    My favorite wine glass

    I've been a member since they opened. I love Loraine and Mike but even more I love The Beast go have a taste

    Owner served us our wine flight and shared where the grapes used were from; all locally sourced in Petaluma area. Cozy place next to Hotel Petaluma.

    Such a fun tasting setup with unexpected snacks to go with each wine! Not only was it a different kind of wine tasting with unique treats to pair, it was an overall fantastic experience thanks to delicious wines and lovely service. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up liking most of the wines. While I usually don't get too excited about Zinfandels, Mr. Beast was a favorite! You also get helpful info along the way about the story behind Barber Cellars, their small batches, and the meaningful names to each one. The atmosphere is cute and quaint with games available but we ended up getting too wrapped up in the tasting to check out the games. Definitely recommend checking them out! Plus the distillery is just down the road if you're more of a fan of cocktails.

    What is not to like here. Family owned and they actually hang there. Make their own blend of wine. It is fantastic and attached to the Hotel Petaluma which is my favorite place to stay now! Very small and quaint, video game table and fun board games to play or just grab a comfy seat on the couch or chair and hang out. Great locals and nice people.

    A really friendly, charming tasting room in downtown Petaluma. The owners have obviously poured (ha!) a lot of love into it. There are 5 good wines available for tasting, including Zins and a savignon blanc. But an equally good reason to visit is the welcoming owners and slightly quirky atmosphere. They aim to be family-friendly --They even have board games, foosball, and a classic video game machine. You can order creative grilled cheeses as well as a local cheese plate. And it opens out out on to the beautiful Hotel Petaluma.

    I've always wanted to stop by & try the wines here but never seemed to have the opportunity. I decided to stop in here with some friends to taste the wines prior to our dinner plans which was the last day of Sonoma Restaurant Week. When we walked in we were immediately greet by a friendly face & much to my surprise a familiar face. It was Erin from Bitter Girl Bitters, who I had met at an event where she taught us how to make bitters. There was no one else in the tasting room, which was not surprising since it had been raining for quite a few days including this day. The room is spacious with plenty of seating including seating at the foosball table & game table that has classic arcade games such as Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug & more. Both work & are there for patrons to use at no charge. Tasting fee is $15 for 5 wines & you can revisit the various pours. Fee waived with wine purchase. The wines varied in taste but were all good. It would be hard to choose just one favorite as the Pinot Gris would be so refreshing chilled with a nice goat cheese & citrus salad, where the Sangiovese, to me, would be good to sip all on its on outside on a nice summer day. They also offer various food items from cheese platters to charcuterie to a variety of grilled cheese sandwiches as well as focaccio. They support local business by offering some of their goods for purchase such as McEvoy Ranch Tapenades, Lala's Jams & Jelly's, Petaluma Coffee & Tea Company & more. The feeling that you get when you walk in the front door from Washington Street is like walking into a friends home. You can also enter the tasting room from within the lobby of Hotel Petaluma. There is a wine club & all club members get a personalize glass that hangs on the wall. Wine club prices are very reasonable & you can save some change by picking up in the tasting room, through the shipping fee is not bad at all. There is street parking, as well as a free parking garage just a stones throw away on Keller Street. This is the type of tasting room you can go in, order a grilled cheese sandwich or charcuterie, sip some good wines & read a book or play the awesome arcade games & just unwind after a long week of work or just relax.

    Wine and cheese tastings served at the tasting room at Barber Cellars in Petaluma.

    Are dogs allowed in the tasting room?

    When I was there the cutest terrier in a shirt was sitting in a chair with a table of three people however I am not sure if this was a service animal I would probably call ahead and check with staff prior to arrival

    My friend organized a private weekday tour and tasting here to celebrate my birthday. Our group of…read more7 had a fantastic time! it started with a presentation on the overview and history of this family farm, then a tour of the cheesemaking facilities and barn where the dairy and beef cows hang out. We met their farm dogs, took photos with the sweet cows, and saw the family working around the property. We then ended with a tasting of their products: cheese, curds, and kefir (all delicious!) Since it was a birthday party, my friend brought a picnic lunch which we enjoyed along with the cheese. We ended by choosing to buy a selection of the cheeses we liked, to take home and share. I was thrilled to find they sell at my local farmers market - I plan to buy more of the Herby Curds when I've run out of cheese next!

While it was very interesting to get such a…read moreclose up view of a family owned and run working dairy farm, I do not recommend this tour for families. While they sell discounted tickets for kids 5-12 and kids under 5 are free, we and all the other families there found the tour to be a real struggle for our little ones. We all felt a little misled about the experience based on the online description. It's a lot of standing very still (in rooms with equipment that shouldn't be contaminated by guests, or next to equipment that has cow poop on it), listening to the owner talk for long stretches. We expected more movement around the farm and time outdoors, instead of something closer to a lecture with a large group in tight spaces. It also ran over time (to 2 hours!) ending with a nice close up visit with the cows and some small cheese samples. We did really enjoy meeting the cows and learning the details of how cheese making works. It is a real labor of love. I think there's a lot of potential here; the Achadinha tour has all the ingredients for an awesome visit but could use some editing. This tour could easily be 30 minutes, an hour tops. We would've liked to stay and buy some cheese but by 1pm we were all starving and fled to find lunch elsewhere. Other parents shared they would've had a great time there on a date, but definitely wouldn't go with small kids again. I'll also flag that they require you to step through a decontamination footbath to go inside the facilities. There were a lot of miserable people in sandals who had to get their feet wet in the chemicals. Closed toed shoes that can get wet recommended for this tour.

My personal SWOT analysis is listed below: Strength: *Famous in California *It offers tours, tastings, workshops, and sells wines *Pioneering Olive Oil *Award-Winning Quality *Historical Significance *Sustainability & Organic Farming *A seat-down outdoor area with scenery for any occasion *Outlet shop in downtown Petaluma Weakness: *The place is in a remote area *The olive oil testing fee is pricey compared with other places we visited in Paso Robles California *Skin products are large and heavy for tourists to take on an airplane or carry on *The table turnover rate is lower than restaurants with food consumption *No restaurant or delicatessen available *They need to hire more staff to maintain the quality of their property Opportunities: *If customer satisfaction is high *If they have good marketing strategies *Not many competitors nearby *More demand *Skin product choices are variable Threats: *If people are not familiar with olive products, they may not like this place *Customers may occupy the tables for a long time during peak season or times *Other places or similar products may have better quality at a lower price with generous portions *An alternative option in the food industry, suppliers, and cosmetics companies Overall, it's a great place to hang out on any occasion with family or small groups. The outdoor area is beautiful and relaxing. Since it is an open space, it could be very hot in summer or cold in winter, or during the rainy season. Moreover, this ranch is also not very noticeable to international tourists. We found it because during the New Year's holiday, many places are closed. So we googled this place while we were staying at the Hampton Inn Petaluma. We are from San Luis Obispo, California. There are many olive oil farms nearby. We not only visited the farms but also tasted the olive oil at a little fee or sometimes even for free.

Glad we had reservations. We had wine tasting along with food tasting. Everything was good and beautifully presented. Afterwards, we went into the gift shop and purchased lotions and the best ginger jam that paired well with Brie. The tastings were ample and a nice selection. It was pricey, but for a special occasion, worth it. The Ode body butter is the best I had to get another jar. It is really moisturizing and lasts a long time. I prefer the "verde" scent. They have lavender, and unscented too. very relaxing vibe.
