19 Wineries and Tasting Rooms to Visit in Sonoma County - AFAR

"California’s oldest family-owned winery, operating for roughly 165 years across six generations, is beloved for its relaxed, communal vibe and strong red wines. Guests typically take in hilltop views over fields and a duck-filled reservoir from an outdoor patio while tie-dye-shirted staff serve tastings, local jam bands sometimes play, and winery dogs laze in the shade—creating an easygoing, almost festival-like atmosphere." - Bailey Berg, Tim Chester, Jessie Beck

Gundlach Bundschu Winery is a beautiful spot to spend an afternoon. The property is expansive with plenty of space to wander and a chill outdoor seating setup that makes it easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The staff were laid back and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere without any pressure. During the tasting, the Cabernet and the Gewürztraminer stood out as my favorites, both full of character and flavor. It is the kind of place where you can take your time, sip great wine, and enjoy the scenery. Five stars for the setting, service, and wine.

What a great time!!! Robert gave a fantastic tour. We visited the caves as well as walked into the fields sampling different wines along the way. We even tried a few grapes from the vines. Definitely worth a visit!!! So happy we visited this incredible winery.

We had such a wonderful experience! Our Pinz Excursion guide, Jamie, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable — he made the entire tour so informative and engaging. Loved learning about the regenerative farm and family history. The setting was absolutely beautiful, and the wine was truly exceptional. The Gewurztraminer and Pinot were delicious. We’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommend the Pinz!!

Fabulous cellar tour and tasting. Jamie was so knowledgeable and taught us a ton about the history of the wine and how it’s made. The tour included many different types of wine. I fully recommend.

Good prices and very good view. Perhaps not the most special views, but very nice Nice service. Food menu is quite slim, only cheese, crackers and salami. However the overall feeling was very good - thus the 5 star review. The wine was tasty and left a good feeling.

Good, not grape. A lovely spot to unwind with stunning views, but the $50 tasting felt a bit steep for what hit the glass. Still, a pleasant visit overall—and according to our designated driver, the water alone was a 5/5 experience. Hydration never tasted so good.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful Setting, But Disappointed by Service Policy Gundlach Bundschu Winery has a beautiful property with stunning views and a rich history—it’s easy to see why it’s a popular stop in Sonoma. That said, our recent experience left us disappointed. We arrived more than 30 minutes before closing, excited to enjoy a tasting, but were told they could not accommodate us. While we understand that wineries often have last-call policies, it was surprising and a bit frustrating to be turned away with that much time left in the day, especially after making the effort to get there after a long drive from Danville, California. A little more flexibility—or even a clear explanation or signage about tasting cut-off times—would’ve gone a long way toward improving the experience. cause the only vineyard that we were able to see that day, we were genuinely looking forward to trying their wines, and unfortunately, we left without the opportunity. We’d still consider coming back another time with a reservation, as the location is lovely and the wines have a strong reputation. Just a heads-up to future visitors: be sure to arrive well in advance of closing and call ahead to confirm availability.

Take the Cave tour! It's amazing! The 2021 Cab is wonderfully delicious! Learning the history of the two families while walking the vineyard really added to the overall experience. Rob was funny and laid back. Thanks for making our visit to Sonoma so memorable.

My wife and I came up to the area for the first time from Los Angeles and our first winery on our list was Gundlach Brundschu. It did not disappoint and set a high bar for all other wineries on our list for the weekend. The grounds are absolutely stunning. What a great view! Plenty of seating and lots of shade. The gentleman helping us, I believe his name was Shipp although my wife remembers it as Chip, was so friendly and educated on the winery's history and all the wines during the tasting. We're very interested in how the wine was made and he spoke with passion on each serving. The wine itself was just as good as the location and experience! So hard to pick a favorite since they were all delicious. Highly recommend this as a stop to the Napa/Sonoma region!

The vibe here is so approachable. I love that they allow dogs and kids so more people can enjoy wine country together. I'm excited to go back for their Lo-Fi concert series on Thursdays!

