We decided to check out Merry Edwards for their pinot noir, but the sauvignon blanc was a fantastic surprise. My husband booked the reserve tasting ($90, but one tasting fee is waived with the purchase of 3 bottles - which we took advantage of). Their pinot noirs are fantastic - you can smell and taste the french oak. Scott was our host and he was awesome. Really personable, knowledgeable, and friendly - would definitely request him again (if we're able) when we come back next! Upon arrival, we checked in and got to choose where we wanted to sit -inside or outside. It's a relatively small space, but we enjoyed our spot outside, as it was great weather that day. Everyone has a different palette, but we enjoyed the Warren's Hill pinot - which had a grippier, more tannin-heavy taste (than typical pinot noirs we were associated with). Aromatic, umami, darker berry fruit forward. As I preluded, the sauvignon blanc was fantastic - very fruity on the nose. Clean and bright, and I get predominantly pineapple/tropical notes. Would definitely come back again. We joined their allocation list, as they don't offer a typical wine club experience. read more

We love the Sauvignon Blanc, it's the best. I know Merry sold it to a bigger company a while ago, but the taste and quality is still there. It's just simply the best Sauvignon Blanc out there. We came here just to buy a case but saw that you get a free wine tasting if you purchase 3 or more. We were getting 12, so we decided to both try their reserve tasting. It was delicious. My son was able to play with the cat and walk around the garden. He enjoyed his time as well. read more

Sauvignon blanc!! That's all I have to say, their sauv blanc is one of the best. It always is a favorite for any white wine. I always try to get a case and give it out as gifts. Did some wine tasting and loved their Pinots too. Cat on property Sauv Blanc!! read more

Another fun and successful winery experience! Merry Edwards was high on my list to try after we'd read about the history, and it did not disappoint. More gorgeous views, amazing wine, incredible history, and great service. We brought charcuterie to snack and pair with our wine tasting and really enjoyed the gorgeous space where we were seated. We had the room to ourselves with a party of 8, and the service was on point. Always love to see women-owned or women-run businesses and Merry Edwards had a great story and I loved learning all about it. The wines were really great and our party ordered a few bottles to be shipped - a nice perk to not have to lug them around. read more

Believe it or not came here for the sav blanc. The Pinots stole the show but now I understand why the sav blanc is saved for the last part of the tasting. Absolutely delicious. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. We had Scott as our host. And wow- he was so kind, but even more knowledgeable about my the history and the wine. Thoroughly enjoyed him. We will for sure be back. read more

The service is wonderful and the space is serene. We came during a slower time towards the end of a Sunday and the wine, service, atmosphere was excellent. It's a small winery, recently bought out by a major champagne house, and they are known for their Sauvignon blanc. I also think their merlots are on many restaurant wine lists. The patio space is comfortable and they have a house cat sitting next to their vast vineyard. There is a semi private tasting room indoors with additional tasting space. Nice stop nearby. read more

I've only been here once years ago. Went today with some gal pals and it was absolutely fabulous. Our server/educator Max was the best. They have some lovely pinots and an over-the-top creamy sauvignon blanc like you've never tasted before. Beautiful venue it's a must do. The original winemaker Merry Edwards is quite fabulous and well-known in the area highly recommended read more

My girlfriend and I went to visit Merry Edward's winery for her birthday today, aftwr a friend recommended them for their Pinot noirs. It was such a treat. Our server, Scott, was attentive and knowledgeable without ever being overbearing. I really enjoyed talking about Italian and California wines with him. Scott also talked about the wines he loved by chatting about food pairings, which is something my gf and I enjoyed and took note of. The Pinot reserve wine tasting was wonderful, truly. Just a lovely experience. The Sauvignon blanc at the end was a fruity and lovely as the other comments indicate. Anyways, if you're thinking to visit, you should. read more

We had a great time at Merry Edwards!! Our host, Max, was very informative and brought out a few bottles of wine we really enjoyed based on our preferences. Max really nailed it and had great suggestions on other wineries and shops in the area. On top of the great wine, max and the other hosts were very welcoming and sweet to our young Doxie puppy who is still learning his manners. Can't recommend them enough and plan to come back! read more

