Horrible experience the hostess was absolutely foul.. been twice, and the experience was poor both times... super unfortunate because it looks chic on the outside, but the customer service is trash... very similar to Ross dress for less ? read more

We visited Pangloss during our recent trip to Sonoma to celebrate our daughter's college graduation! Started our full day in town with the highly recommended and tasty food and wine pairings. They were magnificent! The icing on the cake was the first class attention and service provided by Dan! The atmosphere and decor was perfect for our party! Looking forward to our first wine shipment from Pangloss... read more

See all

Great wine. Fantastic interior. We loved the historical building. Very friendly service. Bought a bottle of the Pinot. Earthy and delicious. read more

Ethan was spectacular! I loved our tasting experience, and the tasting room in the heart of Sonoma is by far my favorite. I am a big fan of Repris, and love the similarities in the wines at Pangloss, but how approachable they are for a good table wine on a weeknight. My husband and I spent a solid 2.5 hours trying all they had to offer, and ending up joining their wine club, and can't wait to come back! read more

Friend & I went into Pangloss Cellars on the Sonoma Square. We were helped by Katie F. She was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and the wines were delicious. Definitely recommend if you visit Sonoma, visit Pangloss winery tasting room.. read more

Great wines and service - I wanted to try a flight but didn't like one of the wines so they customized to make it fit my preferences. They do not have food but brought a bread platter to help clean the pallet for a group of us tastinfg. I would recommend this to any wine lover. read more

Best tasting we had including those on our scheduled wine tour. We stopped in Sonoma on our wi e tour for lunch and ended up having the best tasting of the trip on our own time here! read more

I love this place. Great wine and many tasting options. Jason describes the wine in wine terms but than also in layman terms which we enjoyed. read more

Without a doubt the best food and wine pairing my wife and I have had. Logan and the team are incredibly knowledgeable. Eric (wine master) thought of everything down to the smallest detail. This was truly an unforgettable experience. A top recommendation. read more

Pangloss Cellars - The Sonoma crustini pairing was incredible - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Sonoma, California

I was unable to take a tasting at your Winery because your hostess couldn't find a place for six of us. However there were only four people in the entire building and you could not find a place for us to sit despite you having three couches and a whole other area that were available. Snob winery!! Thank you for your attitude because we found a great winery down the street at Victor Hill. VH was wonderful, great wine and awesome owner. The day we visited was 3/14/17. read more

Jason Vitkovich was our host and such generous with the tastes, really showed us all the amazing wine they make. Beautiful tasting room in the square. read more

Great experience! Logan was helpful, informative and funny. Great tasting wines with fun atmosphere. If you are in Sonoma check it out.

Sadly, we actually fell in love with this place when we visited. The people were lovely and the wine was good. We decided to hold my daughter's "welcome reception " at Pangloss, received a tour and relevant information. We were told EXPLICITLY no site fee, although a certain number of bottles would need to be aquired -perfect! When we received our quote from Ryan, there was a $1500 site fee. Neither Ryan nor hospitality manager Susie seemed to care AT ALL that we were told by two separate people in their firm that there would be no site fee. For me, it just comes down to integrity and standing by your word. read more

The inside was really pretty and well decorated. Logan was really friendly and taught us a lot about their wine. It was really fun and good. My taste for wine is sweet but their wine was not too sharp. read more

This is a perfect spot to taste. The wine is impressive, and truly special! The setting is lovely. Staff is fabulous and really knowledgeable. So glad we found this spot! Can't wait to come back. read more

We really enjoyed our tasting here. First, it has a terrific location in the Sonoma town square - it was extremely convenient. My husband an I enjoyed our tasting with Ethan. He was informative and friendly. Bottles were reasonably priced and the tasting room was lovely. We would highly recommend. read more

Pangloss has one of the most beautiful tasting rooms on the plaza in Sonoma! Their wines are stunning, the ambiance is unlike any other tasting room in Sonoma and the staff is always SO friendly and welcoming! read more

Great tasting room! Our waitress was so knowledgable and patient with us. She even gave suggestions for dinner and wrote them down. I would definitely recommend this place. We got the wine and food pairing, the summer in Sonoma. It was wonderful! She even gave us a few extra tastings. So nice! read more

Logan presented Joanne and I with wine flight tastings. Logan was great!

