Korbel Winery

I am absolutely enchanted by the Korbel estate and by their delicious, port, bubbly, and brandy. The deli is delightful, chock full of delightful sweets and savory sides and sandwiches. I wandered in and never wanted to leave. The view! The rich history! Did you know that the train stopped at Korbel in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s? I wish I could jump back in time. The ladies at the tasting room are my new best friends too. I was so cozy by the fire, sipping a rare rouge 🍷 Defnitely don’t skip this wonderland on your visit. If you’re local, be a member!

Came here for a Chamber mixer as it's one of my favorite wineries in the world. So many great childhood memories of Korbel. The tours are fantastic. The winery is down to earth. The redwoods are magical. The view of the vineyards spectacular. Delicious deli food. I don't even drink wine and just love coming here for all the other wonderful things this historic winery has to offer! 💕

We visited Petaluma for Valentine’s weekend and decided to start the day early knowing wineries would likely be busy. Our first stop was Korbel in Guerneville, a charming property that truly feels tucked away in the middle of nowhere in the best possible way. We began in the tasting room where each of us ordered a champagne tasting. My wife chose the chocolate pairing option (featuring chocolates from a local shop), while I went with the standard tasting. Champagne tastings are always fun, and a little dangerous, but the experience was excellent. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and took time to explain what we were tasting without making it feel overly formal. The tastings ended up being complimentary with club signup, and we joined largely because it gives us a great excuse to come back and visit again when shipments are ready. We also did the tour, which was very well done. It starts with a short outdoor walking portion (bring a jacket if it’s chilly), followed by a film presentation and access to a room filled with interesting historical artifacts that tell the story of the Korbel family and the property. The pacing was perfect, informative without dragging on, and concluded with another tasting. Afterward, we stopped at the onsite café for sandwiches. It’s a small, simple space, but the food was surprisingly excellent and a perfect midday break. Overall, Korbel delivered a relaxed, educational, and enjoyable experience, a great mix of history, atmosphere, and approachable wine tasting without feeling pretentious.

Very beautiful and picturesque winery. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We skipped the tasting and purchased a bottle of champagne that Jack recommended. Perfect choice was the Le Premiere Methode Champenoise! We also had the Chicken Caesar Salad big enough for three guys, lol. Best Salad ever!! Samantha was awesome and very attentive, thank you!! Definitely recommend a visit 👌

Cristina, Margie and all of the staff from tasting room to the deli were magnificent! High energy and enthusiastic about the rich history and and culture of wine country and Korbel! Thank you for your attentiveness and wonderful experience.

We had such a great time visiting Korbel. We didn’t make a reservation and they were kind enough to try and accommodate us. While we waited we had some food and really enjoyed both the salad and sandwich. The salad tasted fresh and I really enjoyed the dressing. The sandwich was a good portion size and had a nice balance of all the ingredients. They have a beautiful area to sit outside and we got to enjoy the nice weather. Our tasting was a lot of fun too. We sat inside their tasting room and our server was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the sparkling wines we were trying and it was clear that she loved what she did. She helped us pick the best flight that would meet our needs and interests. There is some parking here although I’m not sure if it’s the same during busy times. Insta: @TheShahLALand

Cristina & Margie were beyond welcoming as well as courteous. Korbel is a wonderful winery! Visit as soon as possible for a memorable experience.

This was our last stop of the day & sadly we missed the last tour. However we were able to get a table for a last minute tasting. Julie was so great in sharing the history of the champagne, wine was great & the Christmas decor was still up which made it feel festive. There’s 5 tastings & she also gave us a complimentary off the menu pour. We also just missed the deli before closing but the outside area is so pleasant & peaceful. Will definitely be back to try the deli & grab a complimentary glass for the tour. Cheers!

