Know your lines and don't bump into the furniture. -- Spencer Tracy I usually bump into the furniture ;-) We were strolling through the Plaza and saw this cute tasting room. Yelp reviews were excellent so we stumbled in (bumped?). One of the owners was pouring and even though it was a holiday weekend, no one else came in. It is a lovely space with interesting local art. The owner was lovely too, nice energy and enthusiasm for her story. They were pouring 3 wines, all were very good, balanced and at an excellent price point. The Pinot was our favorite. We had a bottle that night with fish, so fruity and delicious. Tasting fee comped with purchase. Highly recommend!! read more

We have been here 3-4 times now. Made an appointment to come in today, not realizing they are closed on Monday's, but we called to make an appointment. They gladly scheduled the appointment and made no mention that they were not open Mondays. We came in and realized they came in for us. I mean come on, talk about guest experience. First class all the way. We love their wines and their attention to detail, their dedication and love of organic grown grapes. Just fantastic! read more

Bump winery offers great wines at very good prices at their lovely tasting room in downtown Sonoma. The shop is inviting, well designed and is a family own business which deserves more attention and our support. Next time you are in Sonoma drop by for a tasting or a purchase of your favorite wines and gift items. Periodically, local artist's works are also on display. read more

Amazing experience! Geordie was a wonderful host who made us feel welcomed sharing family stories and the history behind their wine making endeavor. I enjoyed learning more about Sonoma, the families wine making process and appreciating this quaint community. As others have said the tasting room is very welcoming with a laid back feel and the wine was delicious! Don't pass this opportunity to speak with a real wine maker who is passionate for their products and the community they live in. read more

Great wine and huge pour. Definitely worth stopping in for a glass or 2 while enjoying the clean atmosphere

LOVED our tasting with owner, Mieko. She was so friendly and welcoming. Delicious organic Zinfandels and Pinot Noires here! Highly recommend for an unpretentious, friendly, and informative stop right off the Sonoma square. Thanks Mieko! read more

This place is a gem. The owner, who was pouring our wine, is awesome. The wines are really great. They own 2 acres in Sonoma and have a few wines made with these grapes, and some others with sourced grapes. They are organically grown and are fantastic. The highlight of this place is how down to earth the place is. Nothing pretentious about this tasting room, which is exactly what I love. If you get a chance stop on by. You won't regret it. read more

I'm glad my wife and I came here in the middle of the day for a tasting. We got to sit and talk to the owner the entire time. We are pretty seasoned wine enthusiasts and love when we get to talk about how each winemaker makes their wine stand out. She was more than happy to talk about their family history and how they got started. It was a very enjoyable experience. Oh yeah, the wine was great too! read more

We spent 4 days in Sonoma and this was one of my favorite tastings. We were they only ones in the place and felt like it was a private tasting. We learned about their wine making journey and found out that two of us went to the same college as Mieko...go CC Tigers! The wines were wonderful and obviously made with love and care. Can't wait to open my Pinot for Thanksgiving! If you are looking for a relaxing, welcoming place to try wonderful wine...Bump is your place. read more

Cute little tasting room by a family owned winery. Had the pleasure of meeting both husband and wife and hearing their story and their passion for great wine. Being a small family business everything they do is small batch which makes it all the more enjoyable. I can't wait to go back and taste what's available next time! read more

Fantastic, small batch family owner winery, the owner gave us a friendly and low-key tasting. Such a refreshing experience. If you're looking to avoid a corporate winery and hear from a family that makes this area their home, it's a must-taste :). read more

Geordie owns the place with his wife and it's honestly one of the relaxing and welcoming cellars in Sonoma. They have local artists featured every month and I'm surprised not more wine cellars don't do this. Art and wine just seem to blend perfectly together. When my boyfriend and I visited Bump, we just happened to stumble upon it based on where we parked. Geordie was the only person in there and gave us nothing less than a 5-star attentiveness, he explained his lifestory and was just a real and humble guy. A family man who works hard to provide for his family with his passion. Their selection is limited but they are a pretty new company so they're still expanding and experimenting on their wines. Their wines are decent, but have the potential and attitude to be great over time. Definitely coming back when I'm in the area to see what art and wine they have featured next. read more

I love this tasting room and make sure to visit every time I'm in Sonoma. The owners, Geordie and Mieko, are so welcoming and have created a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. The monthly art exhibits are really fun to see. The wines are delicious and have been a staple in our home ever since we first visited. read more

One of our favorites around here. We are locals and we love their wine! Great people as well. Nice and chill tasting experience. Typically there is some very interesting and local art on the walls as well. Wonderful small production wines. Nice acids, not overly concentrated etc. read more

