Furthermore Wines is a must-visit if you're interested in exploring California Pinot Noir. The cross-section of Pinot Noirs from different vineyards across California is a truly unique experience. We hadn't visited in several years, and we were pleasantly surprised by the significant jump in the quality of the wines. It's exciting to see how much they've evolved. We're already looking forward to bringing our friends here the next time they're in town. If you're a fan of California Pinot Noir, this is definitely a place you should stop. read more

My first time to their location in Sebastopol. I typically go to the one in Healdsburg and enjoy that location quite a bit. I always come to listen to music- specifically jazz, which they feature quite a bit. The outdoor setting at this location is very nice. I could see it conducive for events or group reservations. I came with a friend to hear the music and there's plenty of seating. There's a huge redwood tree near the table which offers shade and there are also umbrellas in the sunnier locations. They were making pizza in their own pizza oven today- however for a 10 inch pizza I thought $22 was a little bit much. There are definitely a nice variety of Pinot's offered. However, I was in the mood for something chilled and I opted for their Rose of Pinot. I was pleased with the size of the pour but not sure I would order that variety again. I do appreciate that you can bring your own snacks there read more

All right, I'm a little obsessed with Furthermore Wines. Our group of 8 had an AMAZING experience here. Dave was our host, and he was so knowledgeable, so personable, and so fun. He took excellent care of us and truly spoiled our group at our tasting. We did a small tour on the grounds and learned a lot about their process and the pinot noir process in general. We all loved the wines so much that everyone bought at least 1 bottle, and two of us signed up for their wine club. In fact, we had such a good time, that our group came BACK to share a bottle of wine in between our reservations. Dave took care of us and we were happy to spend some more time with him. It is such a great place -- the wine is incredible, service is excellent, views are gorgeous, and you feel you are right where you belong. Cheers! read more

The Pinot Noirs are quite tasty and their grounds are lovely, but what Furthermore lacks is genuine customer service. Been here twice so far; once with a friend and once by myself but both times have been during wine a tasting event weekend. In both instances, there was little to no information provided about the wines being poured. Also, I noticed that when I've sat outside, they didn't have anyone coming out to pour the wines. Maybe because I came during an event tasting?! I had to get up and walk back to the tasting room to get my next pour. There was one lady who was servicing a large group outside, but that was it. The pours have also been very small compared to the other wineries that I frequent in the area. They have a beautiful back patio space that's set amongst the trees. There's also a large bocce ball court, several picnic tables, and Adirondack chairs surrounding it. It's fun to watch people play bocce ball while sipping on their wines. Speaking of their wines; their Pinots are where they truly shine and it makes sense since this is what they're known for. They have a very diverse lineup of Pinot Noirs that are made with grapes from several different wine regions. If you're a Pinot lover, you'll be sure to find a Pinot that you like. I feel like Furthermore is geared toward friends and groups who just want to chill out, relax, and drink wine while socializing with each other. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that of course. But for someone like me who enjoys learning about the wine and the history of the winery, it makes me feel like something is missing when wine is poured without any sort of explanation or engagement from the pourer. I feel like I can go to any old wine bar for that kind of experience. I also should reiterate that I did come here both times during an event tasting weekend, so maybe that's why things were different (although I didn't have this issue with any of the other wineries that I went to). Either way, their Pinots are great and I would still like to give them another chance at some point. Planning to visit them again sometime during a non-event weekend and hoping that the service will be better during that time. read more

Furthermore winery was amazing for a family with little kids. Walk ins welcome. No reservations needed. Kid friendly. They even gave our kids monster trucks to play with. Bocce ball and plenty of space to run around. You can bring your own snacks/food in to enjoy with your wine. The server was so attentive and personable. A great experience. read more

Attended a Sunday free music event on the patio. Performers were a duo who played and sang a variety of songs mostly in the style of Brazilian bossa nova. Patio area is in tree covered semi-shade and and has a few umbrellas. There are tables for two, four, eight gatherings. We bought 4 glasses of wine to sample a diverse tasting. Furthermore has a long list of different pinot noirs. We also drank the rose and chardonnay. Wine is so tasty that I joined the wine club. Average bottle price is around $50. Serving staff were all friendly, informative and helpful. The summer music series runs through September, check the website calendar. I plan to attend some more musical events. 5 stars! read more

