Our elopement at Annadel Winery was truly unforgettable. The setting was picturesque, with vineyard views that took our breath away. Katie was incredibly attentive, ensuring that every detail of our intimate ceremony was perfect. What made our experience truly unforgettable was the intimate private dinner we enjoyed on the property. The food was exquisite, paired perfectly with their exceptional wines. Whether you're planning a wedding or simply looking for a picturesque winery to visit, I cannot recommend Annadel Winery enough. We will cherish the memories made here for years to come.

We had a fantastic private wine tasting here - highly recommend! The wine is delicious, Katie is great and was warm/accommodating to us (we had several babies/toddlers in our group), the indoor tasting room and outdoor grounds are beautiful and she showed us around the property, nice cheese board, really a special experience. Thank you!

I am not exaggerating, our rabbi actually called Annadel the Garden of Eden during our ceremony. I may be a bit biased, but I have never seen such a beautiful wedding venue. From the spectacular ruins, to the huge oaks, to the lush green lawn surrounded by green mountains, to the gorgeous roses Katie plants throughout the venue, I can't imagine another place so magical (especially in June when everything's in bloom). Flowers, butterflies, birds chirping - it has it all! A lot of venues in wine country have a lovely view of a road with cars passing by - not Annadel, it felt like we were completely in a world of our own. On top of that, their wine is excellent. Will your planning be easier at a venue with a kitchen and parking lot? Sure. But will it be a fairytale secret garden your guests will never forget? Only at Annadel.

We had an intimate wine tasting with friends led by Dan. He really knew how to start off our California wine weekend experience. After our trip, I have to say that this winery stood out to me. Much success to this establishment.

Work hard, play harder - and wine tastings at Annadel Estate Winery is exactly what you need! The grounds and winery are picturesque, and the history of the estate is fascinating. When you are planning your wine country get-a-way, you must add Annadel to your list. The wine is delicious – the reserve cab and pinot are my go-to. The wine tastings are exclusive, and you get one on one with owners who are extremely knowledge and super personable. And we cannot forget about their puppies – Bubbles and Magnum – they are the cutest! Thank you for always a wonderful experience every single time!

I’ve been a member of the wine club for a little while so I was excited to finally get to visit Annadel Estate. First of all, the property is beautiful! We started off meeting the owners, Katie and Dan, and we even got to meet their dogs, Magnum and Bubs. We started off with a bottle of bubbles and a lovely charcuterie board. We got to try a pre-release wine since we are members of the wine club. I can’t remember the name, but it was definitely my favorite of the day! (Can’t wait for it to be available for purchase!) Then we were given a tour of the property, along with the ruins, and learned about the history of the winery. Then it was back to wine tasting. Overall, very lovely experience! Highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of visiting Annadel Estate Winery over the weekend. Being local, and having gone to 100's of wineries, Annadel Estate Winery is now one of our absolute favorites. The grounds are lovely, the history is interesting, and Dan the owner was just a pleasure to spend the afternoon with. Not to mention, the wine was FABULOUS!I write itineraries for people coming to the Napa and Sonoma Valley. Annadel is going to be top of my list to recommend to visitors. Don't miss this place. It is a hidden gem!

Love love love this winery! We have been there twice staying on property and had an amazing experience! Would recommend this to anyone visiting in this area…staying there or spending the day having a wonderful wine tasting with friends. The owners are fabulous!
Loving the sparkling and Sauvignon Blanc!! (My top 2… but don’t want the Pinot to feel left out). Can’t wait to get out to Cali to enjoy em in their natural environment! Order or visit ASAP if you ask my opinion

We had our wedding here, and we knew from the first moment we saw the venue that this is where we would want to get married. It is truly beautiful and the natural landscape and gorgeous ruins allowed us to save on our decorating budget.The cost of the venue itself is reasonable considering the area and quality. However, be aware that they: (1) do not provide any furniture; (2) require the purchase of their wine (which is delicious, but on the pricier side even after a 15% discount); (3) require all guests to arrive and leave via shuttles. All of these factors were stated before signing the contract, but if you are not aware of the added cost of all of this it can eat up a large portion of your budget.Unfortunately, we had some significant issues with a lack of response in the months leading up to the wedding. We later became aware that this was due to the owner giving birth shortly before our wedding which is understandable, but we believe that somebody else should have been designated to respond in her place. This became an issue because our other vendors were relying on answers that were not being provided by Annadel until the last minute.There was a potential issue with the shuttles in that they were going to require us to get an additional shuttle because they did not want shuttles to do any loops to pick up additional guests (there was no language in our contract stating this limitation). This would have cost us to go over budget, but due to COVID we had enough guests who were unable to attend our wedding that this ended up not being an issue.There was also a small issue day-of, as we had been assured there would be no wine tastings held on the day of our wedding, and yet several strangers walked by and gawked at my wife in her bra as she got her hair and makeup done the morning of the ceremony. They were indeed there for a wine tasting. Our wedding planner had to intervene and remind the owners of their prior assurance, but fortunately they responded swiftly.Lastly, our $3,000 refundable security deposit was supposed to be returned to us within 21 days of the wedding day, but we ended up receiving it a month late and only after reaching out to them multiple times.Despite these issues, the wedding day was everything we hoped it would be. All day of logistics ended up going smoothly and it was as beautiful as we had hoped!

Beautiful property. With that said site manager was a jerk. As our Uber approached to pick us up from wedding party (10pm) blond gal dressed in all black appreared out of the dark and approached us in an angey tone saying if I called an Uber she would not let him on property and that "the contract" stated such. No good evening or hello my name is .. Just pow..We would need to take a later shuttle. I explained, as wedding guests, we never saw a contract and had in fact had been asked by a staff member earlier when I was inquiring about departure times if I wanted them to call us an Uber. She said that was not a member of her staff and that she was the owner of the property. I wanted no problems so I canceled the Uber (1 minute away) and I showed her. At that point a thank you sir would have been appreciated but instead she said " now get on a shuttle' The hubris !! As I walked awy she took her phone and took pictures of my wife and I. I turned around and said " why are u taking pictures of us? She said because I was threatening"!!!???? Recap .So I am given false info, listen and abide, eat $50 bucks on an Uber I cancel at her request and turn to get on a shuttle and I am threatening!?? Ps....read the other reviews ..same story. Great location, heartless management...

This review is long overdue! We had our wedding at Annadel Estate last fall and had a fantastic experience working with the new owners Katie and Dan. They were super helpful and responsive in assisting us with navigating some of the difficult components of planning our wedding (date change due to Covid, assisting with a handicapped family member etc.) They also kindly allowed for us to taste the new wines because ownership had changed during the year we had to postpone our wedding. I can't say enough about how grateful we were to the owners Katie and Dan for helping our day run smoothly and the venue was even more beautiful than I imagined on our wedding day!