I have Ben to Merry Edwards a few times and Max as our host never disappoints. We had a lovely flight of mostly Pinot Noirs with a Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc mixed in. We chose to sit inside with the cool air container it was pushing 90 degrees when we arrived and this was a great decision. I walked away with two bottles of their reserve Pinot and two bottles of bubbly. Can't miss with this spot. It's a must try if you like Pinot noir. read more

Come for the wine, fall in love with the cat Absolute purrfection Cloe stole the show for me. Wonderfully sweet mascot who happily greeted and took pets from anyone who wanted to give them. Her sun bleached fur was so soft. Once I was able to drag myself away from the cat we had a lovely tasting. Enjoyed all of the wines that were presented. Nicely landscaped patio was the perfect spot to start our day in Sonoma. read more

After having the Sauvignon Blanc at Perry's on Union, the group I was with decided we had to go to Merry Edwards and try everything else they had. The tasting had some very clear winners with the Sauv blanc obviously, but the Coopersmith Pinot and the Eclipse Rose. After the tasting, they let us purchase a few bottles to enjoy in their garden tasting area. Plus they are super dog friendly which is always a plus. If you're around Sebastapol, you should stop by here and have a great time! read more

Merry Edwards, and specifically our tasting guide Max, was the highlight of our wine country trip! Max said it himself, the wines are so good, they basically sell themselves. I myself bought a bottle of Chardonnay to take home, but I regret not also taking a bottle of Russian River Valley Pinot as well. We did the Appellation tasting so we were able to compare different wines from different areas and it was super helpful to learn more about the AVAs and get an intro to wine country on our first day. Truly though, even after the trip, we still call Max our "friend" because he took such great care of us! He was recommending other wineries to check out based on what we liked, he even wrote down some notes for us. It truly felt like a buddy was walking us through his favorite wines and it made the experience top notch. Oh, and of course, Chloe, the 19 year old feline mistress was in the garden nearby overseeing all. Mustn't forget Chloe!! read more

Had a lovely tasting here late last week. The tasting room was very welcoming. We had a lovely view of the grapes. The Pinots were outstanding. Our host was so knowledgeable about which would go well with my palette. He was spot on. Highly suggest a visit. read more

I'm editing this review after follow-up from the establishment. I was really looking forward to visiting merry edwards as it was highly recommended by friends. As someone who works in the industry , I was disappointed in how they recognize industry. Only 1 tasting was comped, and there were no additional wines offered that weren't on the menu. The wine was good, but there is a lot of good/great wine in this region. After my original YELP review, Bernie (tasting room manager) reached out to me to address my concerns. As a result, they are modifying their website to better support industry tastings, and will be doing some retraining of staff. They also refunded me the tasting fee that should have been comped at the time of the visit. I really appreciate Bernie reaching out to me, and the fact that he took action to improve future visits. I will give them another try next time I get to Sonoma. read more