Spent a lovely Friday afternoon with my husband, sister and brother-in-law at Furthermore for a picnic and wine tasting while enjoying music from solo artist, Adam Lieb. Adam kept the crowd engaged by playing everyone's request. Our wine was presented, explained and delivered by David who was most knowledgeable and very friendly. We mainly enjoyed the tasty Pinot Noirs. This was my first time at the winery and upon further review I see that there are quite a few live artists performing throughout the month. I'd highly recommend a visit to this winery or even give their Healdsburg location a visit. read more

Most of the wines were really good! The service was fun. Reef kept things entertaining with his witty nature. Unfortunately it was raining so we were inside. The outside grounds look so pretty with red wood trees and wisteria. read more

We joined our neighbors for a fun afternoon at Furthermore, taking advantage of their membership. We shared a wonderful spread, tasted some wines, shared a bottle and played some Bocce while a talented blues/lounge singer tickled the ivories and sang. The tasting pours were a little short but the Pinot we bought was very good. They have a nice outdoor space and staff are friendly. read more

This was our final stop at our one full day in Sonoma. It was a cute place right off the road. It wasn't super busy with just a couple other parties there but their outdoor tasting area was very cute and made for a nice respite from the day. Everyone was really nice and definitely gave us our space to taste the wines. There was one in particular where she gave us another vintage of the wine on the list - their award winner, she said. It was a nice experience and we ended up buying a bottle of the award winner. Loved the vibe here + the giant tree. This would be a recommend from me. read more

i was a member of their wine club in the past but i cancelled because it offers no benefits...for example I reserved a table well in advance at an event they advertised with music and food but. when we showed up on time, they did not have a table for us as any non members and people with no reservations were free to just come and sit wherever. Their wine is expensive and not the best quality and as there are many other options I will no longer be a customer. read more

They were an OK winery and wine tasting experience. The tasting area outside is nice with a big bocce ball court and a bunch of tables around a huge tree and up against the vines. However the service was a bit spotty (I got sparkling wine spilled on me at the second pour of the tasting!) and the wines themselves weren't as interesting as other local wineries we've been too (but were just as expensive). read more

I was taken here today for wine tasting , I'm not local I'm from Miami Florida, you sit outside which is ok because it ls beautiful outside. We were treated by Yanet the sweetest ever she attended to us any questions she answered and she's from Miami as well I'd return just to chat with her we did wine tasting the wines were exceptional! I left with 5 bottles because they were very good wines !! read more

Furthermore wines is a smaller boutique vineyard in the Sebastopol area. We had such a great experience! We had our tasting in the little courtyard area and got a great variety of wines to try. Pinot noir is my favorite type of wine and all of the pinots we tried were delicious. Our host, Alex, was very knowledgeable about the wines, vineyard, and was a wonderful guide throughout our experience. We were able to ship a few bottles of wine home to PA as well! I definitely recommend stopping by and supporting Furthermore wines if you are in the area! read more

Furthermore wines checks all the boxes for me: great, drinkable Pinots, and a wonderful ambiance both inside and out. The staff are like a family, passionate and knowledgeable about their wine.

Thinking of visiting Furthermore Wines? Do yourself a favor and go for a HELL YES! Why? 1. The wines. Um, delicious. The pinots: WHAT?? One great wine after another. Particular fondness for the 2016 Alchemy and the 2019 RRV pinots. But not a single wine disappointed. Four anti-Chardonnay people fell in love with theirs. We were like, "What is happening in our mouths?" 2. Setting. Lovely. You're close to the road but would never know it. Set under an enormous Sequoia, surrounded by overloaded citrus trees (they'll give you some lemons!), the casual outdoor setting was perfect for a sunny day. Dogs welcome although we left ours at home. Next time! 3. Service. Could there BE lovelier people to take you on this journey of flavors? NOPE. Clara was exceptional - warm, knowledgeable, joyful in her service to us. We were so delighted with the experience, we joined the club. More Furthermore wines, please!! read more

