This business does not care about it's customers and is so impossible to reach it's almost comical. I was a long-term customer of Fog Crest. In 2024 we received a shipment of wine where all the wine in the shipment was broken. In typical situations, wineries offer replacement of broken bottles, but Fog Crest was impossible to reach in spite of (literally) 50 phone calls and emails. Since I couldn't reach them, I canceled my subscription to their wine club. Flash forward a few months, they charge me another ~$500 on my credit card for wine, but never ship me any wine (in spite of the fact that I had already canceled online). Again, dozens of calls and emails, no answer and no response. Still trying. A few months after that, they charge me ANOTHER ~$500 on my credit card for wine, but don't ship that wine to me either. After probably 100 calls and emails, I finally talk to the wine club coordinator on the phone. She of course acknowledges my dozens of messages, and acknowledges my situation. She says she will replace the wine that was broken and figure out why they've been charging me for wine I haven't been receiving and make it right. But that she can't talk right now and she'd call me back with more information. That was a month ago. I've now called again dozens of times, and emailed. No response. Called and emailed the owner, no response. This is borderline criminal: $1,500 in charges for undelivered product, a non-existent customer service experience, and an online system so archaic that it doesn't process your cancelation and continues to charge you for product. read more

Zero Accountability and Terrible Customer Service - Avoid Fog Crest! I'm absolutely appalled by my experience with Fog Crest Winery. We joined their wine club in 2023 and was charged $420 all of 2024/25 for wine that they NEVER shipped. When I called to inquire about where the wine was, I was met with complete silence--multiple calls and messages went unanswered. After finally getting a call back, the person said they only called me back because "she saw we had called a lot in one day." That was the first red flag. She promised to credit my account and look into another charge that had been applied. It's been SEVEN days since that conversation, and STILL no credit, no updates, and no resolution. I've followed up with multiple calls, messages, and emails... NOTHING. At this point, it's clear that they don't care about their customers. I highly recommend staying far away from Fog Crest if you value your time and money. Total waste of both read more

The customer service for wine club members is some of the worst I've ever experienced. We have been trying to cancel our membership for over a year, have been charged for shipments that were never received, and no one answers the phone or responds to emails. Truly the most bizarre, unprofessional, ridiculous customer service practices I've ever encountered. EDIT 8/20 including my husband's review below.

Fog Crest Vineyard - Great wine!!!! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Sebastopol, California

I was really looking forward to this tasting, but unfortunately had a disappointing experience with the customer service. The person assisting us mentioned she was new (only 3 days in), which I completely understand. That said, when I asked a couple of questions about the wine notes, she got defensive and told me I was asking "technical questions." I wasn't trying to be difficult, I was genuinely interested in understanding what we were tasting. It's a wine tasting, after all, I think it's fair to expect some basic guidance. The exchange came off as dismissive and unprofessional, which put a damper on the overall experience. read more

This had to be our favorite winery of the entire trip! Rosalind is an amazing woman and spent so much time just sitting and speaking with us about her life and how she started this winery. The wine was also excellent but the company made it even better! We opted to have lunch there as well. Sandwiches and salads were great! Cannot forget to mention the views; absolutely breathtaking. I would consider this a must do winery! I cannot wait to go back! read more

This winery has amazing views! We love how we feel at home when we come here. Tammie is so much fun and has great knowledge of the wines. We loved having her as our wine expert. We don't need Napa when you got Tammie at Fog Creast! 100% recommend and affordable! read more

Fog Crest Vineyard - View - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Sebastopol, California

I'm not sure what was more breathtaking - the stunning views from the balcony or the beautifully balanced wine, full of flavor and just the right acidity. Our host was incredibly welcoming and took the time to share the vineyard's history. We felt right at home. We couldn't leave without grabbing a few bottles to take a piece of the magic home with us. A must-visit spot if you love good wine, great views, and genuine hospitality! read more

Amazing view, great vibes, awesome service! Tammy was the BEST, she took such good care of us to make sure our afternoon in wine country was 10/10. Also the charcuterie board with the truffle honey was insane - so good! Would definitely come back. read more

We initially had a great experience at our tasting in June but since we were from another state we decided that we would have our wine purchases shipped to our house. Well its now October and we still haven't received it. We have called and emailed the winery multiple times and we never get a response. No call no email and no reply regarding the shipment of our wine. It is frustrating because we spent the money for the wine and paid extra for shipping and it was like throwing money out the window. All we want is our wine or our money back. I will never purchase anything from them again. read more

