I am so glad I found Anaba! I've been slowly making my way around all of the regional wineries and this place is now high on my list of must-return!!! This is my #1 mid-tier winery. Ambiance and Atmosphere: This winery is casual, hip, and perfect for friends. The large, open field is great for large groups, and the bocce ball court is a distraction for those who might not totally be into the relaxing wine tasting experience. The bathrooms and amenities are new and in pristine condition. Wines: I ordered the regular tasting flight and was met with pleasant, crisp, light wines. I brought home a bottle of wine that we first sipped upon entry to the winery. These wines paired perfectly with the sunny, bright patio. I cannot recommend this spot enough. I can't wait to be back. read more

Rainy day wine tasting. Plenty of indoor seating with cute nooks and comfortable seating areas. Wine tasting fee is expensive, though perhaps on par with the area; they'll waive the cost of the fee if you purchase three bottles. Anaba has a food menu - wood fired pizzas looked amazing though we opted for a few appetizers instead: the burrata and fava bean and asparagus fries were delicious and dishes I'd order again. The winery also has several outdoor seating areas, making Anaba a lovely destination on a sunny day too. Notwithstanding costs, I'd recommend given the vibe and beauty of the space, food, and excellent service. read more

We had a wonderful time here and we were taken care of by Vlada! I came from Georgia for my birthday to visit a friend and we drove to Sonoma for the day. Anaba was a modern, non-pretentious, winery with every accommodation. During our wine tasting (my second of the day) I asked Vlada if she had any snacks and she prepared a full charcuterie board for our table. She was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. I didn't take many pictures but trust you will have a wonderful time here! read more

Driving between Tahoe and San Francisco, we had a few hours to taste some wines in Sonoma. After researching wineries, we selected Anaba due to its outstanding reviews on Yelp (and elsewhere) and the gorgeous photos of the grounds and good food. We followed the Yelp advice and are thrilled we did! Anaba is a gem...a fantastic place to enjoy a wine tasting (matched with some excellent cheese boards and some outstanding pizzas). My wife and I loved the views, enjoyed the wines and particularly loved their Chardonnay, Pinot and their Late Harvest. The best pizzas were the Margherita and the Funghi, and our server James was awesome! They were professional, handled COVID safely, and have a wonderful space for relaxing and enjoying. We joined their wine club and left with a dozen bottles of wonderful, reasonably priced wine. We hope to be back soon and cannot recommend it enough! read more

I recently visited Anaba Wines for the second time and absolutely loved it! The first time I went for a friend's birthday lunch and the food was incredible. It's a hidden gem with a beautiful indoor space and really cozy outdoor seating, combined with beautiful views. The staff is super attentive and hospitable and they took a lot of time and attention in explaining the wines to us while also giving up as opportunity to try a variety of grapes. Another added bonus is that the cost of a tasting is super reasonable and the rosé and white wines are especially delicious. Definitely visit Anaba wines if you're in Sonoma, you will not regret it! read more

Nice service, pizza smelled delicious but unfortunately we didn't try that. Wine was good and awesome they have sustainable practices! read more

Spent a fun day with my friends wine tasting in Sonoma. A friend of mine has been a club member for several years... ever since they had the small farmhouse as a tasting space. Ive been here several times and we typically will time tastings to have lunch here because chef Maria is AMAZING! Seriously- my friend has considered dropping here membership from time to time but every time we talk to chef Maria she recommits to her membership. And the food and wine are delicious! read more

Pinot's galore. Nice spot at the 116 and 121 junction. Covered outdoor seating and nice view of the hills. Modern interior decor. Unlike Napa wineries they serve food. It's not Napa wineries fault, thems just the rules. So, Sonoma wineries get to have more fun. Wines were good. IMHO very pricey for what they were. But I'm poor They got bocce ball court. The food was decent as well. Wood fired pizzas, charcuterie, and arancini's were on order. All were well priced and a solid execution. A fair bit of strollers, so family friendly, if that's you're thing. Parking a plenty and electric car chargers for those of you who prefer to burn nautral gas instead of petroleum. read more

My husband and I (and our dog) visited Anaba Wines while we were in Sonoma for a horse show. We are super new to the wine world and came across this vineyard. I can not renter the name of the lady who helped us and did our first wine tasting, but she was amazing! She educated us in a way that we would understand and was extremely lovely to chat with. We loved the grounds and the patio area that is dog friendly. We ordered a charcuterie board to enjoy while we were tasting the wines and ended up buying two bottles of a pino noir blend. It was a perfect introduction to the world of wine. read more

