Wineries near Guerneville

“Amazing experience! The view is astonishing!Our group enjoyed every wine we tasted so much that we had to take some home for us and as gifts. We love wine and this wine was delicious.The hosts, Peggy and Kevin were so sweet and fun, it was a private tasting but it also felt like we were with family. They both made it so enjoyable. We learned so much about local wines from them. The house is gorgeous and they are lovers of art which added to the experience. Not to mention Kevin played a great playlist for us and it felt like a party.I Can’t wait to come back with more friends and family to share this with.“

“What a wonderful experience! We highly recommend this winery for their wine and tastings. The wines are varied and superb. Jonathan's service was excellent - very informative and very personable. It's a really lovely informal setting. We keep going back!“

“I spent a lovely afternoon listening to live music, enjoying their Zin Master zinfandel, and loving the friendly and comfortable vibe. It is truly a family business, and the great flavor of the wine reflects the care they take in everything they do. It is a small and very comfortable tasting room. Customer service is top notch. I enjoyed the pesto, provolone and prosciutto panini. We spent a lot of time last summer going to wineries that our visitors chose. I wish I knew about Spicy Vines then! I'll be back soon. (They also make brandy and serve great beer for those in your group who aren't into wine.)“

“Alex was a wonderful host! Our family took the tour of the facility, and it was educational and fun! The wine and cheese pairings were delicious.Absolutely would come back for another visit! We HIGHLY recommend you enjoy the wonderful experience!“

“We didn't get to spend as much time at MacRostie than we probably would have liked, but my friend dumped a whole glass of red wine right onto his pants. But our time there with Corey was great. He was very friendly and welcoming, and explained a lot about the various wines we tried. He procured a charcuterie box for us as we were starving around lunch time and it really hit the spot. We sat outside looking towards the road and it was a beautiful day. Overall an excellent experience.“

“Portalupi offers a number of wines that diverge from most of what you'll find at the majority of wineries in northern Sonoma County. Starting with a Barbera-based sparkler (a little drier, please). After wading through a couple of decent dry whites (Arneis, Vermentino), and skipping some of the lighter reds, we moved on to some of the bolder offerings: Barbera, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo-- all winners. Dolinsek Pinot was a nice surprise; a departure from the rest of the (Italian) lineup. The host of our group of six was friendly, informative and engaging, with just the right balance between taking us through the flight and giving us space to socialize among ourselves and discuss the wines“

“We were very impressed with the delightful service we received. I'm not a drinker and they welcomed me and brought enough food samples for me to join the others in our group. I especially enjoys the cheese selections. Everyone tasting the wine had a favorite. Not pretentious and down home welcoming. Refreshing“

“BACA is a beautiful winery, with gorgeous views to supplement the wine! My friends and I had high expectations, and they were well met - it was a fantastic experience, thanks to our amazing guide Eric, who was very knowledgeable and took us through a delicious and informative tasting. I highly recommend checking out BACA for the wine, the experience, the service and the atmosphere“

“We did a walk in tasting and the experience was wonderful! Evalina and Ethan took great care of us and taught us a lot about how sparkling wine is made! We signed up for a membership and are super excited to get these bubbles on the regular! The story behind this woman owned winery is awesome and we’re happy to support them!“

“This was such a fun Tasting! We had a great time with this diverse and knowledgeable staff…not to mention an absolutely amazing choice of Pinots! It was most delicious paired with our cheese and bruschetta tray. Thank you for the great education, stories, laughs and a wonderful wine!“

“We popped here towards the end of the day and they were able to let us buy a bottle to enjoy there and some snacks. They were kind to accommodate a last minute stop. The grounds are gorgeous...so many cute and private areas to enjoy a picnic like garden tasting. We only tried 1 red but was a great suggestion by staff. It's actually close to town so we walked back along the wide shoulder road. Definitely worth a stop!“

“Very much enjoyed our wine tasting yesterday, delicious zins, this place has a really cool and open vibe and seems like a excellent place to be on a warm day. Lots of natural light and a big outdoor space which isn't that common for a Healdsburg tasting room..“

“A most memorable tasting experience always: exceptional wines, a superbly knowledgeable team, and beautiful tasting room. Joseph Jewell Winery consistently over delivers and exceeds expectations by offering superior customer service, ethereal wines ranging from Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay to single vineyard Pinot Noirs that can age beautifully yet be delicious when young. Highest compliments to winemaker Adrian for his stellar hospitality, dedicated artistry, and resourcefulness in finding terrific grapes from a broad range of appellations. Grateful Cheers to Joseph Jewell Winery!“

