Really great and thoughtfully crafted wine tasting experience in a beautiful setting. We did the…read moremost basic tasting which came with a chef created bite and a tour to the wine cave. The tasting took place in the tasting room which had floor to ceiling windows looking out at the vineyard, then we strolled past the garden, into the cave, and back to the tasting room. The property is absolutely gorgeous, both the buildings and the views. Reservations are required as the tastings are very intimate with one person from the tasting team assigned to each group. We were helped by Rachel who had a plethora of knowledge, it was actually amazing how much she knew. The tasting menu had four wines, but we did get to try some additional pours that were open, including fun side-by-side comparisons. The wines were good, but my favorites were on the pricey side, so unfortunately I didn't bring any home with me.

The place was slow on a Sunday 2pm. So we ordered a couple glasses of wine. The rose was too hot in terms of alcohol. Roussanne was decent. The pours were skimpy with no more than 4 ounces. It seemed they prefer a tasting at $45 per person rather over us purchasing a full bottle.

The drive was not too bad, some very narrow roads, but not too far from town. Tour started when we arrived and lasted about 1.5 hrs. Our guide was excellent. Very friendly, informative, and took fantastic pictures of us. No wine pours during the tour, but you end with a seated tasting of 4 wines with a great view. Normal size pours and they allow revisits. The wine menu is very small, the 4 wines you tasted is all that is available but their all high quality. It's a small production winery that specializes in chardonnay and pinot noir. No outside food and they don't serve food either

Could not have better things to say about Hanzell Vineyard! My husband and I were hosted by Ursula…read moreto tour the grounds, see their production equipment, hear about their wine making process, see their wine cellar, and enjoy a tasting of their wines overlooking the vines. Hanzell is a boutique winery with a unique process to keep their wines natural and the best quality. We loved that they take pride in showing guests every stage of their process. We tasted some of their Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, and Cab as well as heard about their different label types. Ursula went above and beyond in taking care of us which made our time at Hanzell that much better.

It's members only (plus entourage) and we were able to enjoy a bites pairing with our wine tasting on their hacienda. Upon checking in, we were given a complimentary "splash" (it was more than that) of their rosé of pinot noir, then shown to our table. The grounds are gorgeous- it feels very secluded and the design and layout was spectacular. We were served by Fran, who was so knowledgeable and had some super cool tattoos that my friends and I were in awe of. We tried the sylvaner, chardonnay, syrah, and pinot noir. The light bites were delicious as well and were filling for our group of 5! They brought out a salad with rosemary roasted almonds, anchovy vinaigrette, fried olives, blistered shishito peppers, green beans and gigante beans, and toast with roasted tomatoes, dill, basil, and a cheese(?). Everything was so fresh and such a delicious pairing with our drinks. We also got a splash of their vermuth at the end. We were told that Scribe acquired some of the property next door so they'll be focusing on estate wine creation. This was such a delightful experience and I'd love to return to check out the small shop they have onsite (it was closed when we visited). Thanks Scribe!

I can honestly say this was probably the BEST winery experience I've had in wine country. I've done…read morea few wine tastings around the area and nothing compared to this! My girls and I went for my best friend's birthday and we honestly had such a wonderful time. When you call and inquire they tell you that non-members can only book on weekdays, so my girls and I made a reservation on a Friday. You pay up front for the total amount of people, which also includes tax and service tip, so when you arrive on the day of your reservation, no payment whatsoever is needed! It was $85, and with tax and service fee it came out to $111 each. When my girls and I arrived, we were greeted by a host named, Justin. She was immensely warm and inviting, basically sunshine in a person, and made us feel so welcome and comfortable!! She poured us a welcome glass of rose, and my girls and I were able to walk around the property (which was truly stunning) with our glasses. When we were seated, we were served rosemary almonds, and our server came up and introduced the history of the venue, as well as the menu, and wine. The menu was set, and it was absolutely incredible. This was the first time I felt as though this experience included an actual MEAL rather than an array of small bites or a small charcuterie platter: 1. fried olives 2. tomatoes and cucumbers with whipped feta (MY FAVORITE) 3. Prosciutto, melon and basil 4. Braised butterbeans with SCRIBE olive oil 5. House-made flatbread (so delicious) The wine was amazing, of course. We received about 4 glasses of 3 oz pours, which was enough for us. The Chardonnay was definitely my favorite. If you're ever in the Sonoma area, I HIGHLY recommend making a reservation you honestly WILL NOT REGRET IT.

Instead of tasting at their property, which they no longer had, we tasted in their chardonnay cellar/production facility before their official move into downtown Sonoma. This made for a fun experience getting to see the barrel room and even try some barrel samples! Patz & Hall does chardonnay, pinot, and bubbles. I'm not sure how many different sparkling wines they offer, but they do have a good variety of both chards and pinots. The tasting menu had two of each when we were in, but they had some extras of each open so we did get to try a little more variety. We were helped by Jonny who gave great hospitality, had wonderful knowledge of the winery, and even gave us some good dinner recs! Not my favorite wines of the trip, but everyone in the group liked it enough to go home with at least one bottle of wine!

We were so grateful to still be able to experience our wine tasting here. Leane reached out to us prior to our visit and let us know what to expect on the day of our tasting and asked if we had any dietary restrictions. The hospitality at Sangiacomo Family Wines is one of the many things that makes this wine tasting experience extra special. We were warmly welcomed by our wine tasting host and educator, Vlada, as soon as we arrived. We enjoyed a splash of Sauvignon Blanc that was amazing. Everyone that works here was so friendly and welcoming. Along the visit, you will see a collection of other wine labels from other wineries in Sonoma County and Napa Valley that get their wines from Sangiacomo vineyards. The amount of different wineries that get their fruit from Sangiacomo vineyards is impressive. Before being seated, we soaked in the stunning views of their vineyards on the property. We enjoyed a delicious spread of pastries, cheeses, and charcuterie, which we enjoyed as part of our visit. This winery is known for their exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Everything we sipped was absolutely amazing, and we loved all the wines we tried. Vlada was an exceptional host and we learned so much about this winery. We learned that this is a family owned winery that started out as a pear farm. It changed to a winery and love that it has remained a family owned winery over the years. Our tasting was cozy and we loved all the festive decor. The property has rustic trucks and a tractor on the property that they decorate during the different seasons. We were blown away by how much we loved all of their wines. We purchased a few bottles of wines to enjoy at a later date. An all around exceptional wine experience in Sonoma! Highly recommend to all!
