Aside from the wine being wonderful, Noemi has been a gem that always brings us back. Shes friendly, attentive, has the best music playlist and pays attention to detail. The hours have shortened to 7pm closing time (as of 10/10/20) with the hope that theyll go back to 9pm soon. The vibe of this tasting room is the best.

I held a private event here and the staff was wonderful! Parking can be a little tricky, but if you go in through the address of the building as opposed to the Plaza side, they have parking spots there. They have comfy outdoor couches and a room for a private group (I used the whole space).

Slightly on the pricey side for the tastings but an incredible setting! We did the tasting and then split a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. They have fire pits at each table you can do your tasting at so even when it’s cold out it’s still perfect.

Good charcuterie boards and tasty wine. Ambiance is relaxing

We got a friendly lady serving us this fine Friday. Great shaded outdoor. Inside alley, no traffic noise even if your close to where you park your car which is a convenience when you have kids. Did I mentioned kid, this joint is kid and doggie friendly-- biscuit and water bowl for the 4-legged baby

Lovely wines and atmosphere. Best part dogs welcome inside and out!

Loved the vine and the place

The atmosphere is head and shoulders above what else is on the square and the ladies inside are super nice! Great place for great wine!!!

We love coming here! It’s so warm and inviting! Kelly & Kristina are such fun! All the wines are very approachable and well worth trying. If you are in the area... I definitely recommend stopping by!

We were lucky enough to have a lunch waiter who shared with us what he called, the best kept secret on the Sonoma Square. Make a right down the driveway, just past the Sign of the Bear, and youll find a unassuming tasting room with wonderful wines and a nice outdoor patio on which to enjoy them. And we did!We strolled down the lane to Lake Sonoma Winery Tasting Room and were greeted by Kelly who, as it turns out, is Tasting Room Manager, ... and we could see why. What a cheerful and personable host she is. As she got our small group of four seated the charming deck/patio she explained the tasting menu and its choices. We kinda mixed and matched our Tasting choices which was no challenge to Kelly.I preferred the Reserve Tasting. I could tell that it would suit me best, and I was right. I enjoyed the Valley of the Moon Chardonnay. I dont care for buttery oaky Chardonnays, but I relaxed a bit when Kelly promised me that it was crisp and bright. I loved it.For reds, I loved the Valley of The Moon Reserve. It is a rich and reverent blend of Malbec and Petit Verdot. These are classically two wines used to perfect other varietals but in this case they were seamlessly matched with only one another.Next, some of us had the Pinot Noirs. There were four of us, so we each tried (and passed) one of them. It was kind of a blind tasting, and two of them came out as favorites. Of course I favored the 2018 Valley of The Moon. You can enjoy this right now without failing the wait test, but it will age nicely and soften up a little, if you like. Get two. Do it both ways. The next up favorite for the group is the 2016. It has all the classic Pinot Noir notes and appealed well to all of us.But what really sold us the bottles of wine at the end of the tasting was the totality of the package. Kelly is a fine host and an artfully subtle wine educator. The slightly-off-the-beaten-path quiet location and outdoor comfort (or indoor, if you like), and the uncrushed charm all made for the perfect afternoon. The wines sold themselves, as well. We have ours at home, each with a story, waiting for just the right moment. Maybe this weekend.

Off the main Sonoma square in a hidden alleyway. It is a cozy space with a laid back staff. Very welcoming and an enjoyable place to go and enjoy your company and new wine! The blend and the rose were my favorites! They had many different outdoor seating options as well.

Great wine experience!

This place has great rosé and an awesome patio!! Loved lounging here in the sun and shade with a bottle of wine. Definitely recommend! Would be great at night with a cool breeze and the fire pits

The ladies of Lake Sonoma are as fabulous as the wine. Cool location off the beaten path it’s one of the best kept secrets in Sonoma.

Great service

Terrible service. Server didnt acknowledge us. Took forever even though it wasnt busy. Would never go back.

The place is nice but the wine and service is terrible. The wine is mediocre at best. The portions are very very small. Not worth the price. The greeter didn’t acknowledge us. She was very rude and passive aggressive. She made our experience an unpleasant one. Will never go back.

Friendly knowledgable staff in a great town. We Aussies loved Sonoma and this wine bar in particular

This place doesn’t always show up in searches and it should. I’ve only been a couple of times but enjoyed it each time.

Not worth the time... bad wine and snobby servers...

Member for 10+ years. Obviously good wine and service.

Super friendly, great wine, and fun atmosphere.

Great wines, friendly staff
