He originally picked us up in an Escalade but as we departed the first stop switched us to a Sprinter with complimentary Chandon. Brian was great for putting up with our drinking and loud music. After stop two he offered to pick up lunch to eat on our way to the last winery. We trusted he wouldn't let us down and just gave him some cash with enough to feed himself. The food he grabbed was great. Four different entrees and no one was disappointed. Service was fantastic, Brian was great, and we enjoyed talking with him and having a beer after our tour was over. He's a great guy and extremely professional. He even hooked us up with a ride and more Chandon as we ventured out a couple days later to the second half of our trip to SF. I'd highly recommend Brian and his company.

One of the largest collections of delicious wine and libations from all over, we had a tasting flight and some additional glasses as we munched on some delicious smoked mussels and bread before our next boozy adventure.

Notre Vue is one of those places that makes you fall in love with wine country all over again. The…read moreviews are honestly some of the best you'll find anywhere, endless vineyards, rolling hills, and a peaceful beauty that's hard to beat. It's the kind of scenery you could sit with for hours and never get tired of. What really sets Notre Vue apart, though, is the people. The owner and staff make you feel like family from the moment you arrive. They are welcoming, kind, and truly passionate about sharing their space. On top of the incredible wine, they have so much to offer, from beautiful tasting areas to a relaxed, thoughtful experience that feels both special and comfortable. A true gem in Sonoma County and always worth the visit.

I have visited this winery on several occasions & have always been pleased with the beautiful…read moreproperly. Through April 19 this winery is offering a complementary tasting for 2 so we took advantage of it as my friend had never been there. I was happy that we were able to bring in a few little snacks of our own. Someone wineries do not allow that. Jen was our server and was quite hospitable- she allowed my friend and I to choose where we'd like to sit and thank goodness there's a big canopy because rain was threatening any moment. We ended up tasting about six wines, which I thought was impressive. Both of our favorites were the Brut bubbles and the Zinfandel from Russian River Valley. The views are spectacular from here. I've only been in the summer before, so we sat outside on the deck overlooking the property. The bathrooms are close by and quite clean. As there's been a lot of rain lately, the mile .4 drive up to the top of the wine tasting area was extremely muddy. However, I didn't realize how muddy until we sat down and noticed mud on our pants I suppose from getting out of my car. When I arrived home, I could not believe how much mud was on the side of my car, my tires & my wheel wells. Perhaps the owners could put some more gravel down? I do know that I wouldn't drive up this road in the future after it's been rainy. But all in all a delightful experience. In the past, I've used the hiking trails, which are really nice. However, you need to be a club member to do so and I was with someone who belonged to their wine club. As we've had rain on and off the last few days. I expected some mud but I will say the 1.4 mile drive to the top of the winery was extremely muddy. We didn't notice until we sat down that we had mud on our pants.

I paid for a tasting and enjoyed a flight of white wines. They were all very good. I definitely took some home with me.

They even served a little charcuterie board with some cheeses, which was great.

Even the drive through the trees feels enchanted. David was the best. He took us on a journey and you could tell he knew his stuff. We also had a chance to meet one of the owners which was a nice bonus. The experience itself is intimate because you're with multiple people at your table but you get to experience it together. The food pairings were also delicious. Ok wine time. This was THE best Gewürztraminer I've ever had. Like, you could have a bottle of this easily on your own. We even took a few home to try with Indian food, and it was delicious. Another hit was their Zin which was interestingly like a strawberry rose but again, very easy and tasteful to drink. I cannot wait to go back because I need more of that Gewürztraminer!

The vehicle we were in was clean and he provided us with tidbits of information about the area along the way as we went to the various wineries.
