We were welcomed warmly with the beverage of our choice (wine, whiskey or water) before the tour. We saw the trees up close and learned about olive trees, the soil, pests, pesticides, and the harvesting process as well as tasted some extra virgin olive oil. We learned harvesting olives takes a lot of hard work! Our group bought a few bottles of oil to support as we enjoyed the taste and tour. The owner was so down to earth and friendly and shared our support goes back to investing into the olive trees. Go support this business by buying their evoo!

I particularly enjoyed Carla's service behind the bar. She was very sweet, knows her wine, and was very generous with pours and trying new things. The wine itself is great, they have Rose, need I say more? Well they also have a great Cabernet, true to the sonoma tannins. I don't want to give away to much information about their property because you really need to take their tour. The grounds are some of the most beautiful I've seen. They also have olive oil, what else could you want to pair your wine with? A yummy cheese plate with that oil is dynamite. I would suggest doing a tasting. There is just so much to do at this winery. Worth a visit if your in Sonoma.

While their olive oils are as delicate as their wines (plus they have superb samples&hospitality), the vinegars are standouts. The vinegars come in fruity flavors like fig, peach, pear, raspberry. The prices are reasonable- about $15 a bottle (for something high end). However, the best vinegars are wine-based, since BR Cohn is primarily a winery. The Chardonnay, Champagne, Zinfandel, and Cabernet are excellent. Fine vintages! They're in a beautiful spot in the Sonoma Valley.

A friend in the industry recommended this place and made our reservation. We were ten min late due to parking/finding the place. The home is in good condition and quite nice inside. Our journey was just through the home, as our tasting was outside. The courtyard style backyard is really nice. Many plants and a few distinct seating areas. There is a bathroom out there and it's super clean and well decorated. The tasting was spectacular. We ordered bottles to be shipped home. We enjoyed the cheese/nut/cracker pairing they included. The tasting was not rushed and we enjoyed sitting in their garden. It was just me and my husband which was nice. It was the first tasting of the trip and it was no pressure, all questions allowed, relaxed and wonderful. I would recommend this experience. I would like to know more about the historic home. We did not become members because it was the first tasting of our week and we didn't know what we were in for. But I'm glad we ordered bottles to be shipped to our home so we can enjoy their wine again and again. We ordered the Chardonnay and three of their Pinot noirs, in various quantities. Thank you for hosting us, Nick.

For me personally, Three Sticks makes the best Pinot in the area so if you're around the plaza and…read morelove Pinot, you should absolutely plan a visit. They own two iconic vineyards, Durell (famous for its Chardonnay) and Gap's Crown (famous for its Pinot), among others. The property is absolutely stunning - even though it's only a couple blocks off the plaza, it feels like you've been transported away from the hustle and bustle of the main square into a quiet retreat where you can escape the Sonoma heat and enjoy a nice lineup of wines. For me, this is always a solid experience, albeit on the pricier side for the area, but a couple of things would go a long way to improving the experience. (1) Making reservations is a pain, which involves submitting a request, waiting to hear back from someone in the tasting room, then using a payment link sent to you to confirm the booking. For a winery offering such an elevated tasting experience (and price point), you'd think they would be able to support live availability and instant booking like basically all other wineries in the area. Additionally, they made kind of a big deal about getting the names of everyone in the party, but then never once greeted us by name. (2) The tasting experience itself felt a lot more hands off and our host didn't seem as knowledgeable. This was immediately after Auteur, where the host was incredibly knowledgeable about the various vineyard sources and pretty much all aspects of the vinification process, so perhaps our expectations were a bit elevated. Still, it kind felt as if the wines were poured, a brief (and basic) explanation given, then we were on our own to enjoy the wines. We may have been checked in on only a couple of times over 2 hours. (3) Purchasing wine is just as frustrating as making a reservation. This is insane IMO. They can't swipe a card so instead, we have to write all of this down on a slip to be processed later? It just feels antiquated and if I'm to be 100% honest, not all that secure. In terms of value, you get essentially 5 tasting pours - 1 rose, 2 chards, 2 pinots, which IMO, isn't a great value at $85/tasting. Compare this with Auteur where for $60, we had 1 rose, 3 chards, and 4 pinots :)

You feel the warmth when you walk in. Carlo was a very kind and charming tasting room manager. He knows the wines, grapes and regions very well and captivates you with each story of the bottle he is pouring. He even explains the glassware. There are 3 different wine flights to try and you can taste by the class. The bar can also accommodate a flight that suits your preference. I was looking for an all red flight, and Carlo happily created one for me that I would for sure enjoy. For Designated Drivers, there are two non-alcoholic sparkling wines from Italy to try so no one feels left out. The tasting menu has light bites to complement the wines such as a charcuterie board, cheese plates, and chips. Carlo lets you know what goes well with the wine you're having. And for after tasting, a variety of coffees. The wines I tried were all delicious. I purchased 3 bottles. (Note: You can ask for a "dump bucket" but you don't need one because the wines are very good.) 1. Old Vine Rosé - So good and very popular that they have it on tap! 2. Whole Hog - A delicious Rhône! 3. Eleve Cabernet - drinks like a Bordeaux. When in Downtown Sonoma, please stop by and give them a try. It's a nice break from shopping or a good place to sit and chat with friends for the afternoon.

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!
