LOVED this wine! It's one of those rare places where you enjoy every pour. The Pinot Noir was my favorite. And I don't typically like Chardonnay, but their non-butter, non-oak Chard was lovely. Be sure to call at least a day in advance for a reservation, although David was kind enough to accommodate our same-day, last-minute reservation. Tastings are done in a more rustic barn setting, so if you're looking for fancy polished Napa, this is not your place. We bought multiple bottles here and would absolutely join their wine club if we lived in the area. It sounds like they have super fun pick-up parties. read more

Fabulous wine even better company. David is knowledgeable and fun. His wine has many stories. Come hear his stories. Highly recommended.

Could not imagine a more lovely experience. Certainly not the biggest winery...but certainly the most loving :) Dan & Priscilla were beyond accommodating...and make some killer juice :) You must go check them out and try the amazing wines they produce! read more

Such a great place. Awsome views and wine. I've always been a 'Reds' only until i tried their Sauvignon Blanc. I'm sold. I can only assume the person who gave them a rating of 1 didn't visit this place. True there is no sign out front but that's by design. This place has a very cool vibe. read more

My friend and I were here earlier this month, and hands down, this is the best winery I've visited in these parts. David is the real deal, his passion for winemaking is undeniable. Each wine we tasted was fantastic! So naturally, I joined the wine club. Naturally. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! read more

David opened up his home and made us feel like family within a minute of meeting him. He genuinely loves what he and his wife have built together and we feel honored to have stumbled upon such a hidden treasure. This was our first time to wine country. My husband unfortunately isn't much of a wine drinker. But he drank every drop David poured and we even signed up for our very first wine club before David could explain the details. We knew we wanted to support Moondance Cellars and can't wait to share our delicious wines with our family and friends and we hope to return soon for a Moondance party! read more

This is one of my favorite spots in all of wine country and is not to be missed. The wines are really special and delicious. What I love as much as the wines, though, is the family-run, personal experience that Dave and Priscilla provide. Dave is a fountain of knowledge about all things wine, having worked seemingly everywhere in the valley, and will show you his latest classic car project if you ask. He's always working on something. Mikey their dog will greet you, and sit in your lap if you want during the tasting. We arrived at the very end of the day and they were kind enough to go past their normal tasting hours and Priscilla brought their little pony - Mini Me - into the tasting room for photos. We had many laughs with Priscilla and Dave and will be back. It's truly a one-of-a-kind experience! read more

Lovely afternoon wine tasting + picnic under the big tree near the pond. Dave (host) is super friendly and showed us around the place, his horses, his collection cars. A lot of fun! Great for kids. Will definitely come back read more

Unique, off the beaten path (seriously it's on Blank road with no sign), absolutely lovely winery surrounded by vineyards. The owners invite you into their space, sharing moments of their life. We arrived on a Saturday around 4:30 (close around 5pm). Lovely conversation about things to do in the area + we were able to visit with their horses & hot rods +++++++ top it off with phenomenal wines (personally preferred the Reds over white ..but white were great as well.) Cute new puppy addition, Mike, to live in as well! Get away from big box and visit this very special place. read more

Had the BEST time visiting David and his lovely wife at their winery/farm/car barn on a girl's weekend to Bodega Bay! He only reserves one group at a time so we were treated to personalized service and really enjoyed walking the property on a beautiful day, hearing his amazing history and stories, and most of all, tasting his amazing wine. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much since the winery was far off the beaten path, but all three of us literally LOVED every single wine we tasted! I'm a "red" gal but was blown away by the Chardonnay as well. :) And, his Pinot Noir is one of the best I've had. One of our group ended up joining his wine club, and the rest of us stocked up on several bottles to take home. Highly, highly recommend a visit, especially if you prefer a down-home wine experience rather than posh, fancy, overpriced venues!! read more

This is not just wine tasting, it's an experience. You have to make a reservation, so we called & asked on our way there and he let us come right before they closed. Such a sweet guy & his wife is just as lovely. They have a dog Mike, who is little and the most loving bundle of fluff. A kitty as well, who is the queen of the grapes and just wants love. They have horses & let us feed them, and also happen to have delicious wine. We tried 2 whites & 2 reds- took home a sav blanc for a special night once we need a break from the hustle & bustle of life in LA. The most unique and personal wine experience I have ever had. Great conversation, great people, a must if you are in the area. We drove 20 minutes off our route to get here & it was worth every second. read more