“Awesome wine, awesome music, awesome service. What more can you ask for? We stumbled here last Saturday night after eating dinner next door. Heard the live music from the street which drew our attention into this establishment. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the wine (Pinot and Sparkling) was. I'll need to look into this winery a little more as there's some serious winemaking going on. We'll be back!!“

“Love this spot! Super cute tasting room in a shared complex with great wines and ambiance! Started by an incredible husband-and-wife team, Smith Story wines are so thoughtfully made and really overdeliver for the price. I loved the new Filigreen Farm Pinot Noir, and the Cab Franc and Sparkling are always in my rotation. The tasting room itself is a super cute space. Dusty provided us with excellent service and knowledge, ensuring we had a ton of fun on our stop. There are quite a few different places to sit and there's a wood-fired pizza stand in the complex, if you want to eat while you taste. Definitely check out Ali's curation of vintage glassware while you're there (if only I could've taken it all home with me), and take a pic with the mural wall on the patio. My only regret is that I don't live in the area to make Smith Story my regular hangout!“

“We have been a member of the Wine Road since its inception in the 1970s. This group continues the good work of reaching out to consumers across the nation and globally to inform and send visitors our way. Their map, the website, the events held each year continue to point folks to northern Sonoma County and the three wine appellations it encompasses.“

“I discovered RYME at my favorite wine bars, Céleste in North Beach SF. We decided to visit RYME tasting room to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday (with dogs, babies, & sober company in tow). This was such a beautiful tasting venue, the staff was amazing, and the wine was fantastic. Everyone in our group was able to enjoy something including the N/A options. Would highly recommend - thank you RYME for a celebration to remember!“

“The finest wine tasting experience in all of Sonoma County. We were greeted by Camille, a charming and knowledgeable woman with family roots from both Russian River Valley and Dijon, France. We saw soil samples from the different properties and learned how that variable influenced the various single-clone Chardonnays produced at this world-class estate.“

“Ok if the wines are extraordinary, Rob is even more! Charismatic and so easy to understand through his presentation. Came here with our son and daughter in law as their first visit to Sonoma and they loved it! The Pinots are amazing and the Chardonnay is outstanding ?. Hope you visit them!“

“We were here for the Wine Road barrel tasting weekend and they've put out their three best wines, Nebiolo, Montepulciano, and Sangiovese, for the tasting.Very friendly winemaker and staff. There's a mini Italian market inside and they were giving out samples of the panetonne and a spicy sausage pasta.There were tables outside in the back patio with a nice view of the vines. No outside food allowed.“

“Wonderful little tasting room in downtown Healdsburg in the square. My husband and I drove up from Sacramento to meet his sister and brother in law. We ended up being pretty early so decided to pop in to kill some time because why not? We were the first people in so we got started immediately. I was handed a little menu showing what they offer and what tasting flights they had. I am a big red fan so I went that route. The lady helping us out was SO sweet and we ended up talking with her like we knew her for years which really made for a memorable first experience. It was becoming quite difficult for me to choose which I liked between the pours so she gave me two glasses and poured two wines so that I could compare. I had never seen that before and thought it was really thoughtful and it really helped me find what I liked best. I really appreciated that she left the bottle next to the glass as well so I could remember what I was tasting. As time went on other couples came in to pick up their wines as there was a pick up party at another winery in the square and we ended up meeting another couple from Sacramento! If it weren't for our lunch reservations, I could have stayed there all day and now I'm on a mission to find their winery.“

“We came as a late birthday celebration for my dad and our tasting was amazing. Our host Natalie was incredible. Informative, fun, relatable and full of energy. She truly made our tasting memorable. Wines were phenomenal and would highly recommend.“

“We simply cannot get enough Hartford!We had a large group in from NC and Pete took excellent care of us. The tasting is always fantastic, and the whole Hartford property is so beautiful. We’ve been members since 2017- and certainly one of our favorite wineries in Sonoma. ❤️“

“Visiting from Boston and came to Sonoma for the day. We came to Bacchus landing. Montagne Russe is the best winery we’ve been to. Kevin Bersofsky is the wine maker and makes the best wine. If you like white, if you like red, come to this place. You’ll learn a lot, drink phenomenal wine, and leave in a better mood than you came in with. Love this place!!“

“Came here with my girlfriend last week and it was by far the best wine tasting experience for both of us. Mark has a much more laid back environment for the tasting and he’s also the most welcoming, especially for wine novices like us. I will continue to buy Blanchard wines“