This was the second winery on our little tour of California, and it did not disappoint. Definitely book in advance, but I feel like that's a given for almost every place you'll visit on a wine tour! Super cute space inside where we did our tasting. Outside was gorgeous, but because of the rain, we didn't get to explore as much. I'd like to come back to experience it again when there is some better weather. We learned a lot, tried some really great wines, and even bought a few bottles to bring back. Hostess was amazing and very friendly and kind - we felt like they appreciated us being there, and we had great service. For a party of 8, that isn't always easy, so we were very grateful.

Very beautiful winery. Staff was super friendly Dog & family friendly. We went for their Hi-Fi Happy Hour. They sell slices of pizza and other snacks along with glasses of wine or you can also purchase bottles to share. We got some pizza which came out fairly quickly and since we were a bigger group we decided to just get some bottles of wine to share. You can put old vinyl disc's on to play music for everyone to listen to.

Gundlach was quite a special experience. We took part in the "cave tasting". I think it was somewhere around $80-100? I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for the full experience. We got a beautiful day out in the vineyard for early December. Not too cold, not rainy we got lucky. Out there Nora walked us through the whole process and educated us about the land the grapes grew on as well as how all the different varieties benefit from the micro climates they're able to take advantage of within the vineyard (yes, within the single vineyard they can leverage different climates separated by 15-20°f if I remember correctly, don't quote me, I had a bit of wine. We asked many questions and were educated on the way the vineyard used sustainable farming practices to keep the soil fertile and produce the best product, we learned about the quality of wine from different aged vines and so much more. All this and I haven't even talked about the wine yet.. We learned SO much. It was much more immersive than I expected. Of course we tried probably a half dozen or so wines, maybe 1 or 2 more than that even. The wine was all great, I'm not a wine connosuer by any stretch, but even I could taste the difference. Go for the experience and education, stay for the wine. The cave itself was really something to see. It doesn't seem all that overwhelming when you first go in but then you realize it goes on for quite a stretch. It's basically this big tunnel they dug out and it stays perfectly climate controlled all thanks to nature. The grounds were beautiful, wine was great, our guide was energetic and eager to answer all of our questions, couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We did a tour with Jon and it was incredibly informative and fun! The wine is phenomenal and I love learning about the family business. It's a must-do if you're in Sonoma! the cave tour and the vineyards were absolutely incredible!

Been here a long time ago for a tasting at their bar. This time for their apres ski party which was super fun. Huge pours when you enter the party and wine just keeps flowing. The grounds were super festive. The staff and the guests took the theme to heart...everyone was in their best ski attire, which was so fun to see. The food was delicious. The wine was plentiful. My favorite was their heritage varietals, and their Sadie sparkling wine. I could probably drink liters of Sadie, it is that good! It was fun to the owner and his wife get in on the action and the shots off the ski. Fun time to be had at gundlach!!

Gundlach Bunschu provides a unique tasting experience! As you roam the property, you can take a guided tour that walks you past the beautiful vineyards and into the wine caves. The caves are long and winding- which caused a little bit of distress for some of our friends who lean towards claustrophobia. I've been on many a wine tour and always enjoy getting information about the wine we're tasting and learning the unique history of the winery. Our tour guide was excellent in providing lots of information. I will say that our tour was lengthy and by the end, our group began chatting a bit between sips. Our tour guide redirected us sternly as she wanted us to hear all the information she had. We appreciated her insight and expertise, but also wished there was a little bit of flexibility to allow for some down time for a little less formal conversation. After our tour, we enjoyed a few bottles to share on the outdoor tables. I was able to find this wine in a local grocery store when I returned home and bought it in honor of our trip here!

Really enjoyed tasting here! The service and wine were both wonderful and the property was beautiful. It was also really interesting to learn the history of Gundlach Bundschu and just how long it's been around. We had a group of 4 and made reservations to taste outside ahead of time, we had a shaded picnic table which was absolutely needed for the hot day we were there for. They had a nice small selection of food on the menu, or you could go in their little shop and pick some things out. We went with the charcuterie board from the menu. We didn't pay attention to what it came with and had thought it would be a combo meat and cheese board, though it was just meat. Our bad for not looking at it further. The presentation of the board was pretty and it was a good amount of food for us to snack on. Favorite wines of the day were the rosé and the heritage pinot noir. The pinot was on the pricier side and we still had a few wineries to go to, so we passed on this and all left with bottles of rosé.

