Dustin was the best host we've ever had at any winery. 10/10 would recommend asking for him! read more

I really enjoyed my visit here. The wine is very good which is important and the tasting room and gardens are beautiful with many Instagramable photo spots. The service was great everyone seemed to enjoy their jobs and know the wine well. I was excited to hear they do many events including a Pinot and Paws event I believe they called it. Its an event benefiting the local shelter or ASPCA I forget exactly but I do plan on going so I'll make sure I check in and leave another review then. read more

Everything about this place is amazing. It has a wonderful big patio surrounded by the Vinyard and nature ! They also have really comfy indoor seating! No matter who helps you upon arrival, they will be sure your expectations are exceeded. The staff is amazing especially Mellisa and Dustin ! The seasonal snacking / pairing options are phenomenal! I love their cheese board it's something I order every time, even if I ate lunch prior. My favorite wine is the vermentino but they sell quickly and only comes out once a year ! I recommend this place to everyone looking for a good Sonoma county winery. read more

We purchased a bottle of the La Familia Pinot Noir. It was excellent. The charcuterie board was the best ever had. Dustin was a great host. The gardens were beautiful. So relaxing. read more

A very small and intimate experience! Our party of 6 got a private room for wine tasting and smores. They specialize in red wines and our host Laurie was so nice and took good care of us. When there was an accident, she grabbed wine away and it worked like magic on my friends sweater! read more

This is such a great find! It's convenient to downtown Santa Rosa, but as soon as you're here it seems like you've been transported to a different place. I loved the outdoor tasting area, it reminded me of my backyard is a great way that I wanted to spend some time. We enjoyed the wines and everyone who worked here was so nice and let us take our time. read more

We tasted here today because we are Balletto members and they are family friends and reciprocating member benefits for the next couple months. The setting is beautiful. We brought our toddler and were happy others brought dogs LOL. We tasted outside at a table. The Sauv Blanc and pinots were excellent. The Chardonnay was great also. We loved Dustin, who did magic tricks for us!! They may be doing magic shows regularly soon, with kids amused and adults buying wine by the glass. We loved the location, wine, and whole experience. We will definitely be back! read more

Wonderful tasting experience, staff were so friendly, and beautiful garden area. Ten star review for Dustin and his magic show, plus girl scout cookies. read more

My wife and stumbled upon this place on our way into Guerneville. I knew this place existed but didn't know it would be so close to where we were visiting. Dutton Estate Winery was right off the main road. The building for the tasting was surrounded by the vineyard. We sat outside in a beautifully gardened area. Our hostess was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a tasting of wines that was paired with different chocolates. She really knew what she was talking about and seemed to really like what she was doing. The wines were outstanding. My wife and I had a great experience and would highly recommend this place. read more

My wife and I had a wonderful wine tasting experience at Dutton Estate Winery. The tasting room is a lovely house surrounded by beautiful gardens. We felt very welcomed by our host Daniel. We loved the wine, food, and the service. We got more wines than expected, which was a taste treat. The charcuterie board and chocolates that we added to our tasting were amazing and generous. The range of wines were great, especially for a smaller winery. We purchased 6 bottles of wine and the alcoholic apple cider. I was pleased that they offered a dessert wine which we purchased. read more

Had a great time visiting this winery. This was my second time visiting. The staff is soooooo friendly and both indoor and outdoor seating is great. Today was a beautiful day to sit outside at a picnic table for the candy/wine pairing. The wines are really good overall and the pairing was a fun change up from a normal tasting. read more

Dustin was excellent!! We are on a family vacation from the Boston area and wanted to do a winery tour in Sonoma. We had gone to a couple of spots and my whole family agreed that Dutton Estate was by far the best!!! My daughter will be turning 17 on this trip and we were asking Dustin about best spots to celebrate and he was so helpful and kind. We not only recommend Dutton Estate for its perfect grounds but also for its perfect accommodations and exceptional wine!!! Thank you to Dutton Estate Winery and thank you to Dustin!! read more

Found Dutton on a wine tour and fell in love. Stopped by after another winery without a reservation and was greeted by Laurie who welcomed us in, even though it was 3:30 on Saturday. She gave us the whole experience! Took her time telling us about each wine and their new cider! We felt taken care of and appreciated. Of course it didn't hurt that the wine and cider we smooth and delicious. The grounds are beautiful and it is quite peaceful sitting and tasting. My mom and I both joined the wine club. Once I am released from another winders I belong to, I will increase my bottle subscription for sure! Laurie is absolutely lovely. She is knowledgeable, personable and funny! Make sure to make a reservation so you don't keep the poor lady late like we did. read more

