I was skeptical about this winery when I saw it from outside. I don't want to judge the book by its cover and decided to give it a try. Very friendly staff, the guy who was helping me was extremely knowledgeable about the wine regions, soil, aging and any other question I asked about their wines. Sorry bro, can't recollect your name so using a description so that it might help folks to come to you, he is a middle aged, slightly overweight person with the glasses. Quick Tip: IMHO, their Zins are the best. read more

Love !!! Pedroncelli wines! Family run, not pretencious what so ever, consistently high quality wines very fairly priced. Now about the previous nasty review from B.D. Well, clearly the industry guy bases the quality of Pedroncelli winery on one encounter with a former employee in the tasting room. I don't think that speaks to the wine itself or the rest of the family who have all been nothing short of warm and friendly with me all the times I've visited. And why would you bother to ask for a discount on a $18 bottle of pinot which you consider already a steal?!? Give me a break. The present tasting room manager, Jon Brown, is the nicest guy I've met in all my tasting experiences in the greater Sonoma Valley area. Just saying, keep it in perspective. read more

Fun little winery with a great seating area to picnic for lunch. There's also a bocce court and a good sized tasting room. Ended up with a nice port. They had some good zins so we'll be back to try their wines again. read more

We did a tasting here on a tour. I really did not like any of the wines, although they are reasonably priced. The setting was ok.

On our Barrel tasting weekend, we stopped in at this winery, as we thought it out of the way, and hadn't had their wines. The folks there were very nice. One of the Zins , a 2001, on sale for 8.00 per bottle was too good to pass up. but I have to say, aside from Foppiano, I have never seen a more Tacky tasting room in my life. All I can say is they are folks who have been in the area for Decades, and then some, and much respect for that! read more

Pedroncelli Winery - Wineries Near Me - Geyserville, California

Pedroncelli is definitely the best value winery in the region! Their wines are all very affordable as is the tasting fee of $5. To be quite honest, I expected the wines to be subpar since the prices were so good, but was blown away! As explained to me by the lovely tasting room staff, Pedroncelli wines are meant to be shared with dinner and lots of friend and family. The Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and $12 blend were superb. I also enjoyed tasting wines with so much history behind them, and the view of the 100 year old Zinfandel vines by the tasting room. Pedroncelli is definitely going to be one of my go to wineries when in the area! read more

My husband and I recently visited this winery this past weekend and it was by far one of our favorite stops. The staff was attentive, friendly and eager to answer questions. My husband is a big fan of port (which isn't always easy to find in tasting rooms) and we were lucky enough to try the 2011 Vintage Port. Not only are the wines delicious, but incredibly affordable too! We joined the wine club and brought home three delicious wines for about $50! read more

Good zin, good pinot for the price. Friendly people outside of the tasting room (which is not many people). Went here on Passport weekend with my girlfriend and was completely ignored at the bar. I have to say that I work in the industry and I have never been treated so badly by any tasting room staff. It's all about customer service!! Very chaotic and unorganized. It also seemed as if every person pouring was over 90 years old. Now there is nothing wrong with age except when I have to repeat my questions about the pinot 5 times because the gal didn't have her hearing aid in. My biggest issue and the main reason I gave 1 star was because of the tasting room manager Shirley. This lady has no idea what she is doing and I am not to sure how she even became a tasting room manager. From the very get go she was arguing with all of her staff members about a particular cash registrar issue in front everyone at the tasting bar. Very strange and uncomfortable for everyone there. We even moved spots in the tasting room because we didn't want to listen to the bickering. When I decided to purchase a bottle of Pinot ($18 per bottle, which is a steal) I asked if they gave an industry discount. Shirley didn't look at me, snickered, shook her head, and said no. Now I really don't care if I don't get my industry discount, but it was the way she said no to me. I just couldn't believe the attitude that she had. Clearly the owners need to make a change in the tasting room management. I will no longer be recommending this winery to any of my clients until she is gone or until I get an apology from her. Like I said...it's all about the customer service!! read more

