Kunde Family Winery

While traveling from Santa Rosa to Sonoma, we took the scenic route and decided to stop at this gorgeous estate along the way. We were the first to arrive at 10:30 a.m. and, while initially judged for our early timing, we explained that we were on East Coast time, which earned us a pass. We were walk-ins without reservations. It took a little time for the staff to warm up to us, but once they did, they were friendly and accommodating. It was an average wine tasting, served at the bar, with a mini lesson on the region’s microclimates and how they influenced the wines. Overall, it’s a pleasant stop if you’re in the area and looking to enjoy beautiful surroundings and a bit of wine education.

This was such a fun stop!!! Kunde is only one of a few vineyards that have a wine cave and it’s so incredible to see! We were lucky enough to catch the 11am tour and are so glad we did. Wade led the tour and walking through those caves was a bucket list item for sure The $25 tasting was well worth it as we got to try a variety of their wines and have Wade there to explain the flavors. The grounds are gorgeous without feeling gimmicky or pretentious. As a new wine drinker I felt comfortable asking questions as I was learning. If you only choose one winery to visit, you wouldn’t be disappointed with this one!!

We go here for our yearly team Wine Tasting and always have a wonderful experience. Lisa took care of us just like last year and she goes above and beyond as usual as well as Dana and Naomi. But Marcia’s lack of presence at the winery very much shows as she always stop by our table and chats with us. Miss her warmth presence but the staff is amazing as always and great wines despite us not being able to reorder our cases for work.

Kunde is such a special and beautiful winery! My husband and I just visited last weekend to celebrate 10 years together and did the Kunde on the Mountaintop experience. This was hands down my favorite winery experience I've had in my 4 trips to the Napa/Sonoma areas. I really didn't want it to end! The "Kunde on the Mountaintop" experience began with a splash of rose upon checking in. We then got poured a lovely Sauvignon Blanc as we got a tour of the caves and the winery grounds. We then got a taste of Chardonnay as we got in the Kunde van and made our way up to the mountaintop. Once up there, we had a tasting of truly amazing red wines while enjoying a breathtaking view of Kunde's vineyards and Sonoma valley. It was really cool to see the vineyards up close especially basically taking a drive through them. We passed the spot where people can get married (including Seth Rogen in 2011!) and the boxing ring that was used in the Bottle Shock film. In fact, we learned that a lot of the movie was filmed at Kunde, which of course, we came home and rewatched it and remembered so much of what we had seen on our drive and during our visit! Our tour guide, Sean, was absolutely phenomenal. We ended up basically being on a private tour by chance, so we got the extra time to ask questions and learn about Kunde, Sonoma valley and its AVAs and wine knowledge in general. He helped us pair our charcuterie with the wines he presented us. I fell in love with Kunde's Cab Franc with brie cheese so much so that I had to buy a bottle to bring home with me! We appreciated all of the conversation we had with Sean and the time he took to ensure we had a fantastic celebration and experience on the mountaintop. In case anyone is wondering, yes there are bathrooms located in the mountaintop area, so do not worry (LOL)! After about an hour on the mountaintop, we made our way back to the main property. We got to sit in a private room and finish up our tasting. We really could have spent way more time at Kunde and been perfectly content. We walked around the property a bit and took pictures by their stunning pond. The fall foliage definitely added to the beauty of Kunde this visit. We have been guests at Kunde before during my 30th birthday in 2022 when we were a large group. The amazing customer service we received then was matched and exceeded this time around, which I didn't think was possible. This winery is definitely one you cannot miss, regardless of the experience you choose!

Such a great place to spend an afternoon. Our wine tasting session went perfect with Roger. The wines were really good and he gave us the wine’s background with great detail and passion. We bought a lot of bottles to go! The winery is also really cute with a beautiful pond right by the main area. Overall highly recommend.