What a fantastic family winery! We toured with one of the sons. He was a fantastic host and you could feel his passion for winemaking. We walked through the caves and throughout the vineyards. Had a wonderful time in the tasting room and he made purchasing wine easy and fun.

We went to Gundlach Bunschu ("gun-lock bun-shoe") as our very first wine tasting in our Napa/Sonoma trip, and what a high bar to start with! We did the cave tour with Nora, and we absolutely loved her. She had the right amount of quirky, fun, and knowledgeable that made the tour perfect, and she was able to answer all our questions with as much detail as we were interested in. I was a fan of the Zinfandel and Rosé of Pinot Noir, and my friend signed up for the wine club because she loved all her tastings so much. The property was beautiful, the wine was delicious, and the experience was exactly what I hoped for our trip.

Amazing spot with great service for a wine tasting. The space was gorgeous with lots of outdoor seating and views of the vineyard. The tasting was very fun and we ordered a grazing board with a variety of snacks. It was a great experience, in the future I would buy a couple bottles to enjoy rather than doing the whole tasting

Gundlach Bundschu: Where Wine Meets Chaos I had high hopes for an evening of music and wine at Gundlach Bundschu's amphitheater. Sadly, those hopes were crushed faster than the grapes in their vintages. The winery seems to have adopted a 'sardines in a can' approach to ticket sales. The lawn was so packed that a quarter of us ended up sitting on dirt, probably getting a taste of the terroir we didn't ask for. Navigation was a nightmare - imagine trying to cross the Atlantic on a pool floatie, but replace the ocean with a sea of picnic blankets, limbs, and bags. Need a drink or a bathroom break? Good luck! The hillside was a treacherous obstacle course, with no clear path to salvation. Security guards, apparently trained in the art of unhelpfulness, blocked every sensible route. Their solution? 'Just traverse the barely navigable hillside in pitch darkness.' Because nothing says 'wine country elegance' like stumbling over strangers in the dark. When we attempted to forge a path to the tasting room, we were left with two options: become expert crowd-surfers or tightrope walk across hay bales. My friend chose the latter, resulting in an unintended stage dive that would make rock stars proud. The only available escape route? Across the stage itself, earning us a stern lecture from a juvenile security guard who waited for us for 15 minutes while we were in line to buy a bottle of wine and seemed more concerned with stage sanctity than patron safety. Didn't ask once if she was hurt! The cherry on top of this disastrous sundae? All restrooms were conveniently located on one side of the property. Apparently, GunBun believes in 'survival of the fittest' when it comes to bladder control. In their quest to maximize profits, Gundlach Bundschu has forgotten a key ingredient of hospitality: guest safety and comfort. A lighted path or two wouldn't hurt, folks. Neither would a lesson in basic event planning. We left just 40 minutes into the concert, our evening ruined and our enthusiasm for GunBun thoroughly stomped like grapes in a vat. If I wanted this level of discomfort and danger, I'd go to a mosh pit - at least there, it's expected. Gundlach Bundschu, you've managed to ferment a perfectly good evening into a bitter experience. Congrats on achieving notes of frustration with an aftertaste of regret. This is one vintage I won't be revisiting.

A nice winery to try when you're wine tasting in Sonoma. The sitting area is cozy and warm. I felt welcomed by the staff. They're all quite friendly and love to converse with you. We did share flights. So my husband and I split pours. Our wine pourer was Meno. She was wonderful! I love how she knew each wine's story as she poured. It's always so fascinating to learn something about how the wine was made interspersed with the history of the family and how they came to Sonoma. We ordered a plate of bread with olive oil and this amazing sun-dried tomato dipping sauce. It paired well with our tastings. Overall, this is a good, casual place to try when touring wine country. Great deals for wine members.

Beautiful grounds and views. Wine tasting was not the best experience for us. Small tastes and wasn't a fan of the some of the wine, as they were quite young and needed some more time to settle down. Surfer guy server was super friendly, sorry I forgot his name.

