiful views. The wine is so good and the people here are nice and inviting. Definitely coming back.
First time my wife and I stopped by was Saturday and we were both impressed by the property. Beautiful tasting room and patio. Incredible architecture and overall just great Vibe. Our Server was Mike and honestly, he elevated our experience from a 9/10 to an 11. 100% will be going back and requesting that he serves us. Good wine, casual environment, didn’t eat the pizza but they smelled great, beautiful property, every single employee we talked with was so cool.

Love love love this winery! The wines are great, but my favorite part is the beautiful property and their excellent food program. Plus, it's super dog/kid friendly, they have lots of n/a options, and it's just so easy to recommend to any group because they're so accommodating to everyone. Just did the picnic experience finally and 10/10 would recommend. Come hungry.
Bricoleur is such a gem! We did the ROOTED tasting experience in their gorgeous barn, which overlooks the vines, lake and gardens. The people were so friendly and shared so much interesting information about the history of the property, the region and the wines. We truly enjoyed every wine we tasted and the food pairings were sooooo delicious. The chef is clearly phenomenal and made a point to say hello during our tasting.
This was our favorite winery experience in Sonoma, we can't recommend it highly enough!
Mother’s Day brunch did not disappoint! We were seated indoors at a perfect table for our family. Even though they were busy, our host (the ever wonderful Michael) and the culinary team were anmazing and made sure we enjoyed the entire experience . Michael’s wine expertise and expert hospitality was nothing short of perfection. He has the perfect balance of warmth, wine knowledge and charm for all the mother’s at the table, even recommending a spectacular pairing at the dessert finale. Hats off to the exquisite home baked pastries and elegant pairings. We can’t wait to return soon!
Our experience was outstanding—the food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. The only hiccup was realizing upon arriving home that the cheese and cake from our package were missing from the to-go order. Thankfully, the restaurant resolved the issue promptly and courteously, demonstrating their commitment to customer satisfaction. Despite this small oversight, we had a wonderful time and are already planning our next visit!
Food and wine pairing was excellent.
