    Patio seating and wonderful view of Anderson Valley.
    Rick M.

    On the drive from the Bay Area to the Mendocino coast, you have options on routes to take. But the most 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. 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.

    amazing selection of white wines. From Anderson valley and they have a wide selection of European varietals from their other partner wineries. Ask for Sara she's wonderful In 2025 they inaugurated a newly restyled and designed indoor and outdoor customer space that's beautiful

    Great Sparkling Wine especially the mixed vintage in magnums! We had a great celebratory time. The nosh bites were fantastic! We had the cheese, stuffed eggs and duck. Yum with the wine! We loved our host and she is a local of 35 years! Yes, we will be back

    L'Ermitage Flight
    Jillian P.

    Quality sparkling wines, with ambience that is in the midst of a face-lift. Their tasting room and patio are currently under renovation, so seatings are limited and a bit cramped (especially with the rainy weather). Despite the construction-zone ambience, their wines remain top tier. Came with a group for a 12:30pm tasting on a Sunday and had an indoor table squeezed between the door and the bar. Not the most comfortable location, as every time the door was opened we were blasted with cold air, but at least our reservation ensured we were indoors. We opted for the L'Ermitage flight, which includes their new release, single vineyard Apple Alley, the 2017 L'Ermitage Brut, the 2006 Late Disgorged L'Ermitage Brut, the 2015 L'Ermitage Brut Rosé, and ends with the 2004 L'Ermitage Brut Rosé. My preference was for the 2015 L'Ermitage Brut Rosé, followed by the newly released Apple Alley and the 2017 L'Ermitage Brut. Sadly (or luckily due to their price point), I found the 2006 and 2004 vintages to be slightly sweet and not my preferred bubbly. Love their sister winery, Scharffenberger Cellars, is located just next door and is perhaps my favorite producer of bubbly in Anderson Valley.

    We enjoyed the wine tasting experience here, friendly service and very nice views to spend a beautiful afternoon here.

    Ended up being my favorite

    Loved the wine tasting here. Experienced the $50 l'ermitage flight (middle option). Best sparkling wine I've tasted and I could tell the difference between each one. We also order egg mimosa (deviled eggs) and also the best I've had- very unique! Would come back again (Open during construction)

    Elaine, Sarah and me Chris!

    Everything! The Sparkling Wines are amazing ! Elaine and Sarah are the very best! Strongly and highly recommend!

    Tasty glass of Multi Vintage with a beautiful view

    Disappointing experience. Sparkling wine with a gorgeous view...how could you go wrong? Let me tell you...While the sparkling wine is tasty and the views spectacular, our tasting room server was less than enthusiastic to be there to and turned our experience a little sideways for us on our nice getaway tasting day. It was really uncomfortable! In addition, we had to look around a few times to see if he was coming back to our table and toward the end of our tasting, remind that we had pre-paid for a cheese platter that we hadn't seen yet. (I understand they have to pre-charge for some tastings but I'm not a fan of that here or any winery). Now here is the biggest disappointment. After buying products ($220 worth) at the end of our tasting I was super disappointed to find the Sparkling Rose down the street at a market for $3 cheaper and then a bigger price difference at Costco for the Brut, $8 cheaper. I'm sure spending $200 plus tasting fees and a meager cheese platter may be considered pennie's from an establishment that makes Cristal, but we are just average people who splurged for a much needed weekend getaway and now regret spending it there for that kind of experience. I've come to the conclusion of why would I need to go back.

    Nosh menu at Roederer Estate in Philo.