I recently visited Korbel Champagne Cellars with a friend on a day trip. It was easy a beautiful drive to the property with winding roads and then plentiful parking spaces. We were very early for the tour so grabbed a quick warm beverage while wandering through the shops and enjoying the ambiance of the fireplace. Our tour guide was friendly and personable. I do wish we'd had a few more minutes in the museum to look over the antique equipment and exhibits. The tasty was just $15 (as others have mentioned) for a generous glass of champagne (no barely there sips here) and you get to sample 3 different types of champagne. I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Korbel and hope to return again soon

Korbel Champagne Cellars was such a fun and easy wine-tasting stop, especially after celebrating our engagement proposal! The tasting is only $15, which is incredibly cheap compared to most places in the area - definitely one of the best deals in Sonoma. The champagnes themselves are inexpensive, but still really enjoyable, and the tasting experience is relaxed, friendly, and not pretentious at all. It's a great place to sip, celebrate, and enjoy bubbly without breaking the bank. The grounds are pretty, the staff is welcoming, and overall it was the perfect little celebratory stop.

Lovely winery off the side of the highway with yummy sandwiches and baked goods in their deli. You can get a glass of bubbly for $7 which is very reasonable! Very nice to just hang out. We didn't do a tasting but the tasting room was large.

Had a double date at Korbel, and I couldn't believe it was my first time! S E R V I C E: There are tons of parking spaces available, and Korbel is just huge. There's greenery everywhere and everything looks very picturesque. Our server was Hillary, and she was great! Even though she was pretty busy, she gave us enough time and space to enjoy our company and the wine. W I N E: Tastings are $15 and if you purchase 3 bottles, it waives one tasting! I love how they show you all your options ranging from dry to sweet. I, of course, had to try some of the sweets. First, I tried their Blanc de Noir which is one of their reserves (4 stars) and for the sweet wines, I had Sweet Cuvee and their Moscato (5 stars each). O V E R A L L: I would love to come back, and this time with a group of my girlfriends so we can take more pictures of the grounds because it is so beautiful!

I've lived in Sonoma County for the past 40 years, but until now, have only visited Korbel Champagne Cellars once before (around 1990). One of my friends from SF met me there for lunch last week and I ordered the trim tip sandwich ...FANTASTIC! It had to be one of the best sandwiches I ever had! It was served hot, on a heated roll with cheese and Chimichuri Sauce. I'll DEFINITELY be back!

After an invigorating hike at Armstrong State Reserve, we had some free time before our scheduled wine tour. We happened to pass by Korbel on the way out there, so we knew we could drop by for a tasting. The turn in heading west is visible but the town in heading East was difficult to see. I passed it and had to turn around. The parking lot is huge. It's a very picturesque place. We took a few pics of the flowers and by the Korbel building and signs before we entered. Watch out for the huge spider webs on your way in. The gift shop is cute- I grabbed some golf related souvenirs. We shared a tasting. The gal who served us was maybe one day over 21. We took her recommendations but probably shouldn't have. I didn't really enjoy any of the three tastings. I was a bit annoyed that they only serve you one glass at a time. So you have to finish that one before you move on to the next. I prefer to taste all three and kinda go back and forth to see the differences etc. but that was not allowed. We were lucky to beat a huge bus of tourists. We finished our tasting, paid for our souvenirs and headed out. I heard their deli is amazing and you can get really nice salads and sandwiches. We already had a lunch pairing planned so we did not visit the deli. If this place is on your way somewhere, go ahead and stop by. It's got a lot of history. But I would not go out of my way to come here.

We stopped in to do the tour and tasting today. Absolutly loved it!! Our tour guild was fantastic! Tour was great! Very interesting! And ended with a lovely tasting. We also went to the actual tasting room after to taste some more. The staff couldn't have been more wonderful! We had a wonderful time and will be back! We even left with a few bottles that we couldn't resist!

We had a lovely visit to Korbel Winery! The property is beautiful and relaxing, with a spacious patio offering plenty of outdoor seating. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a champagne tasting. They offer three tastings for just $15. The staff was friendly, the pours were generous, and the setting made the whole experience feel very inviting! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and want to sip champagne while taking in the views!

We've been here so many times over the years and we love coming here. The location is stunning, surrounded by redwood trees and vineyards. Gorgeous old buildings, flowers everywhere.... They are so kind and helpful with choosing your wines/champagnes. There is a lovely tasting room, and you can also take a tour. We always stop in when we're driving to the ocean, buy some champagne, and stop at the delicatessen to get sandwiches and salads for lunch. It's so great! You must visit!!