What a lovely tasting experience! Each of offerings in the tasting was delicious - I left with two bottles of rose! More importantly, it was a restorative and relaxing experience. I came out to Sebastopol for some solo time away from the craziness kids and work life. Connie was such a warm and welcoming presence as she came by with her each new pour. I had the patio to myself as I enjoyed the view and enjoyed my wine over a book. Couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience! read more

Just terrible. We reserved our October wine tasting in April and received multiple confirmations, including the day of our tasting. Imagine our disapointment when we travelled across country to find the winery was dark and door locked. Ridiculously unprofessional! read more

I made a visit to Fog Crest Vineyard during a weekend when the air quality further north was questionable due to the Caldor Fire. I ended up going anyway with my partner, our two dogs, a some friends, and we had a great time. We did their tasting, and the person serving us seemed very knowledgeable about the wines. I particularly liked their rose and their Cabernet. Seeing the menu, their bottle prices were pretty reasonable but I didn't partake because we don't drink often. We sat on their outdoor patio which overlooked different rows of grapes and had a pretty awesome view. We ordered ahead for lunch and I had their roast beef sandwich which was pretty tasty. The place had a very nice atmosphere with friendly staff, I'd go again! read more

Fog Crest Vineyard is a MUST VISIT when coming to Sonoma! Their wines are delicious and enhanced even more by the beautiful views and ambiance, and the friendly staff. They also have some of the best bread and olive oil to go along with the wine. We bought a bottle to go, and we can't wait to come back! read more

The location is beautiful and lush, their place was intimate- and their wine was perfect. Their bread samples were awesome and music selection complimented their intuitive customer service. We live in San Diego and it was worth the visit read more

This really is mainly about their lack of customer service. I called the other day to book a reservation for our group. I called during business hours, nobody answered the phone so I left a message. I never received a call back. I tried to call back, once again I was asked to leave a message. I figured one was enough. I just booked another winery for our party. It looks like a beautiful venue, I'll never know. read more

Fog Crest has a lovely view and their wines are good. However, we have been charged for over $1500 of wine that they never have shipped to us. We have filed a consumer fraud complaint with the DA's office in Sonoma County. We have left voice messages and sent emails with no answer of any kind from Fog Crest. There are so many other great wineries in Sebastopol....don't waste your time here and risk losing your money for wine you order and then never get. read more

BE CAREFUL! While the view was amazing, the service was nonexistent. To clarify: we had a reservation for 6, which was pre-paid and included lunch ($503). We arrived 10 minutes early to our reservation (50 minutes after the winery should have opened) and no one was there, and doors were locked. We thought/hoped they were out getting our pre-paid lunch, so were patient. After 20 minutes, we called them - leaving messages. We also emailed the one email address we had. In both cases, nothing was returned. During this time one wine club member arrived to pick up their wine, confirmed we were in the correct spot, and like us, was surprised the doors were locked (mail was even sitting in front of the door). After waiting for 40 minutes (30 minutes after our reservation time), we finally decided to leave. Since then, I've both called and emailed every day and still, nothing. Having read other reviews, this isn't uncommon - this winery is great when people are there, but they choose when to show up or not, and could care less about taking your money. Currently working with my credit card company to recoup this since they won't return a call/email. Buyer beware - this is as much as scam as I've ever seen in wine country!!! read more

Beautiful mountain view and good wine for sipping. We visited Fog Crest Vineyard on a Sunday afternoon and we were immediately struck by the fantastic view. The outdoor patio is small but comfortably accommodated the four parties which visited while we did. The tasting came with bread and olive oil, and we had plenty of water the entire time. The tasting consists of three Chardonnays and two reds, but each Chardonnay had a strikingly different character. Overall, I had a nice time at Fog Crest Vineyard and would highly recommend them. read more

Fog Crest has to be on my list of favorite places to visit. Not only do they have a spectacular view. They also have an amazing selection of wine. The owner Rosalind is a great person who makes you feel right at home. That is one reason I had to become a member. When you arrive you feel like you're at someone's crib. You get greeted with some music playing in the background and a smiling face at the counter. Once seated the fun begins you get a mix of casual conversation and beautiful views. (Protip for Napa/Sonoma) Stop by midweek it's less busy and more intimate. So if you are looking for a new vineyard to try out definitely hit them up! I promise you won't regret it :). read more

