Reflections in the pond
Helen K.

So sorry to see this botanical gem falling into disrepair. Apparently the owner went bankrupt but I am afraid that the property will become a very expensive wedding or special event facility. The unique gardens and plants made this a wonderful place to spend a relaxing afternoon. There are only 2 shops still open and the property is not being kept up, so sad.

Lovely venue space to leisurely stroll and venture about! They have gardens and unique, beautiful sections to explore. From man made pond, farm to table veggies and fruits, floral gardens, bbq area and open land, it's pleasant to wander about here. There are shops and a top notch restaurant to grab a bite. It seems that these days though, the shops are sitting empty post-covid. I highly recommend the restaurant. It's a Michelin bib. With its somewhat seclusion to this massive, green and tranquil venue space and tasty, fresh dishes, I can see why it's a gem.

Age of Event Cool event space, market, and boitique shopping marketplace located in Sonoma. Features: *Large parking private lot parking *Gorgeous spaces for events like an old barn complete with a classic truck. *A few small well-maintained gardens *Michelin Bib Gourmand Folktable restaurant is highly recommended by yours truly. *Potter Green & Co. has some really cool décor and some niche food items; for example, I purchased a barrel-aged vinegar there. *Clean restrooms Conclusion: Beautiful garden and event venue with a world-class restaurant and shopping to boot!

What an incredible level of service by the staff at Cornerstone. Lisa was fantastic and their knowledge and kindness made our visit exceptional.

I haven't been here in a few years and was absolutely shocked to see that ALL of the shops and storefronts have closed!! It was a ghost town. A far cry from what I remember when they used to host so many food and wine events here with local craft shops. The only thing open this past Saturday at 1pm was Meadowcroft Wines and a small food truck parked in front. Folktable restaurant has also recently closed. It looks like this is now predominantly used as an event space I am guessing? The grounds are still very well kept and it's still a lovely walk around the gardens. But there is absolutely nothing for you to do here anymore.

We heard about this place on the radio and finally made the drive out to Sonoma, specifically to wander the gardens. I did some pre planning and we arrived early for a wonderful lunch on the patio at FolkTable. 5 Then we wandered through the different gardens and event spaces. What a beautiful venue and variety of gardens. It was a really lovely day. Not too busy, being a weekday. We saw people picnicking on the lawn, families wandering around. After we stopped in to Meadowcroft for wine tasting. Super friendly staff. There was only one shop open, besides the restaurant and wine tasting. I hope the can get one or two more. All in all, it was a lovely day. We will return for lunch and the gardens as often as we can.

Went on a tour to see their various gardens and event venues. If you are getting married, doing team building, a corporate event or any group gathering they have so many cool options. Their grounds are beautiful!

OMG! Cornerstone Sonoma was recommended by the hosts at Inn on First, the BEST bed and breakfast in Napa. There's a lot to see at Cornerstone. There's wine to drink; we did not. There's food to eat; we did not. There are gardens to see... this we did and we took our time, we took photos and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The gardens at Cornerstone Sonoma are curated by artists, so each section is designed differently and yes, artistically. It's an visual experience that I feel is one of a kind. If you are anywhere near Cornerstone, you NEED to go! Aside from the amazing gardens, we visited one shop. So here's another OMG! I don't remember the name of the shop, but pretty much everything in the shop was made by local artists. And.. the largest wind chime I've ever seen hangs here. Seriously, if you're planning a trip to Napa or Sonoma, you need to put this spot on your list of must sees.

Attended a wedding here on a Saturday in August. Beautiful place with all the gardens and water features. Ceremony in one spot, move to the bar where cocktail hour is, then another setup for dinner and back at the bar for dancing and dessert. It's nice that it is all in one place but you move to different areas. Plenty of parking. Restrooms are a little far from the ceremony and reception areas, at least for grandma and if your feet hurt.

Gift/Garden shop

What happened to this once thriving place. I stopped by on a Sunday, on my way home from Napa, because they advertised live music and wanted to shop amongst the cool shops. But alas Covid-19 hit which hurt many of the shops and there are no more, not even a handful. On top of that there is a new owner of the complex and frankly not doing a great shop attracting businesses. I walked from empty store fronts to the only garden, gift store that has really cool items and I would consider the anchor store. There is a very small tasting room where people were gathered and one restaurant. That's it. The live music was playing in an open space courtyard with plenty of tables and food & drink. The storefront restaurant provides all this with their alfresco kitchen. The band was outstanding. I hope the new owner wants to turn this place around and fill the shops up again. This was once a thriving, cool stop for tourist and locals alike.

Dog friendly gardens

What a magical place and hidden gem in Sonoma, this place is better than many botanical gardens that I've been and it's all free to enter. I'm not one to love throwing parties but this place makes me want to have a fiesta! There are also food and drinks for sales and there was a band playing music with freshly fire grilled pizza for sale. Don't miss this place if you visit wine country.

Important knowledge drops on display!

I used to really love coming to this place -- it has such a unique operation model. This includes their outdoor "to-go" station where you can order a casual snack or bite. I stood in line for almost 15m today (not because of the amount of people but the speed of service). All good -- that Sonoma pace of life! When it was my turn to order, I was told the kitchen was backed up and they could make a single order of fries. I could have a burger or salad--just no fries. Definitely a deal breaker for me--seeing as how I could have ordered fries inside and probably waited just as long. Unless you're coming on off hours or during the week--this spot has exceeded its capacity for good service. Plan to visit for a walk in the gardens or their gift shop before a quick or convenient spot to eat.

Olive trees lining little shops
Sharon H.

This place is so awesome-- I dig these types of spots where you can try different things, walk around, enjoy the morning/afternoon. This space is gorgeous and you could even spend some time here without spending any money. The gardens are gorgeous and surprisingly spacious for being free to roam. It was a lovely space to run around with our dog and kids. There's lounge seating and shaded tables/benches all over the grounds as well. Currently they have a coffee shop that is open daily, FolkTable restaurant (open Wed-Sun), 2 wine tasting rooms, and a couple little shops. Folktable has an awesome seasonal menu, and we picked up some gifts at the shops.

Are they open for business? I heard most places are closed

When I was there a few months ago there was a sign that the place was in bankruptcy. Everything was closed except one food stand and the grounds and beautiful flowers were in very sad shape.

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.

The area is also beautiful and we happened to catch the leaves changing colors. Taking a walk around the property, it wasn't over crowded and the vibe was chill.

Super easy process and check-in as well. From what I saw, there were two main histoic buildings and both had a lot of character. The older architecture and stone details gave it taht classic wine country feel without trying too hard. There was plenty of seating and the space felt open and comfortable. The wine lineup was solid and well curated. They're known for their reds, but I lean more toward the whites and still found a good variety to enjoy. What stood out most for me was the special guided tour our Sommelier done for us. I loved seeing the antiques and hearing about the history behind the buildings and how the winery came to be. It made the whole experience feel more meaningful instead of just going in for a tasting and leaving. I didn't leave with bottles this time, but I genuinely enjoyed the experience and everything I learned. Definitely will be back! Also there are some really nice antique stores very close by, so it's easy to make a whole afternoon out of it.

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!
