    Classic tasting flight as of May 2026
    Leslie O.

    Since ownership turned over there is even better energy here! They will be brings by back their olive oils and vinegars in the next year. The wine selection was more diverse than most places but I have to admit, most all of our tasting was a hit out of the park. Very drinkable wines, very smooth in a location piping through old classics on the sound system creating a great vibe amongst the tables and vines. Service was top notch. Everyone was so kind, welcoming and interested in sharing the history of their wine (and wine history too)! Will definitely keep them as a must visit on the next visit. Thank you for a memory making kind of experience!

    My boyfriend loved it!

    My boyfriend and I went to this vineyard for a last minute birthday trip, and the server we had Christina was absolutely amazing!! She was super attentive and friendly. The charcuterie board and selection of wines we were offered were incredible. The view was amazing as well! I would definitely recommend this place to people and will be returning soon!

    We visited during the winter, and yet this property is still stunning. The rolling hills are right in their backyard with vines galore. We had an impromptu visit on a Sunday without a reservation. The woman who greeted us was very kind and helped us pick a glass of wine based on what we liked. They were busy so we opted to not do a tasting, which was the perfect decision because we were able to leisurely stroll through the property and enjoy the views. We enjoyed the wine and took some great photos. We'd definitely recommend Cohn!

    We stopped in here on the wine trolley tour - visually it's so stunning and a unique modern feel for the area. The vineyards was gorgeous and all the grounds were just fantastic, with a ton of little alcoves to hang out in. Our tasting was decent- our host did forget to give us a pour until we had to walk up and remind her, and we weren't married to any of the wines in the tasting. Our two favorite wines were actually the rose and the chardonnay that were not included in the tasting. I like the music aspect of this spot as it was something unique and I saw them setting up live music as we were heading out (along with a food truck). We got some chocolates for sale ($20 for 5 pieces, ouch) but they were quite tasty.

    Where Wine Meets Rock 'n Roll and the Grapevines Sing Back! We were heading north out of Sonoma, feeling the last golden rays of wine country on our skin and not quite ready to say goodbye. So we did what any classy, last-minute, sun-chasing duo would do, we turned to ChatGPT and asked, "Where's the winery with the best views on Sonoma Highway?" That divine intervention steered us straight to B.R. Cohn Winery, and friends, we hit the jackpot. Pulling in, we saw several tour buses lined up like a backstage pass line for a sold-out show and thought, "Uh-oh, this might be chaos" and the front of the property didn't give away much in the way of views. The large group was funneled into their own dedicated area, tucked away like a VIP section at a festival. And behind the buildings? That's where the magic cranked up to eleven. Vineyards. Hills. Trees swaying like backup dancers to a silent rhythm. Absolute wine-country stagecraft. Walking up to the front door, we were greeted by a towering metal guitar sculpture, and it gave the place full Graceland energy. As a lifelong Elvis fan, I felt instantly at home, like maybe the King himself had strolled through here with a glass of Cab and a hip swivel. No reservation needed. My adoring sidekick and I strolled in, were seated immediately, and kicked things off with the Classic Flight of four sensational wines: 2023 Pinot Gris - Peach and pear that played like a summer duet. 2022 Quatre Red Blend - Raspberry, strawberry, and clove in a harmony so smooth it could headline its own tour. 2021 Zinfandel - Bold notes of blackberry and plum with a spicy finale. The Zepplin of Zins. 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Olive Hill Estate) - Dark fruit, vanilla spice, and rock-star depth. This one brought the house down. Every pour was a hit. Every sip a standing ovation. At some point during the tasting we were "accidentally" served a glass of 2022 Malbec. It was so good, we left with a bottle to take home, our own encore performance waiting in the wings. Our server was a total pro; friendly, informative, and clearly vibing with the winery's musical heartbeat. She told us how Bruce Cohn, longtime manager of The Doobie Brothers, founded the winery in 1984, blending a legacy of music with a passion for winemaking. The place has hosted countless concerts over the years, and the walls are practically humming with the echoes of guitars and glasses clinking. After our tasting, we wandered the property (glass of wine in hand) like wide-eyed groupies on a backstage tour. The scenery? Spellbinding. The weather? Absolute perfection. My wife, who normally avoids outdoor seating in June like it's a Texas mosquito convention, was in her element, breeze in her hair, and not a bead of sweat in sight. We also spotted the small vehicle they use to zip guests around the grounds, like a mini roadie-mobile, but we ran out of time to schedule a ride. Next visit, we're all in. TL;DR: A winery with rhythm, roots, and rockstar wine. Tremendous Classic Flight. Graceland-style guitar sculpture. Views so good they're backstage-only. No reservation? No problem. A perfect final stop in Sonoma--and we're already planning our return tour.

