Patz & Hall Winery

We reserved a vertical tasting which was slightly higher priced, but it didn't disappoint! Our wine guide walked us though the different vintages explaining the nuances of the weather and harvest locations to the tastes. We even had some "mystery" tastings to encourage our knowledge at the end.

We love Patz and Hall wines. I'm so glad we booked our visit and tasting while in the area. Hands down, our favorite Pinot and so happy it's back in family hands. We enjoy visiting local gems that emphasize the quality of the wines and take advantage of long term relationships with the vineyards and growers. This visit was one of the highlights of our trip. Can't wait to receive our shipment!

We’ve been to over 40 wineries in the area, and this was in the top 10!!! Fantastic pinots and chardonnays (and was pleasantly surprised by the bubbles as well!)! Huge thanks to Michelle to not only giving us an amazing wine tasting experience, but also being super knowledgeable about the region in general and giving us a great lunch recommendation 😊 would 10/10 recommend stopping by!!

Top notch hospitality experience! From the time of confirming the reservation to the time we arrived, I was already sold. Once we stepped foot inside the staff was super welcoming and the tasting experience was tailored to our individual tastes, which made it so much better. The winery is just the right size which allows for an intimate tasting experience, but also lends itself to cater to larger groups (COVID permitting) to enjoy an afternoon. It is a converted estate, that was almost tailor made to entertain. They have a variety of Chardonnay, Pinots, Sparkling, and Rose. So it should not be hard for everyone in the group to find something that they like in the lineup. If you are concerned about prices for the wines, they are in line with similar wineries of this caliber in the area. We will definitely have to make this site a regular stop of ours on our north bay excursions, and recommend you do the same.

Such a wonderful experience at this modern yet classical winery! Michelle and all of her teammates took such good care of us making our anniversary more than memorable! On top of the world class wine already on the menu, the few extra bonus pours really felt like a Christmas surprise! We were sat in front of the fireplace which added warmth and light to our experience. Definitely bring your friends and family here, if not the whole block of neighbors! ;)

The winery is on a beautiful spot of land, and the outdoor wine tasting experience was accompanied by a knowledgeable host (shoutout to Greg!). Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are their main varietals, and they've been focused on those for quite awhile. If you don't like those flavor profiles, likely do not go for a tasting. As a visitor to Napa/Sonoma, and someone perhaps less educated in the space, I was disappointed to be tasting grapes not directly from Patz & Hall's vineyards. Instead, Patz & Hall sources from vineyards around the greater Sonoma area - and Greg was gracious enough to show us where on a map!

showed up unnanounced, with 6 kids, we were welcomed like we were royalties, the host, Greg, is an incredible person, extremely knowledgeable, great sense of humour, patient, dedicated, he loves what he does and it shows. the wines we tasted were seriously outstanding, we had a private room, the decor is simple yet amazing, even if we came in during winter we had one of the best day of our trip at the winery, they make great wine, i know we left with 14 bottles. if you have one spot to visit, go see them and if you are lucky, Greg will be your host. amazing people, amazing place can only equals to amazing wine

Wonderful service, great tasting wine, especially the Pinots! Beautiful views. Can’t wait to come back!

Patz & Hall produces some of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to be found anywhere, period. The tasting room is gorgeous with plenty of room inside and outside to relax and enjoy world class wine at your own pace. Several single vineyard Chardonnay's and Pinot Noirs are available to taste. The wine stewards are very knowledgeable and keep pace with your tasting cadence. Our experience was outstanding and our party of 4 purchased several bottles of wine. We look forward to a return visit sometime in the near future.

Lovely experience. Jonny was great. Beautiful view. Nice wines. Be sure to try the sparkling wine.

Beautiful vineyard! I enjoyed wine tasting here and it was nice, very informative and great quality wine. I have to be honest, it was a bit boring, the atmosphere was as dry as the wine but I guess entertainment wasn't the goal. I can't remember the name of the person who conducted the wine tasting but she was okay, offered to take pictures and added some additional tastings to our experience which was nice. There are plenty of vineyards in Napa Valley/Sonoma, be sure to check out ones that offer the best experience along with great wine.

