We prefer to visit small and/or family owned vineyards to experience wines unavailable at home. Our wine consultant, Allie, was very knowledgeable about the wines produced by this small winery. She was very friendly and attentive. She did a good job of cross-promoting the sister winery, VJB, which led us to an great unexpected stop.

We visited Two Amigos last week. Bob was a great host and told us all about the history of the place and the wine. The tour was excellent along with the wine. I am not a huge wine drinker but the wines they have are amazing. We joined the wine club and look forward to having some great wines arrive in the mail before Thanksgiving.

At Benziger, we're about three things: family, great wine and healthy vineyards. For more than thirty years, we've farmed our ranch on Sonoma Mountain and searched Sonoma County for the most distinctive and expressive vineyards. Once found, we tend these sites using certified Biodynamic, organic and sustainable farming methods. The result is a portfolio of authentic and memorable wines. Our Partners Wine Tour will satisfy the palate of any wine enthusiast. This tour provides a behind-the-scenes look at our Biodynamic estate vineyard and wine caves and finishes with an exclusive wine tasting of estate wines.

Stopped here after hiking Jack London park. It's a lovely hilltop winery with pretty grounds, a tram tour, history lesson, and a big board with the family's recommendations for local must sees. We ended up shipping wine home after a tasting. The grounds are really nice with a big outdoor seating area.

Social distancing is in effect, the winery is beautifully well-kept, in a great location, absolutely clean, and the wine flight tasting is well worth experiencing. Friendly and knowledgeable staff assisted with wine and olive oil purchases, and there is a great option for signing up onto the culinary products membership. Also...If you like a good Port, ask for a tasting; the toffee undertone is damn sexy.