Edit: Third visit today 11/2/24 - absolutely amazing experience. First of all it’s incredibly beautiful right now with the fall colors. Sean, Rae, and Sally helped us with a bar lounge tasting and they were so incredibly kind and helpful. Couldn’t ask for a better experience - and I picked up my shipment of wines!! Can’t wait to enjoy them at home. The wine tastings were amazing and generously poured. I am so happy to be a member here. Edit: second visit today 8/10/24- just as awesome an experience as the first !! Tried the Kineybrook tasting and loved all the wines - our favorite was the 2022 Chardonnay reserve. What made the experience incredible was the kindness and warmth of our server Carrie. She was so helpful and attentive and also made us feel very comfortable with our two babies running around. Way to go Carrie !! Original review: My family and I became members today after an amazing first experience and tasting with Sonaya. I was the designated driver so I actually didn’t taste the wine, but everybody thoroughly enjoyed the wine, the ambiance, and most importantly the attentive and kind reception we received by everybody we spoke to. The lady welcoming folks with reservations in the K room was very friendly and helpful. Sonaya also did a wonderful job, providing us with the perfect, personalized wine tasting experience for those that were drinking. She also explained the benefits of membership and we decided that we want to make Kunde a part of our experience living in the Bay Area. We took home twelve wonderful bottles mixed between Rose, Syrah, and Meritage. We really look forward to experiencing our membership here and will update this post as we experience more.

We did the Kunde Mountain Top Tour & Tasting in mid October. It also included walking through their very impressive wine caves to riding in a very comfortable van to the top of the mountain. At the top, we were surprised to find out the opening scene of Bottle Shock was filmed there. The views are spectacular and the wine tasting takes place at the highest point overlooking the expansive vineyards. Just breathtaking! The wines were awesome. It was difficult to decide which ones to take home! We hesitated doing this tour due to price but in the end it was one of our favorite spots in Sonoma and worth every penny!

Had a great tasting last week with Dana! He made it feel so special and was a great host. It was our honeymoon, and he even gave us a gift when we sat down at our table. What a great experience - please check this place out!

Realized I never shared my review on Yelp. Here's my Google Review which shares our experience as a Kunde club member over three separate visits. The most recent visit was after change in owner and everything was as wonderful as ever. Edit: Third visit today 11/2/24 - absolutely amazing experience.

Came here last weekend for a wine tasting and had the most incredible time! All the wine we had was so good we took a bottle back to our airbnb with us. The charcuterie board was delicious and the outdoor area is absolutely beautiful! Dana was the best staff member we came across at any of our tastings! He explained all the wines we would taste with the most vivid descriptions and was so kind and personable. We loved Kunde and would definitely come back and hopefully see Dana again!

We did a cave tour and then six wine tasting at the main bar, and this is the only winery that all four of the women who tasted bought wine at all weekend! Our host was David, who was great (although moved a bit quick in the caves -- I have little legs!). The tasting was delicious and I loved almost all the wines we tasted! My favorites were the Block 4SB20 Sauvignon Blanc, the light 5th Gen Blend red, and Red Dirt Red. Shipping prices were incredibly affordable, and so I was able to buy four bottles that were at my house in less than a week. I want to call out a special shout out to the accessibility of this winery! More so than any of the other wineries we visited during our three days in Napa/Sonoma, the Kunde Family Winery was so accessible. They had a low bar side and chair for those who needed to wheel up or a low seat during tasting, and included them as part of the tasting (which feels like an easy win but was surprisingly difficult to find throughout the area). Super thanks to the Kunde Family Winery for this clear dedication to accessibility!

Showed up on a Friday at 4 pm with no reservations, however, the staff were kind enough to accommodate us with a tasting. I will say that I do not believe we got the "whole experience" in terms of service but we did show up one hour to close with no reservations. The property is BEAUTIFUL with tons of outdoor seating overlooking the pond, vineyard, and caves. We both did a full tasting which included 6 wines for $25 per person. - 2022 Signature rose - 2022 Magnolia Lane Sauvignon Blanc - 2021 Chardonnay - C.S. Ridge - 2019 Heritage Block Zinfandel - 2021 5th Gen Blend - 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Kunde offers cave tours and a mountain top tasting which sounds like a ton of fun. Next time I'm in the area I'd love to do one.