Karen is fantastic! We love the nose on Moses & Hall and literally bought everything! We joined the wine club and can't wait for the pick up events. Yes! We will be back!

Unfortunately, Patz & Hall just missed the mark. It was the worst winery of our trip (we loved Opus One, V. Sattui, Inglenook, and Cakebread for reference). Tasting these wines made me wish I'd never heard of this brand, and I doubt I'll purchase it again in stores. It seems the wines they sell to restaurants (where we actually first had a chardonnay from them, and loved it) and stores is better than what they let you taste at their winery. I couldn't wait to be done and move on with my day, very shortly after arriving. Really sad to say that we won't return to this winery.

The setting? Breathtaking. The wines? Superb. The wine educators? Off the charts. The hospitality? Amazing. Patz & Hall: Perfection.

Went for a wine tasting --- and I have to say, out of the 12 wineries we did throughout the few days in Sonoma, Patz & Hall wines were the best by far. A relaxed atmosphere, knowledgeable & friendly staff, and a beautiful setting. A little off of the traditional Sonoma path when "Googling" wineries, but one you must stop at!

Such a wonderful experience at this modern yet classical winery! Michelle and all of her teammates took such good care of us making our anniversary more than memorable! On top of the world class wine already on the menu, the few extra bonus pours really felt like a Christmas surprise! We were sat in front of the fireplace which added warmth and light to our experience. Definitely bring your friends and family here, if not the whole block of neighbors! ;)

We were so looking forward to the experience of this winery but alas we were left waiting having to ask where was Johnny C our host who rather be chatting inside with other clients we ended up leaving after not much love ‍ didn't even finish our tasting

Excellent service, beautiful grounds & facility! And... the wine! Loved every Pinot that I tasted! That is rare for me. Looking forward to going back

Lovely tasting. Pinot Noirs were all so different and I loved how they wanted the consumer to taste the wines side by side. Mainly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with some sparkling. Will be back

We were just there yesterday (20 Feb 2023) We were enticed by the website offer of 2 for 1 tasting when using a VISA Signature card. I've seen their basic label at Vons for years. We fish Alaska annually and have a freezer full of salmon. I'm always on a quest for Pinot's to match. I enjoy a lighter style when cooking and then pair a fuller wine with the meal. At 10:30 on a Monday, we were the only ones with a reservation. That is irrelevant as I know anyone would have received the same caliber of experience if their facility was completely booked or whomever assisted in your extensive Pinot and Chardonnay tasting. If the weather is good, request that you sit outside in full view of the property. " Johny" was so professional exuberant and he served multiple samples and glasses to compare side by side. (many more reviewers state the same experience) Full descriptions of vineyards, soil and altitudes. That's what tickles your senses and directs you to exactly what is in your glass and on your palate. Do not forsake their Chardonnay's. They were impeccable. Each wine to us, was a meal for the senses, in itself. Find your everyday Pinot but I believe you will savor their wines " every day." My 2 for 1 tasting immediately evolved into a membership! Yes, a bit out of the traditional Sonoma wine crawl, but start here and you may alter your valley visiting plans because any additional Pinot or Chard will disappoint.

Love Love Love One of our favorite brand of wines. We're members so we are privileged with great benefits. Shipments sent to us in Hawaii so we're never without. Tasting Room is gorgeous - grounds and vineyards are beautiful. Great service by Jonny C.