Sadly, I've never been to this winery, so my review is more about their wine. I've been ordering Pedroncelli wines online for a couple of years now, and they've quickly become favorites. The quality-price-ratio really can't be beat! The Mother Clone Zinfandel is my top choice, but I enjoy all the reds from this winery, including the Merlot (which is saying a lot, because I'm not a Merlot drinker). The Sangiovese is also top notch, along with their Cabs. If you have a chance to buy any of these wines, go for it! You won't regret it! read more

Wow, I never knew Dry Creek wines could taste so mediocre. It's really unfortunate, given that they sit in a prime grape growing region and accessible location. Their wines are priced accordingly and I don't remember a wine selling for more than $20 in the tasting room. I'm guessing these guys can stay in business by selling a lot of "value" wines to restaurants. I imagine there is a lot of potential here, but it would take a change in management and winemaker to turn things around. read more

Very nice & friendly staff. The facilities are very small and simple. The wines are not that impressive. Not worth the drive, unless you are in the area already and have a Visa signature card. read more

A lesser travel winery to visit in Dry Creek. They have a nice lineup: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Port wine (with traditional Portuguese Port varietals: Tinta Madeira, Tinta Cao, Touriga Nacional, and Souzao--be sure to try and it is a very good price point. read more

This was a good overall experience. It just so happened we didn't like that many of their wines but we will come back to try again. The server was pleasant and his knowledge was there. The tasting room was also pleasant. The pricing was mid-range. read more

Our third trip to Pedroncelli in 26 years and we are never disappointed. Our tasting room hostess, Shirley was outstanding and made us feel like we were visiting family. Their wines are excellent and the atmosphere is worth coming to this somewhat off the path jewel. read more

My girlfriend and I went on a wine tour of wineries around the Healdsburg area last July. We went to 5 wineries, and although all of them were very good, some were better than others. Pedroncelli was one of them. The winery is very scenic outside and inside it's very spacious. They have a barrel room in the back where much of the wine is aged: very nice to look at while you are sipping on the wine. We bought a bottle of the 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon. It was one of the best wines we tasted during our stay in CA wine country. Unfortunately when we opened the wine a month or two later, we found that the cork had gone bad. This is not a bad reflection on the winery, it is just something that happens with corks. We contacted the winery about it and they were kind enough to replace it for us! But then....bad luck again. The shipment never got to us even though we had a shipping confirmation. So they shipped again to only have it break in shipment. So we contacted the winery again.....they were super patient and more than happy to try again. This time it got to us! And the wine? It was worth the wait. Really a well run establishment with very good wine. read more

My mom and I went out wine tasting for her birthday today and this place was on her list. I live in Sonoma county and my parents are staying at their time share in Windsor, which also allows them free wine tasting at certain places and this happened to be one of them. We pulled up and the view was gorgeous and the tasting room looked promising. We walked in and right off the bat I noticed that it smelled like there was a sewage leak. This isn't what bothered me. The tasting bar was about halfway full and there was one woman manning the counter so we decided to look around the gift shop. After a couple minutes she says "I set you guys up over here" like we were wasting her time. My mom mentioned to her that we were staying at their time share and the woman sighed and rolled her eyes and said we could pick five for a complimentary tasting. My mom had chosen this place because it's advertised as having a nice Sangiovese which wasn't listed. She started to ask about it and the woman just walked away from her. She was incredibly rude to us and acted like we were an inconvenience to her by being there, so we walked right out without a word from her. I'm sure this place is lovely and other pourers are well worth it, and I'm giving it two stars instead of one because the property and the tasting room are gorgeous. But based off of our experience, we will not be returning to this winery again. read more

Now were talking! This is exactly what we wanted! Good wine. A wide selection and you can pick and choose what you want to try. Wine tasting is literally free if you buy a bottle and the bottles are very reasonably priced. The wine club is a no brainer. We got some amazing photos here. The people make you feel like family. Oh my, I'm a Fan! read more