Bf and I came for a wine tasting at the 202 lounge which doesn't require a reservation. We had a great time. Our sommelier was so sweet and catered the tasting to our preferences, pouring us some wines that were off the list. Some wines we liked less than others but there wasn't a single one we didn't like. I was impressed with the pricing here and our somm told us they're able to keep the prices lower since most of the wines are made from grapes grown on the property - and there is quite a wine selection here. I had a feeling they had a wide selection because from afar, you can see the vast vineyards lining the mountains. The only wine we tried that was made from grapes of a different property was the pinot noir from Russian River Valley. One of my faves which we ended up taking home was the Magnolia Lane Sauvignon blanc. Also took home the Cabernet Sauvignon - Drummond. I'm not usually a cab sauv girl but this one is really good. They offer a mountaintop tasting here as well as seated tasting, both require reservations. There's a cave tour and tasting daily starting at 11am. Bf and I were able to come back for that since we live only about a half hour away and it was a fun experience. There is comfortable seating by the pond and we enjoyed relaxing there for a bit after our tasting. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. Definitely going to return and recommend to my friends when they come to visit. Not to mention the drive into the property is beautiful, lined by magnolia trees.

Solid, solid, solid. We've been here a few times and have enjoyed the experience each time. It's a very popular winery and as such attracts quite a few people. Anywhere there's a stand up bar/wine tasting, you're almost sure to have a slight step down in clientele (let's be honest......). Some people look like they just rolled out of bed.....a bit of a shame. The grounds here are beautiful -- it's a lovely spot with various sitting areas. The service has always been good, they have a variety of experiences here. We've done cave tasting with Wade as the host which was a great experience. We've enjoyed ourselves each time here -- the wines are good, but I've never had anything here that has blown me away. All in all, you'll be sure to find something you like here. Nice spot.

Kunde was a very nice winery! Very dog-friendly! We didn't order any food, but Tressa offered treats for our dogs, which was super nice. The atmosphere is very relaxed with beautiful views of the fields. The wines were fantastic and Tressa catered to our different tastes. Highly recommend!

Very popular spot for the bougie set to unwind. Pretty nice grounds with a large outdoor patio, man-made pond with fountain and professionally kept landscaping. Very pretty but I just tend to like the more rustic and farm-like types of wineries. This place will get swarmed by flowing summer dresses with oversized shades and silver haired dudes with sandals and button up floral shirts. It is part of that landscape here. I went on a quiet weekday tasting. They were able to get me in after logging some info in, as they like to pair you with a personal pourer. This is a common avenue for wine tasting these days. Here it was $45 for about a little over an hours of wine tasting with at least 6 different wines. You can custom the pours to your liking, and if you really sound interested you can easily go beyond the 6 initial pours. I like that model therefore I don't mind paying for a session if I can learn a good deal from a winery. I found the wines to be really solid, very clean and crisp and well balanced. None were over-the-top ripe and heavy, which many can get in our warmer climate valleys. I did find a common theme, so they do have a certain style/philosophy here, which I happen to like. Not crazy expensive but also not cheap. You can get a $30-$40 bottle here and most are in the $50-$70 range. The tasting comes with a decent size charcuterie board with varying cheeses of different sharpness and textures, a little salumi, some fried almonds, a jar of fig jam, dried fruits and thin crackers. Very nice spread to do a tasting with and will greatly enhance their wines. Not a bad stop as I've always passed this place and glad I finally tried. Would definitely try again on a weekday but would avoid the rat race on a weekend.

