20 Best Wineries in Windsor

“I had heard amazing things about this winery from other locals in Sonoma, but finally decided to check it out for myself! Laura was amazing in helping me select/book our tasting, as they have so many incredible options. We decided to book the ‘soaring’ experience, which included the most delicious, unique, flavorful food and wine pairings. I am truly still dreaming about every food pairing we had, I felt like I was in a Michelin star restaurant. The curry was definitely the star of the show for me, but every single bite/sip we had was truly exceptional.
Allie warmly welcomed us to the winery and made sure to encourage us to enjoy the (STUNNING) grounds both before and after our tasting, while handing us a delicious glass of bubbles to enjoy.
Taryn and Michael were the most personable, knowledgable hosts- we really enjoyed learning about the wines/winery, but also just talking and laughing with them. We never had empty glasses or had to wait for service- they were perfectly attentive while still giving us space to enjoy our experience.
The entire staff was very generous during our visit, including a few extra tastings of their personal favorite wines. I really appreciate that they invite every type of experience you could want- whether that be enjoying a bottle with friends while playing a board game, or treating yourself to a special food and wine pairing experience- all at a very welcoming price.

Thank you Bricoleur for being my new favorite winery!“

“We spent a few days in Russian River and had a recommendation to visit Bruliam Wines. We signed up for a tasting and had a WONDERFUL experience! Our tasting was just the two of us and Kerith the winemaker. Her wines are excellent and we learned a lot about the region. Kerith also gave us a tour of the winemaking facility, which was fascinating. We HIGHLY recommend taking the time to visit Bruliam Wines! Kerith’s passion about what she does and being able to spend time with her was a high point of our trip.“

“Phenomenal setting in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Stick with the Pinots. Will be back (tomorrow).“

“Good wines and a great location and view. Highly recommend the Vineyard if you are in the area…“

“We had a great tasting at DuMOL! Erin C., the hospitality lead, was fun and also really knowledgable and enthusiastic about the wines. DuMOL is know for its estate vineyard Pinot Noirs, but the Chardonnay and Syrah were also excellent. The MacIntyre Pinot was the stand out, but everything was great and good value for the quality. We bought a case of wine and will be back!“

“Delicious cider! Pretty much all of them are dry, several taste like the apple version of champagne, and lots of unique and fun apple varietals plus fruit infusions. The gentleman, David, who has been there every time we go is very friendly and knowledgeable. We like to grab tasty takeout and do some cider tasting. Check it out.“

“Our five-star tasting experience more than offset the cold , foggy and damp weather. Olga and Martin, owners and winemaker,
poured the wines, which are of high quality. Besides the more recent Sauvignon Blanc and Rose Merlot vintages, we savored several older Pinot noirs, Zinfandels, and Malbec.
The price point of every wine was very reasonable for its quality.“

“First off, I love this place! Great local business that combines two of my favorite things: wine and dogs :-) Customer service is wonderful and people are always very nice and helpful. Cute shop with so much to look at and buy. Once a month, they have a different animal charity that they donate the proceeds from that day when you buy a glass of wine for $10 or a bottle for $40, etc. A must see local business with grand taste and sweet atmosphere!“

“My girlfriend Angelica and I had such a wonderful and memorable experience at Taddei Wines. The owners Chris and Dana gave us a private tasting and immediately welcomed us like we were family.
Because of his superior reputation, his generous spirit and active nvolvment in the local wine community, Chris has access to some of the best Vineyards in Sonoma and Napa. His Wines are consistently balanced, complex, yet unique and deliciously distinct in flavor and profile. There truly is no other wine like his in this area.
During the tasting, His passion for winemaking came through as he had us try different vintages of the same varietal and on numerous occassions, he pulled barrel samples of wine that was in various stages of aging and development.
Both Chris and Dana were so generous and kindhearted that the afternoon passed by effortlessly and before we knew it, we had been there for hours. Special shout out to club members James and Nina, who encouraged us to give Taddei Wines a try.
We happily joined the club and look forward to drinking their wine and visiting when possible. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get in every bottle. I highly recommend you give this small boutique winery a try. Thank you Chris and Dana for being such wonderful and generous people that make fantastic and excellent wine.“

“We had such a lovely time with Brian today at Martinelli Winery. He was so knowledgeable, warm and friendly. He made our time in wine country THE BEST!! Definitely recommend a visit to this winery...and ask for Brian!! Thank you for a memorable experience!“

“This is absolutely some of the best wine not only in Windsor but in the greater region — the TS team work magic on lesser-known varietals, so you won’t find wines like this anywhere else. Hunter was a fantastic host in the tasting room, talking us through their philosophy while also making the wines approachable for less experienced drinkers. Also, talk about great bottle prices!“

“Having a wonderful time with my friend who’s birthday 🥳 it is and moving away. Service is fabulous, music is wonderful, and just having a wonderful time in this wonderful atmosphere.“

“Beautiful guest house . The view was spectacular.. enjoyed our private tasting and loved Molly! Great time walking around the vineyard and seeing how the grapes were picked. Would definitely recommend staying here and we hope to be back. The Heidenreich’s“

“Loved all of the Zin's and the Petite Syrah. Amazing tasting experience with Kim & Phyllis!“

“Bought and blind tasted the Grenache Blanc Marsanne blend and absolutely loved it. Sharing it with family with the same very positive response from all. Notes on the nose of hay with balanced acidity makes this an absolute pick for the cellar. Highly recommend!“

“Super nice and helpful staff. I was one 10' t-post short for my tomato trellis. Rather than drive to Home Depot in Ukiah again, my father in-law recommended VIP. I called them up and they said come on down - ended giving me a post at no charge. Class act. Saved me a ton of time, gas, and money.“

“Bellacana is is our tribal winery, Dry Creek Rancheria of Alexander Valley. It's a great beginning!! Wonderful wines!!!“