Really great tasting room in Downtown Sonoma - $10 tasting and the winemaker himself was there. It was great getting to chat with him and learn more about his business. Always good to put a face with the wine and hear about it direct from the source! Loved the reds in the tasting - they were really flavorful and good! read more

Bump is a cute, well decorated and artistic wine tasting lounge in downtown Sonoma. Geordie, the gentleman who poured our tasting was unfailingly gracious and generously shared his passion for local wine and local art. His wine pours were generous as well, which he "warned" us about up front. Despite its subject matter (wine and art), Bump and Geordie are unpretentious and very welcoming. For example, Georgie offered us a (gratis) plate of bread and cheese from an art party they had hosted the evening before, to go along with our tasting. From the deep, cushy couches to the ambient electronica music playing in the background, Bump is a perfect place to relax with friends and drink some wonderful wine. Geordie explained where the grapes for each of the wines were grown (all local Sonoma farmers), as well as how and why the winemaker selected the particular grapes that went into each wine. Each of the wines we tasted was very well crafted, and we enjoyed everything we tasted. We ended up with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, which has a refreshing, bright character and crisp green apple and honey notes. From the excellent service, to the delightful wine and relaxing atmosphere, we highly recommend visiting Bump if you're in downtown Sonoma; you will not be disappointed! read more

Meiko was awesome and remarkably patient with our group who had already hit up a few tasting rooms. Geordie was super helpful in setting a reservation beforehand. Everyone had an amazing time at bump and on top of it, the wines were tasty and reasonably priced! We found a zin we actually liked and the syrah was a big hit. I'll definitely go back. read more

Geordie is always the gracious host. Wow! The Pinot and Zins are delicious and it great to hear directly from the farmer about his craft. His 5 acres in Sonoma are producing delicious Reds, keep it going!Highly recommended. read more

I loved the openness of the building and the different textures of the wall; it really helped to celebrate the artwork being depicted! It's a building that feels both lived in and fresh simultaneously. Everything from the long, split-wood dining table framed by 2 different sets of chairs to the lighting above feels warm and inviting. The owner the gallery is very personable and friendly and his wines are delicious. I enjoyed a glass of pinot noir last night while exploring the Sonoma Artwalk. read more

I like Bump. They make some big bold Zinfandel wines. A modern tasting room that has couches and tables to enjoy wine. Prices are reasonable compared to others. It is located on the square so you can easily find a great restaurant to eat at after you are done tasting. read more

Fantastic little place. Geordie (winemaker and owner) was friendly and informative. In our first time around, his wife was the only one around. She was very friendly and attentive as well! Great place to relax and enjoy some great wines (Chardonnay, Fortune, and Syrah were our favorites). Highly recommended! read more

Bump Wine Cellars - Tasting lounge/room - Wineries Near Me - Sonoma, California

There are dozens of choices when you are in Sonoma on the square to taste wine. Bump Wine Cellars is a great choice because it is not pretentious, it is accessible and it is comfortable. Plus, the wines are great. The tasting room is also a gallery for artists, and the works are fantastic. Geordie, the winemaker and owner, is often pouring as this is a lean operation. For $15, we sample four delicious wines - 2 reds and 2 whites. I would definitely go again and highly recommend it! read more

We brought our wedding guests here the day before our wedding in April for wine tasting and it was wonderful! Delicious wine, poured by Geordie himself, and such a cool, beautiful space! We were over the moon with our experience and can't wait to visit again. read more

After a vino-filled couple of days in Napa, we took the long way back to the airport, stopping in Sonoma and Santa Rosa before heading back to SJC. I was hesitant to take time away from our next stop (the Russian River Brewery--finally some beer on the trip!) but my mother-in-law wanted one last tasting, this time in Sonoma. And you do what your mother-in-law says. So we pulled into downtown Sonoma, and I was frantically looking for a tasting room, stat. I didn't even have time to check Yelp (because I was driving -- don't Yelp and drive!) but we parked and, by chance, walked into the Bump tasting room. What luck! Mieko, the owner, met us and described their wines and process--she and her husband buy grapes from friends and other producers and rent space in a warehouse to complete their small-batch runs. The tastings were amazing (and she could pour glasses). The Chardonnay was not overly buttery or oaked (they age in neutral barrels) and had a delightful rich yet refreshing characteristic. The zin was delicious, as well. Well balanced and not over the top. They have a small distribution, which includes my home state of Utah, so we'll be buying locally! An extra special plus is how affordable the wines are. 4+year aged reds still under $30 a bottle! Mieko was also willing to talk about her beautifully designed tasting room. From the exposed lathe on the wall to the recycled wood bar to the giant paper lantern to the couch with a fabric that anything could be wiped off of, she answered all my mother-in-law's questions. (Are you sensing a theme here?) It's a gorgeous place run by excellent people. So take a "Bump" off the beaten track, and stop by their tasting room! read more