The wife and I were up in Kenwood for a birthday and wanted to check out a few wineries while there. Here best friend was travelling with us and felt this winery might be up our alley. To my surprise it did beat my expectations. I have been to other wineries and this one sold me on coming back again. The customer service was excellent and I don't remember the gentleman who served us but he gave us a very good history of the winery and the types of wines they do make there. The place was great and very much clean as a whistle. Just touring the establishment was a thrill and will definitely be going back again. I did purchase a case of one of their fine wines and made sure to be part of their wine club. Thanks again KUNDE WINERY..........Semper Fi.......................

Bankrupt! Broken Contract! Still Has $6K Wedding Venue Deposit! We contracted Kunde's Boot Hill for our 2025 wedding, and within three months, they informed us that we could no longer use the venue, breaking our contract. They initially offered to refund our $6K deposit, which we begrudgingly accepted, only to fail repayment - leaving us with a lengthy court process as our only recourse. It is not possible to recommend Kunde any less.

If I could give this spot 10 stars, I totally would. Kunde Winery was the absolute best winery I have ever experienced. Upon arrival, we were served a glass of wine until it was time for our tour to begin. We started our tour in a small bus that took us around the property where we experienced stunning views of the vineyard and enjoyed a couple of tastings. Our tour concluded in a wine cave paired with individual charcuterie boards. All of the tastings were amazing and the views and service was absolutely phenomenal

I was so happy that I found this wonderful wine tasting place. The customer service is outstanding!!! The best wine tasting i have ever experienced. I was pleased that we found this spot in our vacation.

While driving to our hotel we noticed Kunde Winery and decided to stop by and take a looks. So happy we did. The grounds are beautiful and so is the interiors. They offer hilltop tasting which has breathtaking views of the valley. Also they gave cave tastings in the winter months. We couldn't do either but will definitely plan a visit for our next Sonoma trip. We did get to try some of their wines and get a few bottles to enjoy at home. Family owned Gorgeous views Great customer service Great ambiance Sustainable winery Delicious wines Check them out when in the area or even better plan ahead and make reservations ...

The reviews speak for themselves! This is my first time visiting Sonoma county and at a local restaurant not far from our stay was a gentleman (Reiner) who recommended this beautiful winery. Today this was the first stop of what I thought to be many, but it became the majority of the day. The wine is fabulous! Holly created an amazing experience. From beginning to current events of the property, to delicate and intricate wine details. Coming from SoCal, I had very little hesitation to sign up as a member because of how great the entire experience was! I've joined more than 10 wineries over time and by far this was one of my favorite experience. Recommend 5 stars because when everything is just right, it's basically near perfect! Thanks again! I cannot wait to come back and visit!

My friends and I came here for a bachelorette party in July. It was our first time and winery experience in Sonoma. We had a lovely time, learned a lot about wine through the tasting, and enjoyed the cave tour. However, I'm most impressed by the customer service. Weeks later, we ordered a few bottles of the 2023 Magnolia Lane Sauvignon Blanc and 2023 Signature Rose (highly recommend!). Rob contacted me shortly after I left a voicemail. He thoroughly explained the process of ordering wine via an online form, answering all my questions with care and patience when there was confusion. Our wine was shipped and delivered in no time with zero issues. Overall, my friends and I highly recommend coming to Kunde Family Winery. You will have a wonderful experience!

