I must post this review from my Covid file! Because I love Champagne. Just came upon it…read more Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles! What a fun stop at Korbel Champagne Cellars! Located in Guernville and the beautiful Russian River region... Korbel is world famous for its Champagnes. Started in 1882 and still going strong. As of April they are again offering tastings of their many California Champagne varieties currently produced onsite. And at very reasonable prices! Or why not purchase a bottle and sit under the beautiful redwoods to sip and enjoy on their peaceful deck. We chose the later. But first a visit to the Korbel deli just steps away. I appreciated the social distancing by allowing only so many people in at a time. An what a deliciously, large inventory of food from which to choose! So many sandwiches made to order. A deli case stocked with fresh salads, olives, cheeses and more. Desserts that looked soooo good! If you find yourself in the famous Sonoma county "wine" country... do not miss Korbel!

The BH and Yelp partner loves champagne. We were visiting the Russian River area, so a visit to the…read moreKorbel Winery seemed in order. We picked a gorgeous day. The visit was entertaining and informative. The start of the tour begins at the restored train station for a short intro and historical perspective. The tour guide moves the group to the original winery building (no longer used for production). The group watches an hour long movie on the history of Korbel starting out with the family immigrating to the USA from Bohemia, cigar making, moving from the east coast to San Francisco, moving to Guerneville, cigar box making, logging, building a railroad to the logging operation, growing crops, growing grapes and the production of sparkling wine. And the story of the only American sparkling that can call itself champagne. The tour moves thru the cellar with its original barrels built in place and other memorabilia. The tour ends with a glass of sec, a champagne only served and sold at the winery. We learned about the different grapes used as well as the dosage to determine the level of sweetness. We also learned about riddling and the Korbel's invention of an automatic riddling machine.After the tour, we moved to the tasting room where you get 3 pours for $15. There were 3 of us in our group so we tried 9 different champagnes of varying sweetness. Then on to the retail store before ending up in the deli for a noshe to fortify us for the drive back to our lodging. Staff at the winery were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Definitely worth a stop here. Will be back!

I wouldn't go back on my own.

Her customer service, warmth, and enthusiasm flowed throughout the evening and was a large contributor to our positive experience. We ordered the Beet Salad, Mac n Cheese, Bistro Steak, Black Cod, and for dessert had the Bread Pudding. Pretty much everything was absolutely delicious. The Mac n Cheese deserves a special mention as it was perfectly creamy and flavorful. The one thing I could not get over was the amount of broth in the cod dish. It was simply too much and overtook the dish. The cod itself however was buttery and cooked to perfection. All in all, boone eat + drink was a great experience and I would definitely return and recommend.

The weather is perfect, you're on the river, and on both sides surrounding you are tons (literally) of BBQ to be eaten and kegs of beer to be emptied. There's music, revelry and a lot of satisfied bellies all around you. It's definitely an experience to take in. We had a bit of a logistical hiccup getting in, and unfortunately I wasn't able to try the Mad Scientist BBQ (winner from last year) but there's always next year. And with that being said, I sampled at least 8-10 other very legitimate BBQ teams serving some of the best ribs and chicken I've ever had. If you are fortunate enough to secure a ticket for this event next year I recommend a couple things: -Get a beer lanyard for $5 (they are super helpful) -Come with an empty stomach -Eat first, then drink. The food runs out before the beer. -Bathroom lines can be tough, try to go to the less obvious Porto locations That's it, see you next year Stumptown!

Not inviting so we sat at a high boy in the darkened bar, which was much nicer. I'm sure it's beautiful to sit on the balcony in the summer on warm nights. We chatted with the German owner who was doubling as a bartender, who was very nice. We loved the German influences in the bar, as we had just been to Oktoberfest in Munich. The owner's daughter Sarah runs the kitchen. My husband had a pork tenderloin schnitzel "Vienna style" ($20) and I had a jaegerschnizel with mushroom gravy ($20) and both were excellent. We split the potato pancakes (two with sour cream and apple sauce, $12) which were served crispy but tasty. They had a nice German beer and wine list. We finished with a delicious apple strudel to complete a lovely meal. I recommend this restaurant for tasty dinners in a unique venue.
