    The customer service was absolutely top-tier Rod was incredible, extremely attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully set, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great evening. The wine selection was delicious and thoughtfully curated. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I will definitely be returning.

    Select Tasting: $35/tasting for 4 pours, and a Reserve Tasting: $45/tasting for 4 pours, as of our 3/6/24 visit. Roche Winery is a little house located just off of the Sonoma Plaza, the historic square in downtown Sonoma. They have a small indoor tasting room and gift shop, as well as the "Tap Room", but what we really liked was the outdoor space in front, along the street. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch, overlooking the front patio area with fire pit. Very nice ambiance, and you get to watch all the people milling around town. We enjoyed a relaxing, midweek tasting experience with Sandy, who poured our wines and gave us a nice explanation of each. We shared a Select and Reserve tasting, so we could try more of their offerings, and found several that we really liked, including the '21 American Oaked Chardonnay, the '21 Tamarix (a sweet Pinot Rosé), the '18 Longford Pinot Noir, and the '21 El Nino (a Bordeaux blend), and we purchased bottles of each. We stopped in just before closing, and had dinner plans, so we weren't able to try anything from their food menu. They do offer a Cheese & Fruit Tray ($26), an Artisan Charcuterie Board ($32), and deli case items such as crackers, charcuterie meats, cheeses, tapenade, olives, fig jam, and chocolates, all provided by Aunt Momo's, wine country ranch cooking. Overall, Roche is a cute little winery, right in the heart of downtown Sonoma, offering a nice selection of wines and munchies. Definitely worth a visit.

    Roche is such a great place to come for wine. And now... beer too! I love that they offer a wide variety of wine - from sparkling, to white wine to a good selection of reds. Now that they have a tap room, we've been enjoying their family-brewed beer on tap - the blonde ale is the most refreshing, however, their seasonal brew, which is a dark lager, is surprisingly crisp and delicious! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always providing great service. The downtown tasting room is located in a great spot, with easy access to the square. Seek out street parking or park behind Mary's then walk your way to the tasting room.

    Everyone was very welcoming even with no reservations and post the big July 4th parade around the Plaza in Sonoma. We enjoyed a glass of bubbly while people watching from the shaded porch. The ambiance is fun yet relaxing. Thanks for the great service and kind smiles!

    We stopped by Roche since it was open later than most spots and were very happy we did! They have a huge outdoor patio that's dog friendly and lots of cute tables throughout. The main building is the tasting room which also has lots of fun signs and trinkets for purchase. At the back house they also have beer on tap. Since it was about an hour until close, we could only get a glass. The rosé was a bit sweet for my taste but we enjoyed the Unoakes Chardonnay. We'll be back on our next trip to Sonoma!

    Decided to stop at a winery today and ended up here at Roche Winery in downtown Sonoma. We stopped in at 11:30am on a Thursday. It was slow with patrons, but very enjoyable! We had Sandy helping us. She was incredibly knowledgeable and fun to listen and talk to. My mom became a member. The atmosphere and wine was delightful, and remember to bring good company :) we really liked the wine. Favorites: American Oak Chard, Reserve Merlot, Tipperary Pinot Nior and the Unoaked Chard was a surprise. Check it out and ask for Sandy!

    Red varietal 2018 Pinot Noir Reserved.  Smooth blended complexity with fruit notes.

    A pleasant discovery while walking the square. We wandered down W Spain Street. The outside patio and patron activity lured us to take a closer look. We decided to try a new vintner/label. The tasting menu provided several options. We settled on a few bottles of their red varietal, 2018 Pinot Noir Reserve. Our tasting describes this as silky-complex with fruit notes. Service and animal friendly atmosphere was very relaxed.

    My wife and I love coming into the sonoma area and once visit we had lunch at the Eldorado Kitchen. Well, lucky for us there was wine tasting across the street!!! We sat outside because it was a nice cool day and sitting by the fire with some red wine sounded right up our alley. Our sommelier was very nice and informative and we both got a Reserve tasting flight. We both really liked their pinot's and their Genevieve varietal. If your ever in the area I would highly recommend stopping by. we went there on a weekday but I can see where they would be packed after normal business hours and on the weekends due to tourism travel so plan and make reservations accordingly!

    If you're in the mood for something light and fruity, I would highly suggest the 2018 Tamarix.

The friend that took us here mentioned how she likes that you never feel rushed. I see why people purchase wine club memberships now. As a Pendulum wine club member she gets wine pick ups, discounts, and unlimited tastings with three guests. The setting is beautiful! So many flowers. Nicely shaded picnic benches with umbrellas. They have a large fish pond and it's 25 cents for a cup of fish food to feed the turtles and koi. This is one of the most family friendly wineries I've seen. Many people bring their kids. They have corn holes too. Fancy and Pudding were the highlight! I reached out and felt like a Disney princess having one of them come to me for pets. The restrooms were very clean as well! It was fun browsing the store too. And of course the tasting and charcuterie board were a fantastic experience. I loved the cheeses and almonds they had. We had the option of deviating from the tasting menu. But everything we tasted was great! I think you can also bring your own snacks. It's a great winery experience. Nothing for praise for Cline Cellars. The day we went it looks like they were setting up a wedding later in the day. But that didn't negatively impact our experience at all.

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.

A friend in the industry recommended this place and made our reservation. We were ten min late due to parking/finding the place. The home is in good condition and quite nice inside. Our journey was just through the home, as our tasting was outside. The courtyard style backyard is really nice. Many plants and a few distinct seating areas. There is a bathroom out there and it's super clean and well decorated. The tasting was spectacular. We ordered bottles to be shipped home. We enjoyed the cheese/nut/cracker pairing they included. The tasting was not rushed and we enjoyed sitting in their garden. It was just me and my husband which was nice. It was the first tasting of the trip and it was no pressure, all questions allowed, relaxed and wonderful. I would recommend this experience. I would like to know more about the historic home. We did not become members because it was the first tasting of our week and we didn't know what we were in for. But I'm glad we ordered bottles to be shipped to our home so we can enjoy their wine again and again. We ordered the Chardonnay and three of their Pinot noirs, in various quantities. Thank you for hosting us, Nick.
