    a table and chairs in a tent
    Jenna T.

    Such a cute set up and a pleasant surprise when we walked in! The tent also made us feel like VIP treatment. The winery is smaller than most and is set in a good size house. Social distancing is perfectly done with tables at a good distance from each other. The personalized tasting menu was a nice touch and made me feel extra special. I was also in awe of the wine glasses and wanted to purchase some of my own. Cory was informative, friendly, and personable. He didn't rush us at all while we took our time tasting each wine. The wine was sooo good, I ended up buying 3 bottles! I wasn't quite ready for the 6 bottle membership but definitely will consider for the future. This was probably my favorite winery from the weekend. It's the personalization and little details that made the experience different from all the rest! Can't wait to bring more people here for their first time.

    Totally amazing how we stumbled upon this spot. We decided to have an escape to Napa during the last "lull" from COVID and it was phenomenal... however we apparently weren't the only ones thinking about this. Almost everywhere is appointments only and calling last minute we got really lucky to hit all the ones we wanted to hit. Here we didn't have an appointment but were told if we bought a bottle we could lounge in their lovely patio area... tempt me with a good time 3 please! 1 to enjoy and 2 to go... yes indeedy... it was a beautiful day and this is a great spot to wait for your local early dinner or lunch reservations to dine out (when allowed), which is what we were doing. The front porch/yard is very welcoming and beautifully decorated not too crowded and not too empty.. lucky enough to catch a couple with a really spiffy car as well. Good times guaranteed at this wine hot spot. Of course holiday seasons are upon us so stay safe, merry and bright. Enjoy the divinity Angie

    Private Tent For Our Anniversary Wine Tasting
    Amy W.

    If you are planning your trip to Sonoma, or even if you live in the area and haven't been yet.. Auteur is a MUST! We booked a visit here for our annual anniversary trip to Wine Country and they did not disappoint. I booked a few weeks ahead of time as most places were still spacing out reservations due to social distancing protocol for the county - The team was so polite on the phone and asked if we were celebrating any special occasions {this will come into play later} and promptly made us a reservation for the date and time were preferred. Score! Just based on the reviews and the service while booking the tasting, I was so excited to give this place a go! Auteur is located on First Street West directly off of Sonoma Square {maybe 50 feet off the square to be exact] - Between complimentary parking on the square itself, street parking and a huge parking lot just a block over, you will not need to stress about where to park while enjoying your wine tasting afternoon. Upon arriving we were greeted immediately by a few of the team members and felt right at home. We were a few minutes early and we had a chance to take a look at all of the awards that Auteur has received and it made us even more excited to sit down for our tasting. When our tent {yes, a stunning tent all to ourselves} was ready, we were blown away by the gorgeous set up - A tablescape set up with flower, candles, and a personalized tasting menu welcoming us to Auteur - Let's talk about the detailing and how this made us feel so welcomed and like we weren't just a "random" guest. Enter Corey - He was friendly, personable and beyond knowledgable and passionate about the wines we were experiencing. He helped to make our experience here one of a kind and truly special. Ask for Corey! The wines themselves are absolutely delicious! I typically gravitate more towards a fuller bodied, creamy Chardonnay and boy oh boy, did Auteur deliver on the Chards! The 2019 Green Acres Chardonnay as well as the 2019 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay are at the top of my list - light and smooth {which my Husband prefers} but packed an amazing flavor {which is what I'm looking for}.. Best of both worlds! We also had a few tastings of their Pinot Noir - Oh my goodness, the 2019 Labyrinth Pinot will blow your mind and have you wanting more. I've said this before in previous reviews {for other wineries..yes, we are big wine guys} but before they could even mention the Wine Club, my Husband and I just gave each other a look like "it's not even a question, we are joining this wine club". And joined we did!** We mentioned that we were relocating to Southern CA soon after our trip and wanted to hold off on the first shipment until we were in our new place so they went ahead and scheduled the delivery for a time that worked best for us - Another tick on the A+ customer service! We have since received our first shipment and enjoyed the 2019 Green Acres with a beautiful dinner - And looking forward to trying each and every wine on the menu! The Wine Club allows you to allocate shipments in 12 or 6 bottles per shipment as well as customize those shipments - And... Complimentary wine tastings when you are in the area! Double score! Come for the wine..and join for the beyond describable wine.. but stay for the stellar service that you will receive from the team! Cheers y'all! ** Please don't ask how many wine clubs we belong to.