An absolute slice of HEAVEN! Kunde completely blew me away from start to finish. Stunningly gorgeous grounds, exemplary service, and scrumptious wines on deck! I am so swooned. My friend and I came here for a tasting and we had such an amazing time! First off, can we talk about those grounds?! Immaculate! As soon as you step out of your vehicle, you'll be hit with the most beautiful views of their vineyards up on the hillside. They have a grand estate with several outdoor tasting areas. We were seated on of their covered patio area that overlooks their lovely pond. Their lawn is so vibrantly green and well-manicured. Talk about views for DAYS! Their estate is truly striking. I did step inside their indoor tasting to explore a bit, and it too was super chic and beautifully designed. Sean was our host and he was such a pleasure to taste with. This man seriously knows his wines and it shows. We told him about our wine preferences and he knew exactly what we would enjoy. Every single wine that we tasted was delicious! EVERY. Single. One. There wasn't one bad wine that we tried. In fact, they were all so amazing that it was hard to choose just a few. I honestly could have bought their whole damn catalog, but I was budgeting for the day since we were stopping at a few other wineries (and you know how pricey wine can get). Sean was nice enough to pour us a few splashes of wines that weren't on their regular tasting menu. I instantly fell in love with their bright and jammy Pinot Noir and their super light and refreshing Rose. Purchased them both and have since finished both bottles. Yeah... I couldn't wait to drink those babies. They were absolutely scrumptious. I also really enjoyed their Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Red Blend, and their amazing Zinfandel. Basically, their entire tasting menu! I told you I loved them all! They have several different tasting options that range for their most basic outside bar tasting ($20) to their above the mountains and tour special tasting ($100). We decided to do their Kinneybrook tasting ($45) which is a seated tasting by reservation in the Kinneybrook tasting room and/or patio area. I'm generally not a fan of paying for high tasting fees, but this experience at Kunde is worth every single penny. I should also note that they have a snack menu and they also do wine by the glass and bottle. Get those dang truffle chips! Their truffle chips are super addictive and they pair well with their yummy white wines. Kunde has a wine cave and they conduct wine cave and winery tours, but we didn't get to explore the cave this time around. But trust; I will definitely be coming back to explore it in the future. Wine tasting at Kunde was absolutely exceptional. I am so elated to come back for another tasting!

Went here for my best friend's bachelorette party and we all had a blast! We did the cave tasting and it was amazing! David was exceptional and went above and beyond throughout our time with him. The wines were great and the views were beautiful. Can't wait to tell my friends in Texas to look for this wine to buy in stores!

Another great visit. Thank you Dana for making the day great. My husband had a wonderful birthday celebration. It was a warm day but it was nice to be out on the patio listening to the water, sipping wine and making memories. The charcuterie board was such a tasteful pairing to our wine. The local cheeses were heaven. Can't wait for our next visit

Came here last week for a wedding and stopped by the tasting room first, huge shout out to Sally for her exceptional service! Would highly recommend! The Sauv Blanc was delicious.

My mother in law is a member and really wanted to take us here for some tastings. Too bad it was raining so we could not enjoy their beautiful patio and views. We sat in their covered patio. The wines were delightful! We really enjoyed their Zinfandel and their Pinots. Their cheese charcuterie board is also very tasty. And one of the best best food item is their truffle potato chips from Torres! We ended up buying a bag and 6 bottles of their wines. One little inconvenience is the member has to buy the wine in order to receive the members discount. Other wineries aren't too strict on that as long as the member is there. Service was very friendly, but it was only her, so it got slow at times. She was really friendly and customer oriented. They also had a fun elf on the shelf game to win some goodies. Fun times!

Always a fav - we truly enjoyed our wine tasting experience and our host Dana was knowledgeable and fun! Charcuterie was a nice touch. Wines were good to great and the grounds are some of our favorite. Did not love that they are now allowing children in the tasting rooms - table next to us had 5 kids under 12 and it was a bit of a distraction and took away from the overall elegance of the experience. We will still be back just may have to request a section away from families to get the experience we were looking for.

I've been going to Kunde for years and unfortunately the staff seem to decrease in service almost every visit. Some are blatantly rude and just don't wanna be there. It'll be awhile until I head to that winery again. Their wine you can find anywhere.