We love Gundlach Bundschu! Besides having the most delicious wine, what an amazing place to visit. We're wine club members so we typically like to taste at the Bacchus Club but they have a lovely indoor and outdoor tasting area as well. Please note that if you're tasting in the normal areas, they have some awesome food to go with their wine. We love to get some cheese and salami with some artisan crackers so we have a little nosh with our nectar, if you know what I mean. We've also ordered one of their gorgeous cheese boards before when we were too lazy to put it together ourselves. I've also had Gundlach Bundschu handle two corporate things for me. They have done our corporate gifts for the last two years and Lily has been great helping us ship selected bottles to our clients at their individual locations, with a customized card from our company. Lily also helped us arrange a tasting for my organization one year and that turned out really lovely. We'll be back!

My wife phoned a week ahead of my arrival, and let the folks know I was looking specifically for Petit Verdot. On the phone it was like "sure, come right in". It was really rainy the day I arrived, so just getting there was a bit of a chore. When I walked in, I was NOT greeted warmly. The girl behind the desk was reading a book and seemed bothered that I arrived. She then explained that Petit Verdot was only available to their wine club members. Gosh I wish we would have heard that before I made the trek in the rain! I left shortly after. When I turned around, the girl resumed reading her book. By the way, my wife and I were there with a few friends years before and it was a much better experience. This is what I expected on this trip. So it was a real disappointment... As the owner of a company myself, I know that sometimes it takes a while to bring new people up to speed. The folks at Gundlach Bundshu seem like good family-oriented people. And there are many positive reviews here. I guess this was just not my lucky day at this location...

Another winery I've been stopping by at for years. Probably my favourite winery just in terms of layout and location. Of course their wine is always delicious. Unfortunately service outside was subpar this round, so I had to go inside to get some service (and some wine).

Quaint winery with a cool wine cave to explore. Gerwurtztraminer 4/5 Chardonnay 3/5 Pinot noir 3/5 Merlot 5/5 Canernet Sauvignon 4/5 This is the oldest family owned sustainable vineyard winery in California. Produces cool climate wines since 1858! Tip: Try to go to the restroom prior to coming here as it's more of an outhouse style restroom. Follow them at @gunbunwine #gunbunwine Tip: 30% military / veteran discount available!

This was our first stop for wine tasting and it's a beautiful venue. Nestled a little higher up on a hill, there are nice views of the city and surrounding areas. The table reservations are quite strict and fill up so if you miss your scheduled time, you might be out of luck. That's exactly what happened to us but it actually worked out because after we got our flight, we took a short walk to a shaded area that was actually quieter than the main area. There was plenty of seating and even games like corn hole to keep us occupied. As far as the wine goes, it was smooth, especially the reds which were a little chilled. I'd definitely come back here if I was in Sonoma again.

What a pleasant winery experience I had at GB! The team was dressed up for Halloween because we were a week away from the holiday and it was too cute. We were seated at a nice picnic table with an umbrella. Server was so so sweet and personable. She explained the history of the winery, which was so nice to know how big of an impact GB has in Sonoma. We all did wine flights and they gave us a huge variety of whites, reds. You can also walk around the area and there's a big pond to enjoy. I'd recommend this place to anyone!

Gundlach Bundschu was recommended to me and I am so glad I took the advice to come! The tastings were all booked up, but Shannon in the little shop took time to help us find a bottle to drink outside. The staff was so friendly and made our first Sonoma visit memorable. We sat on the hill, ambiance was top notch!

I was over the moon excited to visit this winery with my birthday group. We scheduled the cave tour, which was everyone's first experience visiting a wine cave so it made this visit really special. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable! I don't know what I enjoyed more, the rich history of the winery, the views/ambience, or our tour guide who was amazing. The walking tour had a few stops where we were able to sample the different wines, walk through the caves and bask at the vineyard that's on the other side of the cave. During the tour we walked past a formal dinning table that presented quite the vibes that I assume is for seated tastings inside of the cave. I would definitely want to come back and have a tasting there next time. My favorite wine was the GEWURZTRAMINER, though not presented in the traditional sweet form it was very pleasant! Can't wait for next time. My wine score is based solely for my palette which favors whites and light reds. Rating is based on how much I enjoyed the tasting overall. 7/10 Customer service 10/10 Ambiance 8/10

Overall I think this winery is good. I joined my party late so I did not get a full introduction regarding the winery. The servers were friendly, kind, and gave pretty good service. I did think the full tasting was quite pricey at $50. The wine was generally fairly good and I do want to thank their customer service for resolving a bill issue we had. Thank you!

