I liked the various spaces in this place. It's a tasting room, that makes pizza. It's also a cute market with an amazing selection of local cheeses, the prefect crackers, and bougie snacks to create your own picnic experience while wine tasting. Lots of gourmet finds to bring home too. Think all things that pair nicely with wine including some awesome cheese boards. We ordered a sandwich, calamari, and a pizza. The arugula pesto on the sammy was very tasty, and the pizza was decent - to be fair we had just eaten at a really amazing pizza place the night before so hard not to compare. My BF ordered a glass of Barbera and loved it. I enjoyed a small batch ginger ale to help recover from sipping too much wine the day prior.

I went here recently for lunch and all I have to say is that I love this place! While I've been…read morehere before and had their wine, our most recent trip here we just had lunch. Their wines are amazing so it's a great place to visit and easy to Uber to if you are drinking or to add to a list of places on a wine tour for the day. The service is exceptional and their food is so delicious. The ambience is relaxing and inviting. They also have gelato if you come on a warm day. I love their paninis and they have wood fired pizzas. The food here is all so delicious. Love everything about this place and love that it's a family owned winery. Highly recommend to all.

Stopped by VJB Cellars in Kenwood during a wine country day trip with my buddy. The place feels…read morepretty touristic and, honestly, a bit overpriced for what you get. Some staff members were friendly, but a few struggled to explain the products (cheeses), when we had questions. The backyard area is nice and relaxing, with plenty of parking available from two sides, which was a plus. Seating is fairly basic though with mostly standard metal tables and chairs, nothing special. What stood out the most was the service. The team was pleasant, attentive, and made us feel welcome. Overall, an okay experience, but probably not a spot I'd rush back to.

I did the mountain top tasting about a year ago and there was something new about the experience this time which I appreciated. New this time was the dark chocolate pairing with the Moon Mountain, which was delicious. Thank you Sally for your warm hospitality. Loved all the wines and the charcuterie board at the top of the mountain. Brought my friend who has never been here and she loved it. We both walked out with one of my favorites, the Magnolia Lane Sauvignon Blanc which is not on the tasting menu but Sally was so kind to give us a splash.

Chateau St. Jean was the venue of my good friend Sarah's wedding on 06/14/2025. This beautiful…read morewinery is located in the small town of Kenwood, which is on the north end of the Sonoma Valley. The history of this winery can be traced back to the 1920s, when a rich mining family moved west from Michigan and purchased the land where it sits on. The winery business actually started in the 1970s by several businessmen from the San Joaquin Valley. 50+ years later, it remains one of the more recognizable names in the NorCal wine industry. I got here with my buddy David A. and his wife at around 4:15pm. The first thing that struck me was the tranquility. I was dealing with a major protest in my city that morning, so the peacefulness was truly appreciated by me. Aside from that, nature's beauty was on full display. The sky was blue, the hills were green, and the temperature was a perfect 72F. Sarah couldn't have asked for a better day to have her wedding! The ceremony was held in a covered area near the chateau, with seating set up for 100-150 guests. After the ceremony, a pre-reception cocktail party was held in the courtyard area. After about an hour or so, the dinner reception was held under the giant palm tree. The food and service for the entire event were fantastic. From appetizers to main course to desserts, the food was well prepared and delicious. Service provided by the staff was friendly and attentive. There were a couple minor hitches during the reception, but they resolved them quickly. Chateau St. Jean is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area. As a non-drinker, I don't know enough about their wine to have an opinion on their quality, but I think you will really enjoy the serene setting.

From the very beginning, Ashley made the planning process fun, easy and was an amazing planner and communicator. On the night of the event, we were warmly greeted and the service was flawless. Every staff member was so attentive and made our guests feel incredibly welcome, kept the food flowing and the drink menu was fantastic! The space was beautiful and the ambiance struck the exact right balance of festive and intimate. The food was unbelievably delicious, creative and abundant! From the incredible mozzarella bar with fava-leaf pesto to the passed english pea arancini and every bite in between, guests were raving. Hosting a pre-wedding event can be stressful, but every member of the team including the amazing chef, took care of every little detail, allowing us to just relax and celebrate with our family and friends. Thank you to the entire staff for helping us kick off such a magical wedding event! We cannot recommend this restaurant enough and look forward to dining here again very soon!

It has the wonderful wood fired flavor, while goes well with the olive, fig sauce. Bravo. I took 0.5 off from the desserts. We had the chocolate cherry cake.