We were excited to come across Korbel Cellars on our road trip around Sonoma. We stopped in and were greeted by a very nice, and friendly gentleman. He offered us a tasting of the Korbel Rosé and we loved it. I am not usually a fan of sparkling wines but I did enjoy this one and thought it would make a great treat for our Easter brunch back home. They do offer 5 tastings for 25.00 per person and the champagnes vary from dry to very sweet. Pours were very generous. The tasting room was pretty large, had a fire going, and plenty of open tables available. They do not serve food here but right next door they have a fantastic café. Parking is easy with plenty of spaces. The grounds are gorgeous, the vineyards are right across the road and tours are offered daily and don't need a reservation. We definitely recommend a stop here for a tasting and a great lunch! Cheers!

Korbel is a mass producer of sparkling wine, so my expectations weren't high going into the tasting. We mainly came here to get lunch at their little cafe, which was delightful (you can check my 5-star review for it), but figured we were here so we may as well taste. The tasting room was a little disappointing compared to their beautiful outdoor deli deck surrounded by the redwoods. They did have some beautiful chandeliers, but the room felt dark and dull with its open space and plastic tables and chairs. The tasting was $25 and consisted of 5 wines, though we were given an additional off menu pour. They also offer free tours daily, we were offered to join one while there, but opted to skip it. The bubbles started on the crisper side and got progressively sweeter, with the last pour and the off menu pour being way too sweet for us. Our tasting associate was nice and gave us good information and descriptions on the wine as well as some history on Korbel. Overall it wasn't a bad experience, I just love to wine taste and this didn't do it for me in comparison to so many of the other places I've visited.

Stop by the cellar after tubing in the Russian River. We were tired and hungry so stopped by this spot. I wasn't impressed by the service. We were not guided through the tasting experience as we have known to appreciate others places do. We came to the counter and didn't know what we were supposed to do and the servers were not helpful to let us know. There were a few of us and they seemed frustrated with us. We ate at their little cafe, food was good. We had sandwiches with chips. Champagne was delicious. It was nice taste different styles of Korbel Champagne. I liked trying their seasonal stuff. They have a nice outdoor seating area with trees for shade.

Love this place. It has a beautiful view and delicious bubbly and great food! If your hungry and want to eat while you drink the do have a deli. The service is amazing too. They have great prices on Champagne when you become a member as well. Sorry no pictures I will definitely take some next time.

This was our last stop of the day & sadly we missed the last tour. However we were able to get a table for a last minute tasting. Julie was so great in sharing the history of the champagne, wine was great & the Christmas decor was still up which made it feel festive. There's 5 tastings & she also gave us a complimentary off the menu pour. We also just missed the deli before closing but the outside area is so pleasant & peaceful. Will definitely be back to try the deli & grab a complimentary glass for the tour. Cheers!

We recently visited the makers of classic California Champagne in Sonoma County, at Korbel Champagne Cellars just east of Guerneville on River Road. Korbel has always been my standby for special occasions. It started with just a few types like Brut and Sec. However, Korbel has now expanded their selections of California Champagne considerably. They have used several different varietals of grapes in their recent additions, including Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. They have offered white, pink, and red California Champagnes in recent years. They even now sell still wines and fortified Brandies. The Korbel winery is historic, and resides in a redwood area of River Road. It is beautiful. They even have a nice deli for sandwiches. When we went for our tasting, we were served by a very kind, pleasant, and knowledgable person named Samantha. I highly recommend Korbel Champagne Cellars as a great way to spend an afternoon in Sonoma County.

Fantastic bubbles tasting! Popped in over the long weekend to taste some bubbles with friends. For non-wine club members, the tasting fee is $25 for a flight of 5. The chilled sparkling wines are the perfect tasting for a hot summer day. My favorite of the bunch was the Korbel Natural, it was crisp and slightly tart and very easy to drink on a hot day. The staff were all very nice and accommodating. We did not have a reservation, but they were able to seat us almost immediately. A great stop whenever you're passing through Guernville!

This is my second time here over the past few months and I absolutely love this place! We tasted three glasses of champagne for $15 which was a great deal. I love the flexibility of the place with the availability to walk around the property. The staff is so sweet and excellent. I can't wait for my next journey here!