I had the extreme pleasure of drinking the 2019 Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir a few times and I cannot stress how delicious it is and it is thee smoothest Pinot Noir I have ever had in my life! I hold all other Pinot Noir's up to their standards from this day forward. And now for the 2012 Merry Edwards Cuvée Olivet Sparkling Wine it has brioche notes as well as pear, also is late disgorged $80 a bottle it is absolutely worth it. Now Merry Edwards Legacy Russian River Pinot Noir 2019 again another divine Pinot Noir I just had to buy it they don't have very many left so I'm saving for a special occasion. The tasting rooms are in the main building, just beautiful with light woods and etched windows and French doors that open on to the outdoor patio area with tables with umbrellas and surrounding the patio were bright colorful flowers and the outstretched vineyards in the backdrop looking just like a postcard of our gorgeous wine country. *A little History* One of California's first woman winemakers, Merry Edwards began her career in 1974 after graduating with a master's degree from UC Davis' winemaking program. She worked as winemaker for multiple brands, including Mount Eden and Matanzas Creek, and consulted for dozens of wineries before creating the Merry Edwards label in 1997. Merry Edwards was integral in putting Russian River Pinot Noir on the map over the next decade and completed construction of her own winery on the site of her Coopersmith Vineyard in 2008. She was among the first California winemakers to embrace the importance of clonal selection and firmly believed that site-specific, terroir-driven viticulture was the only way to achieve broad success. Merry had begun her quest to acquire complete control over the winemaking process in 1996, when she purchased land in the Sebastopol Hills of Russian River Valley that would become the winery's premier single-vineyard Pinot Noir bottling, Meredith Estate. Her decision to follow this path would prove to be prescient. When Merry decided to retire and sell the winery, among the suitors was Champagne Louis Roederer, since the 200-year-old company's winemaking philosophy mirrors that which Merry embraced her entire career. It was a match made in Heaven. Now a Certified California Sustainable Winery, the brand entered a new chapter after Merry's retirement in 2020. Merry's handpicked successor, Winemaker Heidi von der Mehden, and Winery President Nicole Carter have taken up exactly where Merry left off and will continue to make wines treasured by legions of Merry Edwards' fans well into the future. Love it Women power, getting it done to perfection. P.S. Special thanks to Sarah our server she was awesome she helped us celebrate my bestie birthday tasting aka party made it even better she was a delight. Cheers, if you love Pinot Noir this is your happy place. Cheers SYOY read more

Lovely afternoon. Wine was good (well structured, interesting) delivered with the right balance of historical, technical and personal stories from our wine educator. Well paced and organized selection from sparkling to a cab-like Pinot with a sweet Sauvignon Blanc to end the flight. read more

After lunch, it was time to go wine tasting! One of the boys researched wineries in Sebastopol and found out Merry Edwards does free tastings. And you don't even need an appointment. My group of five stopped by on Thursday, February 22nd around 3:30pm. It's more like a presentation with a tasting, so there were two others who joined us. *2015 Russian River Pinot Noir ($48 bottle) *2015 Meredith Estate Pinot Noir ($66 bottle) *2015 Flax Vineyard Pinot Noir ($60 bottle) *2016 Sauvignon Blanc ($36 bottle) I'm more of a cab girl, so I found these really light. Also, I was hurting a bit from the night before, so it was really hard finishing any of the glasses. I actually just took a few sips of each and then poured out the rest. (Yes, I didn't finish one glass of tasting sized wine. So sad!) The guy running the tasting was knowledgeable and friendly. Very personable. In the end, one of the boys bought a bottle of the sauvignon blanc for his girlfriend. Good place for a low keep tasting. Especially if you like pinots. It does smell very much like cow sh!t outside, so make sure to take pix of the vineyard quickly. (It's probably just the fertilizer.) Overall, a nice stop with complimentary wine tastings. read more

It only took a sip for me to realize why Merry was named the queen of pinots! Beautiful tasting area and super friendly staff.

Our group just had another fantastic tasting experience at Merry Edwards, again hosted by the superb Wine Educator Max. We can't even imagine visiting without his extraordinary and encyclopedic knowledge of their fantastic wines, even on the library selections (which are so wonderful to be able to purchase and enjoy along with their current releases). As always, Max treated our group of wine and food professionals with the utmost professionalism, enthusiasm, responsiveness, passion, and integrity. Even our pup was welcomed with kindness and fine hospitality :). Since our initial tasting at Merry Edwards with Max, my friends and I have been sharing our rave reviews with everyone we know and sending them to Merry Edwards. With Max, Merry Edwards finally has the superior customer service experience and wine educator to match the stellar quality of their wines. Kudos Max! read more

One of the finer wineries in Sonoma. We came one day to tasted the Pinot Noirs. We went from one glass to another. Our server gave us a history of Merry Edwards. It was nice to hear about her experiences in making wine. Some were good, others were really good. I would say the tasting room was nicely set up. The wines we tasted were relatively young. Some wines need a few years to mature. Older wines have better flavor. Merry Edwards makes good wine. read more

Wine was ok the presentation by the host did not talk about the wines. Too packaged of a talk

