Corner 103 is the place to be if you are in Sonoma! Located in the heart of it all in downtown Sonoma. When you meet the crew you will see how amazing they are! Lloyd put together a great staff Brent & Shaemus two guys who know their way around the wines, like the Cuvée, a bold blend, the Zinfandel, bursting with juicy fruit, and the Inspiration, a decadent red. No matter your preference, the staff will help you find the perfect bottle to enjoy. When you hit up corner 103 its more of an intimate vibe. Just a reminder they are reservations only so just don't try and slide in unannounced. Being a member adds another layer to the experience.

A visit to Corner 103 is always a positive memory. I have been there several times, and even enjoyed a special lunch offsite, where each dish was paired with one of their delicious varietals! This is a destination in the city of Sonoma. Don't miss it. read more

Corner 103 is an absolute MUST VISIT when you come to Sonoma! I came with my boyfriend and the founder Lloyd welcomed us in, and gave us one of the best tasting experiences we've ever had. The tasting room is beautiful - pristine, well-decorated, intimate, and great music playing at just the right volume. Lloyd walked us through his journey as a winemaker and his wines. The wine itself is unbelievable - so delicious and distinct. I will definitely be ordering their wine for future gifts and myself. Can't wait to come back and can't recommend Corner 103 enough! read more

I love it here. The wine is wonderful. The tasting experience is so good. They literally teach you how to drink wine. And that's basically all the time. When I was there, they served this little roasted duck in a graham cracker bite. And then with the wine. It's so good. Lloyd and Brent have been excelling in the tasting room experience for a while now. Shaemus is such a great addition to the team. The ambiance feels comfortable and upscale. It's so cool to enjoy a glass of incredible wine while looking out onto the Sonoma Square. If you are in Sonoma or are thinking of visiting, make this part of your day. You won't be disappointed. read more

We love love this place. Our host Brent was a joy to chat with about all things wine and Wine country. This winery was unique in wine production. Wine tasting. Wine selling and much more. We tasted 5 different wines of our choice and had a blast doing it. The prices are reasonable for amazing and great wines. Their club membership is totally manageable for all people. Our to go to place from now on. Go and enjoy the wine and the hospitality. read more

3.5/5 Came to visit as part of my birthday celebration on Saturday March 2nd. This is located right off the Sonoma downtown square which is nice because there are so many shops and boutiques to explore. My group selected the food and wine pairing tasting option, and since I reserved a table and prepaid for the reservation, upon arrival, our table was already partially set up which allowed us to be immediately seated, loved that. Séamas (James in Irish) was our taste guide - a really nice fella who was fully engaged and not at all intimidated by me and my girlfriends' jokes and giggles -- overall, the ambience in the room seemed more serious -- no music and very soft talking, kind of felt like we were in a library with booze, and at first, it felt odd to speak at all, I found myself whispering. Food pairings were wonderful - the winery works with a local caterer so the food items change periodically. We left with a bottle of cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, and malbec. Sounds good right? The reason why this isn't rated higher is because the owner was there and spoke to EVERYONE in the room except our table. There were 3 of us ladies, then I counted literally 4 other couples -- the taste room is small so it's not like we were tucked away, and we were there for at least an hour and a half. Since there are so many wineries in this area, part of how I dwindled down the long list of options was by choosing to have my first wine tasting experience at a black owned business (the list really does dwindle down), so to know that Lloyd Davis was in the room but didn't make it a point to say hello was extremely disheartening. We didn't expect anything extra than what we were seeing others experience, which was a conversation or greeting by the owner. Even Seamus mentioned that he'd go get Lloyd to say hello to us (we didn't ask), so clearly, this is something Lloyd usually does. Wine and pairings are really good, ambience is a bit stiff if you tend to be a group who likes laughter and light heartedness, taste guide Seamus was AMAZING, owner ignored us. read more

Lisa and I both took leave from work today to support this Black Owned business. We called in advance to make our reservation and they were kind enough to give us a courtesy call the day before our appointment to alert us to the air quality, as a result of wind carrying ash from the wildfires. Since the Sonoma Wine Tasting was going to be seated outside, per covid rules, we were given the option to reschedule. We were both excited so we kept the reservation and wouldn't you know it, the skies were clear and it wasn't dusty at all :) We were warmly greeted by the owner, Lloyd Davis and he escorted us to our table. Lloyd explained everything we needed to know about the five selections. It was helpful to hear the food items he enjoys pairing them with. They are ALL award winning wines and it was such a wonderful experience. Hands down, our favorite was the Signature Corner Cuvee :) Each of us took one home! Thank you again Lloyd, we had a magnificent time! read more