This isn't your typical review. This is a positive shout out to the amazing staff and security at Korbel. When we were there, it was for a friend's bachelorette. We were all dress in our florals and looking cute and wanting to have a beautiful day. Seriously this is in no way a negative review. We were getting a couple of bottles of champagne and a few of us wanted to find a spot to sit for the 10 of us (which was no problem-SO MANY TABLES) Once we all sat down, a couple members of our group started talking about a creepy man walking very close and looked like he was taking photos or videos.  I'm not someone who shuts her mouth about this type of thing. So when I started noticing him and his crazy eyes and walking back and forth, I said ENOUGH. I went into the deli and alerted a sweet staff member. Not only did she go directly to her manager, but to the security team. We had no other issues and it was a beautiful tasting.  Then as we were wrapping up, the head of security came up to our table and thanked me for saying something and explained the outcome a bit. Well I'm writing all of this to say THANK YOU to the Korbel team for taking it seriously, taking care of the issue and being so amazing.  Korbel is a safe, fun, and BREATHTAKING winery. They strive for a safe environment and I applaud them! Whether you have a small group or large group, Korbel will take good care of you!

I drove past this location earlier in the day before they opened and super happy I visited on my return. Plan to arrive before 3 if you want some free tastings. Reservations suggested. Fast and friendly service! I had no idea the extent of Korbel's selections and so happy that I joined the club. Incredible varietals. Some only available to CA residents. I didn't plan to stay long, will plan better next time.

We were at Korbel last week and had a great time. Jack (our host) toured us through the old production facility and extraordinary knowledge and enthusiasm for the champagne products that are produced on site. The landscape is beautiful and includes huge Sequoia trees and many colorful flowers. I was traveling with 3 ladies and the were really excited about the tastings and ended up joining the very convenient wine club. Just a great time.

Made an impromptu stop at Korbel on our way back from a beach camping weekend. The facility is beautiful and historic and definitely worth a stop just for pictures. I decided to taste a couple of their sparklings that I'd not had before and also one that can be found in most grocery stores. For three tastings you're charged $15, but that is deducted if you purchase three or more bottles at the end. The service was mediocre at best. While our server was polite, she was not really friendly and made us want to leave sooner rather than later. The retail store is cute and stocked with basic wine country souvenirs. Dropped in to the deli and was a bit disappointed. Was hoping for some fantastic healthy, maybe even plant based options, but only found basic sandwich/salad offerings. Wandered the property and fell in love with the views and history. Grounds staff was super friendly and kind.

This was one of my favorite visit! Champagne tasting at Sonoma CA! We are lucky to get the last table before they closed! So so lucky! The tasting room closed at 3pm. The tour guide is so knowledgeable about the champagne making and bottling! The tasting room was just perfect happy place for people who enjoyed this type of event! Because I love champagne, i so much had fun! I definitely come back if give a chance! And I highly recommend!

A close friend of mine is a member and took us along with her. We did the tour of the cellars, a seated tasting, and tried the deli. First the tour was really interesting about 45 minutes in the cellars and 15 minutes back outside drinking a glass of champagne. Typical tour... history, the different types of wines, how they bottle etc. if you're into that kind of stuff totally worth it but not necessary in my option when visiting. Next we did a seated tasting in their tasting room. Great experience they accommodated us and switched out a few of the set pours for more of our liking which I really appreciated. Lastly the deli was the star of the show. I ordered the tri tip sandwich on Dutch crunch soooo good. The seating was scares but they allowed us to sit in a blocked off area. I definitely will be back overall experience was great and everything was very affordable.

