Korbel Winery

🥂 Everyone has heard of Korbel, and we weren’t expecting much, but we were pleasantly surprised! We 100% recommend stopping in if you’re in the area. Along with the tasting, we got a fascinating history lesson. 📖 We won’t spoil it, but be sure to ask what they sold first and why they’re allowed to use 'champagne' on their labels. 🍾 This experience is also very affordable and even waived with the purchase of a few bottles. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t need a bottle of bubbly in their fridge? 🥂✨

I'm giving 4 stars due to the length of time the tasting took. Our server got busy, but we were there for over an hour and a half. We experienced a tasting which at times our glasses were empty for a while before our server got to us. However, it was still fun, and I did become a member. The main reason is they offer champagne that isn't sold in the stores. We visited on a Sunday, and no reservations were needed. Afterward, we were going to visit their deli, but the line was at least 10 deep. Recommend visiting when you have time on your hands.

Korbel is a "must-do" when you are visiting Sonoma County! (We love to visit so much, we joined the wine club! ) We highly recommend the free tour - you will learn so much about Sonoma County, the history of Korbel, and the process of making Champagne.

THE BEST! Started with the tasting, our host was very sweet and gave us great tip throughout our tasting experience. Lovely views. Didn’t get to go on the tour because it got booked quickly. Recommend you book in advance to make sure you get the tour first (it was mentioned to us that it makes the experience better)

If you like bubbly this should definitely be a stop on your trip to wine country. They offer two options 1. Seated tasting, which is inside in their tasting room, costs $25 per person and you taste 5 bubblies. 2. You purchase a bottle (or more) on your own, and you can order food at the Deli and enjoy your bubbly and food at the patio area. The deli has vegan and gluten free options. They also offer a tour which takes about an hour. We chose the second option and enjoyed our bubbly with food on the patio. Oh and they are kid friendly if you’re traveling with anyone under 21.

Korbel is a magical place. I went for a wine tasting on a Sunday, and although busy, I still enjoyed myself. The grounds and landscaping are beautiful. I bought the Korbel Moscato, which was terrific.

When visiting Napa Valley, my wife and I wanted to have a Wine Tasting experience. Hence visited KORBEL WINERY. Surprisingly, we had a Champagne Tasting experience where we tasted 5 types of champagne. Special mention to Miss Debbie who was our hostess. She was a very friendly person who was very jovial and welcoming. As I was driving, we informed Debbie that only one of us could do the tasting. For which she informed us that we could opt to pay for one person, and we could share. That was ideal for us as my wife could drink as much as she wanted, while I could have a sip of each for the experience and not worry about driving. This experience helped us understand the differences in fermentation process for wine and champagne, the technical aspects, types of grapes used in the region and in general, and all other aspects. Debbie was also able to answer all the doubts and questions we had on the subject. Even the other personnel at the winery were very welcoming and hospitable. The place was beautiful. The warm decor of the interiors gave us a tranquil mood. The ambiance was what we imagine and expected a winery would be like. We were able to visit without prior appointments for the tasting.

We visited Korbel Winery & deli on the way to a roadtrip. We didn’t have a great deal of time, but we were still offered a completely glass of the presidential wine which was delicious. The experience was made even better by being able to sit outside and enjoy the lovely scenery of the venue and the peaceful atmosphere that accompanies it. If you have time, I would recommend checking out the deli next door which does incredible sandwiches and salads perfect for a hot day.
