Nice open and airy setting, which was very welcoming coming in off the street. They had a musician playing, which helped to draw us in, and there were tables outside where people were enjoying the beautiful weather. The interior was lovely with lots of seating. I paid for a tasting and enjoyed a flight of white wines. They were all very good. I definitely took some home with me. The wait staff were very knowledgeable about where the grapes were grown and kept us on top of our pours, wherever we sat, which was nice. They even served a little charcuterie board with some cheeses, which was great. read more

I came in on a Tuesday afternoon and was honestly blown away. I'm not usually a Syrah girlie, but wow, they totally changed my mind. Lovely staff and really terrific wines. I especially loved the GMS great price point and one of my current favorite wines! The best part of my experience was women working here they were absolutely delightful, so hospitable and generous, and truly made the experience memorable. We bought three bottles and will definitely be back for more! read more

The woman who took care of me, I believe her name was Becky, went above and beyond. I really enjoyed her hospitality. What drew me in initially, was the look of the place. It had a dark, funky atmosphere that would be fun for hanging out with friends. I did a solo tasting but would love to come back with friends some time. The wines weren't spectacular but still enjoyable to drink a great place in the Barlow to relax, hang and be taken care of read more

If you're looking for a quick escape from the city. PAX in Sebastopol is just far enough to feel like a getaway, but close enough for a spontaneous wine day. soulful, add this to your list. The space. It's not your typical tasting room. Think vintage vinyls, local art, warm lighting, and couches that make you want to stay awhile. I came with my family and accidentally ordered the whole menu. No regrets. We did three tasting flights. California Roadtrip, Sunset Noir, and Syrah is King. Each pour had a personality, and every sip was worth remembering We paired everything with their cheese and charcuterie board. Brie, sardines, figs, almonds, and crusty bread with whipped butter that we couldn't stop reaching for. Our server was the sweetest, and the whole experience just felt... Just good wine, good people, and a place you'll want to return to. read more

Fun sipping experience , go with the sparkling growler for a refreshing afternoon !!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for natural wines (carbonic maceration). I appreciate that PAX is mindful of green growing practices and minimal intervention wines. While I support organic and holistic farming practices, I will preface by saying that I do not enjoy natural wines. I personally prefer traditional fermentation (where the winemaker adds yeast to control the development of the wine) and so, my reviews are specifically regarding those wines that were made using traditional methods, as I did not drink those made with carbonic maceration. In order of personal preference, my favorite wines from the Classics and New California flights are: 2022 Chenin Blanc, Lyman Ranch 2022 Trousseau Gris, Fanucchi-Wood Road 2022 Pinot Blanc, Dutton Ranch 2020 The Vicar, Grenache-Mourvedre 2020 Syrah, Grizzly Peak The tastings were overpriced ($80 for 2 tastings), but the ambience is nice. read more

Okay, can I just say- I love this place! This is a nice little tasting room within The Barlow and they have some interesting tasting, and sustainably produced wines. Their wines are produced with minimal processing. We have visited here on a few occasions, the most recent after the sip and stroll event. Dawn was great! She was super friendly and helpful. She's just good people, great conversation and knowledgeable. Aside from what's been stated already, the tasting room itself is such a pleasure to visit. It's very trendy rustic, country classy charm. This is a great spot to grab a glass of wine or two or a flight! I definitely recommend if you're in the Sebastopol area. read more

Pax was everything! On our recent girl's weekend in Sebastopol, we lucked up on walking into Pax. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Wine was delicious, ambiance was chill and our server was amazing. We'd been to a large vineyard the day before and did not love the experience. Pax made up for it all! Thank you to our server (I cannot recall her name but she was awesome) for being so knowledgeable about what she served and giving us generous pours. Our visit at Pax made our trip that more memorable. Please keep up the great work! read more

Becky was our host and she did a wonderful job guiding us through tasting some great local wines. We had a wonderful time and the atmosphere was terrific. A cool spot in Sebastopol. read more

Pretty cool space in the Barlow! Went on my own for a tasting/tour including charcuterie board, which was one of the best. Delicious cheeses, fig jam, olives. Definitely too much for one person! But no complaints here at all. Pretty extensive offering of reds and whites. Tried several and ended up with Pinot Blanc, Gamay Noir and one of the Syrah's. First time trying Trousseau Gris! Attentive service! Tour is fairly short and is mainly looking around the area where they have the tanks and barrels but interesting nonetheless! Really nice spot if you are looking for a cool wine tasting experience! read more