This tasting room has a few of things going for it. It is very well-priced. Only $5.00 to taste and refunded if you buy a bottle. The workers were very friendly and personable. But, they were the smallest pours I have ever received in my life. It wasn't even really enough to taste the wine, just a tiny trickle. We didn't buy because I couldn't discern if I liked the wine. I don't expect big pours these days, especially for the low price. But, I would like enough of a pour to really taste the wine. We were out of there in about 8 minutes because the pours were so teeny tiny. If they figure out how to give a bit more in a pour it would probably be a great place to taste. read more

This is a nice family-owned place. They treated us with great kindness. And their big bottle of port is $18. And goes splendidly with truffles. read more

We had a GREAT time at Pedoncelli. Their wines are very good and reasonably priced as well. The winery was nice and a good sized tasting room that included some retail therapy! ;-) Jon was a great host - friendly and knowledgeable and just a cutie pie (sorry, Jon!). We also picniced here and that was very nice too. I would definitely recommend a stop at Pedroncelli! Cheers! read more

The people there are so nice and hospitable. I tried so many varietals. I thought they were easy drinkin. The cab and sangiovese were the best. The chocolate truffle and port tasting was quite tasty! read more

Pedroncelli Winery is a great place to stop! The staff are very knowledgeable about the wine. If you purchase a bottle of wine, the wine tastings are free. The wine tasting itself is only 5 dollars, a deal you can't beat! Very satisfied with our experience at this Winery. read more

Came here with a large group of friends. The tasting room manager, Jon, was the best. very personable. he spent time talking to each one of us, gave us tips for our next tasting trip. recommended other wineries to go to, and even called around FOR us to where they could take our group. lots of wineries have good wines. very few nice people. even fewer have good service. this place had GREAT people and EXCELLENT service. read more

Well, if anyone read the review just before this one... I was the host of the group of 10 rowdy friends! It was the last stop of 5 vineyards on my 30th bday and I could NOT have asked for a more accommodating/tolerating wine tasting room!! Jon from Pedrocelli was absolutely TIP TOP and shared more about wine with us than we could have ever asked for! Not to mention.... I'm pretty sure they tolerated us a bit longer than closing time! The wine was fantastic, the hosts were fantastic.... And this stop will for sure go down as one of the best (if not THE best) of our two day tour in the Dry Creek Valley! Don't miss it! read more

I LOVE this winery. Been meaning to stop in here for some time now and so glad I finally did! This charming winery has terrific wines, great staff and a history that makes them proud to be winemakers. Such enthusiasm and great hospitality, this is now in my top 2 list of wineries to take family and friends. The port is fabulous - ask for the chocolates - great pair! read more

Definitely recommend stopping in. Reds are my wines and the Pinot was smooth, light, and nice finish. Petite Sirah medium body with plumy beginning and a hint of spice in the finish. The Port was sweet but just the right amount of sweetness. Service was wonderful and the dark chocolate topped off the tasting! read more

Pedroncelli Winery - View from the tasting room! - Wineries Near Me - Geyserville, California

Not much for scenery but the wines were good. Decent pricing and great customer service. They waived both tasting fees for a bottle of wine. Even though it says only one is waived, they were very generous. A recommended stop if new to the area. We will definitely be back next time we're in Dry Creek. read more

Been here a few times with friends and have always been impressed. Jon was a delight in the tasting room, he really went above and beyond to explain things to us and make our day more enjoyable. Jon even took us into the Barrel room which was a nice surprise :) Definitely reccommend this place, we will be going back to have lunch there and a few games of bocce ball. read more

My group of 10 rowdy friends stopped into Pedroncelli as the last stop of a long day of wine tasting. Boy, are we glad we did! Although we snuck in close to closing time, the staff was extremely accomodating. Jon was particularly engaging - was fun, and knew a lot about the wine! All the wines were fantastic - and extremely affordable! After two full days of wine tasting, Pedroncelli was a favorite of the group! I highly recommend! (and again, would like to thank Jon and Pedroncelli for such great accomodation late in the day last Friday!) read more