Our hotel (Boon Hotel + Spa) recommended the food and wine pairing at Dutton Estate. They called and made us a reservation and we were in! (Our visit was on July 24th). Dutton Estate is basically on the highway. When we arrived I was a little underwhelmed by the ambiance since we had just come from Iron Horse Vineyards. We were seated at an outside round table on the patio. The gentleman pouring our wine was absolutely amazing. Literally, a one man show he was pouring wine for everyone on the property and racing up and down the stairs to make sure glasses were filled. Eventually, another girl came to give us our food samples. I wished they had come out one at a time, but I realized they were short staffed and it was fine. This was the pairing menu: Sweet Melon Wrapped in Prosciutto paired with Rose of Pinot Noir ($25 a bottle) Chilled Summer Corn Shooter paired with Warren's Collection Chardonnay ($46 a bottle) Warm Cheddar Cheese and Red Pepper Spread paired with Thomas Road Pinot Noir ($65 a bottle) Savory Shortbread Cookie paired with My Father's Syrah ($50 a bottle) Curried Chicken Salad on a dried Apple Chip paired with Gravenstein & Gold Delicious Hard Apple Cider ($12 a bottle) This experience was phenomenal. It's true that the right food with wine & vice versa totally elevates the flavor profile. My cousin is a sommelier in South Carolina and my mom has been to the best wineries that Napa & Sonoma County have to offer with him (they get the royal treatment) and she said this was the best experience she's ever had at a winery. Period. In fact, she bought so many bottles of wine, they waived the tasting fees. read more

Dutton Estate Winery - View from inside - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Sebastopol, California

My boyfriend and I decided on a staycation here in Sonoma County and Dutton Estate Winery has been on the top of our wish list for over a year. We truly had a sensational experience from beginning to end. Booking our tasting was very easy and we were greeted with exemplary service. Our first taste was a crisp and refreshing drink, flavor filled with carbonation but this was not your typical copycat sparkling wine. Our memorable starter was a glass of the vibrant Dutton Estate Cider. This initial treat was not by accident, but incorporated the foundation of their winery, you were actually sipping on what this winery was built on. As we learned more about the winery, and nearby properties this was a remarkable, eye-opening history lesson and a peek inside a strong family legacy in our own backyard! We both struggle in our lives to get a day off of work and I felt like they knew that. Even though there were other tastings happening at nearby tables, we were receiving five star service as if in a private restaurant where we were the only guests in the room. Our experience was lead by a well versed and knowledgeable team member who blew me away since I was secretively looking for cliff notes on the palms of her hands as she continued to sound like she was a part of the Dutton family. All of the selected wine stood out on their own with a unique flavorful sampling. She was given the reins to create her own, well thought out magical parings that only enhanced these great wines. She was proud of where she works and only spoke from the heart. We are looking to go back very, very soon! read more

We were lucky enough to have had a break in the weather to spend a beautiful spring day at one of our local favorites, Dutton Estate. We made an appointment for 2pm with ease. We were immediately welcomed in the tasting room where we were greeted with Dutton Cider by our host. Next we went to a wonderful flight of wines outside with an excellently prepared pairing with cheese and charcuterie. We had so much fun with other guests and staff. We picked some of our favorite wines like Thomas Road Pinot Noir and Kyndall's Chard. The tasting room is always open and cozy, so much more local home feel. We are reminded by our laughs and cheer that we don't stop bye enough. read more

Beautiful family-focused winery in Sonoma Valley! The place is easily accessible and offers lots of outdoor space to sit and try some delicious wines. The wines are truly superb - the whites are not as oak-forward as others you've had, and I''m ok with that! I also love how the grapes are all grown in such a small area of the valley and all wines are truly crafted with care. And the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. You've definitely got to check Dutton out! read more

Delicious wine, wonderful attentive service. We are looking forward to coming back again.

One of the best experiences we have had wine tasting! Family owned and operated, Dutton Estate made us feel right at home. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and elevated our experience to make it a tasting to remember. Thank you to everyone at Dutton Estate for welcoming us as family, producing impeccable wine and providing unforgettable experience. P.S. try their hard cider! read more

I live locally but I had two friends visiting from out of town so I took them to a few wineries and Dutton Estate was their favorite for not only the delicious variety of wine but also for the beautiful atmosphere which was only made better by Riley!! She shared how her father also works at Dutton Estate and how she's basically grown up with the Dutton's and the winery which just really brought in the whole "family feel" if you get the privilege of having Riley pour for you don't be fooled by her young face she knows her stuff and is passionate about it! read more

Loved it here! My group of 5 came here on Dec 31. No reservation. Chris was our server and he was wonderful. I loved coming here because of the unique food and wine pairing. Usually, it's just wine and cheese but the food tastings were phenomenal. The best part of Dutton Estate was learning that the three daughters all of K names - just like the Kardashians. In fact, two of them are named Kendall and Kylie. Hilarious. I bought the bottle of white wine named after Kylie in her honor. The biggest disappointment was that Chris spells his name with a "C" and not a "K" - seems like an oversight :) In all seriousness, I would for sure come back here. Definitely worth it price-wise and the tasting room is really beautiful AND they have a photo booth in the front yard. read more

