Imagery is such a fun winery! The wines are all incredible and very innovative . The art on the wine bottles is so fun too. We've been a few times and it's always a great time, super chill place, everyone is super nice, and service is great. 10/10 would recommend read more

Came with my friend who is a wine club member. It's 12/30. It's not that busy. The wine club area is closed on the weekdays and there is a sign directing us to the main bar with a welcome of oh you don't have a reservation and weird looks like we were stupid to come without reservations. Ok. Noted. Now we are with Gerardo... He tells us we "get to" taste these wines and we ask for the white burgundy skipping the viognier. Other clients are tasting the sparkling which we just got an email about so we ask and he says we are getting an extra pour. Ummm we'd like to try before we buy is that a crazy expectation? And so we continue on. Meanwhile the other bartenderis offering other people side by side of the barbera and the upper ridge barbera to taste what they like...not us. When I commented that I do enjoy French champagne he said it's made in the same style and he has a bottle at home that he might drink for New Year's. Ok cool. He had zero wine knowledge. Didn't tell us much about the wines. And wanted us to purchase but was limiting our tastes and experience. Another couple arrived who noticed an error on their invoice and he could t figure out how to correct it and had to enlist the help of someone else. The final straw was we asked to taste the rose and he said it's not open today but then we saw other folks try it from the same fridge. Very odd. Didn't feel like there was a benefit to being in the club. He closed with telling us he needs to go to lunch so what are we buying? I've been here many times before and enjoyed the patio and the inside table with the fireplace and cute gift options. Today he made me question whether I would return. I don't think that the wine industry is doing really well so an experience like this is very off putting. read more

Beautiful grounds and a relaxing experience with delicious wines. Setting: Scenic and relaxed with bocce ball, cornhole, ample indoor/outdoor seatingand beautiful vineyard views. Service: Mixed--waited 30 minutes before being greeted or given any direction, but the wine experts were warm, knowledgeable, and made up for the rocky start. Experience: The picnic for two was charming and tasty, with generous pours and a laid-back vibe. Great place to sip, snack, and soak in Sonoma. read more

Wonderful educational and creative experience at Imagery Estates winery. Our host, CJ, talked us through a delicious flight of wines, all made by award winning female winemaker, Jaime Benzinger. (The tasting is $45 for non members.) We started with a dry, well crafted North Coast Brut. We moved on to 2023 Viogner, which was strongly citrus forward. CJ poured the Wow Oui, a classic Sauvignon Blanc with stone fruit and grass, perfect for this lovely green setting which featured families picnicking and playing bocce ball, and dogs and well dressed kids playing on the grass. Our wines were paired with three kinds of 'chips' as part of our "All That & A Bag of Chips" experience and included a trio of delicious flavors: a sweet chip from The Saucy Ladies (NY), locally produced hippie dust popcorn from Santa Rosa and a new favorite, Lebanese-inspired pita chips from Spread Kitchen Sonoma. (Which we liked so much, we opted for an early dinner at Spread later, the same day.) We are fans of red. Unsurprisingly the 2021 Barbera, Malbec and Lagrein pours were delicious. The Lagrein was particularly dark, inky and unusual. The quality of all the wine produced at Imagery was excellent: balanced and delicious. The winery is focused on sustainability practices including biodynamic farming and features a wildlife sanctuary and an insectary. The wine club gets you reciprocal membership at the mothership, biodynamic winery, Benzinger. A memorable, enjoyable, relaxing, and educational wine experience at Imagery drinking great wines and looking out over estate vines. All wines feature custom labels with original art, all featuring the Imagery Parthenon. read more

My best friend and I enjoyed a perfect afternoon today at Imagery. We were so pleased with our wine host, Dori. She is absolutely delightful and we felt well cared for. Dori offered detailed tasting notes on each wine she poured. Both the interior of the winery and exterior are beautiful. We sat on the patio which boasts a beautiful view of their gardens and bocce court. We were impressed with many of the wines we tried- and there are quite a few. The two standout winners for us were their bubbles (they were superb) and the Barbera. The truffle chips and popcorn were scrumptious and well paired with the wines. Definitely a winning experience! read more

