This was our first stop on a wine tour and it was our least favorite. I'm all about the experience and unfortunately on this day the experience was missing. We were seated poured wine told the name of the wine and that was it. I would have loved the story about the wine history and taste. I also don't want to have to use a stinky porta potty either. Note there are no bathrooms just a outdoor porta potty. read more

Steve and Sher hit a vino homerun with their little gem of a winery. Located on a country back road behind the airport sets this hidden star. Red wine is dominant...but...the Chardonnay is stellar too. Steve's history as a vineyard manager lends to his wine making philosophy. Sher has her love for horses evident with her corrals and training facilities here. Two very genuine and real deal people producing fantastic vintages...Call for an appointment...You won't be disappointed! The secret is out! Oh...Steve is a blacksmith as well offering up classes plus the opportunity to purchase a few pretty cool pieces like wine openers and such. Cheers! read more

Incredible experience in every way. Steve, the wine maker and tasting host was super kind, knowledgeable and the wines were diverse and delicious. A terrific experience for any wine lover, especially someone wanting a truly personalized tasting experience. We brought a picnic and had a great time enjoying the wines, the property and the company. Highly recommend! read more

For our quick weekend in Napa & Sonoma, I was looking for a couple new places to visit in addition to our club wineries. Because we were staying in Windsor overnight and had a wine club release party at Martin Ray starting at noon, I looked for small places off the beaten path but still close to where we needed to be. I happened upon Campana Ranch thanks to Yelp. Reading the reviews, I thought that this winery fit everything I was looking for - mom-and-pop style, good atmosphere, kind staff. I sent an email to inquire about a visit, and Sher responded quickly. We arrived a few minutes early and were content to sit outside the gate until 10AM rolled around (yes, we're those people). Steve was outside working to set up the tasting area and saw us waiting. He came to let us in (still a couple minutes before 10) and greeted us with a handshake and smile. We were off to a great start! He explained how Campana Ranch came to be and pointed out some of his barrels-in-progress. He gave us the option of sitting outside on the little patio or inside with a heater - we opted for the inside of his small, quaint, work space. He sat with us for almost 2 hours and guided his through his fantastic wine. Steve knows his art (and his grapes) and provides a bit of magic in each bottle, showcasing the grapes, the terroir, and his craft. We joined the club - how could we not?! He is such a personable and welcoming gentleman, and let's be honest, his wine is excellent. If you like non-commercial, quaint, bold reds, and truly feeling welcomed and then educated, Campana Ranch is the place for you. Thank you, Steve, for being such a great teacher and host! read more

We did a virtual wine tasting with Campana for a friend's birthday and it was the best wine tasting any of us have ever experienced. Friends from all over the country were able to tune in via zoom. Steve was not only kind and knowledge but also very responsive to our various questions. The winery ships you the wines and tells you what types of cheese and such you'll need to fully participate in the tasting. They then guide you through through various pairings explaining the different effects of each food on the wine. The virtual wine tasting was better than any of us could have expected. Definitely recommend to anyone remotely interested in wine and will repeat the experience in the future. We truly loved Steve and will visit the winery in person ASAP! read more

Steve is the kind of incredibly intelligent, not-at-all pretentious, and humbly skilled man that you wish was your uncle or godfather. His filtered natural wines are delicious, he can answer any question about winemaking, metallurgy (he teaches blacksmithing in his "spare" time!), and is overall a great guy with a fabulous wine. We had a blast here and will happily come again. read more

By far my most favorite winery I have been to! The owner Steve took care of my family and I and we had a blast! The property is also his wife's horse farm, and it is fully operating. Which was so neat to see the animals. Such a casual, fun tasting! And the wines...oh my gosh! AMAZING. I wish we could have stayed longer and talked with Steve more, but we had another appointment we had to get to. That tasting ended up being awful and we all regretted leaving Campana Ranch Winery! You have to make an appointment to come and taste because it is so small, but they are so accommodating with it. I highly recommend this winery to everyone! Such a wonderful experience to sit down and drink wine with the owner/winemaker! read more

