Naidu Wines & Vineyards

We have been longtime members, and this is the first time we have had an opportunity to visit the property and have a wine tasting. The experience was thoughtfully set up, including a beautiful charcuterie plate from a local cheesemonger. Raghine herself poured our wine, and each one was beautifully crafted and it was so special to hear directly from her about each one. The property was beautiful and she gave us a tour, we got to see the grapes up close. Highly recommend not only Naidu wines, many of which are rated over 90 points by the wine enthusiast, but also this wonderful tasting experience.

Absolutely blown away by this award-winning Pinot Noir. I first discovered it after meeting Raghni at a James Beard Dinner in San Francisco, which inspired me to join the wine club on the spot. I finally made it to their Sonoma estate to pick up my first club shipment and it was a lovely experience. We had a private cabana tasting paired with a local cheese and charcuterie board, and every wine we tried was exceptional. We just opened the Pinot from our shipment, and honestly we couldn’t stop sipping it. It’s rich, layered, and beautifully complex. If you love Pinot Noir, this winery is a must-try.

We had a tremendous afternoon at Naidu - the views, the cabana (along with the fire pit and bocce court), and of course the wine were all amazing! In addition, our host, Margo was fantastic and made the day extra special for our friend’s birthday celebration. All and all, Naidu was one of the highlights of our 10 day visit to Sonoma. As for the wine, the Pinots were great, but we also were extremely impressed with the Cabernet Franc, the sparkling wines, and the Viognier. I highly recommend a visit to Naidu as you plan your itinerary! You will not be disappointed!!!

I’ve been a wine club member of Naidu Wines since October 2024, and I highly recommend it! When I decided to lay roots in Northern California last year, I wanted to become a wine club member of wines that I loved, but just as importantly, of a winery I truly felt a sense of connection and belonging in. When I visited Naidu vineyards for a wine tasting with my brother and his now fiance, I truly felt that. I was so excited to be off the wine club member waitlist in October. The frequency for the Premier Cru Club (four bottles of wine three times a year) fit my needs perfectly, and it was nice to be able to avail the complimentary tastings (for up to two) during my last visit to the vineyard. Naidu Wines Rosé of the Pinot Noir was an integral part of my partner's housewarming, a cheese picnic that rung in summer, and a dinner celebrating my brother's engagement (something about the rosé is just the right amount of fun, approachable, and delicious). I personally love their Catie’s Corner Viognier (it is so smooth and oily, it is unlike any Viognier I have ever tasted), and brought it to a desi event I was nervous about. Looking forward to the next shipment!

Our afternoon at Naidu Wines was unforgettable, inspiring and uplifting. All the wines were delicious: the Brut, Rosé, Pinot Noir, and Viognier. Raghni’s vision for quality wines is matched by the magnificence of the grapes in the Pinot Noir vines. The tasting was made even more special by the authenticity of the Naidu Wines Team, the views and beautiful grounds, the cheese plate sourced from local cheeses, and the stroll through the Pinot Noir vines.

My visit to Naidu Wines started with a complimentary tasting at my hotel and I jumped at the opportunity to visit the vineyard. We love supporting women and our fellow immigrant community. Now the vineyard is easy to get to. Booking was simple online, at arrival we were greeted promptly. The vineyard is quaint, intimate and peaceful views. We had a tasting of 6 wines and enjoyed them all my favorite being the Rose. We were able to listen to our own music. Our host was knowledgeable and it was clear she wasn't just an employee but genuinely loved the wine. It was a great experience, definitely check them out.

This review is long overdue. Visited Naidu on the recommendation of a friend with two of my children back last January. Beautiful setting for the tasting overlooking the vineyard. The wines were spectacular and a nice change from the big Cabs we had tasted in Napa. My daughter prefers whites and lighter reds and my son and I tend to like reds. We got a great sampling of both along with a great Q and A session with the winemaker who presented the tasting for us. I’m looking forward to going back next month with my wife so she can experience it as well. Since I brought a few bottles home she’s already enjoyed some of their wines!

Naidu wines are truly great and a great value. The Chardonnay is spectacular, especially when compared against other California wines at a much higher price point. Their Pinots are hard to beat. Privately, I like that they’re a smaller vineyard with an exclusive wine club, so I can surprise friends with this amazing wine. However, the product is so good - it deserves to be shared with the world (although it would sell out quickly).