    Beautiful entrance!

    Omg such a beautiful winery! Finishing up on all my reviews of our family trip to Sonoma and this was the second winery of the day that we visited! Upon walking up, they had a huge guitar, which I figured there had to be a story with that. We walked into the main lobby area and were taken out to the back patio area. We had a tasting set up and they put us in the back patio area under an umbrella. It was such a beautiful day and such a beautiful garden area. The woman who helped us was incredible! She told us the full story about the winery. The guitar out front was because of B.R. Cohn and his connection with the music industry. Apparently back in the day, they held a lot of concerts here. And even as you walk through the main building, we learned that was the house that he and his family lived in! How freaking cool is that. I love a good history sesh about places like this. It was so interesting! The main garden area was closed for a wedding, but we were able to sneak over to see it before it started and caught a glimpse of the bride getting some photos done! I could totally see why someone would get married here. It is absolutely a beautiful winery with incredible views! I would recommend this winery to anyone checking out wineries in Sonoma. Again, incredible service, great wine, and beautiful views! What more could you want!

    We had an amazing wine experience at B. R. Cohn. Our server Ainsley was an utter delight. She shared so much background info about the winery. All of the wines were soooo good. I'm not a fan of the bubbly but their blanc de noir sparkling wine was amazing! Their reds were stellar, a Malbec, burgundy blend and cab Sauv were top notch. Ainsley took us on a walk the through the vineyards. What a top notch wine tasting excellent!

    Lovely winery that's a bit further out in glen ellen but worth the trip! It's on a beautiful large property with olive trees and open spaces with lots of tables. We came in the morning where there were some tables filled already but we got a whole picnic table to ourselves with our two dogs who sprawled out. The wine tasting was lovely but the ambiance helped. 4/5 for the wines for me but overall experience was 5/5

    Came here for a wedding and it was so gorgeous! amazing views of the winery, loved the layout of the event space. we didn't get to see inside the tasting room but the grounds were stunning. we were worried about the parking for such a big event as it is limited. and they were able to partner with Girl and the Fig for the food service which we loved!

    Our first shipment as members of the Gourmet Olive Oil & Vinegar Club!

    B.R. Cohn rocks! This was our second time attending the Sonoma Harvest Music Festival (first time was 2019), and not only is this a beautiful winery surrounded by stunning vineyards, but they're also an amazing venue for live music! Inside the tasting room, the walls are covered with concert photos and past music festival posters. It's clear that the owners love their rock 'n' roll and live music! Music & wine do make a sweet pairing if I do say so myself! While at the festival, we got to partake in a little olive oil & vinegar tasting in their olive oil shop. This winery also produces delectable olive oils and vinegars (make sure to pay attention to all the beautiful olive trees on the property too!). Shout out to José who was so friendly, welcoming and answered all our olive oil questions! Thank you José! We were so impressed by our tasting, we went back a second time mid-festival, then decided to sign up for their Gourmet Olive Oil & Vinegar Club! We loved their California Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Meyer Lemon Olive Oil. Oh, and don't get me started on their 25 year Balsamic Vinegar from Modena, Italy! My Italian husband was beyond happy, and those were pretty much what sold us on joining the club! If you're headed to Sonoma or are already there, definitely make this one of your stops! We literally can't wait to return again to do some wine tasting, and of course rock out at Sonoma Harvest Music Festival!

    This was the most beautiful winery I've ever been to! We came as part of a wine tasting tour and had a lot of fun exploring the grounds and learning about all of the different wines. It was interesting history lesson as well!