When we first walked in, the blonde woman behind the bar didn't seem to have the time or interest to welcome us, which was a bit off-putting. Thankfully, Stephen arrived shortly after and completely turned things around--he was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and informative. We loved the gallery and the story behind the art--each piece has either been featured on a bottle or will be in the future. It's fun to walk around and take it all in. There's even a quirky room that looks like a boardroom, which is part of the gallery and would be perfect for a small, intimate event. The outdoor space is beautiful, with a huge lawn area that's great for picnics, a bocce ball court, and several patio areas with seating. There's also a cute boutique on-site with lots of fun items to browse (and buy!). Although the website says walk-ins are welcome, I'd recommend making a reservation just to be safe. Overall, it was a good experience, and the wine was enjoyable. Their sister winery is also absolutely gorgeous! read more

Loved the winery! CJ greeted us, and we enjoyed a very informative description of the winery and its history. The winery itself is very picturesque and is worth another visit. The wine was great, and I loved the wine bottle pour stoppers they had. Very fun. The outdoor area was fantastic. It was a great elite event. It was my first time at the winery. read more

This place has been a favorite for years. Great wine, staff and commitment to sustainability. My only complaint is that the current manager has literally killed the buzz. Since she has been hired, it's a noticeable shift in the dynamics and not for the better. It screams corporate management style and as a result, we don't enjoy coming here as much. Example: this is a dog friendly winery. They used to have treats the staff could give to dogs that visited. We went a few weeks ago and were told she said no more treats. It's also clear they don't feel comfortable petting the dogs at all because of the policy (even if they wash hands after and are not serving food in the 1st place). Advice to The Wine Group- you bought this place because it is successful and somewhere people enjoy. Don't bring in a stiff manager who ruins the vibe completely. Seriously, we don't want to come here because of the energy she brings. read more

Stopped for a tasting since their sign by the road said 'Walk ins welcome'. We did the 'at the bar' tasting. $25 each 4 or 5 wines. Staff was nice wines tasty. Super easy since no reservation was required. Grounds are lovely. read more

We came here after it was recommended on our first wine tasting stop of the day, glad we listened because we had a wonderful experience! They have quite a few options for what you can do here. They have tastings at the bar, bottle and glass service outside, a member only tasting room, and another outside tasting area. We tasted at the bar and enjoyed shopping around all the tables they had with gourmet snacks and other fun goods. The bar tasting was a 5 wine tasting menu with a mix of reds and whites, but they had some other bottles open and we were able to give a few of them a taste as well. And good thing we did because we ended up going home with more of the off menu pours than wines from the actual tasting menu! We were helped by CJ who was super knowledgeable about the wines, the different vineyards the grapes came from, and the history of the winery. He shared about the art and the labels which made the experience more fun and interactive as we searched each label and painting for the Parthenon. I would absolutely come back and opt for the bar tasting for a more lively experience. If you're looking for a more relaxed vibe, I'd probably opt for a seated tasting. read more

My 2007 Yelp review comments are obsolete. My opinion about Imagery wines has greatly improved. I started to re-visit Imagery in the late 2010's to happily discover that the wine maker had changed and wines were much more delicious. I actually became a member of their wine club and bought cases of different varietals on a regular basis. I moved out of Sonoma county in 2024. And also dropped my Imagery membership when the bottle prices were increased significantly. If you are visiting Sonoma county for a wine tour I do recommend that you visit Imagery for the wine, the hospitality and the gift shop. read more

First the grounds of this winery are so chill and welcoming! Bocce ball court. Cornhole and some lovely chairs to relax and enjoy a bottle. We were greeted by Tanya with a yummy splash of Wow Qui. Light and refreshing wine is great for a warm summer day! CJ was our wine host and he was cute and friendly. Had 5 yummy wines on the tasting menu with some tasty munchies. Black truffle chips, hippie dust popcorn and some Italian flavored chips. This winery is a must see! Cool bottles and artwork with a cool lobby of local flavors and gifts. I highly recommend! Decided to join the wine club. Had to do it! Also Shipping some wine to my parents in Florida as they love the Wow Qui! read more