When I first moved to California (Under 21) I always remember seeing a bottle of Korbel at party celebrations. Over the decades they seem to have held that place. The market is always changing and expanding, but Korbel is tried and true for American style sparkling wines and a standard at gatherings. The area on both sides of the highway on both sides as we approached the winery were lush with vineyards then you roll up to the 135-ish year old property. The drive up the Russian River Highway is a treat in itself. I purposely selected that drive to show the area off to my awesome daughter. Plenty of parking, lots of shade, easy access for handicapped (I'm a disabled Veteran), and a first-class tasting room. They have so many more products since I turned 21 decades ago. It was my absolute delight. It was charming and they kept the old timey brick and mortar building style ... even on the remodel. BRAVO. Lorrie Was own superior server. We soon realized they were all properly trained in hospitality and wine knowledge. If they don't know the answer to something, they ask. How cool is that? I know a quite a bit about wine (At one time 20 years ago my family had a winery and was a well-known presence in the Alexander Valley.) I was pleased that Lorrie answered all my questions. Her professionalism impressed my daughter and I greatly. We were totally treated like royalty. You WILL find one that hits home. They offer a price reduced monthly special (while it lasts), a FREE Wine Club that offer a deep discount so you can travel with some goodies. Most places charge for a club. They also do fee-based shipping. I went in for a taste and left with a case. Not bad. Yum. Thank you, Team Korbel, for educating my daughters palate with fine wine. She learned a lot about the flavor complexities and varieties. There is something for everyone with all the choices.

Fun to visit champagne co in Guerneville nearby and famous sippy complimentary tasting Nice building since 1882 Review #2701

We called to make a reservation, but were told there were no available spots. Despite this, we decided to visit and buy some champagnes.We arrived at an almost empty tasting room and realized that we couldtaste the champagnes as planned. However, they offered free champagne tasting if we stood instead of sitting, which cost $20. Since we were in a hurry, we opted for the free tasting and ended up buying the deal of the day: $8 Prosecco bottles, which were fantastic. I deducted one star for the misinformation about reservations, but overall, it was a great experience

Always a fun place to drop in for some champagne, aka CA sparkling wine! They have some champagne that they do not sell in stores Or champagne that is hard to find! So good to venture through their products! They also have flat wines and port! The port was impressive! Lastly they have brandy too! Tasting can be done outside or on a shaded porch. They have an outside and inside bar plus high-tops and seated tables. A spot for everyone. Also you can grab a bottle and have lunch at their deli. Deli food is not too bad in price. The salad was fresh and big. Their sandwiches look fresh too. Worth a visit! Note a solid hour from Napa. Lastly they have tours which are interesting. Check their website for times.

My first time visiting here for a tasting and it was amazing! I came on a rainy day so I was expecting for it to be not as busy, but of course korbel is so popular that I feel like it's probably always busy here. Me and my boyfriend were able to get seated for a tasting pretty quickly and the host was very knowledgeable and factual about the champagnes which I loved and we ended up leaving with a bottle to take home. The only thing that was a little difficult is it gets pretty loud in the tasting room when it is busy, so at times I could hardly hear them explaining the champagnes. I highly highly recommend coming here for a tasting of their tasty champagnes

Clean, friendly service, decent sparkling wine and a beautiful location. We tried the complimentary tasting menu, because we arrived without a reservation and they could only accommodate us at the bar. This tasting menu is designed for people who don't drink wine, and offered the most common varieties you can easily find at the grocery store. Most of them trended on the sweet side, which I do not care for. Our server was very friendly and offered us an extra taste of one of their drier variatals after I didn't finish my second taste of a sweet wine. The location is beautiful and the tasting room is gorgeous. Still giving 4 stars because the experience was great despite my distaste for the wines I sampled. Would like to go back and try their premium variatels some time.

I've lived in Sonoma County since 1978 and driven past Korbel more times than I can count. We visited one time, years ago, to do a wine tasting (not champagne) but the wines didn't draw us back. As a self-proclaimed champagne hater, I never had reason to visit again. Well. Until today. I have no idea when it happened or what changed but suddenly, my palate was appreciating champagne's light, bouncy and fresh tastes! My platinum-member friend booked our tasting and we worked off the All Bubbles menu for my first ever introduction. After a quick assessment from the first two tastes, our host suggested a couple swaps which I appreciated. He was friendly and paced us well with information and tasting notes. All I can say is, Korbel made champagne accessible to this naysayer. My favorites were: - Blanc de Noirs: raspberry and strawberry flavors and a smooth finish - Natural: very dry, delicate California champagne Beautiful grounds, friendly staff, price-points you can't deny and enough of a range to likely satisfy drinkers of the bubbly stuff.