A couple we know are members of this winery. When we decided to do a Sonoma trip, they made an appointment for our group of six on Saturday, July 21st at 3pm. We were sat in a more private area which was nice as it felt more intimate. Sonoma House Tasting ($35 per person): *Chardonnay: 2015 Hyde Vineyard, Carneros, 61 Barrels ($65) *Chardonnay: 2015 Ritchie Vineyard, Russian River Valley, 14 Barrels ($65) *Pinot Noir: 2014 Moses-Hall Vineyard, Carneros, 23 Barrels ($75) *Pinot Noir: Sun Chase Vineyard, Sonoma Coast, 10 Barrels ($70) I'm not sure how much the tastings were, but the price mentioned above is what they have listed online. I'm honestly more of a full bodied cab girl, but I enjoyed these wines. I'm not big on white. I typically only drink sauvignon blancs if I'm sharing a bottle of white with someone. (I like that sauvignon blancs are typically crisp and dry.) The whites here were pretty good. They didn't remind me of the buttery chardonnays that I'm not into. The pinots were surprisingly bolder than I expected. Typically, I find pinots too light for my taste. I liked the moses hall one the best out of the four we tasted. My friends ended up buying 5 bottles, so our tastings were comped. I believe all the bottles were the 2013 Burnside Vineyard, Russian River Valley. I didn't enjoy this bottle as much as the Moses Hall, but I guess it was their last five, so my friends just grabbed them. The people guiding us through the tastings were so nice and sweet. We had a great time during the hour plus we were here. Great winery for pinots and chardonnays. One of the better tastings I've been to. Made up for the horrible tasting we had prior.

Great wine, both Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. A low key place with very nice people. Go there for the wine and not the glitz. Nice outdoor seating and a small inside area around a comfortable wine bar. We loved it.

So we went to the holiday wine soirée with our good friends. If you never been to this winery and you use Uber the direction will drop you off one driveway away, so just have driver pull out and it's like 50 yards away. Well we arrive and our greeted and got a glass as we arrived in winery. Very nice but the pour was a little light. Next was a beautiful fire place and a welcoming wine bar and lots of snacks, The quail legs were great, I really liked how they had the tasting so spread out and you could revisit the wines. This place has wines that are really great. The Pinot noir Are some of the best. I have been to other tastings at Patz and Hall and this winery can put on so great events like their lobster dinner. Really this place is a must visit winery in Sonoma. The hospitality was real. I will be back!

Beautiful place from the moment you drive through the driveway My niece is a member there and she made a reservation for us on the cover patio I am from the east coast and I frequent the Northern Virginia wineries which are beautiful and good but most of them are kids friendly This place is very elegant and the wine oh the time is divine, we were blessed to have Patrick who is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to share his knowledge with us I usually don't preferreds but I love everything Patrick poor in my glass that glorious day I love it so much I order to be delivered I drunk so much I gained few lbs but I am not complaining it was worth it

Love everything about this winery, reservation only, beautifully situated in a peaceful and charming lot. The tasting room is fairly new built, separate by each area for hosting different group. Over looking the vineyard, you got to go outside on a good day to enjoy the nice weather while sipping the delicious Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, whichever suits your palate. Great host and service while we were here, our host took the time to go over the history of the winery, the wine making and the appellation where the wines are grown. It was very informative and it helps us to appreciate what a labor of love coming to the bottle. Tasty wines, small production, true the terroir, so if you are up in Sonoma County, it's a lovely place the visit.

I absolutely love this winery. Every time I go the staff is EXTREMELY friendly and knowledgeable. This particular time Michelle helped us and she was wonderful. She made the wine experience not only enjoyable but personable. The venue is also serene and peaceful. It's a little slice of heaven. Highly recommend! Not to mention the wine is absolutely delicious!

I have to say Patz & Hall is a real class act! I had a reservation on a Saturday in August for a small family group for a late afternoon tasting. The air quality had deteriorated throughout the day due to nearby fires, and by the time our 3pm reservations rolled around the air quality in Sonoma was so bad that P&H was closing for the day for the safety of guests and employees alike. The tasting room manager, Patrick, realizing that we'd driven from out of town and had our hearts set on tasting the P&H wines, packed up a gift box of a few of the wines for tasting once we reached our safe destination. In an effort to please guests and ensure the safety of everyone they gave us bottles to taste on our own as well as tasting notes to go along with them. I have never experienced any service before that has met that level of sophistication. I'm blown away and impressed. The wines, you ask? OMG we loved them! For the Chardonnays I was definitely more a fan of the less oaky/creamy, more bright fruit flavors of the Hyde Vineyard Chard. For Pinots... I tasted them all multiple times and still couldn't pick a favorite. They were all so stunning! Bottom line, I have to recommend P&H for being quality wine and quality people. Thank you!