    There's something that's both timeless and elegant when sipping on the remarkable sparkling wines produced at Roederer Estate. Located in the rustic city of Philo in the Anderson Valley along Highway 128 in Mendocino County, California, Roederer Estate was founded forty years ago by Jean-Claude Rouzaud, who has since passed along winemaking duties to that of his son Frédéric. The Rouzaud family recognized the importance of growing their vines on their own estate as the key to making the highest quality wines. By tapping into their French heritage and wine cultivating techniques, Roederer Estate has established itself as the go-to destination for some of the best sparkling wine that the state has to offer. What brought a friend and I on a recent road trip to the Anderson Valley from the greater Bay Area was the fact that we wanted to partake in their Sparkling Wine Tasting, which for forty-five dollars, we had the opportunity to sip on five of their Brut Sparkling Wines, all while paired with the expertly crafted dishes from their food menu. A reasonably priced tasting mixed with handcrafted dishes that are expertly paired with sparkling wines, all while overlooking their spectacular vineyards in Anderson Valley had us sold for a wonderful afternoon of sipping and noshing. Sitting indoors made for the most ideal afternoon as the weather outside was rather damp on the day we chose to enjoy our tasting. Upon being sat at one of their tables in their tasting room, our tasting room associate Elaine treated us to two pours of their Brut Multi Vintage, one from a traditional bottle and one from a magnum bottle. Both wines were crisp and elegant, by taking these sips we could taste the difference in the amount of years in which each wines' grapes are harvested and aged. For our third pour, we enjoyed their Brut Rosé which had more Pinot Noir in its blend than their multi vintage brut wines. For our fourth pour, we enjoyed their 2017 L'Ermitage, which had an aroma of green apples, pears and hazelnut on the nose, and we learned it had a longer aging process, which helped to change the complexity of the wine. We even were able to enjoy an extra pour of their 2004 L'Ermitage, which had a lower amount of fizz thanks to the brighter acidity being toned down thanks to the extra aging on the yeast during the wine making process. For our sixth and final pour, we enjoyed their Extra Dry which was actually an extra sweet wine, as it would have made for a solid dessert wine, as it was the same blend as the first two glasses of Brut Multi Vintage with a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. What makes Roederer Estate stand out from the rest is that they promote a food pairing menu which features a great amount of food that pairs so well with all of their wines. We went to town as we enjoyed their Eggs Mimosa which were deviled eggs topped with gold pearl trout rose, citrus and garden herbs; their Meat & Potatoes, which were slices of prosciutto served with a generous portion of olive oil potato chips; and their Cheese Board which featured Cowgirl Creamery Mt. Tam and Matos St. Jorge cheeses, sea salted crackers, fig cake and olives. To top off our meal we enjoyed their Tsar Nicoulai caviar, as their Gold Pearl Trout Roe was served on a bed of ice and served with potato chips, crème fraîche and chives. It was the perfect way to spend an afternoon with sparkling wine and an abundance of high caliber dishes, and it was affordable to boot, as it cost us 80 dollars a person, which was rather reasonable. Where else in Northern California can you get a flight of sparkling wines paired with caviar, potato chips and deviled eggs? Not many as far as I am concerned, and when the wines are lovingly crafted and crisp as they are served at Roederer Estate, then it is an experience worth partaking in.

    People that like the bubbles will be in love here... We went here recently for some tastings with our fam and had a really good time. The guy(who had a mask on the whole time) who hosted us was very informative about the wine and showed us all the differences between the sparkling wines. Sparkling wines aren't normally my go to but I was pretty impressed with this place and definitely would come again. Bonus points for clean bathroom and beautiful sights!

    I have never had caviar but here's their menu!

    White Pinot?! What?!…read more Maggy Hawk is a recently-opened Pinot House, part of Jackson Family Wines, and they make a White Pinot! We were a big group so just bought bottles to share. Next time I'll do a full tasting! What I tried and enjoyed: JOLIE PINOT NOIR "Expressive, silky, and refined. Jolie is an elegantly transparent Pinot Noir that opens with light-footed red fruit and rhubarb, then blooms into bright raspberry, strawberry and floral notes." - from website WHITE PINOT NOIR ANDERSON VALLEY, CALIFORNIA "A unique combination of aromatics: white peach, jasmine, Meyer lemon, rose petal, blood orange and wet stone. An entirely original and truly beautiful sensory experience." - from website The White Pinot was so unique and refreshing on a hot day! Give it a try! Maggy Hawk is located in Philo, in beautiful Anderson Valley, across the street from The Madrones (a small compound of guest rooms, a boutique, tasting rooms, and a restaurant). We had a delicious lunch at Wickson, at The Madrones, then crossed the street to meet friends at Maggy Hawk. They have bocce courts and some seating in the front, more seating and a small bar inside the cozy tasting room, and tables and a pizza oven on their back patio. I look forward to returning to do a full tasting, hopefully when they're making pizzas! Cheers and thanks for the warm hospitality!

    Came here on a day when we were one of two parties in the whole place. Staff = pretentious or just…read morerude. Unsure which but the gal took forever to bring the next wine and acted like she did not want us there. Wine = phenomenal. Would brave the staff to get another bottle. Ambiance = gorgeous, especially the outdoor patio. Ran into a lovely couple who lived in my hometown (wife was from the same area) and ended up haveing a wonderful time talking to them. So, our experience was excellent but not due to the staff in any way.