We planned our trip last year to Sonoma /Napa . Kunde was on the top of our list! The grounds were absolutely stunning and we were looking forward to our tasting. Sadly when we arrived to check in we were told our reservation was not found in there system despite booking online . They said they were completely booked and had to turn us away. :(

Stunning winery grounds with one of the largest outdoor areas I've seen. Absolutely gorgeous views of the winery and country side. Also a children and dog-friendly winery. We did the $20 Wine Tasting with 7 tasting - this one is specifically only offered at the bar. However, they do have a Wine Tasting you can do make reservations for too. The pours were small - but it was expected for $20. After the tasting, we stayed for a glass of wine and cheese. They have a wide food menu. Their cheese plates are pre-made but the waiter was able to make a vegetarian one for us by replacing the meat with extra cheese. My favorite was seeing the owner walking the grounds having the best time of his life.

This was my first visit to Kunde and it was a great first impression. It took a few minutes to be recognized in the store/entry room, but there was a large party that arrived just before us that was kinda distracting. Once we were greeted, all was good. We were taken to a table in a protected and heated outdoor area (was in November) which had incredible views of the yard and pond around the tasting room. All of the wines were great and we were also afforded a bonus pour or two once it was clear that we were buying some bottles. We also had the charcuterie board which featured some incredible local jam (which we bought a jar of, too). We'll definitely be back here in other seasons, too.

The setting is very beautiful, and the weather was perfect! The wine was really good, left with a couple of bottles and the staff in the gift shop were pleasant. With that being said, our experience was not as enjoyable. The sommelier I guess was not in the best of moods. At one point my friend asked him what he would recommend having with a good steak, his reply was " if you are tired of having margaritas with your tacos, this is what I would recommend". To say the least you can imagine my friend got very upset, because we are Latinas you assume we only eat tacos, the question was about steak not tacos. I persuaded my friend not to complain because we were there as invited guest. We will give it another try in a couple of months since my friend is a member but will definitely request another sommelier if we happen to get the same one.

excellent wines and excellent service by Sean. Have been here in the past and was very high pressured by one of the servers, which really turned us off. Today Sean took care of us and we were able to focus on the wines, all of which were excellent. Dreaded coming back here due to past high pressure experiences but today was such a delight, I can't believe we joined the wine club!! Loved their wines and loved Sean!!!

Our recent visit to Kunde Vineyards in Kenwood, CA, was an impressive blend of top-notch wines, striking scenery, and superior service. Highlights included a tour of their unique wine cave and a delicious charcuterie board overlooking the valley, which perfectly complimented their delicious and diverse wine selection. But the real standout was our Wine Educator, Sally Buonpane. She was not only knowledgeable and passionate about wine but also incredibly patient with our chatty group. If you plan to visit Kunde Vineyards, ask for Sally. Her charismatic approach and in-depth wine knowledge will significantly enhance your experience. Highly recommended!

Took my mother there for mothers day! And she is a Kunde. Had a great time!! Sat out on the patio . Wasn't busy _ we went Monday after Mother's day.

Loved the views and the wine! Sat in an Adirondack chair by the pond under the trees and enjoyed the view of the vineyard!

We got a Vintage wine Estate Passport and Kunde family winery was on the list of places to go!! It was really wonderful!! Friendly!! Good wine!! Really informative and beautiful grounds!! If your nearby!! Come in and enjoy this winery!!!! Needless to say we joined!! I'm excited to come visit again

We had a couple hours free while visiting family in Santa Rosa and called hoping to get in a quick tasting and we're super glad we did! We usually spend our time in Dry Creek and Healdsburg but Kunde is a gem if you are in Santa Rosa. This family owned and operated Estate has some great wines. The fifth generation was there busing tables and cleaning glasses which is always great to see. The charcuterie that comes with the tasting perfectly comps the wines. The indoor and outdoor settings are beautiful too. We will definitely be back when we roll through Santa Rosa.

What a great vineyard! I highly recommend the wine tasting with the cheese pairing. Not only are the wines incredible, but we had the best service from Lisa. She was full of energy, great conversation, and incredibly personable. Being from the area, we loved the information she had to share on the vineyard history, family and other destinations to visit later in the day. This vineyard is a great place to visit as a couple, with family or large groups. Looking forward to visiting the vineyard again soon.