“My husband and I had an exceptional wine tasting provided by Kyle. It was their wine club pick-up party so they were not initially taking walk-in tastings. As we were headed out to their other location, a gentleman ran to fetch us saying they could accommodate our tasting - which we thought was incredible customer service. In a very busy environment, Kyle provided our tasting, full of knowledge and good conversation. The wine was an added bonus as it was delicious - and don’t forget about the cheese pairing! Definitely the best money spent on our trip! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Mill Creek was the highlight of our time in Healdsburg. Our guide, Josh, was terrific and made us feel right at home. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. He was both knowledgeable and polite. The wine was superb, and we cannot wait to return with friends and family. We would highly recommend.“

“Very nice wines. They are known for their Chardonnay and Pinot noirs. There is a $25, $35 and $45 tasting. With the $25 you get 4 tastes and the $45 you get 6 tastes. What a nice place to hang out and sip wine. The interior is deco modern and it's walking distance to some restaurants in the heart of the downtown area.“

“Don't mind me, just casually in love with Comstock Wines. Upon arriving and walking through the breezeway towards the outdoor tasting grounds, I could tell I was gonna like the vibe here, and that was before the welcome pour of bubbles! We headed into the tasting room to check in to taste, we didn't have a reservation but they were happy to accommodate us. As mentioned, we were given a welcome pour of bubbly, my mom doesn't like bubbles and didn't plan to taste, but she was still given a welcome pour of her choice of two different white wines they had open!We went outside and picked where we wanted to sit, then were given the run down and tasting options by our tasting associate, Jason. We then enjoyed our welcome pours while deciding what to do. Though I typically go for the mixed flight option, their red flight wines were really speaking to me, and I'm glad I listened. Glasses were brought out then wines were brought out 2 at a time. I enjoyed learning about the grapes, where they came from, and everything else that was shared with us. Jason was extremely knowledgeable and fun to chat with. The property was spectacular. It was well maintained, the views were beautiful, and I loved that you were able to walk around to really experience it. I ended up going home with 3 bottles of wine, one of which has already been consumed before writing this review. Highly recommend Comstock if you want good wine in a beautiful setting, and with great service.“

“My husband and I went to CIN in Windsor, CA and had the RollerCoaster Red by Meeker Vineyards. It was SO Delicious that we decided to go to the winery the next day and try some more of their wines. We had a wonderful afternoon talking with Katherine while she poured many of their wines for us. We also got a chance to talk with the winemaker, Lucas Meeker and really enjoyed learning so much about their wines and the processes he uses. No understatement: THEIR WINES ARE AMAZING! Their tasting room is a little bit hard to find but totally worth it. They were very welcoming and willing to share their wines and knowledge with us. We went home with two cases of wine: one of RollerCoaster Red and an assortment of all their other reds. Worth adding this winery to your tasting afternoon.“

“Arista was an excellent experience! The grounds are breathtaking and intimate, and the wine selection was fantastic. Rhonda was very knowledgeable and helped us learn about what we were drinking. We absolutely loved our time at Arista and I very much look forward to returning next time I'm in Sonoma County.“

“Had an excellent wine experience while at Flanagan on 12/29/2023. Tara Kelley was our host that day and she made our experience very pleasant. She created an environment of relaxation and was very soft spoken which allowed us to relax and soak in the wines. We enjoyed many of the wines and joined their wine club and are looking forward to receiving our first shipment. Highly recommend.“

“If you think you don't like chardonnay, you haven't had their chardonnay; all the wine was quite good, but the chardonnay made us rethink what the varietal could be. You'll want to write home to your parents to tell them you are moving in with the chardonnay and planning your new life together. When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with a chardonnay, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. No joke. It's that good.“

“Absolute must-go!!! The staff were very friendly, helpful and gave our group lots of information on the wines. We never felt unattended to. ALL of the wines were fabulous, and the pours were very generous. The inside of the tasting room was adorable, plus there was a dog there too! Bonus points for the brownie that came with the tasting. Would absolutely recommend to visit!“

“Loved a unplanned stop here have purchased Siduri at home in Oregon & noticed the Willamette Valley connection. Their 1000 mile Pinot Noir tasting is fantastic ~ start with their Oregon vineyards & end with their Santa Barbara vineyards. They also have a Pinot blend tasting. Thanks to Tonya, lots of knowledge, information & opinion ~ all added to a nice visit & excellent wine. For having only Pinot Noir, the differences in side by side tasting is fantastic.“

“If you enjoy Rose, Chardonnay and or Pinot Noir, this has to be on your radar. Formally known under the Brand of Aldenali; different name, same high quality, small production wine you'd expect from owner Dan Kosta. Each of these wines, is an excellent representation of their varietal. The tasting room has a warm and inviting vibe that is relaxed and unpretentious making it accessible for those learning about wine and the aficionado. I highly recommend visiting Convene at Bacchus.“