LOVE is the first word when I think of Patz & Hall. I was a club member for a few years - and actually sold them in the city about 10 years ago. You cannot go wrong with any of their wines - seriously, one of my all-time favorite wineries. Also, the people that have created this brand and these wines are great people. Ann is the BEST!! If you haven't had it - try it, buy some, it's delicious!!

This winery was recommended to us by a sister winery and oh boy were we in for a treat. This winery is known for Chardonnay and Pinot noirs. Pinot noir is my absolute favorite type of wine. So this was definitely a little gem we found! They also have champagne or sparkling as they call it if your a champagne drinker. The pinots were phenomenal and the Brit rose champagne was absolutely fantastic I even bought a bottle to take home! If your in the area stop by here the wine attendants are great and it's a beautiful winery! With delicious wines!

We visited soon after the fires that hit Napa and Sonoma, which came quite close to this wonderful winery, but did not damage it. We opted for the food and wine pairing and we were not disappointed. The five appetizer bites were prepared by a local caterer and they were delicious. We tasted 4 chardonnays and 3 pinot noirs, which are the only two varieties that this winery produces, in a private tasting room with a wonderful hostess who was quite knowledgeable about the wines. The wines were Devine and paired wonderfully with the appetizers. We would highly recommend this winery if you love Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. Make a reservation for the food and wine pairing. It is well worth it.

Beautiful. Complex, interesting, and tasty wines. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Pricey although worth splurging for a treat.

Really good tastings of chardonnay and pinot noir. You get a wine educator with your appointment onto experience, which makes the time much better. No crowds at all. The staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly.

One of the most gorgeous estates in Sonoma County, my friends and I were all beyond impressed with our tasting experience! I made an appointment in advance for "The Salon Experience" held in the Sonoma House and it was everything I'd expected yet that much more. Our wine educator, Kathy, did a particularly wonderful job of taking care of us from start to finish and it was such a pleasure getting to know her story as well. We began in the outdoor patio with some crazy low-production bubbly that was pretty darn delightful and paired perfectly with the lovely view of the surrounding vineyards. In the Sonoma House, we were seated with a selection of 6 vineyard designated chardonnays and pinot noirs - each possessed much depth and very characteristic qualities that easily differentiated them from one another. Patz & Hall currently has contracts with 23 different vineyards and the search for new ones is apparently an ongoing one, lending to immense variety and numerous opportunities to explore the unique terroir of such sites. Overall, a truly amazing find in Sonoma wine country and one I'll be back to again and again.

I must first give credit to Dan, who led us through our wine flights, as he truly made the experience at Patz & Hall very memorable for my family and I. Dan was so thorough in describing the four different wines we tasted at the winery, as well as very personable throughout the whole experience. As for the wines and the winery - the wines were truly delicious and the winery was stunning. We tasted 2 different pinot noirs and 2 chardonnays, which are not typically my favorite wines, however they were incredible. I walked away with several bottles which is a hard thing to get me to do, as I tend to be selective on what I bring home. My fiancé and I are already looking forward to our next visit up and potentially becoming a wine club member.

Tasty tasting!!! Michelle is very friendly and knowledgeable on all of their wines. All around great experience!

Patz and Hall was absolutely amazing. We are in Sonoma celebrating our honeymoon! The tasting was personal and timeless. The grounds were picturesque and romantic. Our host Megan was incredibly bubbly, polite, knowledgeable and friendly! The wines themselves were exquisite and complex yet they kept the traditional style of a California Pinot and Chardonnay! I've been tasting wines for years and have had several trips through Italy, Spain, and Napa and this was just exquisite. Best customer service, best bang for your buck, best atmosphere, best everything. If you go to Sonoma you have to visit. I hate writing reviews but was so impressed I had to write!