Lovely winery that offers an amazing wine tasting experience. It's always a pleasure and we love to introduce friends to the wines offered. It's a must stop if you're in the area. read more

I never met a Sauvignon Blanc that I liked... until Merry Edwards. Well done! My husband and I were both pleasantly surprised and brought home a bottle along with a fine Pinot. Tastings are free and though reservations are not mandatory they are strongly advised. There were a couple groups being turned away prior to our 2:30 pm weekday reservation due to a booked afternoon. The gentleman conducting our tasting was knowledgeable of the Russian River Valley and of the history of Merry Edwards and her winery. We were provided a sheet of paper and pen to take notes which was helpful, as well as cheeses for pairing. Though friendly and informative, it did seem a little rushed. We were on to the next wine before we were done experiencing the first. Understandable that they are wanting to get the next group in on time, but we felt pushed out at the end. Deducting one star as a result, but otherwise top notch and would definitely recommend, especially to fellow feminists interested in supporting women in male dominated industry. Also, five stars for the friendly cats roaming the grounds. Meow! read more

This was our first of 10 wineries over 4 days. We discovered Merry's wines at a friend's house party recently. What a great start! STAFF: 5 stars. Esposa and I had a tasting by appointment in a private room, joined by 3 wine noobs. The staff told us about Merry's personal story then delved into each wine. He was personable and approachable. Very nice. He adjusted his presentation to account for a range of wine knowledge and tastes. FACILITY: 4 stars. This is a nice facility with a cute little outdoor garden, patio, and fountain. The lobby is a bit business-like. The tasting rooms are off to the sides. WINE: 5 stars. We tasted white, red, then white again. What? Yeah, though their Pinot Noirs are very good, it is their Sauvignon Blanc that is the true star. I personally am not a fan of Sauvignon Blanc, because most wineries make it too acidic with strong tones of grapefruit. Merry takes a unique approach by barrel aging, which adds complexity and warmth, balancing out the acidity. The result is an ultra-smooth and, frankly, unusual white wine. It belongs at the end of the tasting becuase it stands up to the reds. The was the ONLY Sauvignon Blanc we purchased on this trip! read more

Should I ever open a winery, it would be just like this one. Unpretentious and all about excellent wine. This place is special because of the wine and the tasting experience. It is unique because the tastings are free, the tastings are done in a private room without the distraction of people lined up at a counter and the focus of the wine is the pinot noir that Merry makes. I was dubious about a winery called "Merry Edwards". Maybe it's because I'm just one of those Neanderthals that believe libations and BBQ should only be championed by the male species - or maybe "Merry" sounds too happy for such serious work as making wine. Whatever the case, I was dead wrong! What I got from the tasting experience is that Merry is not only an excellent vintner but a pioneer of women making wine and viticulture. Her technique for making wine involves early hour harvest (like having the crew arrive at 3 a.m. with powerful outdoor lights setup) so that the temperature of the grapes is at the lowest temperature to optimize the crush quality - and having the grapes processed in the vineyard itself. I was impressed for such attention to detail. Well, there is as much of a story as one would want in the tasting presentation. I was quite interested because Merry was a student at U.C. Berkeley about the time I was (1973) and we had similar majors. She was making beer in her apartment as she understood the similarities to making bread. One of her professors suggested U.C. Davis as a way to extend her interests in botany and brewing. The wine at Merry Edwards is among the best I've ever tasted. You can only purchase the wine at her winery or an upscale restaurant. I took a photo of the restaurants that feature her wine. I'm thinking, "If these guys are smart enough to serve her wine, they must have good food!" Oh... of special interest is also three framed letters and menus that were hosted by the state department (United States) featuring Merry Edwards wine on their menus. I was impressed! Reading the menus and thinking of such a fine meal required only the best wine. Well, if it's good enough for a state meal, it's probably good enough for my table. The wine is not cheap, but if you want something special, Merry Edwards is where you get it if you want a really good Pinot. read more