We've been drinking Fog Crest Pinot Noir since 2016. Rosalind has established a remarkable winery with spectacular views and consistent quality. Don't pass up an opportunity to visit on a first Friday or second Saturday, because the place really gets lively! We've enjoyed their wine so long and so much, we've actually purchased their logo wine tote, which has traveled all over the world with us. Looking forward to visiting again and again! read more

We went this Saturday to wine taste. The view is pretty but that was about it. There was only one woman working there who was very overwhelmed and kept reminding us she was the only one working that day. We asked if they were short staffed and she said no. The owners need to step up and hire more staff. We barely heard anything about the wines that were being poured. We tried to order a charcuterie board and she said you can only do it online during reservation. Of course they could still take our credit card at the end. If you wanted to buy wine. tasting was $30 each and we were all pretty disappointed. Don't plan on going back. read more

Perfect in every way. Sat on the patio with beautiful view of the vineyards and valley. Drank great Pinots (the Estate Pinot was our favorite) with a nice cheese platter (but they also bring everyone bread and olive oil -- a nice touch). Friendly service, family run. Bought two bottles and they waived the tasting fee. read more

Came here with a group of six others during a leadership retreat and this spot was gorgeous to say the least! The service was attentive and the owner came out and chatted with us -- they were also extremely generous with their bottle services. We ended up buying a couple of extra bottles of the 2017 Pinot Noir. The dining area is on a shared patio with views of their unbelievably gorgeous vineyard and clear blue skies that stretch out for miles. Would highly recommend for a romantic outing or a fun group gathering. Definitely classy, chill vibes! The playlist was also fantastic :) Also Black-owned and woman-owned!!! It was a pleasure supporting this business!. read more

We had such an enjoyable time here. The view is stunning, there is an outdoor seating area overlooking the Russian river valley and with all the fall colors it was magical. The wines were good but what really made it so special was the young woman working there, Grace she was so lovely, friendly and helpful. She actually picked some of the grapes for us to try. Little tiny sweet white grapes. It's probably my favorite vineyard!! Thanks Grace for the wonderful visit. read more

Such a beautiful, unpretentious atmosphere! We were blessed with perfect weather and Connie, our wine host, was even better than the weather. Great wine and beautiful views..what's better than that? We bought a bottle and can't wait to have it for our anniversary read more

I've been to this winery twice in the past month and both times have been fantastic! The ambiance is homey, down-to-earth, and enables you to relax into the view of the vineyard. The first time I purchased the cheese plate with my tastings, and it did not disappointment--really great array of cheeses that pair well with all the wines. I feel strongly about supporting female-owned and black-owned businesses, and Rosalind makes it incredibly easy to with great wine, well-informed staff that make conversation easy, dog-friendly tasting area (my second visit had a dog and it wasn't a problem at all)--and not to mention the great playlist created by the owner's daughter! This is going to be my first recommendation to anyone coming to Sebastopol for wine tasting going forward and I can't wait to continue coming back. read more

Do wineries bore you? Do you hate wine? Do you not care about learning about how they make wine? WELL LET ME TELL YOU WHY FOG CREST is different! 2 WORDS. PINOT ESCOBAR! I have been to over 20 wineries/vineyards in the area and I have always loved consuming alcohol but only went if the views were great or the wine was highly rated. I will say that you will not have a bad time if you come here and Duncan is hosting! He is a very high energy and very friendly individual that made this entire experience amazing! If you're thinking about visiting vineyards in the area, think no more! STOP what you're doing and make some plans to FOG CREST today! I am confident that y'all will have a wonderful experience like the one I had. You should make your way down before they have a 3 month waitlist! read more

Unpretentious, relaxing, beautiful winery! We came to Fog Crest after ziplining through the trees at Sonoma Canopy Tours. So with that said.. we were definitely not dressed in your typical "wine tasting outfit" in our hoodies and exercise pants. However, that did not matter at all and were treated just the same as it should be! The view outside was stunning, we kicked back and relaxed for a while. The staff was nice and the wine was refreshing. We were served almonds and dried cherries which were sooooo yummy. I had to ask our server for the brand so I can have some at home. I would definitely go back next time I'm in that area! read more