Corner 103 wines remain our favorite of all the wines we have tasted, the many vineyards and tasting rooms we have visited and the wine clubs we enjoy. Lloyd and Brent make traveling from Texas to Corner 103 in Sonoma a special treat every time for both the amazing wines and the elegant first class experience. read more

Corner 103 is a hands down THE BEST winery in downtown Sonoma! Make a reservation and get ready to enjoy an amazing tasting experience! This isn't your average tasting room as you will get an educational experience while tasting 5 award winning wines. Lloyd was our host and was very welcoming. He shared his story of how he started in the wine industry​ and eventually opened Corner 103. Throughout the whole tasting experience,​ Lloyd was very passionate about his work, business and of course the wine too. A new glass was used for each tasting and was the correct type of glass for the wine we were trying. Lloyd insisted that to properly enjoy the wine you must have a fresh glass and the correct type of glass. It's very rare that I go to a wine tasting and love each wine I taste and I can absolutely​ say that I enjoyed every wine at Corner 103. They feature the best wines from some of the best vineyards in the area. read more

The best wine in Sonoma. Lloyd is so talented and so friendly. A must stop in Sonoma. read more

Just finished a wine tasting hosted by Brent, the service was wonderful and the wines were great. It was a treat to bring my mother who is not huge into wine. She was impressed with the experience and walked away saying she felt so welcomed and not looked down for what she liked and didn't. The quaint tasting room is very comfortable, bright and modern. It was such a personalized wine tasting experience and I cannot wait to go back soon. If you're in the sonoma area, stop by Corner 103 for a wine tasting you won't forget. read more

It is rare that I go online and do a shut out however, I am compelled to do so after one great experience after another, it deserves the recognition. After eight years of living in Sonoma and belonging to multiple wine clubs, there isn't a club like Corner 103. With Lloyd and Brent providing an awesome experience, and education, they continue to exceed my expectations. It is the only recommendation I tell my guest is a "must go". Their wines are absolutely outstanding and at a reasonable price. Tasting at one of the top 10 tasting rooms in the United States is also hard to beat. If you're coming to Sonoma and you want a phenomenal experience, outstanding wines and visit one of the top 10 tasting rooms in the United States, then you too must make this a "must go". Cheers. read more

This is my favorite tasting room in all of California. Not only are the wines fantastic, with an amazingly wide selection, but the service and attention are second to none. Lloyd and Brent put so much thought and time into not just the wines they make, but also into your experience there. The tasting room is never crowded like so many other places, and this allows them to provide meaningful attention during your tasting. They know the wines so well, and can suggest excellent pairings for each varietal. Corner 103 wines are a go-to for many of my friends' gatherings. Every time I think I have a favorite, they come up with a new blend or varietal. If you like red blends, they always do an excellent job of putting together the perfect combination of grapes to come up with a smooth, delicious bottle. I highly recommend, you will not regret it! read more

We have always thoroughly enjoyed each and every visit to Corner 103. The way they explain wine, and the pairing journey, personalizing it to your own tastes makes the experience so approachable and educational. read more

Lovely setting, very knowledgeable and friendly staff. And an excellent array of wine offerings.

Wow!! What a great wine tasting experience! First of all the tasting room is gorgeous and clean. I can't believe that I live a couple blocks from the tasting room and haven't been here before. Lloyd the owner was so nice and he sure does know what he is doing with his wines. We tasted 6 wines. Everything we tasted was so balanced. No heavy tannins, which is a big plus! My favorites were the Sparkling Rose, 2019 Corner Cuvée and the 2020 Pinot but honestly we loved everything so much that we joined the membership. 4 bottles 4 times a year and you are able to customize your selections if you don't want what is suggested for your pickup. I can't wait to come back and enjoy one of their food pairings that are available to members! read more

You will never have a wine tasting experience quite like this. After grabbing some lunch in the square, a couple friends suggested we go to Corner 103 which they have previously raved about. Luckily, Lloyd was able to accommodate our party of 7 spontaneously. What a wonderful educator. He picks his own grapes and creates all of his wines meticulously. It was interesting to learn his story being in the hedge fund business for many years and transitioning into the wine industry. He explained to our group why he uses different glasses for every wine he serves and never reuses the same ones during the tastings. Every wine I tried had its own character, they were all devine. My favorites were the 2014 Corner Cuvée which is a nice bubbly, 2014 Grenache, 2013 Cabernet Franc, and the 2014 Petit Sarah. I can't wait to come back soon for the popular food and wine pairing experience. read more

Enjoyable tasting room experience. Husband and I chose this as one of our picks for tasting rooms during our California wine country honeymoon. This is a great place to stop after leisurely perusing the stores and sights in the picturesque downtown Sonoma square. We booked a tasting online and were greeted by Brent, who guided our tasting experience. Bonus points for being a Black-founded company, which I had no idea until we learned about the history of Corner 103. I appreciate that the philosophy behind the wines is to create an approachable, drinkable, versatile wine journey. We found each of the wines so enjoyable, from a fun bubbly to a deep red- and the room was so beautiful, with panes of glass all the way around. Would visit again! read more