During our recent vacation we visited many wineries but in discovering Dutton's we truly found a hidden treasure! It was overall the best experience of all that we saw. This family-owned and operated winery (Mom, Dad, three sisters!) made us feel welcomed, relaxed and appreciated during our visit, as if we were friends stopping by their home. At the top, the selection of wines were uniformly excellent and the pairings with food and local-crafted chocolates were well matched and a delight. The service by Mom and daughters was excellent, attentive and personal throughout our whole visit. We are planning our next vacation to wine country for the coming fall harvest and we can't wait to visit our new friends at Dutton's! read more

A few of us went to Dutton for a wine tasting with food pairing. My husband and I got the vegan version. They served a few types of Miyokos specialty cheeses and crackers. I was happy just to not to be left out of the food pairing, but thrilled when I realized the cheese was not only very good but legitimately paired well with the wines. And the wines were delicious, especially the Pinot noirs, though I was surprised how enjoyable their cider was also. The staff were friendly and attentive. I will be back! read more

They participated in the Wine Barrel Event 2017. Lovely lovely decors and presentation of their place. They have their fancy airstream up front to welcome you with barrel tasting of their wines. And one of the highlights is their new apple cider paired with apple chips and brie. Then we head inside to the tasting room. WoW. It was a cute house. Very welcoming. Their Pinot Noir was paired with a meatball. Their late harvest syrah was paired with chocolate chips cookies. The pricing didn't change if you buy a case. It was a very pretty place. Family owned. You can see pictures of the families on the wall which reflects the name of their wines. Their gardens outside is well tended to. All the flowers were in bloom. read more

Great Mother's Day in wine country have wanted to visit Dutton for some time as it's listed on many of the Chardonnay's we enjoy as a source ~ their own wines are fantastic, Laurie, who helped us was knowledgeable, local to the area and was able to answer all questions we had. Can't wait to visit again with the recommendations she gave us. read more

I wouldn't change a single thing about my experience wine tasting at Dutton Estate. On a Thursday at 3pm I had the garden to myself, and the landscaping is truly ethereal. Think agapanthus, butterfly bushes, roses, and some kind of magical purple tree. The wines and the service are phenomenal as well. This will be absolutely be my first choice for wine tasting next time I'm in Northern California. read more

This is a fabulous wine experience. (Seriously!) Wine tasting and expert food pairing at for $15 (waived with purchase of select wine bottles)??? Sign me up!! Every wine -- Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Pinot Noir -- was delicious and the pairings were perfect, with recipe cards upon request. The food pairings really do enhance the wines! They are expertly prepared with local ingredients by a chef in the back to perfectly compliment each of their wines. We even got a homemade chocolate chip cookie to go with the dessert wine. Everything was delicious! Friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful grounds. Unpretentious. Highly recommend a visit here if you're on the Rte 116 wine trail. You don't want to miss this experience! read more

I absolutely love Dutton! I've been a wine member for years, but haven't visited in a long time. Laurie was our fabulous server yesterday and we had an amazing tasting. Lots of new upgrades at the vineyard, but still has the old school charm. Thank you again Laurie! read more

2.5... If you're into Pinot Niors, this is the place for you. Many accolades for their estate wines, thus our trek to get to this small winery. It was literally a house, not what I expected. Yes it was cute and quaint, but it did get busy for the two people who worked there. We weren't sure how the pairing went. We weren't explained about how the tastings/pairings worked so we just started trying different wines. At least, they provided some homemade snacks on the side to curb the alchy in the system. For me, the Pinots were a bit strong for my palate and I opted to try the whites offered on the tasting. I wasn't a fan so motioned my way over to the chocolate cookies. The tasting fee is waived/applied to a purchase. We did walk away with a bottle ($40), although the bottles were fairly $$$. read more

A small, quaint winery in the Russian River Valley, Dutton Estate was actually an impromptu visit as I had mistaken it for Dutton-Goldfield. Seeing as we were already there though, my friends and I figured why not. Two tastings are offered at reasonable prices and the cost is waived if you buy a bottle (note: each flight has a minimum bottle purchase amount). I went with the reserve tasting and found the chardonnay and one of the pinot noirs to be quite good. However, they weren't nearly worth the hefty price tags. Additionally, the place is much more Napa-esque as you just go up to the bar, make your way through the wines and then decide on what you want. Our server was very friendly and made it a pleasant visit, but if you're looking for a legit wine tasting experience...you'd be better off looking elsewhere. read more