My wife and I signed up for the mountain tasting tour, there were 6 all together. The tour included the underground aging tunnels as well as the mountain top vineyards. The views were fantastic and we learned a lot about the day to day operations of Kunde Family Winery, and of course tasted many fine wines and charcuterie on the mountain top. Throughout the tour, our guide Wade, was excellent. He was interesting to listen to, very engaging, and not a bad photographer. Overall a great experience and great wine, we joined the wine club.

Beautiful and tranquil winery. We came as guests of my father who is a member and had a great time. They provided a small snack with the tasting and the gentleman who helped us was friendly and knowledgeable.

Our experience at Kunde family winery was absolutely phenomenal! The property is in a serene setting, with hills of Vineyards, and a pond. The staff was outstanding, especially Noah. He shared so much knowledge about this amazing winery in the care that goes into crafting each and every wine. We were absolutely amazed from start to finish and have a new favorite winery. We cannot wait to come back and visit again. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Cheers!

By far the favorite part of our trip in Napa/ Sonoma! The tasting experience was interactive, and Noah was a wonderful guide through the tasting menu. The property was beautiful and the variety of wines was appreciated by everyone in our party.

We felt so welcome today to bring our picnic and enjoy and incredible bottle of Kunde sparkling rose. Colleen was super friendly and accommodating to us (and our dog!). We will definitely come back and bring friends. It made for a perfect place to stop and enjoy life with friends and family. A+ vibe.

Don't come if you're a young woman. My friends and I came as part of our trip to Sonoma, and I was really excited because I have had Kunde wine before and know people who are wine club members and loved their visits. However, when we arrived, it was clear that we were not going to be treated the same because we are young women, who might seemingly not know a lot about wine. We opted for the patio seating and went to the bar, where Paul was the bartender. I decided to do the tasting while my friends were looking at the list of wines by the glass. One of my friends decided on the sparkling rose, which was on the list of wines by the glass but wasn't open at the time. Paul tried to say that it wasn't available at first but then said that he had to go to the back to get it, so it would take a little longer. My friend said it would be fine, and then Paul turned to my other friends and said, rudely, "Are you guys sure you don't want any of the rose? Because I have a feeling when I come back you're going to change your minds and then I'm going to have to get more." We were appalled at his condescending comment. When he got back, he started pouring wines for my other friends to try. This would have been nice, except he told my friends, "See, you know what kind of wines you like, but your palettes just aren't developed yet." Again, we were appalled that he thought he knew anything about our background and experience level with wine. I have taken a wine course in college and visited wineries around the world, but how could he have known that? It was clear that no matter how much we were interested in learning more about wine, we were not going to be taken seriously. My friends got their glasses of wine and sat far away from the bar. Because I decided on the tasting, I went back up to the bar after I had finished each tasting. I saw Paul talking about the different wines to other customers, but when he poured my wine, he told me the name of it and started to leave. I had to ask follow up questions about the wine to learn more about it, which was very different from any other wine tasting I've done and different from the other customers' experiences as well. This happened every time that I went to get the next tasting. I also asked Paul about the wine club because I was interested in joining. However, he tried to talked me out of it and said that I should just order wine on the membership of the person I know who is a member. Again, I was shocked. I wanted to learn more about the club and its benefits, as I was seriously considering it, but I was not taken seriously. I was really disappointed in my experience because I had heard so many good things about Kunde, and I had hoped that this could have been handled without having to write a bad review online. I contacted Kunde on the form on their website and never got a response back. I hope that they take time to reflect and realize that they should treat everyone with respect, no matter their age or background.

This is a fabulous winery with so much beauty. We did the mountain top tasting and it is worth the investment!! This is a great venue for events and weddings as well.