I have been to a handful of wineries for wine tasting over the last few years and this winery was by far the most friendly and hospitable. The staff were awesome and genuine in there conversations. The staff had the perfect balance of information on the wine and a mix of just good personality. My friends and I enjoy white wines the most and the tasting was catered to our preference. We also loved the lawn which has bocce ball and corn hole for guests to play while having a drink. There were kids playing which was nice to see a family friendly winery. This seems like a great place to come hangout with friends and family. We ordered a few bottles of the Viognier because it was so good! I would recommend anyone to come check out this place. read more

After a long search in the Sonoma area for a budget friendly wine tasting that could accommodate a group of 6 I settled on imagery winery. The picnic tables outdoors are in great scenery with bocce ball and other lawn games available. We were allowed to bring as much food as we wanted to accompany the wine and there were more snack option inside for purchase. The rule with the picnic tables required a purchase of 1 bottle per 2 people. They waived the $50 weekend reservation fee because the patio was empty other than our group. We also got to sample a wide variety of wines before deciding which bottles to purchase and take to our table. Overall a great place for non-snobby wine drinkers with great staff and accommodations. read more

After tasting at Benziger (Imagery's sister winery), we had to visit Imagery since our server recommended to get a 2 for 1 tasting at Benziger's kiosk! S E R V I C E: Imagery was just as beautiful, and parking was a plenty. It was quite busy as well! The person who served my husband and I was Jack, and he gave us plenty of time to taste and figure out the different notes of each wine, and stayed long enough to explain them. W I N E: I loved almost every wine we tasted because it seemed like all of them had a sweetness that I enjoyed. My favorites were Viognier, Petite Sirah, Albariño, and the 2022 Riesling (which I had to buy!!) O V E R A L L: Definitely would love to come back to try more of their wines. This is also a good place to bring friends and family! They seem to get busy, so make a reservation if you have a big group. Can't wait to come back! read more

What a beautiful winery! The girls in my family and I decided to take a wine trip to Sonoma for some family bonding and it was so much fun! On our way in, we had some time to kill before heading to check-in to our Airbnb so we stumbled upon this winery, which I believe is the sister winery of another winery we were visiting the next day. Upon walking up from the parking lot, it's absolutely stunning. Beautiful greenery and plants and flowers everywhere. We walked in and immediately saw the bar area and ended up doing the tasting menu. They also had a lot of meat and cheeses and snacks that you could buy in a little shop area right by the bar area so we also got some cheeses and crackers and whatnot. I also believe it is dog friendly because there were even a few dogs inside while people were grabbing their tastings and heading outside. Love that. The bar area is stunning! The woman who helped us was really nice. I think we might have confused her a little bit because I am definitely a slow drinker and I was a taste behind all of my family haha. So every time I came up, she wasn't sure which tasting I was on. No big deal. They also gave us a free tasting of a rose to start with, which I thought was so nice. The wines were all delicious and it was such a good start to the trip! We ended up sitting in the back area outside and enjoying the nice weather and chatting. It was such a beautiful day! They had plenty of outdoor seating for walk-ins which I appreciated. When we were leaving, one of the staff members offered to take our pictures in the main area outside. They have a beautiful grass area which I think is probably where they do weddings and whatnot. It's so beautiful! Definitely recommend this winery! read more

What a wonderful visit! We inquired about the picnic experience -- wine, cheese, a charcuterie board -- on line, but as it was a same-day inquiry, we were unable to make the reservation. We called and spoke with Dori, and apparently there are two picnic options, and we miscommunicated the one we wanted. When we got there at the appointed time, and the confusion was noted, Dori and CJ worked things out and we were able to have the experience we'd hoped for. The wines we tasted were very good, and after we selected our glasses, we were escorted to our outdoor table while CJ quickly curated our charcuterie board.(Side note: you have to try their fig jam!) The crackers, toma cheese, fig jam, and salami were perfect. Our only regret was that there was not more! (But we did purchase the wine and fig jam to take with us!) The shaded picnic table made it all the better to watch the bocce ball and corn hole players amid some of the most beautiful flowers and plants. Thank you, Dori and CJ, for making the last minute changes. These Texans will definitely remember our visit, and we'll recommend Imagery Winery to our friends who visit Sonoma Valley! read more