Pretty corporate and staff is poorly informed. Wines were fine but the building was impersonal.

(I should qualify this review first by saying I am a wine industry vet and have worked in tasting rooms for years) I guess the best way to sum up the experience at Patz & Hall is that they just try too hard and take themselves too seriously. As other reviewers have noted, it is by appt only. Which is fine and common for the region. When you arrive they have a hostess who checks your name and will tell you that you are at table such-n-such and take you there. On that table is a sign that says "Reserved". Well, duh, I made a reservation, we all did. Aren't they all reserved? And even though they have an ample outside tasting area dogs are not allowed. Once we started on the tasting the wine educator started dropping names of vineyards, vineyard owners, other wineries that aren't around anymore, and different micro regions in Sonoma and Carneros. I thought he was doing this because he knew I was in the industry, but I overheard him with other guests and that is just the script. I had no idea who half these people were that he was mentioning. I asked some followup questions, but most guests would feel intimidated by all of this. Lastly, it just wasn't fun. I'm a pretty serious wine geek, but also like to have a good time. I mean, it's wine! I'm usually good with a 60/40 split of education/fun. But I've taken advanced somm classes that were more fun that my experience here.

This is a beautiful winery with delicious selection of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir! We visited for the first time on Saturday for a walk-in tasting. We were seated by Patrick who proceeded to provide an amazing tasting experience full of winery details and tasting recommendations. When we realized he was a fellow East-Bayer like us we hung around and shared stories of the latest restaurant closings and grocery store wait time (haha). Patrick was super friendly and clearly experienced. He made our visit fun, comfortable and personalized. We sat inside for our tasting and then walked along the outside grounds which are stunning! We will have to try an outdoor tasting on one of our future visits. Everyone working that day seemed to be in good spirits and it was an all around great atmosphere. Patrick recommended the 2016 Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir which we bought a bottle of. We finished it off last night so will definitely be back soon for more!

My 6 friends and I had the most delightful day at this gorgeous vineyard. Ameema (so sorry if I misspelled that) and Patrick were amazing!!! Both of them were incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Superb service and I can't wait to come back! Thank you for a delightful day.

Love Patz and Hall! They have delicious Pinots and absolutely beautiful grounds. Try to sit out on the back patio area where you're literally in a cut out section of their vineyard. Service was also great and really nice tasting room individuals.

What an amazing property! Beautiful views, multiple indoor/outdoor seating areas, amazing service... and of course fantastic Chardonnays and Pinot noirs. They're nestled along 8th street East just a couple minute drive from the Sonoma Plaza. Make sure to book your appointment in advance before you arrive!

High quality, fruity, bright pinots. Nice people in the tasting room. A bit pricey but distinctive.

What a remarkable treat of a winery. The best Pinot Noirs we have tasted. The staff are FABULOUS!!!! Patrick is the best and kindest funniest guide server you could want. Come and enjoy.

Some of the best chardonnays and pinots on the planet. Beautiful setting as well. Our wine educator was lovely. Gave great information without hovering. Wine sold itself. Very small production so you have to get the wine straight from them. Brought a bottle to Sante and the sommelier went nuts so I felt like I was "in the know". Strongly recommend getting off the beaten path and checking out this gem.

These guys do tasting right! Although you have to make an appointment (or get lucky and arrive when they've had canceled appointments), this totally changes the tasting experience. No elbow-to-elbow wine tasting and hapless, overwhelmed tasting room employees; your hosts at Patz and Hall actually know how many people will be sitting at the bar, so they can provide a educational, relaxed, and comfortable tasting experience for everybody. Oh yeah, and it helps that the Pinot is world class as well.

Staying at the Meritage Hotel? Want a quick'n' elegant getaway? (sidenote: I work next door to Patz and Hall so they are forced to tolerate/enjoy my presence...when mama needs a break from her cubie) Truffled cheese accompanies three single vineyard designated chardonnays. 100% malolactic fermentation. Pate accompanies three pinot noirs that are varying degree's of deliciousness.