I loved my stop at Furthermore Wines. The venue is absolutely beautiful with the vineyards and then a nice open space with picnic tables and chairs. The day I went there were live bands playing and everyone was hanging out in the outdoor space, as well as food trucks offering what looked like incredible food (although I didn't have any). I had the tasting flight and every wine I had was fabulous. What made the experience for me however was the service. I believe the guy serving me was named Greg and he was so friendly and knowledgeable and even started giving me some wines off the menu to taste based on what I was responding to. I will happily venture back to Furthermore anytime I'm in the area. read more

We really enjoyed our visit in the shade under the big tree on a lovely day. Matt was friendly and informative during our tasting. The wines were very nice and we took several home. I learned about Furthermore in an e-newsletter listing of child-friendly wineries. They welcome dogs, too. The whole staff was friendly and seemed happy to be working there. We look forward to returning when in the area again. read more

We stopped here driving through to Healdsburg. We were pleasantly surprised and will definitely will be back. They have the most amazing wines in a truly picturesque setting. Alex was a perfect host and very knowledgeable of the wines and area. read more

Pinot! Pinot! Pinot! I kind of wish that's all this review would be but there's more to say. First the outside area is super fun with bocce and bag toss. They are kid friendly with area to run around and enjoy the huge trees and vineyards. The couple who was pouring were knowledgeable and friendly (thanks Pat!). Ok, the good stuff, the wine. Chard was good, not too oak-y but they specialize in Pinot and you can tell. Tried 5 and all were different showcasing what Pinot can bring from the nose to the finish and everywhere in between. That alone would be 5 stars. But wait, there's more! Do not skip the rosé which for me was the stand out favorite. read more

Awesome time here today with my family. This was described to me by someone in the wine industry as a boutique winery. By comparison to other wineries in the area, it is rather small. The winery sits on only about 5 acres of land. It is a small operation but the wine was awesome. Alex served us. Alex was very friendly and knowledgeable about all of the wines. The atmosphere was extremely casual and relaxing. We had a perfect day! Definitely not a spot to miss when you are in the area. read more

Furthermore Wines - Welcome sign outside of the winery. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Sebastopol, California

Some of the best pinots California has to offer, amazing owners and staff, beautiful grounds with live music, picnic tables, bocce court, and approachable prices...what else do you need? If you love Pinot Noir this is a must stop, Chad and Furthermore source pinots from across California and it's incredible to taste the differences that each region brings. Sonoma Coast is quite different than Santa Barbara for example, and even other parts of Sonoma that are more inland. They also happen to make a fantastic Pinot rose and their Chardonnay renewed my belief in the varietal. Back to the grounds, it's not overly fancy and that's why I love it. It's family friendly, great for groups, and they're taking COVID seriously as well. I cannot wait until this damn pandemic is over so we can get back to truly enjoying everything FUrthermore has to offer. Get yourself out to Sebastopol and make sure they're one of your stops! read more

Zero cell service - but if you can make it work - be sure and get the 5% off Yelp discount on purchases. (Sounds like the Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppleman, might be friends with one of the owners). I really liked the apple based dessert wine. read more

Came in on a rare rainy day and we were immediately welcomed inside, even when they kindly brought our dog a full water bowl and he...immediately stepped in it and spilled it everywhere This place was definitely the most casual, approachable and cozy of the wineries we visited. Left with a bottle of chardonnay and a bottle of pinot, but everything we tasted was really good. Wish we could have been here on a sunny day to enjoy the garden and bocce court. Next time! read more

While my wife & I were Vacationing from SoCal. We Purchased a Groupon to sample some Wines & Some how got wrong directions that led us here. They were closed, To our Surprise the Owners Arthur & Lulu happen to be outside. They Graciously offered to have their employee Steve drive us to their other Establishment at the Oxbow. We were treated to flights of Premium Delicious alcohol. Without us knowing they instructed the barkeep to give us a Complimentary bottle of our choosing. They had no idea we were celebrating our 29th year Anniversary. Thank you Arthur and Lulu. May you two be Blessed and your businesses continue to prosper. read more

Small sips and not overly friendly.They didn't really explain wines and testing selection.

Super cool winery off Hwy 116 with a great and happy staff! You are encouraged to bring a picnic and play bocce ball plus...bring your dog along too!