I brought my family here for Father's Day for a tasting. The wine and views were great. The tasting room is also beautiful. The service was somewhat lacking. We ordered patatas bravas (roasted potatoes with sauce) and the host put them on the table but did not provide napkins, plates or utensils. When I finally went in to ask for those things five minutes later, the host seemed annoyed and said "we normally don't put out plates and napkins." That was not only a weird response, but it also was not true since the table next to us had them. They brought out forks, plates, and napkins another five minutes later. In a place like Sonoma when everyone is in a cute dress, they think people are going to eat potatoes and sauce with their hands? Lol This winery also does not change glasses between wines during the tastings, which is a bit of a faux pax. When we asked about it, the waitress said "we are too busy for that." Just a little more fine tuning on customer service and this spot can be great! read more

Just returned from a fabulous morning of Pickle Ball on the court overlooking the beautiful Sonoma Mountains and vineyards followed by a Legacy tasting with excellent service provided throughout our visit by Brandon! Brandon was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive and his expertise was appreciated by several in the group who have been wine servers themselves, so that they having an appreciation for and understanding of good wines and service. We were excited to try the 2023 PicPoul Blanc, an ancient varietal Rhone when offered. It is always fun to try something a bit atypical. Several bottles were purchased so it was definitely a winner. The side by side tasting of the Pinots and Syrahs were appreciated too as we were able to explore the nuances of each. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! Barbara, Karla, Kim, Suzanne read more

we absolutely loved Anaba! we came later on a monday, our server was young, i wish i remembered her name. she was absolutely wonderful, gave us some background about Anaba, and was so sweet to us. the wine was delicious, each tasting did not last long. the views were exceptional, and we had such a good time. such a gem, we would love to come back again :) read more

My wife and I absolutely love Anaba Wines. We love it so much that we got married there! This is the kinda winery where you walk in and feel like part of a family. We love their Pinot and their Rosè! If you are coming to the area, Anaba is a must! read more

Came her for my friend's birthday and had the best time ever. REQUEST CARLOS!! He was amazing and made our time even more enjoyable and fun ! read more

Amazing Wines! We had made reservations at a neighboring winery a month ago. As we were headed to Napa today, that winery canceled due to a "private event." Needless to say we were less than pleased. That particular winery recommended Anaba. We are so grateful they did! They were very accommodating. Amazing food, wines and scenery. Ken served us and he was fun and very knowledgeable. We can't wait to visit again!! So happy we ended up here. read more

Sometimes you don't need a place to be all fancy or special or pouring $75+ bottles of wine. You just want to be served some wine while seated at an outdoor table overlooking a vineyard. Anaba Wines has got you covered for those non-fancy times. Situated a little too near a busy 3-way stop and gas station, if you're traveling between Marin and Napa/Sonoma you've passed Anaba hundreds of time, and barely noticed them. Next month you might start noticing though as they've built a whole new tasting facility which sits much further away from the busy intersection and gas station. Smart move; it's scheduled to open in September. Meanwhile, I'll tell you this: from a current patio table the intersection and gas station are out of sight and out of mind. Sitting there and experiencing a tasting is low-key and pleasant and they'll pour little bits of a lot of wines (more than the 7 promised on the tasting menu). With only 4 acres of vineyards, Anaba sources most of their grapes elsewhere and though I wasn't a fan of anything white or rose, a couple of their reds perked me up a bit (though I stopped short of purchasing). Reasonably priced, Anaba will waive a tasting fee when two bottles are purchased and during my visit, offered to waive both fees if I purchased 3 bottles. With tastings running $20 (reduced to $15 with yelp check-in) and the wines well-priced, this is a reasonable trade-off. I wasn't in love with anything about Anaba but I could see the attraction. After you've been to the high-end wineries, the big name wineries, and the ridiculously popular wineries consider Anaba. Their offering is relaxed and unpretentious and, compared to some other places, might just feel like a breath of fresh air. read more

Anaba wines is amazing! I picked this winery based off Yelp reviews and proximity to the rest of my reservations and I am extremely glad because I will definitely be going back. The view and landscape here are stunning. The bocce ball and pickle ball are unique touches. The way the tasting room opens up to the hills is truly amazing. The staff was very nice and overall, the place had a great, relaxed vibe. I felt very safe with respect to Covid and can't wait to see the scene here post-Covid! read more