    STUNNING PROPERTY! The vineyards alone are absolutely gorgeous in themselves. But anywhere else you go on property is equally as beautiful. The wines are so good- very well made reds! I enjoyed our tasting that we got here with the Sonoma Wine Trolley. I thought our sommeliers were passionate about where they work and the wine they represent, which was awesome. There was also a cool history intertwined with music. They also have olive oils too from what I remember! Definitely check out this awesome gem in Sonoma!

Our server, Patrick, was personable, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond. He gave us a great understanding of the history of the family winery as well as the nuances of the various wines. He never made us feel rushed, and we enjoyed sitting outside, taking in the beautiful views--and watching the tractor tours pass by--while we tasted. Patrick even shared side-by-side trios of Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons to highlight differences in winemaking methods, vineyard sites, and soils, which made for a particularly interesting and educational tasting experience. In fact, it was every bit as informative and enjoyable as other tasting experiences we've had that were far more expensive, more formal, and required advance reservations.    The tasting room also features a wonderful selection of gifts and specialty items. By the end of our visit, we left with three bottles of wine (2025 Frank Johnson Sauv Blanc and two 2022 Three Blocks Cab Sauvs) along with several gifts and mementos. Benziger has a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere and is both kid and pet-friendly. We also stopped by their sister winery, Imagery, afterward and found it to be another Sonoma gem. We wouldn't hesitate to return to either.

Our first two stops were Loxton Cellars and Mayo Family Winery. Lasseter, Loxton, and Mayo are all located in Glen Ellen. I enjoyed our wine tasting experiences at all three places. Lasseter Family Winery was by far the most different of the three because it was the biggest, most modern and "luxurious," backed by the most money, and it felt the most corporate/commercialized. Lasseter Family Winery is owned by John and Nancy Lasseter. John is known for being a former executive at Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios, and the director of popular animated movies like Toy Story (1995), A Bug's Life (1998), and Cars (2006). In this sense, the Lasseter Family Winery reminds me of another Sonoma County winery, Francis Ford Coppola Winery in Geyersville. It's cool, but as my friends and I discussed during our visit here, these types of wineries struck us as when rich guys get enough money to open their own winery "for fun." The other wineries, Loxton in particular, are much smaller "mom and pop" businesses. They're more genuine labors of love. This one, and others like it, feel completely different. I think one of the guys in our group liked Lasseter the best. He bought several bottles. My favorite from this particular tour was Loxton, but Lasseter was good too. I liked Lasseter better than Mayo. We visited Lasseter on an ordinary Friday around 2:30pm and stayed for about two hours, maybe a little longer. It wasn't very busy during our stay. Alex was our guide and he was great. He explained everything well and had a good sense of humor. In terms of presentation and details (e.g., tasting sheet, menu, order form), Lasseter was among the best I've seen. High-quality materials, well-designed, etc. Our tasting menu was customized and printed just for our group of six. Here's what we had (all Sonoma Valley estate wines, priced per 750 mL): * 2021 Enjoue ($35) * 2020 Voila ($55) * 2016 Chemin de Fer ($56) * 2016 Paysage ($62) * 2015 Amoureux ($64) Our order form had seven additional wines including a couple non-estate wines (12 total). Along with the five listed above, Alex brought one or two extra wines for us to try. By this point in the day, I was 17+ wine tastings in and don't remember much. I'm a lightweight and not a wine connoisseur, but I do like wine, especially with a nice meal. I don't recall any one of Lasseter's wines standing out from the others. I just remember each one tasted high-quality and delicious. We ordered some cheese and charcuterie boards to go with our tasting and they were tasty as well. Something else we thought was neat was the wine label artwork by Dennis Ziemienski. His designs are fun and colorful. His paintings were on display inside the main building and there was merchandise featuring his artwork that was available for purchase. When we visited, the weather was perfect (sunny and in the 60s) and the grounds and facilities were beautiful. Really nice. We walked around a bit, but weren't able to get far as the road heading south from the main building was closed off. The cost for the tasting at Lasseter was $40 per person (double the rates at both Loxton and Mayo) and each cheese tray was $25.