BOUGHT 2 WINES FROM THE TASTING MENU Last year in October with a group of dancers we visited two wineries. Imagery Estate Winery was the second winery we visited that day. There was a room for our group for wine tasting. The room provided an intimate, quiet setting away from the rest of the customers at the winery. For the wine tasting there were five wines. The first wine was a Sparking Brut Rose - a nice wine to start with in the early afternoon. The second wine was the 2021 White Burgendy. Our host stated, "This wine is the red wine person's favorite white wine." There are some people who are devoted as a white wine or red wine drinker. For me I do not have a preference. I am concerned if the wine compliments well with my food. After drinking the White Burgundy I will say this is the best white wine I ever drank. I knew from the moment I tasted the White Burgundy I was going to buy this wine. The third wine was the 2019 Sangiovese. This red wine had pleasant full-body taste that makes you want to drink more. The fourth wine was the 2019 Tusca Brava, which is a Sangiovese-based blend of Cabernet, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. I found this wine to be too strong. After drinking this wine I knew I wanted to buy a bottle of the Sangiovese instead of the Tusca Brava. The last wine on the tasting menu was the 2019 Pallas, which is their flagship wine. This was the strongest tasting wine on the list. After the visit I ordered two bottles each of the White Burgendy and Sangiovese. That was in October. Yesterday I drove to Imagery Estate Winery with the purpose of buying two bottles of the White Burgundy or possibly joining a wine club of this winery. Regarding the wine club I didn't want to enroll through the website without knowing more of the benefits. I went to the bar and interacted with the sales representative Gabriel. He explained the three types of wine clubs. One thing I appreciate Gabriel wasn't pushy. He provided the details and allowed me to decide. I ended up not joining a wine club, but I didn't drive to Imagery Estate Winery without buying a wine. My intent was to buy two bottles of White Burgundy however I noticed at one of the wine racks were two bottles of Sangiovese. Through the website and the wine list the Sangiovese wasn't listed. I asked Gabriel if I can purchase the remaining last two bottles of Sangiovese. He said yes and stated the price of the Sangiovese is $55 per bottle. I ended up buying the last two bottles of Sangiovese. Gabriel provided me the wine club brochure along with his contact information just in case I have more questions to ask about the wine club. During my two visits to Imagery Estate Winery I enjoyed the wine tasting experience along with the insights of each wine club. I will definitely come back to Imagery Estate Winery again. Maybe by that time I might have become a wine club member. read more

I recently came here for wine tasting. It had been many years since I'd popped in to taste. It was a beautiful day and grounds are lovely to be outside and walk or sit. We did a walk in tasting and ended up standing at the bar for most of the time. I enjoyed all the wine and got started with a sparkling upon arrival. Staff was attentive but didn't talk about the wine a ton. My favorite was the wow oui. We walked out buying several bottles and always enjoy our time at Imagery! read more

Have been wine club member here for years (and sister winery, Benziger)! Love this place...Friends and I often hike at the nearby Regional Park, then come for tasting, picnic and to play some bocce. Always a great day! Servers are so friendly (Dory's a gem and so was Sandy, who has since retired)...Great variety of wine choices (and they are excellent) and snacks available if you need to buy some. On a pleasant day, weather-wise, sitting outside is lovely and most relaxing! On a colder day, the indoor fireplace is very inviting... read more

Recently sat down for a tasting. Enjoyed a variety of unique wine blends along with a few classic grape wines. The 23 viogner was really impressive. Bright and peachy white wine perfect for sunny summer days. Their Syrah was medium bodied, closer to some of the big reds I often search for. We sat outside and enjoyed the patio. They mentioned there were some larger picnic areas that are available to reserve for larger parties. Beautiful lawn and bocce ball area. read more