So we met up with some friends that belong to this winery to do a tasting. We had come from another winery that we all love. The service was pretty good but the young man talk fast. And we mentioned it and we all had a laugh. We tried quite a few wines and the only one my husband and I really liked was a Pinot noir. So unfortunately, we didn't buy anything. I understand it's one of the oldest wineries in Sonoma. We sat outside, and luckily under the shade as it was in the high 80s.

We had such a wonderful time at this winery. The atmosphere is very laid back and casual. It was a homey comfortable setting, even though it was a busy tasting room and had a lot going on. Shannon, our sever, was so much fun and very knowledgeable! She was our favorite part of our tasting! This winery has a very long and storied history in the Sonoma region and it was very interesting to hear about from Shannon. We didn't order food because we were going to dinner right afterwards. It seems to be mostly small appetizers to complement the wine. Some of the wine was hit or miss for me and my husband. But overall, we found something each one of us liked. I would recommend visiting this fun and historical vineyard/winery.

Service was not great. We arrived around 15 minutes late, but within the window of time for our reservation. They said they had to shorten our tasting. They didn't really explain their different wines--they quickly mentioned a few tasting notes and were off. They used the same glass for each tasting. It felt like they were rushing us. Not great.

This is my go to winery. We are members and visit at least once a quarter. The service is over the top. The setting is gorgeous. Beautiful view, pleasant surroundings, green, and lots of people bring their dogs. OK without saying, the wine is delicious. They have a robust store with yummy cheese and crackers, as well as wine, stuff and clothing.

Gorgeous winery with a massive patio overlooking the country side. It's also a children-friendly patio during the daytime. We went at 11am, and the place was empty. We asked for a seat in the sun, and got more attitude than expected from the hostess. Personally, I didn't think it was a huge ask, but apparently I was asking to move mountains. We did the $40 wine tasting with 5 tastings...and the tasting pours were small (three sips max) - which is an incredibly expensive wine tasting (compared to other places in Sonoma). Our waitress did a great job in providing explanations. Their wines are on the dry side, including sweeter wines such as Rose and Chardonnay. They have cave tours + tastings too, but requires reservations well in advance. Snacks are available to purchase too.

We came to Gundlach Bundschu based on my parents recommendation from when they visited previously. We made a reservation in advance, but I do not think you need one necessarily. We were seated outside on their patio. The scenery was breathtaking and the weather was perfect! Our tasting included 5 wines and we ended up walking out with 4 bottles! We highly enjoyed their merlot and GEWURZTRAMINER. The GEWURZTRAMINER, was very unique and sweet and nothing like I've had before. Our host, Lucy, was very nice and made our tasting very enjoyable!

First time at this winery and had a fabulous tasting with Isabel! She knew all about the wines and had some great stories for us. My favorite was the Rose, perfect for a hot summer day. Isabel also had some wonderful recommendations for local restaurants. Lots of outdoor seating on the patio. Apparently they also hold events during the summer! There's so many wineries in this area to choose from, but I hope to visit this one again soon!

10/10 recommend. Wine was outstanding, cheese basket was delicious and so cute in the little picnic basket, views were breathtaking, and weather was just perfect. We had the SWEETEST server named Shannon who made the experience stand out from any other vineyard you will visit. Definitely recommend and if you come, ask for Shannon!

Highly recommend booking the underground cave wine tasting + food pairing. We had barrels of fun in Gun Bun's unique underground cave experience. The following exceptional wines were poured for us: - 2013 Merlot - 2014 Estate Cabernet Franc (my favorite) one can really taste the dark chocolate - 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon - 2012 Vintage Reserve - 2013 Vintage Reserve Every sip of wine paired deliciously well with the spiced Marcona almonds, prosciutto, and cheese.  The grounds are immaculate, and it's the oldest family-owned winery in CA. It's dog-friendly, and there are concerts at this venue.  The drive through the dense fog reminded me of SF - I love the FOG! 'Til we meet again ~ cheers & see you on Yelp (SYOY)!

