Cozy Outdoor Tasting
Giselle S.

Found this tasting room while out on a walk & decided to come back on a Sunday afternoon with my husband. This place is truly a little hidden gem, the service is fantastic & the wine is very tasty! My favorites were the Sauvignon Blanc & the Trailblazer. They are pet friendly (our parrot joined us on this occasion) & they have a cute outside seating area. We will definitely be coming back!

stopped by on a whim when in sonoma. saw highway 12 when strolling around, and saw the wine tasting was at a great price! $20pp. as one of the hotter days, a monday as well, not too busy which was good. walked in, and as my girlfriend prefers white wine, we opted for that, which is better on a hot day. good wine, great service, and we were attended to at the perfect times. we took home a bottle of chardonnay. highly recommend!

Located in downtown Sonoma, but off the beaten path, this tasting room isn't the easiest to find. We were lucky enough to find this hidden gem when we visited as part of the Sonoma food tour. We sat outside on their tented in patio and tasted 4 of their wines, 2 of which had just won best in class at a wine competition. The tasting pour were generous and really allowed you to taste the flavor profile of each wine. Our tasting host was knowledgeable about the wine, the vineyards that their grapes coke from, and the artwork behind the place. Favorite pours of the day were the Sonoma red blend and the trailblazer, both of which we got bottles of. Wine was also very reasonable priced, didn't feel like I was breaking the bank, and still got some quality bottles of wine.

had an absolutely lovely experience with Nick! boutique style ourdoor seating in the shade felt like we were in Europe. everything was so delicious and high quality. we did the 3 for $10 tasting and even got an extra glass for free after making friends with our host. ended up buying the brut rose bottle. would highly recommend and come back!

Cute set up for wine tasting

Highway 12 is such an awesome place to stop by and have a glass of wine when in Sonoma! We decided to try Highway 12 one Sunday (after making a reservation) and had a great time. Not only is their wine great (award winning too!), the staff were extremely friendly. Highway 12's patio was also relaxing and comfortable with their red umbrellas and secluded tasting room. I highly recommend their tasting and loved their Chardonnay!

You feel the warmth when you walk in. Carlo was a very kind and charming tasting room manager. He knows the wines, grapes and regions very well and captivates you with each story of the bottle he is pouring. He even explains the glassware. There are 3 different wine flights to try and you can taste by the class. The bar can also accommodate a flight that suits your preference. I was looking for an all red flight, and Carlo happily created one for me that I would for sure enjoy. For Designated Drivers, there are two non-alcoholic sparkling wines from Italy to try so no one feels left out. The tasting menu has light bites to complement the wines such as a charcuterie board, cheese plates, and chips. Carlo lets you know what goes well with the wine you're having. And for after tasting, a variety of coffees. The wines I tried were all delicious. I purchased 3 bottles. (Note: You can ask for a "dump bucket" but you don't need one because the wines are very good.) 1. Old Vine Rosé - So good and very popular that they have it on tap! 2. Whole Hog - A delicious Rhône! 3. Eleve Cabernet - drinks like a Bordeaux. When in Downtown Sonoma, please stop by and give them a try. It's a nice break from shopping or a good place to sit and chat with friends for the afternoon.

If this is what Sonoma grandpas are like, we want to meet more of them. Mr. Bill has the kindest spirit, light, joyful, welcoming, and genuinely present with everyone. That energy truly set the tone for the night. There were two bartenders working as well, and they were just as personable and down-to-earth. Our glasses never went empty. While they don't have bar snacks yet, the sense of community was real, people around the bar were happily sharing Trader Joe's snacks, which honestly added to the charm. The vibe here was incredible. Between the friendly crowd, comfortable seating, and bright, inviting lighting, it felt easy to settle in and stay awhile. I'll definitely be back, mainly to see Mr. Bill, but also to sip on some Chris Bubbles.