Highest compliments for a most memorable tasting afternoon of ethereal wines presented by Tasting Room Associate Max Reed, who is simply one of the very best winery hosts we've ever experienced in all our decades of global wine tasting. He was absolutely fantastic with his attention to detail, ability to answer every wine question, wonderful energy, generosity, and professional capability. We enjoyed such a leisurely and informative tasting due to his flawless pacing, attentiveness, product knowledge, and responsiveness. His superior hospitality enhanced the entire wine tasting experience and gave us an even deeper appreciation for all the stellar wines at Merry Edwards. We purchased current releases and library wines based on his most helpful vintage recommendations. Our group consisted of long time wine industry veterans and Max just astounded us with his gold standard of exceptional hospitality. We've been visiting Merry Edwards for decades and Max was the absolute best host we've ever had. He has our very highest recommendation and we sincerely hope that all wine lovers will visit Merry Edwards to experience his level of service. Cheers to Max and the entire Merry Edwards Winery team! read more

I am local to Sebastopol and took 5 guest to this winery with expectations of good wine and local services. Do NOT go here. I had a credit card thrown in my face and told that Merry charged $120 for their champagne, because "they could" and that "SF people would pay it", not because it was quality. They do not care about quality or customers, just pumping tourists through at inflated false prices. I was in sock at the customer experience and the volatile experience we encountered. Don't go! Be ware! Inflated $$$ at a time when people are draining others because "they can". read more

Second stop of our Sonoma County Russian River Valley wine tasting tour brought us to Merry Edwards (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/merry-edwards-winery-sebastopol?select=Ja5Wh4bWJ4wYHu27GtzVtA#Ja5Wh4bWJ4wYHu27GtzVtA). Having enjoyed a Merry Edwards pinot noir at a restaurant, we made it on our list for a future wine tasting trip. We arrived for our 11am tasting reservations and we were met by Lori and the four of us were seated in a private room for our tasting. Lori was very informative and gave us a history of Merry Edwards and how she worked in the wine industry and eventually opened her winery, Merry Edwards. She is known as a pioneer in the wine country. We tasted four pinot noirs and a sauvignon blanc, a new varietal for the winery. Lori poured each pinot into the glasses in front of us. She had us taste each of the pinots. Then she asked us to eat a piece of cheese that was in front of us and taste the wine again. As she said, the taste of the wine helped soften up the pinots. Then she poured the sauvignon blanc to finish off our tasting. Not as dry as the usual sauvignon blanc and it had a nice light, sweet taste. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/merry-edwards-winery-sebastopol?select=Ja5Wh4bWJ4wYHu27GtzVtA#zmKVPG7GvY4GZW_AshwQZA) (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/merry-edwards-winery-sebastopol?select=Ja5Wh4bWJ4wYHu27GtzVtA#ndSb3fjctOYR_CoxPwgsJA) The one hour tasting experience was very informative and was an educational seminar. The pinots were just as delicious as I remembered when I had it at the restaurant. A great wine tasting experience. If you don't have a reservation for a private tasting, they do have walk-up tastings. read more

I love Merry Edwards Winery. I've visited this place on numerous occasions and always had such a pleasant experience. From the beautifully crafted Pinot Noirs to the ever popular Sauvignon Blanc, I'm a fan. In fact, it was the Sauvignon Blanc that brought me to this place many years ago because I was/am such a fan. In recent years my palate has changed a bit so I don't enjoy the rich Pinot Noirs from the Russian River Valley as much as I used to but, the ones at MEW are well crafted and super drinkable right away for those who love a little fruit in their glass. For me, the star of the show is the aforementioned Sauv Blanc. It's crisp, round (from the battonage) and such an elegant style that most aren't making in California. Check this place out after the COVID shenanigans, you'll be happy you did. Oh, and make sure to call head for an appointment. read more

I decided to visit this winery because I had read about the wine maker prior to coming to Sonoma. Unfortunately we were not impressed with the wine.