My first experience in wine country couldn't have been better because I chose to go to Kunde Family Winery. I came with my SIL, she was representing a restaurant that carries their wine and looking to bring in more. Regardless of the reason their, I truly believe they treat every single patron with this level of service. It was 5 stars all the way from entering to our table and the food and wine served. We did their "tasting" which include trying their estate wine + a more expensive wines of the same kind. We tried the Chardonnay, Sauv Blanc, Cab Sauv, and Zin. Honestly, I don't know if I can ever drink a bargain wine again because these are so flavorful. We sampled a wine that was grown on a vine thats over 100 years old, so I look forward to bragging about that to anyone who will listen for forever. I'd like to think I'm a wino but when you hear the history of the vineyard, the careful detail they take in making it, I learned so much more. Shannon did our tasting and cellar tour and she radiates sunshine, even on a cloudy day. She is so passionate about the wine you'd think she'd been doing this for 20+ years instead of just a few months. Seeing the cellars and there private VIP room, I immediately want to get remarried just to celebrate here. There are so many wineries to choose from in this area, but you'd be doing yourself a disservice to not stop by Kunde. You might even meet Jeff Kunde and he adorable dog Cooper!

This was my favorite wine tasting experience in the Sonoma area. Unfortunately, we were two days too early for the mountain top tasting, but we booked the private cave tasting instead. That is an absolute must-try if you're in the area! We tried five wines, all paired with small bites of cheese, chocolate, and even lemon. I don't usually enjoy a Zinfandel, but theirs is awesome. Even better, the Cabernet is one of the best I've had, and is also what prompted me to join their wine club. Great service and very sweet people. The next time I am in the area, I plan to check out the mountaintop tasting.

I found this place on a blog and it doesn't disappoint! At first I thought it might be a bit too commercial, but once I was there I loved that it was beautiful and not too crowded. My husband and I both did outside bar tasting and it was great. We both had a different flights and the sharing experience was amazing. The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful! The wine was great, but the people there made it even better! Make sure to book the mountain top tasting experience in advance. We couldn't get it that day but I would go back just for it. Didn't buy any wine because we have it in Texas, but if not I would have definitely purchased a few bottles. A must in Sonoma

David went above and beyond for our bridal group today! We did a cave tasting and tour. David totally made our visit today! From educating us to entertaining us, he was great! Great wines and an even better tour guide!

We visited this place during our honeymoon. This was our first stop in Sonoma county for a tasting and let me tell you this place sets the standard. Right from the start we were welcomed by friendly staff and led outside to the covered tasting area. Guests were seated in a social distancing manner from other parties and staff were wearing masks which was comforting. We were given such wonderful service from Michaela and Dana. It was wonderful hearing the history of the winery and learning that they are the oldest and largest in the county sitting in 1850 acres. The property is massive and so beautifully cared for. You can tell everyone who works here loves their job. We were able to taste many different wines and there wasn't a single one that was not excellent. We loved every single option Michaela shared with us. They do a great job of tailoring your experience to your wine preferences. I loved that the tasting includes a cheese plate which is obviously also curated with taste. We will be back to this place on all future visits to Sonoma. Would give 10 stars if I could. The website states reservations required but if you have trouble with site like we did you can call them and they will see if they can accommodate you if there's space. We got lucky and squeezed in early since we were nearby.

Lovely tasting. Cynthia was attentive and the accompanying cheese board was great! Wines weren't memorable but could be because we'd already done 3 tastings. . Dessert wine and chocolates were yummy!!

From Hwy 12 this place seems like not much but once you drive in the grounds are beautiful. They are also dog friendly our little 4 month old pup had fun meeting lots of new people. When you arrive you check in with the hostess and they give you a glass of their sauvignon blanc which is one of my favorites. It is just one of those wines you can just sip on all day when it's warm out. Another one I really enjoyed was their rose. I love sweets so of course had to try their dessert wine with their chocolate it was also very tasty. They also have cheese boards with delicious jams (cherry or fig). You also got to try the truffle chips they are addicting. We had Dana as our server a few times already and he really goes above and beyond. All the staff is very friendly.