Came in without a reservation (didn't realize they were appointment only, totally our bad.) The lady turned us away and said they didn't have any reservations for another hour. We then pulled up their website and saw they had reservations all day and made one that started immediately. Mkay. We sat down and ordered a bottle of wine. Server returned awhile later and said bottles are for club members only, contrary to what their menu says. Tastings are more expensive than a bottle. Mmmmm Ight. We order a cheese and charcuterie board. They forget the charcuterie. No plates or silverware. Not chill. The visuals and wines were nice, though. read more

This place is great The Standard tasting and cheese plate are solid Would definitely try this place again read more

One of the closest wineries to San Francisco but with all the charm that any other winery in Sonoma or Napa may have, the winery has a new building with an indoor tasting area, an outdoor tasting area on the green and even a semi-outdoor area under a transparent tent akin to a greenhouse that makes it perfect for a rainy or windy day as you can sit outdoors but not be exposed to the elements. It is also one of the few wineries where you can order food, such as pizza or a charcuterie board that is slightly more than at restaurants but worth it. They carry different varieties of wine and all are quite tasty. There is a private parking lot with charging stations for some. A great place to visit if you have friends or family visiting from out of town who want to experience NorCal wine tasting without spending half the day commuting from the city. read more

Absolutely loved our experience here. We walked in without an appointment on our way to the airport because our flight was delayed. The front desk woman seemed overwhelmed due to the windy weather packing everyone inside, and I was worried we wouldn't have a chance to taste, but then waltzed up our hero! A lovely woman who without question said let me get you a glass of wine and find a place for you. She was absolutely delightful and made our experience what it was. We didn't catch her name but she was the star of the show! Customer service 20/10, and the wine was good. We liked the Chardonnay, Pinot, and Syrah blend, then we got to try a barrel sample which was very fun. Beyond grateful we stopped here, a must on your route, this place was an exceptionally unexpected delight! read more

Visited Anaba for the second time yesterday. Had a wonderful time here with friends. We did the Summer Solstice tasting and it was great. Our host Nicole was really nice and answered all of our questions about the wines. Will definitely come back here in the future. read more

With heavy heart I write this review. Had been a member since 2017. Loved their wines & winery. May 26, 2024 showed up a bit early for my 1:30 reservation. Was told that they didn't have my reservation. I insisted that I did make one. Woman at desk stongly implied that I was lying. I was told how they didn't have any room for us and lack of staffing would prevent them from helping us (the members area/building was totally empty & approx 5 young employees were behind the bar talking and hanging out) Another employee came up to us and said that if we wanted he would sell us a glass of wine but that was it. I said that I would pick-up my shipment and it would be my last. After 7 years of being a member,purchasing wines & food every visit it's a shame the level of hospitality Anaba gives their guests let alone members. While in parking lot I found the screenshot that I took of my reservation. Could have gone in and showed person at desk but why? The way I was treated and basically called a liar why even? I'll miss Annaba and their wines. ****PS. No one ever reached out to me to ask what had happened. I asked the person who was boxing up my shipment to have someone call me about my experience. No one ever called. Guess they don't care.**** read more

We went to Sonoma for our anniversary last week for the first time and stopped by Anaba. I dropped the ball on making reservations but we were lucky to have someone make a call and they allowed us a spot in the afternoon. They took us out to a beautiful outdoor area. They followed safety protocols and when it got breezy offered us some blankets. James was our guy. I asked him about some flavors in wine and he busted out with an explanation about "chemical chains" - he was so knowledgeable and friendly. Moira was awesome! She got us a reservation at a restaurant for a proper dinner - a reservation I couldn't book online! Thanks again, Moira! The tasting price was a tad on the high side but it's about the experience- and the experience was excellent!! And the wine was yummy!! We brought home a bottle too. read more

This is a winery we've been meaning to stop at for some time, it's easy to miss but if you like Rhône and Burgundian wines then you will enjoy this place. The property is beautiful and tasting on the patio overlooks their vines The tasting consists of their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir which they specialize in and they were delicious The Chardonnay's were crisp, fruity, florally and dry. The Pinot's were fruitful, earthy, yet bright. Dessert wines are not usually my preference but I enjoyed it none the less Tammy was super helpful and made or experience perfect. Look out for the 45 foot wind turbine that powers the property. Great boutique winery read more

Great winery to visit- especially during COVID times as they have a beautiful outdoor patio area with lots of seating. They bring you your tasting flight on a tray that has ice on it to keep the wine cool. You have to make a reservation in advance in order to visit, but this is easy to do on tock. They have a bocce ball court too. Also if you make a purchase they will refund you one of your tasting fees. I liked their pinot and their white and red port. We bought the ports home because they were unique and came in traditional port bottles. Definitely another favorite for Sonoma :) read more