So on a Monday, a friend and I called to see if we could get into Merry Edwards. The person that answered the phone said no they were completely booked for that day, which seemed a bit odd since again it was a Monday. We were over wine tasting near there and we're on our way to another place and decided will maybe if we stop in maybe they would have a cancellation. As we pulled into the driveway we noticed no cars there and thought oh good maybe they are available. We walked up to the door and again, saw no one around and we were greeted by a women. I said hello and said we don't have a reservation but thought we just perhaps be able to come in for a quick tasting since no customers were there and the tables were empty. She stated that "oh no without a reservation and we couldn't come in and they were completely booked for the day and that there was no way they could give us a tasting". I was a bit take it back seeing how they could've just offered us a glass of wine and said sorry we don't have enough staff today or whatever the reason and we would've understood but she quickly dismissed us. I have always loved their wine and wanted my friend to be able to try it but the customer service was just not there that day so in good faith I can't recommend people go in there. We stopped at several other wine places that day without reservations, and all of them said well we could perhaps give you a glass of wine to try but without a reservation we can't give you a full tasting. That's the kind of service that they need to have especially in these times there's so many businesses are going out. I won't be back read more

One of the only wineries that offer a free tasting- and it's fabulous wine. We normally stop by every time we journey to the coast to pick up a few bottles. If you want an excellent wine tasting experience- call in to schedule one. They will spend time discussing the wines with you and you have the opportunity to sit with different glasses and compare the different selections they have next to each other. Love their Sauvignon Blanc and their late harvest. Although we have quite a few bottles of their Pinot Noir as well. Each region and year tastes a little different, so you'll have to try them out to see what you favor. They've always been warm and personable every time we've come for a visit. They have a resident cat who you'll see hanging around. The gardens in front are beautiful and welcoming. Enjoy! read more

***My winery/tasting room reviews are rated based upon many factors. First is QPR or quality to price ratio of the wine. In other words, is the wine priced according to how good it is. The second factor is the tasting room experience. This involves the staff, grounds and anything unique about the winery.*** Tasting room fee: FREE Wine price range: $29-$58 Setting the gold standard for tasting rooms in California is Merry Edwards. We made an appointment with Ron for a tasting. Upon arrival, we are ushered to a private room for a sit down tasting with Ron. It is just him and us. In front of us is a cheese plate, notepad and pen and six crystal glasses. Ron starts off with a history of the winery. He then goes to an easel with a large map and explains about the terrior. He talks about and points out the specific vineyards they source from. I feel like I am in a board meeting, but a fun one dealing with wine. Ron then proceeds to pour six different pinot noirs into each glass. He talks about each one as he pours. We taste and take notes. I do this without looking at the price sheet, I do not want this to influence my thoughts. We go through all the wines. I choose my favorite, then look at the price sheet. Damn palette, I choose the most expensive one as my favorite. I opt for purchasing a couple bottles, though I wanted to buy many more. This was a wonderful experience. For those learning about wine, this is a wonderful way to see how the same grape can differ so much when farmed from different vineyards. It is truly a unique experience. Ron is first class all the way, he is someone who loves what he does and loves sharing it with everyone. Why can't all tasting room experiences be like this? If you are in a large party, going from winery to winery to get buzzed, please avoid Merry Edwards. This place is intended for people looking to learn and discover. Sorry to sound like a snob, but oh well. This was the highlight of our tasting experience in the region. Their wines are limited in distribution, I have rarely seen them at select stores. They are also available at finer restaurants. This is one reason to buy what you can afford while you are here. They have a few picnic tables outside around a fountain. They are surrounded by flowers and their vineyards. A true A+ experience! read more

Unfortunately I didn't get as far as a tasting due to the incredibly hostile customer service and poorly delineated policies around reservations. I needed to modify a reservation to switch from terroir to a different tasting and was not able to per the website -- I needed to cancel it and make a new one. When I received a charge on my credit card for the cancelled tasting, I called to discuss the matter. The tasting room manager was so aggressively rude about my cancelled appointment that I didn't even have space to explain the situation. Not to mention, the cancellation policy on the website says nothing about charges for cancelled appointments. I tour wineries for a living and I have never experienced the absolute arrogance and rudeness as at this location. This places gives Sonoma county and Russian River wineries a bad name. read more