David was great! He was entertaining and taught us a lot about the business. He also gave recommendations for other wineries and restaurants. The wine was very unique and I ended up buying a bottle. There is an adorable dog and horses on the premise, giving it more of a homey feel with special attention rather than a big, busy place. read more

This was just what we needed, David is very hospitable and the wines are fantastic in a relaxed environment. A small family run winery with a long history of making great wine in Sonoma. We were outside on a bench in the shade overlooking some vineyards next too some now retired trail horses. They are currently doing a few outdoor tastings a day with COVID. David was able to share a lot about both the wines and the history of the area. Once the tasting was over we took a look at his classic cars and then enjoyed a picnic on the bench before the next tasting arrived. Perfect! read more

Fantastic small vineyard with great red and whites! David and Priscilla both are very nice!!!

We had a wonderful experience at Moondance cellars- actually the best wine tasting experience I have ever had. Each wine was better than the last! I have never been to a winery previously where I loved every wine they produced, but this was the case here! The Sauvignon Blanc was lovely as was the pinot noir and the cabernets were out of this world. The hostess, Priscilla, was incredibly warm and friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed chatting and learning about the wines. Beautiful spot, amazing wines, be sure not to miss Moondance when you visit Sonoma! read more

Four of us made an appointment for a wine tasting and we were not disappointed! We tasted 5 wines, all delicious including a chardonnay that those who don't like chardonnay will love. Dave was very fun, extremely knowledgeable and very gracious. Hi wife Priscilla was equally nice and showed us around her horses and a darling miniature horse. If you are looking for a fancy tasting room, this is not the place for you. It's rustic and super casual but perfect in every way. And ask Dave to see his car barn with a lovingly restored 1966 Chevy Nova and a famous 1965 Corvette as well as a 1924 Model T needing work! We joined the wine club and look forward to enjoying the case we took home. Thanks for a lovely day, Dave and Priscilla! Your Santa Rosa and Adirondack friends! . read more

Thank you so much for the wonderful afternoon. Rich and I had such a great time. The wine was excellent and the company was just as great! Beautiful scenery, and loved being around your dog and the horses. I feel like we could've stayed for days! Such a change of pace from our week in Napa Valley. Comfortable and "come as you are" vibe -- you warmly welcome people like family. We had to take the Pinot Noir home with us! Sooo good. Thanks! read more

A hidden gem here in Sonoma County. David and Priscilla provide a wonderful experience for enjoying unpretentious wines in a relaxed atmosphere. Feel like your on the farm while tasting Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Russian River Pinot Noir and Napa Cabernet Sauvignon in their tasting shed. Don't be surprised to get a little affection from the Orange Cat, their barn tabby. Stopped for a quick taste but stayed until closing. Worth the trip off the beaten path. Looking forward to returning often! read more

I've been using Yelp for years, but have never left a single review. Here's to firsts! This place is what Wine Country is all about. Dave opened his doors to me ever when he was closed, showed me is estate, sampled incredible wines, and we shared good stories. Little did he know, I was having a rough day, and he went above and beyond and made that day one to remember. You will not get this at any of the big wineries, and even most of the small ones. Who cares if it's out of your way or not on a "tour" list. This is a special place. I'm telling you, stop here. Thanks Dave. Keep doing your thing. read more

David is amazing and the wine is fabulous! If you are lucky, you can get a private tour of the classic car garage. Wow. Great experience!

We were sent here by the wonderful people at Sonoma Wineshop & La Bodega. David, the winemaker and owner, was waiting for us when we arrived and he gave us a wonderful tour of the property and poured some delicious wines. All of the wines are made with a lot of craftsmanship, thought and above all love. David was wonderful to chat with and we had a really great time. This is wine tasting as it should be in Sonoma! Dog friendly too (they have a super cute rat terrier mix), but keep your dog on leash as they have horses. read more

Had an absolutely lovely time tasting wines, hosted by David, Mike (small dog), and Mouse (miniature pony). Small, personalized, friendly, and relaxed, allowing us to just enjoy wine and shoot the s**t. Took some photos of his hotrods and flowers and wine barrels. read more

So happy we got the chance to meet David at Moondance Cellars on our short stay in wine country. We had time for one winery, and given the outstanding reviews-- we chose Moondance. You will not be disappointed. Really great selection, relaxing environment, and David is just awesome. Highly recommend Moondance! read more