Corner 103 has exceptional wines, service and hospitality. We have lived in Sonoma and traveled the world-their wines are top notch. Lloyd and Brent are knowledgeable, gracious hosts. Being there is a joy. Don't miss a stop at Corner 103 if you visit the area. read more

We LOVE Corner 103! We have been following Lloyd since his Viansa days, and have been a member of Corner for years now. We look forward to wine pick up days, where we get our shipments, as well as taste, and chat with Brent who treats us like queens. We will continue to visit and introduce our friends and family to this particular corner in Sonoma! read more

Great experience tasting several different wines with the help of Brent. The atmosphere is low-key, decor is modern but not stuffy. Great location as well! Brent was attentive and very helpful in guiding our selections They offer a wonderful array of wines from sparkling all the way to Petit Verdot. Our favorite was the 2019 Syrah. Wonderful place to visit before or after lunch in Sonoma. read more

We just had ANOTHER wonderful experience at Corner 103! Our group was so very impressed with what we shared with them here. Our host Brent was his usual charming, informative, and encouraging self as he walked our group through Corner 103's latest releases, accompanied by local cheeses, and their own sidekicks. Make an appointment (done easily on line), and come prepared to enjoy an afternoon of wonderful wines and discovery... Not to mention the experiences you'll take home in bottle form. read more

This place is really special. They have incredible wine and an elegant atmosphere. Lloyd and Brent are always warm and welcoming and happy to help if you have any questions about wine tasting or wine pairing with food - great place to learn about wine if you are new to wine country. Many options to choose from within their broad portfolio - you are sure to find something you love. Highly recommend making a reservation to do the food and wine pairing option! I always enjoy myself and love the wine every time I visit! read more

It's easy to see why this tasting room has 5 stars - Lloyd! He is a true master of his craft and provides a solid wine education in an upscale yet unintimidating environment. The 1 on 1 guidance we received through our tasting was like none other that we had experienced. The true passion and love of wine exude from each bottle that we tasted. When in the area, this is certainly a must do! read more

The wine and food pairing was the best I have ever experienced and I am surrounded by my home in Russian River by 147 wineries!

In a word: Awesome! read more

Fantastic new find in Sonoma. Come to wine country every year and stay in Sonoma as much nicer than commercialized Napa. Corner 103 was a great find, fairly new, classy place without bradzillas ruining your wine tasting experience. I find their wines very good (reds). We truly enjoyed our host and after purchasing few bottles, we plan to return next year. read more

There is a reason why this place gets such high ratings! Sure the wine is delicious, but you can get great wine all over wine country. What sets Corner 103 apart from the rest is that this tasting room is beautiful. The wine is served in the glass that is designed for each specific varietal. And the service is spectacular. I was lucky enough to have the winemaker Lloyd serve the tasting. I am sure the next time I go back I will join the wine club. My fav was the sparkling wine. It was delicious! read more

We made an appointment for a tasting, but got more than just a tasting (that's your best bet here, because they are in demand). We got a wondrous tour of the wine country from the comfort of our leather chairs. Corner 103 manages to be, at once, fine wine in a nicely appointed setting, coupled with a knowledgeable yet unpretentious wine education. There are many things to see here with your taste buds. At Corner 103 we felt comfortable, un-rushed, and encouraged to appreciate what it was that we tasted in the wine. Close your eyes as you are tasting and see the colors of the world. Both Lloyd and Brent are so very well versed in their craft that you are amazed at how much more that you can experience than you have ever experienced before just standing at a wine bar, somewhere else, being steered by some wine sales person. Each selection was unique, the wine varietals are, well, varied and the craftsmanship quite palpable. If you want to experience high-quality wines in a focussed environment where you can ask questions and learn what it is that goes into the wines you love then come to Corner 103. My favorites are their sparking wines, especially their sparkling rose'. We share it at get-togethers with special friends and they never let us open just one bottle. The wines here are truly unique. My best advise: Put together a group of 6 or 8 and have a private food/wine pairing event. We did this one day, in the mid-afternoon, as a precursor for dinner on the Sonoma Square. It was huge hit. Our friends shipped their wines home and we took ours then and there. We even took a couple to dinner. What a day! At Corner 103 every year is a new adventure in wine, so you do not always see the same varietals year to year, and that's just one of the things that make Corner 103 special. If you love a wine, then get it while you can. Their productions are limited and, as we found out, they often sell out quickly, (many times they sell out with the club release). read more
