That is all we kept saying to each other. Our host Taylor was so lovely. She was very friendly, excited to talk about the wines with us, and gave us recommendations for food spots to try when we were staying in Mendicino. We did a tasting and I wish the pours were a tiny bit bigger but that didn't bother me at all because the view was amazing on it's own. We're so excited to come back!

On the drive from the Bay Area to the Mendocino coast, you have options on routes to take. But the…read moremost delicious is following the winding road through Anderson Valley wine region which is replete with wineries and eateries along the entire stretch of this Northern California appellation. And towards the northern extreme of the valley are the spectacular vineyards of Roederer Estates and the home of some of the best sparkling wines in Northern California. Situated atop a hill with a commanding view of the vineyards, valley, and surrounding mountains, Roederer has a beautifully modern tasting room and new outdoor patio with abundant seating and umbrellas for shade. On the day we visited it was 81F outside in the sun, but thanks to the natural air conditioning of a Pacific breeze from the coast, it was super comfortable on the deck. Roederer has everything from traditional tastings of various house wines (mixed vintages, estate reserve, and flights) to wines by the glass to bottles if you are in the mood. Prices vary by vintage, but begin around $18 for a glass and go up. Tastings begin at $35. Bottles begin at $40. Members of wine clubs receive an approximate 20% discount on bottles and tastings. In addition to wines, a limited but nicely curated selection of nibbles are available (think Marcona almonds, olives, prosciutto and cheeses, and duck rillettes, but if you're feeling indulgent they also offer a variety of Tzar Nikolai caviar options that can break the bank). We ordered the duck rillettes which were yummy, albeit a very small portion and not house made. Also, they did not come with crackers, which were an additional charge. This was our only gripe, because do people just eat the rillettes straight out of the jar with a knife?!? But that aside, we loved our sparkling wine selection (a bottle of Brut rosé) and the casual luxury of enjoying our bottle on the outside patio during a gorgeous summer afternoon. Service was quick, attentive, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly, but not hovering or overbearing. Perfect balance. If you want to experience the best of Anderson Valley in Mendocino County, be sure not to miss this gem of a winery.

A poorly managed, lazy business hiding behind a beautiful landscape…read more My wife and I were in Mendocino for a family trip/mini honeymoon. Friday afternoon, we decided to venture out toward Philo to explore the vineyards in the area and stop by for some wine tastings. Roederer caught our eye off Hwy 128, so our group of 4 decided to go for a quick glass to enjoy the beautiful view. Enticed by the large door and expansive patio, we walked in to order our wines around 4:25pm. A taller long haired man greeted us with "Hey, sorry we're at full capacity" was our greeting. No hello, no welcome to our estate. I let him know we just stopped by for a glass and were not there for a full tasting. Uninterested, he just repeated that they were at capacity and finished for the day. Their hours state that they close at 5, and rejecting 1 glass of wine at 30 minutes before closing seems absurd and rather lazy to me. Let the photos speak for themselves...half of the interior tables being available, along with half the exterior being available meant full capacity. There are an abundance of family run and established vineyards all throughout the Anderson valley. DO NOT waste your time coming to Roederer Estate.

Been wanting to attend the Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Fest for a while now, and I have to say that…read morethe experience was really fun! This year, the festival featured wines from over 50 different wineries. What's interesting is that many of the participating wineries are actually located outside of Anderson Valley, but they also have vineyards here. Who would have thunk it? There were some big name wineries in the house including Ferrari-Carano, Kendall-Jackson, and La Crema. Of course, the Anderson Valley favorites such as Navarro, Toulouse, and Goldeneye. There were also lots of small boutique wineries and tasting rooms in tow like Black Kite, Smith Story, and Thomas T Thomas Vineyards. So many wineries and so little time! I would have loved to have tasted all of the wines, but I'm sure nobody wanted to see me sprawled out on the floor from the attempts. The event was held at the beautiful Camp Navarro out in the middle of the woods! This camp is absolutely GORGEOUS and surrounded by the most stunning Redwoods. In previous years, the festival had been held at Goldeneye Winery until it got too big for its' britches. Unfortunately, it was raining cats and dogs and everyone was packed in tight inside of large tents. They did the best that they could with what they were given, but it was extremely wet and muddy pretty much everywhere. The wine was good but the FOOD was even better!!! I can't remember the all the names of the restaurants (you know it goes when you've been drankin'), but they definitely showed up and showed OUT! Boont Berry had an amazing coleslaw and kale Caesar salad! The pizza from Piaci was to die for! So good! Loved the sliders from Poleeko Steakhouse too. They had an incredible cheese spread going on in the tasting area too. There was definitely no shortage of food. Can't remember every wine that I tried because I tried too damn many, but a few of the standouts: *Black Kite Cellars *Maggy Hawk *Foursight Wines *Siduri *Roederer Estate *Toulouse Vineyards So many delicious wines! The highlight for me was attending the open houses on Sunday with the wine and food pairings! Such an amazing experience and great exposure for the Anderson Valley which is one of that best wine tasting regions in my opinion. Would I go again? For sure, but probably not every single year personally. I wished that the weather would have turned out a lot nicer but I still enjoyed myself. If you're looking to explore the wines of Anderson Valley in depth, attending the Pinot Noir Fest is a great way to do so.

Thomas T Thomas Vineyards is an hidden gem with exceptional wine in Anderson Valley. The tasting…read moreroom sits on a hilltop and you will sip incredible Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The tasting room has art from around the world and even art that Thomas himself has created. Thomas fell in love with wine on a wine tasting trip to the Burgundy wine region in France many years ago and followed his dream of owning a vineyard and making wine. He is deeply passionate about wine and dedicated to making exceptional wine and it is evident in all the wines we tasted. The 2017 Reserve was selected wine of the year at the 2021 Monterey International Wine Competition and the 2018 Reserve was selected as the John Parducci Award Recepient/Best in Class Red Wine at the 2021 Mendocino County Fair Wine Competition. This vineyard makes small production and extremely high quality wines. If you are staying in Anderson Valley or on the Mendocino coast, it is well worth the trip in to visit this place. We love Anderson Valley and fell in love with the wine here, his story of following his passion, and his devotion to making exceptional wine! The views from this place that sits on a hilltop are just an added bonus! We can't wait to go back next time we are in Anderson Valley!