Pretty good, very chill winery with a nice view. Cheese plate and wine pairings get expensive, it ended up being about 150 for two tastings and one cheese plate. The wines and service were good, and I enjoyed being able to chill and relax and enjoy. We didn't really LOVE any wines, so we didn't end up buying any to take home. A solid place to keep in the rotation!

Such a fun experience! We sat at the outdoor patio and had a great view overlooking the vineyards and pond. Shannon was such a lovely and engaging host. Our "build your own" charcuterie board came in a picnic basket and paired perfectly with all the amazing wines she poured us! Cheers to Shannon for making our experience so enjoyable!

I tried two weeks prior to my visit to get a reservation. But this German style winery had no openings. The girl on the phone suggested I call at 10am the day I wanted in to see if there might be a cancel. No one any the phone from 10 to 10:45. So we walked in and asked the hosted if there was a cancel or spot available. No. But she offered that we could buy a bottle or glass and take it up on the hill to enjoy. We got a couple of glasses and took the short trail from the large patio to a shaded area on the hill overlooking the pond. It was ok but we really wanted a tasting and to walked through the winery's philosophy. We tried the Pinot Noir and Gewürztraminer. The Pinot was lighter than your usual California style. The Gewürztraminer bright. The grounds are gorgeous. A couple of good sized parking lots are available. There's a large comfy patio in front of the tasting room. There are a couple other smaller outdoor tastings areas across the lane from the room. No matter where you would like to sit you need a reservation. The tasting areas overlook the rows and rows of grape vines. From the back edge of the large patio you can see the pond. Around the pond was a nice walking path.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Extremely relaxed setting and an awesome place to bring your dog and children. Since this place does allow dogs/children, if that is not your vibe then keep that in mind. I brought my Pomeranian with us, there was plenty of shade and seating options. My party of 4 had reservations at the Donkey bar which is a little further back on the property but was set up with it's own mobile restroom so you didn't have to walk back up to the main picnic area. The tasting was $40 which provided a nice vertical of 5 offerings. You're using the same glass for the full tasting so it's at the leisure of your table. There are some charcuterie/cheese/anti pasta offerings but all sharable so expect to spend about $30-$40 per package however it looked bountiful and fresh. We can't wait to come back and it's great to know that we don't have to leave the pup at home.

Went for a tasting with a friend and it was such a dreamy experience! Love the picnic ambience and our server Tucker made it all even more enjoyable. He was so knowledgeable, funny and made our day. Thanks a million!

Tucker helped us out during our tasting today and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. The views at GunBun are stunning and wines are lovely. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the napa/sonoma area.

Visited the first time several weeks ago and joined immediately. This is a relaxed and easy going winery with excellent customer service. During wine tasting, we got some food from wine shop. The wines were very good and some excellent. There is always good music playing in the background which adds to an even better experience. On our second visit, we had friends in town and we reserved the cave tour. This was an interesting one and half hour guided tour in their cave and in the fields of grapes. I hope this family owned place continues for many years to come.

I'm so happy we decided to visit this winery. Our host was lovely, and she was attentive and kind. She took the time to tell us about the history of this winery. She recommended a few other wines to try that's not part of the flight. As a last minute try, we added their two reds. One was a 2015 reserve and y Hubby really enjoyed it more than the rest. It was reasonably priced, and glad to be able to purchase a bottle. Per our host, they only had a few left. Had one of their white wine bottle as well. Due to COVID, their charcuterie is help yourselves with what's inside the fridge. They had a variety of cheeses, meats, jams, and crackers. The Marin cream cheese was so good. Definitely a perfect match to the tasty Jamon. We had such a relaxing and perfect time here. Definitely worth a visit. If you're in Sonoma area, this is a perfect place to unwind and try some amazing wines. Highly recommend this winery. You won't be disappointed. Hope to be back soon.