    Back patio of their tasting room in Sonoma

    Went to a tasting here over the weekend and it was fantastic! The wines are some of the best I've had and the service was great (shout out to Patrick). I'm excited to be the newest wine club member!

    My god these wines are delicious! I recently discovered Auteur back in August and decided to hit up the tasting room again last week to taste their current releases because they are making some of my favorite Chardonnays in California. Backed by some serious single vineyard contracts, a killer winemaker and a great tasting room experience, this place is an easy 5 stars. It's by appointment only so make sure to book in advance because they can only accommodate a few tastings a day given the size of the space. It's located in a house off the square and has a super laid back vibe where you can enjoy the wines in peace! Great wines, great price points and a must visit if you're looking for high end burgundies in California.

    Came here for my birthday today. Michelle did an amazing job with the tasting and made the day extra special. Highly recommend.

    This is what our tasting pro gave us.. So mysterious

Booked the wine tasting for four. initially we planned to do the outlook where we were given a wooden cabana to sit with our group from afar. It looks aesthetic and alluring, but when we sat inside to see how it was, it felt cold and the walls were so high that you couldn't even view the vineyard. one of those things where the idea is great, but execution not so much. Ended up on the heated terrace which was way more comfortable. Service: 2/5 our server didn't seem very knowledgeable about the wine when we asked questions and of the information that she gave us, it sounded like a list of notes from a description that the wine maker gave her. This was very disappointing. The entire interaction felt strange, and there was no eye contact. We all felt rushed because when we weren't done drinking the wine, she would always come in and tell us she's gonna pour us the next wine, then leave, just so we need to finish the current glass we had. In general, if we aren't able to finish a glass of wine fast enough, or we just don't want to it would be nice if the winery could provide more glasses for us to try the rest of the wines instead of being rushed and using the same glass for every round. Overall, this place is great if you want something very casual. It's such a fun place to sip on wine with friends. Butttt, if you are looking for a true wine experience to learn, this is not the place.

    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.

We were sat promptly with a pour in hand already, and had a gorgeous view of the lemon trees and property. I cant remember our hosts name but she was super sweet, never pushy in us buying anything or liking anything. They brought out multiple blankets for us for the chilly weather and we waited about 10 minutes after being sat to get our snacks. The food was all so fresh, with lots of great flavor but also feeling healthy- we particularly loved the arancini and the bread with oil. The wines were all tasty but honestly, not as memorable as the views/staff/food- I think this winery is definitely worth a visit for those elements alone. I think the light red was probably my favorite but would be back for more food honestly :)

They start you off with complimentary bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar which was delicious! The tastings are affordable, with the Taste of Italy at $30, which is what we opted for. For the Taste of Italy, you choose 4 wines from a list of white and reds. We chose the 2024 Arneis, 2024 Gilia, 2025 Dolcetto Nouveau, and 2021 Teroldego. Buying 2 bottles of wine waives 1 tasting fee. The Dolcetto Nouveau is a chilled red, which I've never had before. Wasn't particularly a fan, but interesting to try nonetheless. We reserved our tasting but they do walk-ins, which we noticed were seated at the bar. So if you'd like your own table, I would make a reservation to be sure. The day we went, we did an indoor tasting because it was so cold, they didn't do any outdoor tastings. The outdoor courtyard is covered, and they have a large event space with some wine barrels that I presume is for wedding receptions. You can walk out to the fountain and vineyards and take pictures. We went in December so of course the vines were bare, but overall still beautiful and peaceful. There is an olive oil tasting room and various products for purchase. Overall worth a visit for the scenery!

We were so grateful to still be able to experience our wine tasting here.

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!