I'm not a drinker. I will say that again. But my friends would not let me leave without letting me taste the sole reason we came here for. At the Matrix winery, one of the wine pourers could not stop raving about something called an "Apple Port." After much persuasion, my gf put the wine glass to my lips and I hesitantly took the tiniest sip of this much hyped Apple Port. Can you say Wow? It's like they took the essence of an apple and turned it into the most sophisticated taste in wine. It was sweet but not overly so and i could just imagine doing a reduction sauce (ahem I've only seen this on the Food Chanel) and pouring it over some vanilla ice cream, bread pudding, and even apple pie ala mode! For a non wine drinker, I highly recommend this place just for the Apple Port. Since I tasted this, I was also convinced to try a small sip of the Zinfandel Port. Can you say smooth? These two wines alone *almost* convinced me to become a wino. Yup, almost. If you haven't been here, GO. read more

We had such a great time! I had won a Tour and Tasting at a fundraiser to Graton Ridge. So off we went on a Sunday morning to go wine tasting. We were met by the tasting room manager, Pat and another very nice lady. We tasted wine and then Pat took us on a quick little tour to the vineyards, Bocce Ball and picnic area and then over to the barrel room. The tour was informative and interested. We even got to taste some wines right out of the barrel. Then back to the tasting room for more wine tasting and a few parings with blue cheese and chocolate. It was such a great day. The winery is small and they have a small production. But boy what they do they do right!I loved the Chardonnay (which I don't favor). We can't wait to go back with a picnic lunch just to hang out with Pat for the day with a bottle or two of wine. read more

I have been a wine club member here because I particularly like their Pinot's. Stopped by today to pick up some futures with a couple gal friends. Just wanted to give a shout out to Greg who gave us a lovely grand tasting and was charming as ever. He's the best! read more

Best place for Pinot and dogs! I brought my little pup, taco, and the staff (without asking) brought out a dog bowl of water to make she he was hydrated. I also love pinots and this place has 10+ Pinots that are amazing! Must come! read more

This is a great spot to check out when you are tasting along 116 in Sebastopol. This winery is centrally located and easy to get to. It is also located near many other great wineries so you can easily make a day out of it. I have been to this spot a few times and my last visit inspired me to write a review. They have a few areas for hangouts and even have a bocce court! There are no strict rules to play bocce, just first come first serve. #westcountystyle. During my last visit, I just tasted their blush wine and their reds. The blush wine is a good option when paired with foods. It's on the dryer side, which works well with richer foods and cheeses. Of the reds, my preferred choice was their Pinot Noir. I tried both Pinots and preferred the Pinot over the Pinot Reserve. The Pinot was easy to drink, darker berries, and well balanced. Not an overly dark Pinot Noir but still in the Russian River style Pinot. For those who like stronger Oak wines, you will enjoy the Pinot Reserve. The staff members are all also great. I spent my time with the tasting room manager and his wife. They were both wonderful people. Lot's of fun to talk to. We were all laughing and having a great time. The indoor wine tasting room is country casual and welcoming. They also have beautiful art on the walls. They have a collection of super cool artwork involving photographs where the colors are enhanced. Ultimately, it looks like a painting. Very interesting and beautiful to look at. For the times I have visited, they always have some sort of food offering (maybe I just came at the right times). Food offerings have been chili, meatballs, assorted cheeses, and bread and crackers. In addition, they have an olive oil tasting area and a condiment tasting area (think fancy mustards). Along your 116 wine tasting adventures, be sure to check this place out. Or bring your "bocce shoes" and a picnic and make a day out of it. read more

Graton Ridge Cellars is a real gem in Sonoma County, the staff are all very polite and knowledgeable about their incredible wines. Besides their fantastic wines, they have a beautiful bocce ball court and picnic area overlooking the quaint vineyards. They have a beautiful Chardonnay that is very fruit forward and delicate as well as award winning, not to mention their Pinot's and Zinfandel which blow the competition out of the water! The 2011 Zinfandel just won a Best of Class and a Gold medal at the Grand Harvest Awards. One of the most incredible things there are their ports, they have a one-of-a-kind Apple port and a phenomenal Zinfandel port (they provide a small pairing of blue cheese with the apple port and chocolate with the Zin port). A must see while in Sonoma County! read more