Place Rocks - Love the wines, true creativity with a deft hand. Pax, Joilie-Laide, and the several other co-working wineries are the Very Current Class of Brilliant winemakers experimenting with what I call Outlier grape varietals- less known however you see them on wine lists and most often the best most fascinating wines of any menu. I love a good Cab sure, but a Mourvèdre/ Grenache wine with depth and complexity is wayyyyyyyyyyy more interesting. Tonight I ran across the smiling very knowledgeable service of Julie, Josh, Lance and all the happy customers- truly bizarre to be amongst these people at below 50 F, more than chilly. Brought my stressful week to the perfect end. Slainte!! read more

They had a nice outdoor space for the tastings, very chill environment. The tasting wasn't as "information forward" as one would expect but if you asked, the server provided the details. Unfortunately, they messed up our take home order and even forgot the shipment order which was an incredible bummer on both fronts. Disappointing. read more

Pax Wines - Pax Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Sebastopol, California

I love the relaxed energy at the winery and wine tasting room that is Pax Wines. One of many wine specific establishments located in the Barlow, which is a shopping, dining and drinking complex located in Sebastopol, California. With roll-up garage doors that immediately greet visitors, indoor seating featuring marble topped counters, bistro tables and chairs, and comfy leather sofas, as well as outdoor seating for those who want a little sun, Pax Wines is welcoming to all who come. I had come to the Barlow complex with a couple friends who wanted to enjoy a weekend of lazily walking around and sitting with a few glasses of wine and Pax Wines was one of the many stops we would make this summer afternoon. After seeing they had their sofa open and available for seating, we were down to peruse their menu and enjoy a few glasses of vino. One of the first things we noticed is that they have plenty of staff at Pax Wines, ready to present us with said menus as we sat, as well as plenty of staff members behind their counter ready to take the orders of anyone who approached. The wine list menu at Pax Wines is filled with wines sourced from vineyards located locally in Sonoma County as well as from nearby Mendocino County, and they are sold by the glass and the bottle, and they have a couple of wines sold on tap as well. When asking our tasting room associate their recommendations, I opted for a six ounce glass pour of their 2020 Syrah from The Bench Vineyard located in Clement Hills, aged in French Oak, with aromas of plums and violet, this medium bodied wine had a subtle peppery kick. My friend opted to order a six ounce glass pour of their 2019 Gamay Noir which is sourced from the Sonoma Coast. My wine cost 10 dollars for a glass, while my friend's wine cost 13 dollars for a glass, and our total bill with tax and tip was a reasonable 28 dollars for two generous pours of wine. We were never rushed as we sipped and chatted for over an hour at Pax Wines. Obviously, a return visit is a must for Pax Wines as the vibe which is enhanced by the vinyl tunes playing on their turntable, this may be the perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon sitting around, napping and then sipping some more. With tasting flights for those who make just one stop at the Barlow or wines by the bottle for couples or wines by the glass for individuals, the wines sold here have a nice balanced finish without overloading your senses. With additional selections of local cheese, charcuterie and even tinned seafood such as sardines and octopus, one would feel that you're enjoying a wine pairing in the narrow streets in Europe, instead you're in a modern warehouse district of Sebastopol, California! read more

We visited Pax Winery for a seated tasting. The presentation and preparation was good -- we were all quite pleased. The inside of the tasting room is super cool -- very hip and definitely different than your standard winery. Loved the decor. I wasn't blown away by the wines, but they just were not my style. Nevertheless, if you're interested in a hip place to taste some nice Syrahs, give them a shot. read more

What a fun little gem! My friend and I were walking around the Barlow trying to decide what to do with our day. We stopped by this winery and they were able to seat us right away! We were sold. We did the basic tasting (I don't remember what it was called but it's the first one listed). Every wine was amazing! The entire staff was awesome and kept tabs on us the entire time. The only thing that was kind of funny/weird, it comes with a complimentary charcuterie plate. However, it is just one cheese and 2 types of meat. When we first saw it we were like "Oh, they must do like a pairing with each wine". Nope, that's all you get. It was our mistake for not understand and that cheese goes REALLY well with the first wine so I can't complain but others should know! All in all, we had a great time and enjoyed some amazing wines we had never heard of. read more

Pax Wines - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Sebastopol, California

