The Reds were lovely, and the price was extremely reasonable, which seems a rarity nowadays. Sit outside under the pergola and enjoy the view. There is enough space between each other and feel like your conversation is still private. It was relaxing and delicious, excellent visit Cheers, my friends and SYOY 09/30/25

I specifically came back here with my friends to enjoy some wine and a great outdoor experience with hopefully the same hospitality we got last time. We arrived and we were seated...it is still beautiful, but it seemed like the person who took care of our tastings just appeared to be very distracted and not so into the wine pours...we got small explanations of what we were getting and probably got the smallest tasting pours I have ever encountered anywhere...in which we got five. I thought the price tag of 30pp they would not be so stingy...and we did purchase a few bottles but there was no discount on the tastings even for that. I would highly encourage you to go elsewhere if you want to get a proper tasting. This place is just not the same as it was....what a pity.

Everything paired beautifully, and it was a fun way to experience their offerings. After our tasting, we stayed for a glass of Pinot and a cheese board, which was equally delicious, and we were able to try a couple of their mustards, one of which we ended up taking home! Shauna took care of us and was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. We'd come back just to hang out with her. We visited on a weekday afternoon and had no trouble finding street parking, though I'm not sure what it's like during busier times. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!

Devin is the best and he made me feel right at home during my tasting! He was so personable and it was really great to talk to him about the different varieties of wine that were offered. I would say that I have no palette for differentiating the different nuanced notes in wine but after a tasting with Devin - I really felt like my palette got more nuanced and I was able to pick out different spice and fruit notes after talking with him. I would definitely recommend this spot to everyone - especially if Devin is there!

The entire team was so helpful the night of - from helping with our AV/ mics for speeches, taking care of our ~100+ guests, etc. The backyard space is magical at night with the lighting, and was the perfect option for us. The cozy vibe at D'Argenzio Winery created the perfect setting, and the entire night was beyond what we imagined. They also had tables, chairs, etc -- everything we needed which made it super stress free. We also really loved their wines, and got compliments from our guests! It was helpful to have beer options too for non-wine lovers. For our rehearsal dinner, Cibo Rustico Pizzeria was awesome - absolutely get the meatballs! The food was awesome, and set a great tone for the night. Thank you, Breanna, and everyone at D'Argenzio, for making our evening unforgettable. We can't recommend this venue enough!

    I'm so late to writing this but I have to share my experience at Hanna Winery's Roses & Wine event…read moreearlier this year. The day started with a walking tour of Hanna's vineyards and facilities. Our guide Shelby was incredibly kind, fun, and knowledgeable sharing insights about the property and making everyone feel welcome. The event took place in the winery's massive rose garden. The garden was in full bloom with every color rose you could imagine. We had all the tools and vases we needed to create our very own floral arrangements to take home. The floral arranging experience was creative, relaxing and set in such a beautiful garden setting. After finishing our arrangements we returned to the main tasting room for an outdoor catered lunch paired with Hanna's wines. Eating and sipping among the vineyards was the perfect way to unwind, socialize, and share our creations. We ate tons of delicious food and drank some amazing wines. Every single detail of this event felt thoughtfully planned. The Hanna team truly went above and beyond with the hospitality with this one. Overall, I would give this event 100000/10. I have taken many similar classes but none have topped Hanna Winery's Roses & Wine event. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more opportunities to attend. Thank you Hanna Winery for such a beautiful experience!

It is off of Occidental and surrounded by rows of vines, like many others on that road. The wines are fine--the pours are not generous, but you will get 5-6 different tastes for $35. You will find something you like--I especially enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc that is sold more widely and a Zin that tasted even better at home. I wish that at least one of the tasting fees would have been comped with a purchase.

    This business does not care about it's customers and is so impossible to reach it's almost comical…read more I was a long-term customer of Fog Crest. In 2024 we received a shipment of wine where all the wine in the shipment was broken. In typical situations, wineries offer replacement of broken bottles, but Fog Crest was impossible to reach in spite of (literally) 50 phone calls and emails. Since I couldn't reach them, I canceled my subscription to their wine club. Flash forward a few months, they charge me another ~$500 on my credit card for wine, but never ship me any wine (in spite of the fact that I had already canceled online). Again, dozens of calls and emails, no answer and no response. Still trying. A few months after that, they charge me ANOTHER ~$500 on my credit card for wine, but don't ship that wine to me either. After probably 100 calls and emails, I finally talk to the wine club coordinator on the phone. She of course acknowledges my dozens of messages, and acknowledges my situation. She says she will replace the wine that was broken and figure out why they've been charging me for wine I haven't been receiving and make it right. But that she can't talk right now and she'd call me back with more information. That was a month ago. I've now called again dozens of times, and emailed. No response. Called and emailed the owner, no response. This is borderline criminal: $1,500 in charges for undelivered product, a non-existent customer service experience, and an online system so archaic that it doesn't process your cancelation and continues to charge you for product.

    Zero Accountability and Terrible Customer Service - Avoid Fog Crest!…read more I'm absolutely appalled by my experience with Fog Crest Winery. We joined their wine club in 2023 and was charged $420 all of 2024/25 for wine that they NEVER shipped. When I called to inquire about where the wine was, I was met with complete silence--multiple calls and messages went unanswered. After finally getting a call back, the person said they only called me back because "she saw we had called a lot in one day." That was the first red flag. She promised to credit my account and look into another charge that had been applied. It's been SEVEN days since that conversation, and STILL no credit, no updates, and no resolution. I've followed up with multiple calls, messages, and emails... NOTHING. At this point, it's clear that they don't care about their customers. I highly recommend staying far away from Fog Crest if you value your time and money. Total waste of both

We showed up early since we had nothing planned between checking out of our hotel and this wine appointment. Luckily they were able to accommodate us almost a whole hour earlier. We were sat outside. The member reserve flight consisted of 4 wines - 2021 Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay, 2021 Maboroshi Pinot Noir, 2022 Barricia Zinfandel, 2021 Forgotten Vines Zinfandel. I am a member thru a sister winery, Buena Vista, so I get all the member benefits here as well. Nice thing about being a member, you can basically taste anything that's open. We veered past this menu and got to taste a bunch of cabs, pinots, etc. I ended up liking the pinot above and got a bottle. Partly cuz it was pretty, but I actually liked it after tasting it. My dad decided to grab the other two bottles above. Since we didn't really have lunch and were heading to an early dinner, we ordered the snacks above. Got the normal 10% off food and 20% off bottles. Service was excellent. We had a great time for the 3ish hours we were here. Also appreciated the extra tastes so we could decide what we wanted to buy. Highly recommend if in Santa Rosa. REVIEW #3837

They have plenty of outdoor seating and some sweet, secluded spots in the foliage that feel very private, and I love that. There is the main seating area in front of the tasting room it is a pavered patio area. The tables are spaced out well enough that you still feel like you have plenty of privacy while enjoying your time with your friends and family. We tasted a few reds, a Pinot Noir, and a couple of red blends, all delicious, and we also tasted a beautiful sparkling wine and loved it and killed it, lol "Nestled in the heart of Sonoma's Russian River Valley, our 21-acre estate offers breathtaking views of vineyards and a serene ambiance for guests to relax and enjoy our beautiful wine county." If you're in the area, stop in. I'm sure you will enjoy this beautiful winery. This is one of many gorgeous vineyards owned by JCB. He looks like he's buying anything and everything in our amazing wine country. He's a very interesting person. I'm absolutely fascinated, and I love his wines. 12/04/24 #357 review