Amazing venue and wine. Nichole took great care of us and was very knowledgeable about all wines and history of the area. We will definitely come back. Our favorite was the Pinot Noir Petalu read more

The pizza and Chardonnay are a perfect combination. I recommend the patio seating as I have sat out there twice during the rain. Service is also outstanding! read more

A Rosy Affair: The Pink Party at Anaba! Despite the blustery spring storm, the sun broke through casting a warm glow over the vineyards and beautiful setting at Anaba Wines. It was a jubilant atmosphere at Anaba for their much-anticipated Pink Party. For those who have not yet visited Anaba, it offers one of the most spectacular settings and scenery, but also incredible wines and delicious fare to complement! Upon arrival, guests were greeted with an enticing glass of rosé sangria, and the tantalizing scent of gourmet delights awaiting our tastebuds. Anaba spared no effort in curating a culinary experience to complement their exceptional wines, offering three different varietals of tacos -no doubt in celebration of Cinco de Mayo - bursting with savory delight, with a decadent, perfectly-made chocolate crinkle cookie with added Mexican spice for dessert that paired harmoniously with the wine selections. But it wasn't just about the wines and eats; it was the lively ambiance and the sense of community that truly made the Pink Party unforgettable. Everywhere I turned, I was met with smiling faces and the cheerful chatter of fellow wine enthusiasts, all gathered to revel in the joys of spring and the promise of summer sipping. Whether lounging indoors with Anaba's warm and inviting couches and tables, or outdoor on its wind-protected patio, there was a palpable sense of conviviality that infused the day with warmth. Of course, the true stars of the show were the wines themselves. Anaba, from what I am told, was a Rhône-focused producer in Sonoma but hired one of California's best Pinot Noir winemakers. This winemaker's dedication to quality and innovation was evident in every glass, leaving palates tantalized and taste buds tingling for more. I am not a wine expert; however, the Grenache Blanc had a taste of pear with a nice, bold acidity; the Grenache Rosé, had a coppery pink color, with bright strawberry and watermelon flavors and ended with a floral sweetness; Anaba's Pinot Noirs are exceptional, and the one I tasted had excellent acidity and brightness, with an initial taste of cranberry and raspberry. Lastly, I tried the Petite Sirah, which my tastebuds initial thought blackberries! The sweet fruit with a dusting of tannins had excellent acidity, but not overly bold! Love, love the wines at Anaba! In my tastebud opinion, some of the best wine being made today! But perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Pink Party was the genuine sense of hospitality and camaraderie fostered by Anaba. A special shoutout to Ben, whose pink shimmering tennis shoes were a hit! Whether chatting with fellow attendees over shared love for Anaba wines, there was a spirit of inclusivity and warmth that made everyone feel like family. In conclusion, the Pink Party at Anaba was a rosy affair to remember. With its delectable wines, sumptuous eats, live music, and welcoming atmosphere, it was a day that epitomized the joy of springtime and the pleasures of good company. I raise my glass to Anaba for hosting such a splendid event and look forward to raising many more in the years to come. Cheers to pink perfection!!! (And no, I was not paid for this review! LOL!) read more

If you are planning to go to Cline/Jacuzzi, this place is literally down the road off the same main street. It's a cute boutique winery and is a nice change from some of the bigger ones. However, there isn't too much seating. Probably 3-4 high top tables inside. Best suited for warmer months where you can go outside and sit looking at the vines or at the cars passing by! ;) I didn't do a tasting here, but my friends and I just split a bottle of red and had a fun time. They let you bring snacks here too! read more

My friend and I stopped here while on a visit to the area. We weren't really sure what to expect since it was a spontaneous decision. However when we walked in, it was absolutely beautiful. We could not believe the view and how amazing everything was. Our server Ben was beyond amazing. Very polite, helpful and had plenty of knowledge to answer our questions! We ended up leaving with 3 bottles of wine to take home to share with our families. Seriously can't wait to go back! read more

Very disapppointed in the service. As soon as we sat down, we were rushed even when we asked our server to slow down. He wouldn't let us order and insisted the he served us our chocolate wine tasting first. He ruined our vibe. We were out in 30m vs the normal 90 min tasting. I wouldn't recommend this place because of the service or lack of. read more