This is my first time at Pax wines and I honestly didn't expect much because we were just strolling around the Barlow and wanted to find a place to sit and maybe some drinks while waiting to get to our dinner reservation later. I was hoping that they would have more food selections but reality check... we are still in the middle of the pandemic and this is already refreshing to be out and about so I can't complain much. My husband ordered us some wine and a small plate item. The chorizo was pretty good + the crackers from Rustic Bakery has always been my fave and they paired well with our Rosé. The outdoor seating was pretty comfortable but it could get a little chilly so we moved to indoor seating area later. The staff members were super nice and attentive. Our waitress was hilarious and patient with us. We had a couple more glasses before heading out to dinner. I'm a foodie but I'm not a wine expert so I let someone else in charge of ordering alcohol for me but all I could say is that everything I had tasted wonderfully awesome and I don't normally say much about drinks ;) Would def come back if we are in the area again! Oh BTW, check out some artworks on the walls and they had some available for sell as well! read more

A few of us went up for the weekend and Pax was on our list. The service was great as we sat at the bar. We all really loved the artwork; If we could afford it we would've bought some. It was a first time for me to try the wine and I was pleasantly surprised. I left with a buzz and a bottle, lol. The whole neighborhood is very cool, new and hip. We'll be back! read more

This place has a real "Cowboy" wine vibe to it. It reminds me a bit of Stolpman (which also makes Syrah) in the Santa Barbara region. Rugged, laid back, not too serious, but good wine. The wine is also reasonably priced and even the non-single vineyard Syrahs are great for the price (the North Coast and Sonoma Coast). The tasting room itself is ok. The snacks are overpriced and the service could be better. I was a little unimpressed by the Barlow in general. But the wine is good, and that's what counts. read more

Our Airbnb host recommended Pax as a good local winery with biodynamic practices. Their tasting room fits in nicely with the other hip shops and restaurants in The Barlow. Dog friendly with comfortable looking outdoor couch seating, and roll-up garage doors bring the outside into their inviting indoor space as well. We shared a tasting and found two bottles to bring home with us which waived the fee. Small snacks available as well. The cheese board and crackers was quite the spread. Service was on the slow side, but we weren't in a hurry. Staff was pleasant. Tunes were good. A nice place to relax with some wine on a nice day. read more

My review is NOT about the wine, or the tasting room - I love Pax wines and visiting their space. I've been here a few times and this time we brought friends, and I came with the intention of becoming a member. Sadly we did not sign up - and did not love our time here because our server was miserable. He seemed annoyed from the beginning, invested no time in talking about the wines and made us all feel incredibly unwelcome. read more

Great time here trying a tasting and sitting in the comfortable couch area. The representative who shared her knowledge w us during the tasting was wonderful I wish I had her name to share here! We ended up leaving two bottles we were quite excited to try. Unfortunately they were loaded up in a bag that wasn't quite strong enough and the bottles ended up slipping out through the bottom and breaking on the street! I recommend bringing your own bag. read more

Been with these guys since they were Wind Gap before but now Pax. Such a cool atmosphere here and perfect local place for my wife and I to come to- even living so close , it still always feels like awesome, special get away/date night/hangout spot. Lucky to have a spot like this in Sebastopol.. the live music as well as vinyl selection you can choose from to play something is a fun addition and great. The wine was great from Wind Gap, and now it's great from Pax as well, but a special shout-out to those who work in the location . A perfect crew, attractive personalities and fantastic personal service . They make us feel like VIP members every time . Madeline/Andrew/Alicia (in no particular order)keep it up ... you are why we come back ! read more

Had the worst experience here. Anyone who thinks someone that can't afford the tab is rude. Five of us went to wine taste... and 2 of us left the bar. And we were accused of leaving and not paying our tab. First off. One was smoking and one was using the rest room. Super disrespectful and rude . If your think - 5 women in Sonoma county can't pay a $100 bar tab, you have us messed up. A really rude assumption. Good luck to your bar .. read more

Least favorite wine tasting of our trip. $40 for a flight of very small pours that were supposed to come with small bites but didn't. Service was overly lax and on par with being served by a random bartender at a restaurant. Sparkling wines come in growlers instead of bottles so can't be traveled with if visiting from out of town. With so many wineries to choose from, why bother? read more

A wonderful tasting room, especially if it is hot! They have garage doors that open on two sides of the building, so you get a lovely breeze. They have three different tasting options, as well as a selection of snacks. Tasting fee is waived with two bottle purchase. Their wines are mostly Rhone style, and they have gorgeous labels.

Loved it here! Had the rose and not only was it beautiful but it was delicious. Can't wait to come back, super dog friendly

The first time I went to PAX I signed up immediately for their wine club. The wines they had at the time were so delicious and it was a great deal. However, since their wines change frequently (which is fun and exciting) I feel like if I can't swing by and do a tasting first I don't know what to order as my allotment. One star has been removed because I seem to always have a problem with getting my allotment there but it not counting--it might be me, but I also always get a new server when I go in and I was constantly confused about their wine club. read more