Since we live relatively close by and it was a beautiful day, we decided to drop by Korbel as it has been a while. We went to the tasting room but it was closed. We were directed to the main building where they had a large room made up of comfy couches, chairs and some bistro tables and chairs. It was a little chilly inside but they had several directional heaters that were great. They charged us only $15 for 5 nice champagne tastings for my wife and I had a flight of three glasses that were gratis. The champagne was great as usual and my wife really likes the Brut and Brut Rose and I liked the Prosecco and Moscato tastings. I tend to go to the sweet and easy-to-drink on warm day kinda guy and my wife likes the dryer champagnes. We enjoyed them so much that we ended up joining their platinum wine club. After enjoying our champagne tastings, they did not charge us for the tastings at all. We went over to the Deli and split a winemaker roast turkey sandwich with white cheddar cheese, tarragon mayonnaise, cranberry chutney and red onion with greens. We also had a side of mixed olives salad and potato salad. The sandwich and olives were great while the potato salad was really good. I just like a little more bite to my potato salad. Don't get me wrong, I would order it again but I am not going to ask for the recipe. All-in-all it was a great day with the great employees, bubbly and the food we want to go back again, maybe this weekend?

First time visiting Korbel while in Sonoma County. We stopped by on our way to our hotel from Armstrong Redwoods thinking to do a tasting and have lunch. Unfortunately that didn't work cause you must have reservations, so we left and walked over to the delicatessen on their property. I remember three years back you can just walk in to wineries and restaurants with no issues, nowdays it's reservations required almost everywhere. Sometimes you happen to be in an area that you want to try places and you don't know if you will ever be in that area ever again. So no more unplanned trips I guess from now on. The building is beautiful from the outside. Perfect spot to take nice pictures.

It's hard to believe how many times I've driven by and not actually stopped so today was finally day. An easy drive down River Road and the lush Russian River Valley Korbel has a commanding and historical presence that beckons you in. Currently decorated for Christmas it's even more inviting. Today was a great Sunday stop on a beautiful rainy Sonoma day. We enjoyed the complimentary tasting of 3 of their mainstay bubbles then stopped at the delicatessen for a sandwich and a salad. I did make reservation ahead of time but at 3pm on a Sunday, we were only the 3rd seated table in the large vintage warehouse turned tasting room. Jessica was super sweet and we enjoyed our visit. Definitely worth a longer visit to walk the grounds on dryer day.

Fun & interesting I'm a local Sonoma County resident have never been here before was killing some time before an engagement in the area, we took the tour. I was completely blown away at the organization and Pace it was really impressive. I have never really been a fan of sparkling wine or champagne however, after the tour and a glass I think we will be a member we ran out of time to do a tasting but will be back next weekend for the full tasting. I can't believe I'm typing this but it was just an awesome day and I Really loved it.

I've just returned from a tasting at Korbel (founded in 1882), and what a pleasant experience! They have a great variety of champagnes and also wines; the champagnes range from dry to very sweet. The grounds are gorgeous, and the winery tours are excellent; they also have garden tours in the spring, summer and fall. They very recently made a welcome change in my opinion: reservations are no longer required, and they have resumed tasting at the bar, which they had for many years and which was very popular. The Tasting Room is warm and cozy in the winter, with a roaring fire, redwood ceiling and Swarovsky chandeliers.. Adjacent to the winery is a wonderful deli, and you can eat outside under the redwoods with a view of the vineyards across the street. I highly recommend a visit to this historic site. Sally, 2/2025

If you enjoy sipping champagne, you should check out Kobel for a champagne tasting tour. The tour is free and not only provides a quick history of Kobel champagne but also includes complimentary tastings. They offer two different champagnes, and you can even buy some exclusive Kobel right there. The staff is super friendly, and I had a great time enjoying the whole experience.

We began by eating in their delicatessen. I ordered the tri-tip with Gorgonzola, my partner ordered the turkey/cranberry. Mine was the definitive winner but his was still very good. With lunch i ordered a cuvée that paired perfectly. (The cashier helped with that). After lunch we went into the tasting room. Marlene was our taster "pourer". She was so welcoming and engaging. Her knowledge of the property and the champagne was vast. She also told us about a holiday festival that is coming and we look forward to going back. I would recommend Korbel to anyone passing through too. You can easily stop at the deli for to go options. If you're staying in nearby Rio Nido or Guerneville, utilize the taxi service for a more relaxing option of not having to drive. (Please have a DD if you're not staying) Don't forget to look up. The lighting is amazing. Salud