You'll be seeing images of happiness swirling around in your head after visiting Imagery Estate Winery. Located along the Sonoma Highway on the outskirts of Glen Ellen, California, Imagery Estate Winery is the sister winery of the noteworthy Benziger Family Winery, which is on the opposite side of central Glen Ellen. So dominant the Benziger Family is in the region that Jamie Benziger is Imagery Estate's chief winemaker, keeping things all in the family. What sets Imagery Estate Winery apart from so many of their local neighbors and no doubt friendly competitors is that this winery also serves as a major art gallery showing off creative paintings talents artists known around the world. Who doesn't want to take in a little art with a glass of wine? I have had the opportunity to come to Imagery Estate Winery a couple times in the past, enjoying their vast grounds, which is beautifully landscaped thanks to the amount of lush trees and shrubbery and the fact that they have one of the largest open lawn areas in the region that makes it the perfect place for picnics and even playing bocce ball. What brought me here on my most recent visit to the area was the fact that a friend made reservations at another winery for a visit, and they suggested we make a stop here at Imagery Estate Winery, as she was a member and had to pick up her regular shipment of wine. Of course, I was willing to tag along especially since we got a few pours from their Bar Tasting menu. Upon entry to their tasting room, one will instantly notice all of the lovely natural light peering in thanks to all of the windows on all four sides of the building. Once we approached their tasting counter, our tasting room associate instantly poured us a glass of their 2019 Brut Rosé. With flavors of strawberries, white peaches and even rose petals, this delightful wine is crafted using the famous "Methode Champenoise" process and leaves a refreshing finish on your mouth thanks to the extra addition of Chardonnay in every bottle. For our second pour, we received their 2021 Wow Oui (get it? wow-wee?), which Imagery Estate considers their trademark porch pounder, as it was sourced from the winery's Upper Ridge Vineyard, this wine is a refreshing blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat Canelli, and had flavors of pink lemonade and grapefruit, which is probably why I liked it so much. For our third and final pour, we enjoyed their 2019 Sangiovese, which was a nice velvety red wine thanks to the blend of red cherries and spices. We had such a wonderful time at Imagery Estate Winery that the fact that the weather was so dreary outside made no difference as their tasting room had a lovely Club member lounge that we could sit in for a spell and gather our thoughts and equilibrium. Taking in the artwork, I began to realize that each and every one of their wine bottles has custom made artwork on their labels, which makes a wine purchase all the more valuable. Since I am a red wine lover, I opted to purchase a bottle of their multi-award winning 2018 Estate Merlot, of which the member price was a very reasonable 48 dollars. Once opened, this Merlot had a wonderful balance of tannins and acidity with every sip and paired lovely with my latest dinner of steak and potatoes. Any of the wines at Imagery Estate Winery pairs well with any meal, as the bottles alone are serious conversation starters for any family meal. At Imagery Estate Winery they are providing fans with the perfectly balanced wines in a sumptuous natural setting. It just goes to show you should never judge a book by its cover and at Imagery Estate Wines, you'll have plenty of images to stimulate your vision and plenty of wines to stimulate your taste buds. read more

NOT KID FRIENDLY as stated online- very disappointment on our visit to the winery today. Back story- I was locally born and raised in Sonoma. As an adult I have moved away however my family continues to reside in the area. I haven't been back for almost 2 years, since getting pregnant and having a baby. My 10 month and I am made the trip out to visit my new niece. My sisters asked if there was anything specific I wanted to do on my visit and I told them, all I wanted was to visit Imagery, since this was my favorite wine to drink. Today- we checked the website, which indicates kid friendly in the tasting room and outside so we figured we'd go today since weekdays are a little slower and we had the babies. although it has been pouring rain, we loaded up excited to come over. When we arrived we walked in the door (soaked) with our two strollers and sisters. The young man greeted us but the older gal just gave us a dirty look. We didn't really pay too much attend to that. We went and ordered a bottle of wine from the young man and sat down to drink it. We were all smiles and having a good time chatting together. Debating on which bottles we were going to bring back with us... while sitting there a lady walked up to us and said "to respect the other guests, we needed to keep it down" we weren't talking loud so I looked over and said okay, she was talking about my 10 month old who was smiling, laughing and making noises. We were so thrown off, we basically said okay and packed up and left. Mind you there were only 2 other couples in there at the time. I am so unbelievably disappointment and embarrassed. I couldn't even talk the whole drive home expect for asking my sisters if the baby was too loud. How are you a child friendly place if the child can't make any noises..... this isn't a library. I spend so much money on imagery wine and I was SO excited, literally the only thing I wanted to do. I honestly will NEVER GO BACK. read more

