Enjoyed Uncle Bobs charm, a lot better options than the exported Zuma into Europe from them, wished they would risk the more premium labels. More

Rent bikes from one of the City of Sonoma bike shops, buy lunch at whole Foods or Sonoma Market & bike out to Ravenswood. It's an easy ride through mostly nice country once you leave the town. It has very good wine & the people in the tasting room are fun.There is a nice area outside to picnic while viewing... More

Visited the winery because I like their zinfandel wines (readily available throughout the country) and for the tour. The tour was the highlight of my trip to wine country! Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable on every aspect of wine making from viniculture to fermentation. I couldn't have asked for a better tour, we received a great overview and... More

My husband and I visited Ravenswood Winery today and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The wine tasting experience was relaxed and we spent some time afterwards walking the grounds and enjoying the view. I really enjoy their Zinfandel so it was great to see where it originates! More

This winery is a little of a drive outside of Sonoma proper but it's worth it! They feature mostly reds but also have a fantastic muscato. More

I loved, loved, loved this winery. It was beautifully landscaped and decorated. The best I can describe it is rock 'n' roll with zen. The owner/operator was an extremely nice guy and I can not believe I do not remember his name. It was my husband's buurrrfday so the gentleman gave us several tastings beyond what was the usual line... More

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Not too busy and the staff was incredibly friendly. There was no rush to finish the tasting - completely at the patron's pace. Absolutely loved the wines (most are only available at the winery or through the wine club). The moscato is a MUST (if you are a fan of dessert wines). More
