We absolutely loved the experience, the wine, and the beautiful atmosphere. Cedar was fantastic and made our visit one of the highlights of our Sonoma trip. We would definitely recommend a visit to Buena Vista and if you get Cedar, you're in for a treat!

Acacia our Server Made Our Visit Exceptional!…read more We visited Buena Vista Winery on Monday with family visiting from New Jersey, and while the winery and wines were wonderful, Acacia truly made the experience exceptional. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, welcoming, attentive, and incredibly engaging. She has a wonderful ability to read her guests and make everyone feel comfortable while still providing a knowledgeable and professional tasting experience. Her enthusiasm for Buena Vista and its history was contagious. As we enjoyed the Reserve and Signature flights, Acacia shared stories about the winery's history dating back to 1857 and brought that history to life during our tour. She didn't simply pour wine and explain what we were tasting--she created an experience for us. She also had a great sense of humor and happily joined in when our family decided to test whether an entire bottle of wine could fit into one of the giant wine glasses. It did--and we have the video to prove it! That kind of spontaneous fun and personal interaction is what made the afternoon so memorable. We enjoyed the wines so much that we left with three bottles, but what we talked about afterward was Acacia and the wonderful time she gave our family. To the Buena Vista management team: Acacia is an outstanding ambassador for your winery. Her knowledge, professionalism, warmth, attentiveness, and ability to genuinely connect with guests deserve recognition. Employees like her are the reason visitors remember an experience and want to return. Thank you, Acacia, for making our family's visit to Buena Vista Winery such a special one. We will absolutely be back!

came here on a Sacramento weekend trip and it was one of those spontaneous stops that ends up being…read morea highlight. the concept is exactly what it sounds like and it works. a whole bar dedicated to champagne and sparkling wine, different price points, knowledgeable staff who can actually help you navigate the menu without making you feel like you need a sommelier degree to order. we did a little flight situation and tried a few different things. the variety is genuinely impressive and everything was served properly, cold, good glassware, the details that matter with bubbly. the space is cute and intimate. feels like a celebration even if you're just popping in on a random afternoon. good energy, pretty room, the kind of place you take photos without even meaning to. closes at 6pm which is the only thing I'd flag. if you're planning an evening out this isn't your spot for later in the night, plan accordingly and go earlier. honestly it's just a really fun and specific experience that you don't find everywhere. Sacramento has some cool spots and Fizz is one of them. if you appreciate good sparkling wine and a thoughtful bar program this is a must visit when you're in the area.

Unfortunately, once the coverage person stepped in, we were essentially forgotten about for over 20 minutes. At that point, we were frustrated and honestly getting ready to leave. Victor then came over, asked if we needed help, and completely turned the experience around. From that moment on, he was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely made an effort to take care of us. He was able to uplift an experience that had gone downhill quickly, and we really appreciated him stepping in. He reminded us that hospitality is still around and delivered the best services.

We did a tasting for five and also ordered a charcuterie board. The wines were okay but nothing especially memorable, and I wouldn't recommend the charcuterie board for the price. Unfortunately, our server was the most disappointing part of the visit. He rushed through every wine explanation and walked away immediately each time. We thanked him several times, but he wouldn't acknowledge us or even look in our direction. His attitude made us feel unwelcome and negatively affected the overall experience. We still enjoyed spending time together and taking in the beautiful view, but the service could have been much warmer and more attentive.

Definitely make a reservation beforehand as it can get busy, especially during the summer. The grounds are gorgeous just walking up to the tasting room - it's really great if you're looking for pictures and from the chateau you can see all the surrounding rolling fields. They're known for their sparkling wine and in general everything is approachable and pretty well priced. We also got the meat & cheese platter which was yummy and the perfect accompaniment for our tasting.

He came by often and poured 2 wines at a time so they weren't sitting out in the sun and deflating with time. Food: Posh Nosh - Favor but no crisp. The tots and the nuggests paired well with the sauce and the caviar. It did not come out crispy so it was lacking in texture all round. It was as though the tots were steamed and the nuggets didn't get fully cooked from their frozen state. Wine: Sparking Wine Sampler - Crisp. Since this vinyard is known for their bubbles, we went with the lighter options of the white tasting sample. All were very bubbly and crispy! On to my next adventure...

I don't have the refined palate when it comes to bubbles to get it right. What was surprising was that I ranked the English bubbles as my #1 fave. WOW! Now, I'll be on the lookout for English bubbles on wine lists to try more to see if there are any others I like. Sarah (the proprietor) is a gem. She's been in the biz for ages so she's got lots of tidbits and wisdom to share. Highly recommend stopping by here if you like or want to learn more about sparkline wines and champagnes.

Finally made it to this bubble bar and I must say the wait was worth it…read more Before stepping inside I appreciated seeing several cafe tables on the patio where one can enjoy their bubbles in the sun. The interior is absolutely charming with tasteful decor. I was greeted immediately with a smile followed by a glass of water & tasting menu. My oh my, there is quite a wide selection of champagne to choose from. My friend and I decided to do one of the surprise flights which turned out to be quite a bit of fun I enjoyed each one of the glasses, however, was incorrect in identifying /matching was however my friend guessed correctly-- it's all about having fun! We also treated our self to one of the charcuterie boards, which was absolutely scrumptious. The star of this was the hot honey to dip in with the goodies on the plate. The ambience is fun and lively and the owner, Sarah was quite delightful and her staff friendly and knowledgeable. I absolutely will be returning!

We stopped by for happy hour and ended up being pleasantly surprised…read more The space was quiet and relaxed, with a nice outdoor setting and great views. It was an easy place to settle in for a drink and a few bites. Most of the happy hour items we tried were very well made. The chirashi (fish and rice) bowl was fresh and flavorful, the fried items were seasoned without feeling too heavy, and the katsu sandwich was crisp and just enough to leave you wanting more. We liked it enough that when I noticed a couple standing outside looking over the menu, I motioned for them to come in :) No such thing as perfection unfortunately. For example, the shiso bites looked nice, but for the price and portion, I didn't think they were worth ordering again. One item had run out as well, which is why we got the shiso bites in the first place. Overall, a very good happy hour experience, a peaceful atmosphere, and a setting that makes it easy to linger. A must-try restaurant in Yountville. My gf raves about RO whenever she gets the chance, and we'd definitely come back.

We came in and stood around 5-8 minutes waiting for the hostess to even arrive, which I thought was a bit strange. When we were sat, we got a small table near the kitchen. We did also wait a while to get someone at our table and then we got a pretty chill surfer like dude who helped us maneuver the menu, etc. We started off with a glass of Chardonnay and they did have a great wine selection. We ordered the tomato toast to start and it may have been the best bite I had my whole Napa/Sonoma trip. I would recommend ordering TWO of these, they were that good. We also tried the yellowtail sashimi item with the passion fruit which was quite tasty but the tomato toast was the star of the show. For our mains we got the crispy rice and the halibut with the tomato curry, both which were recommended by our waiter. I thought both were decent - the crispy rice had good flavor but was inconsistent in the crispiness- some pieces were rock hard and others were just right, definitely too crunchy if you have sensitive teeth. The halibut dish was nice, it did have a good flavor but I just think I personally dont love halibut. Overall a good spot - reminded me of restaurants in Richmond,VA. Would like to come back for brunch or try more items.