Not nice people. They took our reservation for a tasting knowing we had two children but then canceled 15 minutes before. Apparently the woman who took our reservation did not know their policy of no kids on site, anywhere. Wasted a bunch of time and caused bad feelings.

The wine might be delicious, but the reception felt like the bitchy gatekeeper to the Emerald City crossed with a suburban model home tour. I recommend they steer away from the dental appointment vibe and extend a warmer Sonoma welcome to their patrons.

Oh my goodness, just experienced such an amazing tasting with Patrick! This is definitely a "must stop" if visiting a winery in Sonoma. Beautiful property, welcoming staff and amazing Chardonnays and Pinots. We did not try one bad wine.

I have, traditionally, not been drawn toward Chards and Pinots, but I am glad that recent tastings have opened me up to the reality that there is also a great diversity the way the two varietals are being produced, and there are, wonderful ones. The visit to Patz and Hall was upon the recommendation of a tasting staff at Buena Vista when my friend asked about a good place for Pinots. The Bootlegger Pinot was spectacular and I was so pleasantly surprised that I liked it so much. It was a lot more robust and complex than other Pinots I have tried and it is appropriately dubbed, "the Cab-lover's Pinot." The first Chardonnay we tried was also superb, particularly for the fact that it was so unique. It could, I believe, in a blind tasting, be mistaken as another white - perhaps a Sauvignon Blanc or even a Viognet. It bursts with floral and citrus aroma reminiscent of muscat, adding to its mischievous play on our senses regarding its identity. I am one of the few who admit that my taste buds are dramatically affected by my whole sensory experience, and this is a place where all senses work together in receiving a positive stimuli. The building boasts of clean, contemporary lines on its exterior and in its interior it sustains its modern style with the richness of contemporary (rotating) contemporary art and its very elegant tasting room, which is sleek, elegant, and encourages interaction amongst staff and tasters. Ross was a fantastic, knowledgeable, and very charming host. The owner, Heather Patz, also interacted with us and was so friendly and down-to-earth. I can't wait to return and take my sisters here.

Patz and Hall has outstanding wine, and a great tasting experience. Love sitting outside on their patio overlooking the vineyards and mountains and sipping great Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. I've been a wine club member for a few years. Great wines, great deals and friendly staff.

Had an amazing time at Patz & Hall last week. The wine was absolutely terrific. Our server, Patrick, was so helpful and insightful I feel like we learned so much about their wines. The Pisoni was incredibly. Can not recommend this place enough

Had a wonderful time here! The wine was a surprise and excellent. The person that helped us was super friendly and was very attentive. The outdoor patio overlooking the grape field and mountain couldn't have been better to add to the great atmosphere. Superb!!!

The team and Patz and Hall were AMAZING. We were late and they had our tasting ready for us. Patrick provides excellent service and even took some group pics for us. The wine was also amazing, in addition to the scenery. We will be back!!!

I had seen their wines on wine lists at restaurants before so we decided to stop by for some tasting at the Salon. They're located in an industrial center, not the most ideal location, but the inside is a cozy tasting room. Walk-ins are fine. We were the only ones there so we got to sit at the bar. The staff made us feel welcome and were very personable. My husband had tons of questions regarding the business side of wineries and they were honest and responsive. They specialize in Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs so we got to taste a variety. Their wines retail for $35-70. My favorites were: - 2009 Hyde Vineyard Pinot Noir - 2010 Alder Springs Chardonnay - 2010 Moses-Hall Pinot Noir They offered little bites of crackers and truffle almonds. The almonds were tasty! Since we had a Visa Signature card, we had complimentary tastings for 2 and 15% off purchases, which was a nice offer. We left with a bottle of the 2010 Moses-Hall Pinot Noir. Hope to go visit them again for some great Pinots!

Great winery!!! Love the Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs!!! Everyone is really friendly and the grounds are beautiful! Highly recommend this winery!
