Wineries near San Rafael

“Have had great experience with these guys. Wine was shipped timely- as I was informed and in great condition. I think it's important to know before ordering that what you may be ordering may not actually be in the U.S. yet and if you want it urgently- then you may have to wait. Also, importantly, most wine shippers, appropriately do not ship during the hottest months of the year to reduce the risk of damage to the wine. Keep up the good work guys.“

“Too much heavy-handed focus on guests spending money in their Star Wars gift store. First 2 wine pours we had while standing and with guide narrating. Next were seated pours of only 2 reds with a tasty charcuterie board that we were not allowed time to finish in order to press on to the the museum tour and gift store. We were told we could wrap the snacks in a napkin and hide somewhere if we wanted to finish the food outside these buildings. Tacky when we were tasting $77 wines. The guide and 2 trainees handed us all shopping baskets to fill at the gift store. We did not. Go for the great Star Wars art museum with great guide, if possible but skip the wine tasting. Also, their wine is not cheap. Maybe you're paying for their Skywalker bottle logos too???“

“We love to come here to relax with a beautiful pink bubbly. I brought my step mom with me one afternoon, and the wait person was so much fun! He joked with us, brought us a beautiful charcuterie board, and told us a few stories about the bar and its patrons. We had a lovely visit, and my step mom was very impressed, which was important. We've been back many times, and we love their wines.“

“We recently hosted our company Holiday party in the banquet room at Trek Winery. The room was perfect, plenty of space to mingle and plenty of seating. There are wine barrels lining the walls, a large stage area on one side of the room and a bar area on the other. Food was provided by Trek and it was amazing, the tri-tip and chicken were great. Kids and adults approved! The staff was very helpful in setting up, providing all the place settings, tables, drinks, food, glassware, microphone, music, etc. If you are looking for an easy venue to host an event with little to no stress of planning I highly recommend Trek Winery.“

“We got married at Pacheco Ranch Winery - from the moment we met Deb and Herb and walked the grounds, to the cleanup after the big day, we loved every second we spent here.We couldn't describe more ideal hosts for our wedding - Deb and Herb were kind and thoughtful, extremely professional and prompt, super flexible, and an absolute joy to work with. With all our questions and extra visits, we always felt welcome and accommodated at Pacheco Ranch.On the day of the wedding, Herb and Deb were directing traffic, managing vendors, and clearly enjoying every moment of it. They take so much pride and love in caring for their home, and it shows in the natural beauty that flows throughout the ranch.“

“We heard so much about this place, we came over from San Francisco specifically to try it out! What a perfect spot to have a taste of some amazing wines and an array of incredible cheeses and crackers. You walk inside and it’s a little shop with a bar counter on the right. You order what you like and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view!! I am so looking forward to coming back on my next visit. Make it a point to stop in, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“New to the area, we came in to try this place, based on great reviews and, well, WINE. The interior is cozy and welcoming but we were drawn to the patio firepits. Great wine list featuring SEVEN Napa cabs (and other varietals/blends); we did not try food this time but other patrons recommended some items. Service was prompt and friendly. Met a lovely local couple and very much enjoyed Backstage!“