The servers were the best of the trip so far. Very fun and hospitable. Wines are very nice and some amazing deals as well. A must stop if you're this far north. read more

What a fabulous experience!!! This ended up being our first stop after heading to Frick and it was closed...and what a pleasant surprise! A group of us were in wine country for my 50th and Jon made our day! Such a comfortable tasting room, not stuffy! Really great wines and Jon made us all feel so welcome and was so knowledgeable! Great wines, great prices, great atmosphere!!! This is a MUST stop!!! read more

After 4 days of trolling through wine country we came upon Petroncelli. You would think after all of that wine tasting it would have dulled our senses, but not in this case. Every wine we tasted seemed special and wonderfully unique in its own way. Really loved the Zin and the Port, but most attonishing was I bought their dry rose of Zin. This is not your grandmothers rose (which I can't drink). The staff was a wonderful as everyone has said. The hospitality can't be beat. read more

This is my favorite place to bring my friends and family. The service is wonderful, they tell you about the wines while they pour them for you, (I love to learn about the wines, that is half the fun). I highly recommend you check them out. They have a super lovely sauv blanc, and literally the best port ON EARTH, I love port and I am kind of picky about them, but their ruby port will blow your mind...make sure to drink it with a piece of chocolate!!! read more

My wife hit several wineries today and I must say the trip to Pedroncelli was outstanding. We always love the wineries where we can go one-on-one with an experienced wine-tender. Gina worked with us and what a knowledgeable salesperson. The wine was extraordinary and the prices were very reasonable. My wife, who loves reds really enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc and we both loved the Vintage Port. Just a great place. read more

I went to this winery as the second in a day of tasting. We were kind of a large group of ladies (bachelorette party) and they were very accomodating. The people were very nice and Jon the tasting manager was very friendly and informative. He made sure that we tasted things that we would like and helped us find things maybe we weren't sure we would like. He answered questions I didn't even know I had about wine and the difference between certain wines. It's evident that he loves what he does, it made our visit extra special. He allowed us to explore where the wine is kept and even take pictures. He also gave our (pregnant) designated driver a bottle of wine for after the baby is born. Definitely a must visit when you're in wine country! read more

Wine club members for over six years now, and absolutely LOVE them! Highly recommend visiting and joining Pedroncelli!!

I work in wine in Healdsburg (I'm a winemaker) and I stop at Pedroncelli every month or two to stock up. Jon is a great tasting room manager, a nice guy and a wonderful resource. They offer a wide variety of wines at incredibly competitive prices. They're probably the only winery left that will make a quality, dry rose and sell it for only $10. So, I buy virtually all of my daily-drinking wines here. Also, I couldn't imagine a better way to spend a day than bringing a picinc and half a dozen friends, buying a case of Friends.Red (only $108, I think) and playing Bocce ball on Pedroncelli's patio. read more

One of my favorite wineries! If I ever need to buy a lot of wine for an special occasion or party, I'm definitely going here. Consistently good wines at bargain basement prices. You will not find a better deal at a winery in Sonoma or Napa. A friendly tasting room doesn't hurt either. read more

I went back to Pedroncelli last weekend and was still impressed. Jon Brown helped us again and was so charming. Great wine, great energy. My mom loved the Port (its one of the few places in the area with Port). They have red blend called "Friends" that very good and only $10. Perfect bottle to have when hosting a dinner party. We also bought some of their Rose. The tastings are free. Definitely recommend it. read more

What a lovely before-noon tasting. Lizzy was personable and knowledgeable, teaching us about each wine as well as the Italian history of the founding family. My husband thought it too early to taste but he loved the bocce court and the surrounding vineyards. The wines were excellent and reasonably priced, enticing me to join the wine club that only obligated us for one year, 12 wines. There is a real sense of heritage here, along with pride in their product. read more