Visiting a wine room is out of the norm for us but we're very happy to have chosen Pangloss Cellars. The space is simply beautiful and has just the right amount of ambience for tasting some delightful wine. Our server Jerry was fantastic! He made our experience just awesome and willingly shared his knowledge of wine country with us. read more

My friend and I heard about this tasting room in a Fodor's guide. The Pangloss Tasting room is conveniently located off at the Square. The tasting room is nicely air conditioned, beautifully decorated and has a number of seating options including tables, a tasting bar and restoration hardware-like couch seating. Our wine guide Logan was well versed in the wines and took time to talk though each varietal in advance of our tasting. He was very friendly, had a good sense of humor and helped to suggest fall and spring shipment options. We highly recommend this tasting room! read more

Jeff, Meisha, Logan, and the rest of the tasting room staff are one the most hospitable groups you'll meet in Sonoma. I went in with preconceived notions, considering I was under-dressed for such a beautiful establishment, and was treated amazingly. The wines are uniquely made and sourced from some of the best vineyards in the Moon Mountain District. You would regret missing Pangloss Cellars during your visit. read more

Overpriced for tasting. Staff was friendly but, you cannot buy a decent bottle without a membership. Drive 20 minutes and you will have a much better experience. read more

Our host was was very nice and interesting to chat with. The wines were good and he provided suggestions for other tasting options around the square. We'll be back. read more

My first time here.....Wow! What an experience! Ivan was an extraordinary host. So happy we came here!

First of all, it's gorgeous. Ethan was our little wineo. He was so sweet and so much fun. For a group of 6 gals who have been drinking wine all weekend he made it so different and so fun. It is as my friends bachelorette party and everything was personalized and we had great compliments to our drinks. (Food wise) He totally kept control of the party in the best way with education of the wines and fun. Gorgeous atmosphere and fun stuff. Also love the bathroom! read more

I was not a big fan of this place, primarily due to customer service and price. The wines were on par with on-the-square tasting rooms in Sonoma, and were good but nothing overly special. We came with a group of 4 and did tastings and were planning to buy bottles of what we liked. First of all, the place was pretty packed, and we had to wait briefly for a spot at the bar, and there were no tables available, which shows a lot of people do like this place. I think they had food in the form of cheese and meat boards available, but we didn't order these so can't comment. The tasting fees were pricier than most places in Sonoma, at $20 per tasting. Our bartender seemed stressed and rushed the whole time and poured a different wine than I asked for and I kind of got the feeling he wanted me to just deal with it, but it was Merlot which I really don't like so he ended up dumping it and pouring what I had actually asked for. At the end, although I was planning to buy a bottle of one of the pinots, the bill would have been well over $70 for 2 tastings and 1 bottle of wine, so we ended up just paying for the tasting. The wine was decent and the place was cute, but there were several other places with equally delicious wines and much better customer service and price points that I would go to in a heart beat before coming back here again. read more

Amazing! Great wine, beautiful setting and the staff was so friendly and knowledge! Added bonus- the wine is at a great price point!

Everyone here is amazing. From Jeff to Mischa to Logan and everyone in between, you could immediately tell they wanted you to be here. It was a great feeling to be immediately welcomed and have a fabulous conversation with not only the staff behind the bar, but also the other guests - you could tell this was a result of the atmosphere and culture. This is a must-visit place place in Sonoma. Try the Monte Rosso :) read more

My husband and I came through Sonoma on our honeymoon and scheduled a cellar tasting. Although the cellar itself was unavailable for a private tasting due to renovations, the staff went out of their way to make sure we had a memorable and amazing experience. First shout out goes to Katie, who we never met, but who was very gracious and helpful in scheduling us. Second shout out to Ethan, Chief Optimist, who did our tasting once we were there. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging, and completely nerded out on wines with us, which is exactly what we love to do (yes, we're total dorks). All the wines were really good for their styles, even the ones we didn't personally love. We also appreciate the winemaker's efforts to make good wines accessible to everybody. We went home with a 2014 Sonoma Pinot Noir and a 2014 Cab Sauv. Go here for a regular tasting or reserve an cellar tasting - you won't regret it! read more

This was an awesome place and the wines were fabulous. My wife and I were there in August and Logan was great. We tried all of the wines and joined the optimist club. Can't wait for the wines to get here in the next few weeks!!!! read more

From the time you walk in and are greeted by the friendly staff to when you actually sit down and fully appreciate this amazing variety of wine....it's truly a special place to be... I just truly hope that they keep doing what they're doing and that they don't change...cuz it really works. read more

A beautiful spot to sit, relax, cool off and enjoy a tasting or a glass of some quality wines and the company of some friendly staff. Logan was knowledgeable and entertaining. read more