Campana Ranch was our first stop on a wine tour for a bachelorette party and it was the most amazing place! We all agreed that if Campana Ranch was the only stop that day we would've been satisfied. Steve is an absolute gem and so knowledgeable!! Ask him anything about wine, the man knows what he is talking about! The bonus is the wine was so great!!! The rosé, Malbec, and old vine Zinfandel were standouts to me and definitely crowd favorites, I wish I bought more bottles but I guess that just means I have to go back :) Don't forget to say hi to Jessebelle the horse when you are there. Thank you Steve and Sher for having us and making the day extra special! read more

Campana Ranch Winery - Thank you Steve and Sher for having us!!! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Windsor, California

I have always been a fan of Steve and Sher's wine! What makes the Campagna experience special is their knowledge and you truly feel like you are being welcomed into their home. We participated in their virtual wine and food pairing. It was a sensory experience that was so enjoyable. The wines were incredible! We had a handful of friends enjoy the assortment of varietals with some great snacks. We learned a great deal about flavor and how wine and food compliment one another. Thank you Steve and Sher for being hospitable and giving my friends a memorable experience. We love and your wines! read more

We went to Campana Ranch Winery as part of our Platypus tour, and it was absolutely our favorite stop. Steve and Sher were both SO kind, the wine was delicious, and the scenery was incredible. We all wanted to spend more time there and would have returned before the weekend was over if time had allowed. We felt right at home. Couldn't recommend Steve, Sher and their winery enough! Their pups, Peanut and Leo, were also fabulous hosts as well. read more

My husband and I had a blast at Campana Ranch several months ago, after calling them on a lark to see if they were open, since we were hiking nearby. They responded by telling us that they were pressing their last grapes for wine, and to come on over and help them! Witnessing and aiding in the wine making process like that was such a treat. Their tasting room is a very simple shed/barn, and the "ranch" has horses. A very rustic feel, and we were literally the only people there, meaning no annoying tasting room hustle and bustle. But most importantly, their wines were delicious. We bought several bottles and consumed them almost immediately! Of note, they have a petit verdot which is pretty unique. We'll definitely be back to re-stock the next time we are in Healdsburg. read more

Tasting was fabulous! Thank you for teaching me so much about wine and sharing so many delicious bottles!!! If you decide to visit, be prepared to find a wine you love! read more

Every part of the winery experience is done extremely well at Campana Ranch Winery. Good wine? Oh yes, beyond good - award winning. Scenic? Indeed, right off the Russian River, beautiful vineyards surrounding horse stables. Cool people? Super cool! Steve and Sher are down to earth, do it all kind of folks. If you want to hear about the wine making process, how the winery was built, how to train a horse, or just relax, drink some delicious wine and talk baseball - Campana's your spot! read more

Delicious wines! I spent the day here with my girlfriends and we had the BEST time! The winemakers Steve and Sher were so kind and fun. I can't wait to come back! read more

Campana Ranch Winery - So much fun at Campana Ranch Winery! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Windsor, California

If you're looking for award winning wines ( yes that's plural) phenomenal scenery and to top it off gorgeous and friendly horses, look no further! Not only does this winery produce delicious wines but the ambience is to die for! Perfect for an event or stop in along your wine tour, I promise you won't forget it. The power couple who own the winery and ranch, Sher and Steve might be the fastest friends I have ever made. Steve is a prominent figure in the wine world and a rapidly rising star, sharing the spotlight is Sher who is widely respected in her own field as a true to life horse whisperer. Humble to the core and kind as can be, this dynamic duo have made Campana Ranch Winery a true Sonoma Country staple and essential destination. read more

Great wine done right. Love the Cuvee and the Petite Syrah. Steve and Sher are terrific hosts and Steve has so much knowledge of wine it is fun to listen to him. I highly recommend stopping by for a tasting or just ordering some wine to share with friends. read more

This was the groups last stop with Platypus Tours and by far my favorite of the 4 we visited. Steve was such a great host and his wines are amazing! There wasn't one wine that I didn't love. We spent two hours learning about Steve's wine and the area, he is very knowledgeable and has been in the business since the 1970s. Sir hats off to you, your passion shows up in your finished product. read more

We've visited dozens of wineries in Napa and Sonoma over the past couple years, and our visit to Campana Ranch Winery was far and away our best-ever tasting experience.

Would wholeheartedly recommend a visit. read more
