If you are short on time and need to select only a few wine tastings/tours make Benzinger top of the list. We did the tractor tour and it was beautiful. Dr Bob was an excellent guide, extremely informative and entertaining. I love the ecological farming they are practicing there and the wine is great as well.

This winery gives you tour of the vineyards plus information on how the wine is made. For the price they also give you 4 tastings. Dr Bob took us on the trip around. I explained in the beginning I wanted to know how things were made, he took a little time in the beginning to go over some information. I don’t drink but find the wine making process very interesting. They were offering us a special on two bottles and we exchange one n still found it a good price.

We are from the Okanagan Valley, BC (Canada) and, while visiting the Sonoma/Napa valleys, we stopped at Benzinger Family Winery. Thank you, Patrick, for the excellent tasting experience today, July 8. We appreciated your depth of knowledge. Beautiful vineyard and lovely tasting room with some truly wonderful wines. Especially loved the La Reyna Pinot Noir and the West Rows Chardonnay, although I took home a bottle of the Frank Johnson Rose. It was a treat to meet winemaker Lisa Amaroli and chat about vines and wine. Highly recommend visiting Benzinger Family Winery.

We were a family of 6 (parents, grandparents, teenagers) and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of this winery. The grounds were beautiful. We took the tractor tour and learned a lot about their growing methods and it ended with a wine tasting. Our guide, David, did a great job of sharing the history and the workings of the winery. We enjoyed it very much and highly recommend this as a stop on your next visit to wine country.

We were lucky enough to have booked a tour when no one else was scheduled, getting essentially a private tour from Donna. She was very knowledgable on the grounds, the winery's history, the wine-making process, and the wines that we were served during the tasting at the end of the tour. It was wonderful to hear that she was an active member of Benziger's wine club who loves the winery so much that she now works there. The views from the vineyard were the best that we saw in Sonoma - great for pictures and to enjoy a morning with family. It was incredible to hear about the Benziger family's farming background. The wines were top-notch, as well. This was the only winery on our trip that we ordered a half of a case from.