The beautiful setting and amazing wines were completely tainted by the horrible customer service we received when visiting Anaba. The manager, a middle aged woman with long blonde/gray hair (I think her name is Wendy) was exceptionally rude and condescending to our group. As a Bay Area native and wine lover, I was excited to visit Anaba. I planned a gathering for my mother's birthday and retirement. I reached out to Anaba and asked for a reservation to celebrate. They were very responsive and helpful via email. When we arrived, we were not treated with the respect or hospitality that I expected given the way our email exchange had gone. It was 95 degree weather and we were seated at a table outside. The patio was not full and there were several vacant seating areas. Some of our group were not covered by shade and entirely in the sun. We saw an umbrella nearby that was not being used and asked if it could be moved. Wendy scoffed at the request and said it was too heavy to move and that she would not "rearrange the entire patio" for us (we simply wanted the umbrella moved over about 5 feet). When asked again, her response was extremely rude and condescending. She told us that if we had "special requests" we should book the private event space - our only request was for the entire group to be covered in shade on an extremely hot day. Additionally, Anaba did not let us bring cake to celebrate my Mom's birthday. We spent hundreds of dollars on their wine and food, and they did not offer an option for any cake/dessert on their menu, so it was very harsh for them to be so unaccommodating about this request. I understand why wineries have policies that restrict outside foods, as this may take away from their profit, but this was a completely different circumstance. As a member at several esteemed wineries in the area, I have never been treated with such disrespect by a winery staff member. If Anaba wants to maintain their customers, I would highly recommend removing Wendy from your team. read more

Beautiful setting, E-x-e-l-l-e-n-t service from the front hostess, to the gal who sat us. to the wine attendant!! All so nice and genuinely hospitable, especially our server Carlos (I believe)!! Our favs for the tasting were the Turbine White Rhône Blend and the Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast!! read more

Overall, the atmosphere was beautiful, the food and wine were excellent, but the customer service dampened the experience. Our server, James, was excellent, very helpful and attentive and he is not representative of this review. We had a large group of 8 with a reservation, but when we arrived we were immediately treated as an inconvenience. Some in the group were given tasters to start off with but when the others in the group requested them, they were told that glasses of wine were not offered. Additionally, a blonde/gray-haired woman who said she was the manager came to our table with water and we asked if we could have a small umbrella moved considering it was 90+ degrees today and 2 people in our party were entirely in the sun. She simply said no, that guests cannot move the umbrellas and then walked away from the table with no alternate options. We went in to go talk to her asking if anyone in the staff could move the umbrella and that we were not feeling very welcomed at the winery, she said since you're not a special party we cannot accommodate your requests and then went on to say "we can't move the entire patio for you". We asked for one small umbrella to be moved that was not affecting anyone else in the area and hadn't the entire time we were there. The rest of our party thought that her comments about the umbrella were initially sarcastic because they were so blunt and rude. As much as we all enjoyed the wine, food and atmosphere at this winery, the managers lack of ability to help customers made the experience much less than satisfactory. Based on the other reviews it seems as if they do not want larger groups, but if you go in a small group and do not have to encounter the manager you will likely have a great experience. Update: received a condescending message from the owner in response to my review, again stating that guests cannot move the umbrellas as they are 300 pounds and a safety risk. First, we did not ask if we could move it ourselves, that was just the rude managers response to us. Second, the umbrella was nowhere near 300 pounds as a petite staff member was able to easily move it by herself. I'm confused as to why asking to move a small umbrella on a very hot day has even been cause for an issue. For a place that claims to pride themselves on their hospitality, they need to do much better. I would avoid this place at all costs after receiving this response from the owner. Enjoy their wine from the grocery store and save yourself from dealing with their "hospitality". read more

I would skip this one if I were you. The service was bad, although they weren't busy. They were very unaccommodating. The food was stupidly overpriced ($15 for sweet potato fries) and we left as soon as we could read more

You may have passed by Anaba Wines many times like I have before finally stopping by. Their small winery and tasting room is near the intersection of Highway 116 & 121 in the middle of the Carneros region. You can look for the small wind turbine on the property that generates power for the winery. The tasting room is upscale country with a small interior bar and a larger outdoor patio. The tasting fee is on the high side, but still lower than Napa with a refund by buying two bottles per person. You do not need an appointment to visit, but the place can easily get crowded as larger groups come and go. Most of the wine on the menu did not come from the estate or the Carneros region and consisted of several Rhone wines not typical of a Carneros experience. There was a bit too much Syrah on the menu for my specific palate, but their white blend was very good. Service was a bit slow due to the crowds, but the staff did a good job of explaining the wine and the winery. I am glad I tried Anaba, but I am disappointed by the lack of estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir - which is really why you drive to Carneros. read more