Such a beautiful winery. Not only did we enjoy the wines but experience all together was a 10/10. My husband and I met with our friends on an early Monday morning and we were the only group in! It was nice to have the back patio all to ourselves and just relax. Sandi blowed us throughout our service and she was so sweet. She was very personable and felt like an old friend. Her knowledge on the wines and the establishment were plentiful. She assisted us throughout the gallery and advise on wine pairings. Sandi even added 2 other tastings for us, upon request! We had so much fun walking through the gallery and trying to find the hidden images in each photo/painting. We left very happy, but I mean how can you not when you've got 3 bottles of wine? Hahahah, thank you sandi for the lovely experience! read more

Had an absolute great afternoon at Imagery yesterday. We were there with 5 adults and three kids and it was beautiful. We brought a spread to snack on at the picnic tables while sipping wine served by Jose. Kids were engaged with games the whole time - we there for about 2 1/2 hours. Nice touch at the end was when Jose joined my two sons and I for for a quick game of 2v2 cornhole. Just a great afternoon and look forward to coming back! Thanks Jose and Imagery! read more

We had a lovely tasting experience with Sandi today at Imagery. We had a different tasting schedule for the morning, but they canceled on us due to the rain. We were trying to fit a visit to Imagery in during our trip, so the cancelation was a blessing in disguise. We arrived just a couple of minutes after they opened and Sandi swooped in as soon as we entered because we have the cutest dog ever (who also happens to resemble Sandi's dog, Sunshine). Even without us having a reservation, she graciously set up our tastings at the bar and guided us through our tasting, accommodating our request for a white tasting flight. Sandi gave us a lot of great info as we went, covering the history of the winery and the unique way that they label their wines with artwork that is limited to one varietal / one vintage. They have a well stocked retail space as well, so we picked up a couple of nice candles along with 3 bottles of wine. The grounds are rustically beautiful as well, even in the rain. read more

Spent a lovely afternoon on Cinco de Mayo at Imagery Winery with a bunch of friends. I did make an appointment, don't know if it is required. The grounds are beautiful and luckily it was a very lovely day, weather-wise. We filled up a bunch of picnic tables under some redwood trees that provided ample shade. I didn't have enough ice in my cooler for waters and to cool the Imagery wine we purchased and CJ was kind enough to give us the ice we needed. I promise to bring enough ice next time we visit. Lee is the winery manager; she was very welcoming and went out of her way to make our time pleasant. We also dealt with behind-the-bar hosts Tanya and Stephen who helped us with the choices of wine we needed to order. The outside is beautiful, yes. But if it's too hot, too cold, or too windy/rainy, the interior of the winery is also very welcoming. There is actually a art exhibit inside that has the art created for all the Imagery bottle labels. Artists present their work, art is chosen, the artists are paid for their creations, and their art is exhibited on the various label of wines. Pretty cool. I highly recommend a visit to Imagery; it is certainly a 5***** winery. Thank you Lee, CJ and crew for all your service and care. read more

5 stars for the ambiance/wine, 3 stars for the service (specifically one server). We came here with a large group for a couple of birthdays- we had rented out a picnic table for 16 and the rest of the group planned to do a wine tasting as a private group. We had a ton of fun hanging in the lawn area, playing bocce ball and corn hole. Most of the people working there were incredibly kind and accommodating. But one host in particular was incredibly rude and condescending (shoulder length brown hair), and in front of multiple members of our party kept whispering things to other employees while looking at us clearly annoyed. While she was obviously upset at the size of our group (despite us having purchased the minimal bottle service and separating into two groups), it was very disappointing customer service, and she really lacked professionalism. The only reason I am not giving this place 3 stars is because the rest of the employees were so kind and helpful while we were choosing wines/etc. Oh, and she also told us that the bocce was fully booked out (when in reality it became free 30 minutes after we arrived). The lack of hospitality (and frankly dishonesty) really left a sour taste in our mouths. read more

Stopped for tasting. I was designated driver. Have not been here for over 12 years. The tasters enjoyed their experience. I enjoyed people watching. The pourers were pleasant but the experience had a more corporate feel about it. The artwork angle is interesting- and a pleasant diversion from the usual wine related merchandise. The outdoor gardens are lovely. This would be a good place for a picnic. read more