This was a return trip for me, I remembered coming to the Korbel Winery back in 2014. The tour is nice and is one of the best, the view is simply amazing, and our tour guide was a wonderful lady whose been there for over 20yrs with volumes of knowledge. They even have a delicatessen, the line extended to the outside. The check-in was quick, the nice young lady at the door showed me where to go meet with my group. We enjoyed ourselves as did others even the ppl from Dallas, Texas. We sampled some of their champagnes that they only sell at the Korbel Winery, you won't find them at your local grocery store! The Redwoods are absolutely beautiful.

As club members, we got a free tasting (flight of 5) plus a little extra of what we liked. Staff was friendly and the space was not crowded.

Came here for the first time to celebrate my birthday with friends and it was the best decision!! Tour is free with a glass at the end, and the tasting was very affordable. We were impressed! No reservation needed, group of 8 easily accommodated, and the best part was our server Chris! We love him!

Brought my just-turned 21-year-old daughter here a week ago. We ate lunch at the deli there and sat outside on the balcony. The deli has wonderful dishes (we got a great broccoli salad and a panzanella salad) and really good coffee. We also went for the tour (be sure to sign up right when you get there). The tour was fun and we got to learn a little history and see old wine cellars. Then they gave a tasting of one of their sparkling wines at the end. I'm not a serious wine drinker, so a glass or two of wine was perfect for me. Of course, one could also buy wine at the deli or buy a complete tasting service. So, something for everyone. I would highly recommend this place. It was a delightful afternoon.

Happened to take my wife on a beautiful Sunday afternoon for lunch. The delicatessen was busy but smooth lines. They offered hot sandwiches, salads beer and of course the bubbles. Many visitors are staying in the area others from out of town. We didn't indulge the bubbles but the atmosphere here was great! There were some children with their families but they were extremely bored. But the adults will enjoy this place as much as we did.

Reserve Early!!!! Covid-19 definitely has changed how you visits wineries now! I've been here multiple times in the past and never had a hard time getting a quick taste.. Now! Plan your trip ahead! This place is worth to visit. Lots of beautiful ivy surrounding the building. Recently came up here for a Fall Girls Wine Weekend and it didn't disappoint with the view of the yellow grape leaves. It looked like a sea of gold. I know they are dying leaves. But it was a beautiful foliage! Something interesting.... Korbel got to keep the name champagne before the term champagne can only be used for wines from Champagne, France. ;) If you didn't get a tasting reserved, it's also a great place to have lunch and buy a bottle of wine here. You can eat it in there bistro! Delish!

Stopped by for a champagne tasting, and it was a great overall experience. The grounds have such a rich and historic past. They had a sale on the bottles, and I took advantage and brought some back home. The staff was very knowledgeable and kind. I also saw that they were offering a tour if you want a more inclusive experience.

Not the crème de la crème of champagne but no less enjoyable. We had a wonderful experience at Korbel and can't wait to return. You don't have to spend a ton of money to have an enjoyable glass or 7 glasses of champagne. Tasting was exceptional service was outstanding and the food was delicious. I highly recommend Korbel for your tasting agenda.

My friend took us here as a spur of the moment weekend visit to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately you need reservations for the tours. We still had a good time ordering drinks and food from the deli and sitting in the patio area with the dog. It was quite crowded on the weekend and you're only allowed to sit in certain sections if you have your furry companion with you. I enjoyed the drinks. I believe I ordered a pomegranate Bellini and some sort of rosé. Both were good. View wise it's right off a fairly busy road. Plenty of shade and redwood trees. I could see myself having a relaxing lunch and champagne with some friends here. But I admit there are probably more scenic wineries. I'm glad I had the opportunity to visit. Hopefully next time we plan better and can get a tour.

The food at the deli is alright if you're in a quick time crunch for a quick lunch, there's definitely better options for lunch if you have the time. Service was great, staff was very sweet and ambiance was relaxing outside. However the girl at the front let me know that they no longer give industry discounts, which was the main reason I came here in the first place.

Absolutely worth a visit! The guided tour is insightful. The tastings are amazing and the restaurant food and service are great.