My boyfriend & I stopped at Bump for our first stop on a romantic wine weekend-- and we were blown away. First of all, the proprietor was so welcoming & knowledgable. He clearly understands how to run a business. His wine was wonderful-- probably the best we had that weekend. We were there for about an hour & a half, and the place was packed-- but the service never faltered. As a bonus, the room was amazing-- the art is such an interesting touch. I would so highly recommend a visit to this tasting room. read more

This a great place with amazing wines and a friendly staff. This is family owned. Loved the wine and had a lovely afternoon. Mieko, one of the owners, spoke to us directly about the wine and the family. Will definitely go back!! read more

Stopped by here two months ago simply because the name was catchy and I wanted to see what it was all about. We walked in to find a nice living room type set up with great artwork for sale if wanted and a variety of good wines with generous pours. The owner was there and very friendly as well as a gentleman who had just started and sat and talked with us. I would definitely recommend coming here. read more

Very pleasant environment to sit and taste wine: on a couch versus a bar. Great wines. Knowledgeable proprietor. read more

Had a wonderful wine tasting experience with one of the owners, Geordie. Bought ourselves a beautiful Cab/Zin wine and a white for a friend. Highly recommended and will be back! read more

This past weekend, my boyfriend and I decided we were going to check out all that Sonoma had to offer. It was his birthday weekend so we were on the hunt for good food and good wine. We tried a few different tasting rooms and found ourselves at Bump. It was near closing time but Mieko graciously invited us in. She was very accomodating and kind. We appreciated the ambiance Bump had to offer. They are a smaller, family oriented business which produces a comfortable, humble atmosphere with great wine! Definitely worth checking out! read more

What an experience! I took a friend from out of town, and they treated us like GOLD. They sat us on the couch, gave us generous pours and chatted with us. We spent 1 hour on our 4 pours, and then we purchased some wine (I recommend their special white who's name is escaping me now). Anyway I will return. read more

For starters -- I don't drink. I came across this winery shortly after their opening, drawn in by the art show. Since then I've seen every art show (it changes monthly), I've bought a couple of pieces, and I've gotten to know Geordie and Mieko. They are such fine, friendly, warm people. I buy Bump wines for friends who do drink. They say the wines are very good indeed. In particular, the cab/zin blend is a hit. The tasting room is cozy with couches, chairs, and coffee tables. Good wine, good atmosphere, good art, great people. What more could you ask? read more

Adorable boutique family owned winery. The tasting was comfortable and intimate without having to make a reservation. We had the pleasure of learning how the wine got its name; the gentleman serving us said his mothers name is Betsy Bump! So he must be important around here ;) good wine and memorable experience. read more

Bump Wine Cellars - Wineries Near Me - Sonoma, California

Wonderful owners that are passionate about their craft. Throughly enjoyed our experience.

Great place for wine tasting, just off the square in Sonoma. We showed up with a group of six and were accommodated without an appointment with no issue. The wines were high quality, art enjoyable, and host knowledgeable and engaging. I would definitely return! read more

We stayed at a b & b just outside of the square and visited 4 tasting rooms around the square and 2 vineyards while in Sonoma. We followed Yelpers advice concerning which places to go (apart from a vineyard some locals told us about). Bump was our favorite from around the square with wine at about 1/2 to 2/3 the cost of the vineyard we enjoyed. The Bump owners are incredibly sweet and fun to chat with during the tasting as well. We left with several bottles that have been praised by all who tried it. If you only have time for 1 or 2 spots around the square, this place should be top of the list. read more

Have been a fan of Bump wine since the first vintage. Geordie and Mieko are super nice people who really care about the product they make, they way it's made, and the customers who buy it. Look forward to coming by the tasting room soon. read more

The wine is really really good! And the ambiance mellow and oh so inviting. We went next door to Frenchies and got some cheese and crackers and amazing prosciutto and drank wine and hung out for a couple of hours. So decadent so lovely. Perfect afternoon. Loved it. Thanks Mieko for the lovely environment. read more

Excellent tasting room. The atmosphere, conversation, art and the wine are all perfect. Will go back.

Wonderful experience tasting Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and Old Vine blends. Excellent artwork, super laid back atmosphere, and wonderful conversation with Mieko. Definitely worth your time to make a visit. read more