What a great experience! Definitely on the road less travelled but so very worth it! Priscilla met us at the gate to let us into their property. And what a property. Horses, pond, gardens surrounded by vineyards. David poured his LOVELY wines and we chatted about wine, life, cars. We walked the property and he even backed our trailer out for is . This is what wine tasting should always be like (and probably was before the day of the mega-winery). I can't wait to return and attend one of their famous bottling parties! Keep it up, David!! read more

Moondance Cellars - Wineries Near Me - Sebastopol, California

We are so glad that we had the time to visit this gem of a winery in rural Sebastapol! Dave and Priscilla are kind, down-to-earth, and unpretentious folks, who made the experience so much more meaningful! They talked about how they got into the wine making business, how the area has changed from growing fruit and vegetables to growing grapes, and where they get the grapes that go into their wines (all were within a couple of miles). Moondance's wines are truly a local product, and we appreciate that they support the local farming community. Dave also showed off his hot rods, and Priscilla introduced us to Mini Me, their adorable miniature horse. With respect to their wines, each of Moondance's wines is delicious and well-crafted. We bought a bottle of Chardonnay, which is uncharacteristically and refreshingly bright, with notes of honeydew melon and green apples. No oak or butter, and we didn't miss them. Dave's Pinot Noir is the star of the bunch, with a scrumptious balance of fruit notes (cherries, currants), an earthy structure, and velvety smooth tannins. Unfortunately for us, the $80ish price tag was a bit too much. We really enjoyed our visit, and highly recommend Moondance Cellars if you are traveling around Sebastapol! Remember to call for an appointment though. read more

We visited Moondance during COVID in August and loved our outdoors tasting experience. David was knowledgeable, warm and hospitable, and Teddy (the horse) and Mike (the pup) were lovely as well. read more

One of my top 5 experience I ever had at this winery. If you haven't been try it out you won't regret it!!! David is awesome and his side kick Mike is adorable. read more

We stumbled upon this hidden gem on our recent stay in Sonoma County. Although closed at the time, David welcomed us in and gave us a free tasting, a tour of his farm / winery, and spoke to us as close friends of his. I would highly recommend this winery not only for their great wine but for the amazing people that own and operate it. Hope to visit again soon! read more

We had the Best experience today tasting the most delicious extraordinary wines with David Cohen. We spent a little over three hours tasting, and talking with David and his wife Pricilla about his life experiences then walked the beautiful grounds and left with our favorite wines and great stories. We highly recommend Moondance Cellars and will be back next time we visit Sebastopol. Don't come to a Sebastopol without tasting by appointment only, read more

Amazing!! We had such a great time . Super fun for the kids to explore and see the horses . Wine is delicious !

Awesome little barn for a tasting room. We had the '13 Sauvignon blanc and the '13 flash detànt cab. Really top tier Napa style cab with intense fruit and low tannin. The owners are super friendly, laid back people and it felt like they were welcoming us into their home. Looking forward to coming again! read more

The wine is DELISH! Perfection in every bottle. David, the wine maker and owner, is super chill and friendly and the property has a pond and horses! Hell even talk to you about his 66 Nova and his 64 corvette. You need to just give a call when you're at the gate to let him know you've arrived! This place is not at all stuffy or corporate. Enjoy! read more

Such an amazing Sonoma County find! My boyfriend and I were coming up from SF in search of a day of good food and good wine, but didn't want to trek all the way up to Sonoma or Healdsburg. So happy to find this place. Growing up in Sonoma County, this place just felt like home. David and Priscilla were extremely welcoming, and the wine was delicious, and their property is beautiful. This isn't stuffy, pretentious, fancy gift shop, bachelorette party bus wine tasting, so if that's what you're looking for, keep heading towards Sonoma/Napa. If you're looking for great wine, great conversation, and great people - this is your spot. We left with 3 bottles and a membership, and have vowed as soon as this Covid stuff is under control - a visit to Moondance will be our first trip out of the city. read more

David and Priscilla were wonderful hosts. David provided so much information to us newbies to wine tasting. It was more like having wine in a friend's backyard than an official tasting. Wines were great as an added bonus. Highly recommend stopping by if you want the best! read more

David truly is one of the coolest of men! He's doing what he loves and making enough of a living to live comfortably and happy. Super nice guy. And super cool with us just dropping by even though they typically only work by appointment or reservation. Good selection of wines to taste and/or buy. read more

Try the cab. Just do it. Life changing. All the wines are pretty even fantastic, pinot noir being a good second to the aforementioned life changing cab. read more
