Loving it here, it’s changed so much the last 5 years since I last visited. A dog friendly winery, open by APPOINTMENT ONLY, good wine, different varietals, organically grown grapes, food and wine pairings now, vegetable garden and a lot more fun.Members only outdoor tasting in the hill, with gorgeous vineyards view, palm trees for days, such a happy place!

Really well executed wines and the food is perfect. All paired well. Plus the service is always friendly

Could not have been more delighted with our food/wine pairing here! We made a reservation for a Saturday afternoon several weeks in advance, and had great seats under umbrellas outside the hacienda. Our server was lovely, and the food and wine were top notch. The Chardonnay is one of the best you’ll have, as is the rosé! Plus, the food is tasty and light, nothing too heavy but it’s plenty to keep you sustained during wine tasting. We loved the focaccia and the hummus especially!

This was my first time at this winery and really enjoyed the laid back casual vibe. There was outdoor seating with umbrellas. And even though we had just been to a different winery about 15 minutes away and had experienced some breeziness, it was calm and very pleasant at Scribe. They greeted us with pours of Rosé of Pinot Noir and plenty of bites to go along with our wine tasting. I only wish that they had an area where guests could relax and wander on the grass so that we weren’t limited to our seating area only.

Dined and drank at the Hacienda and had a great experience. Staff was very friendly and flexible, wines were great, hacienda and grounds made you feel like you were in Cuba

Gorgeous scenery, delicious food, decent wines. That said, service was mediocre (they forgot about us and we had to ask to continue tasting) and it seems outrageous to me that they charge $70 per person for a small pour of 4 wines. There are so many other beautiful places to drink delicious wine in the area I dont think Ill be going back.

Really enjoyed the experience. Food was delicious, wine was great. Took one star off for price.

I lovvvve this place. The wine, food, and atmosphere are all amazing. Its a total Sonoma gem and I am so glad I stumbled upon it via google maps. Theyre extremely accommodating and have a great garden and vineyard. The food is very creative, seasonal, and delicious. Make sure you make reservations over the phone to get a spot! Also dog friendly.

I was out of town when my quarterly wine shipment arrived. After a few delivery attempts UPS sent it back to Scribe. I reached out to them to see when I could pick it up. Unfortunately they were closed because of covid but the woman assisting me, Leslie, said she was happy to deliver it to me next time I was in Sonoma! Amazing service. Scribe walks the walk. You guys are the best. Thanks

Hip ️ winery place in Sonoma. Make a reservation ahead for wine tasting. It’s $60 per person, and this serves you with good amount of foods :)

Stunning setting. Excellent food and good wines. We went in November and it was still gorgeous.

Caroline is the best! The wine is our favorite and a must see place if visiting Napa/Sonoma!

We could not believe how beautiful this property was or how amazing the wine was that was paired perfectly with each course. The service was a little slow and we didnt learn as much about the wines as we did at other vineyards because of the meal pairing, but the experience was amazing and we really enjoyed our time on the property.

Great location, but you need a membership to access all their services and products. Whoever did the landscape design made a great job. Interiors in shabby chic style

Beautiful vineyard with great wine, food & staff!

Gorgeous property and good, interesting wine. However, wine club and the experience around visits are an okay value, as events are full and you cant get a tasting if you call six or eight weeks out. While many people on the team are genuinely nice, weve sometimes felt a subtle tone of indifference in how the team handles inquiries, as though its some sort of exclusive club, which is weird.

The most peaceful Winery in Sonoma County with an exquisite menu

Lovely experience tasting wines at Scribe. Great wines, great pairings, and great views. The food was so tasty that we think they should open a restaurant.

Tried to move in but they wouldn’t let us... calm, relaxed and wonderful food pairing. Go visit but plan ahead and get reservations for the full experience!

Hipster paradise. The staff is beautiful. The wines are lovely. The atmosphere is idyllic. Yes.

We loved everything about our experience, from the food to the wine! Service was great as well as the view!

Best place in Sonoma, great view, great wine. Great staff

This is a great winery! The staff and ambience were phenomenal. Thanks again!

Can’t wait to experience harvest time.

Good wine. Good food. Good people. Chill place and was a solid start to our 9 wineries throughout 3 days trip. This was written after visiting all 9 so not just the excitement level of number 1

Scribe is my favorite and a hidden gem. Please don’t tell anyone else how amazing this place is. A friend recommended and we have been members for a number of years and love every moment.

It’s not just a place where you taste beautiful wines you also eat simple fresh and local food ! Simple food is always hard to make and it’s the best ! Thanks you for this great moment ! We will be back :)

Make sure you make a reservation! Great food paring and wine. The squad and Cabernet Sauvignon are my favorite! The wind picked up and they even provided us blankets! Amazing winery experience. Must do!!

Perfect sunset and excelent service!

Scribe is a lovely spot. The upper and lower house are both well managed and give visitors lots of options for fresh air or friendly indoor services. The garden is sweet. Everyone Ive encountered on staff is friendly and engaging, and the food is great/fresh. Also, I love the wine. The wine is very good. This is the only winery where Ive felt the need to send wine back to my parents in the Midwest - and when that happened, and the wine froze in transit, Scribe totally handled the situation and fixed everything. My dad was very impressed. So thanks, Scribe, for granting me some hard-won Dad Masur approval.

Wow. No open tastings, dont mention anything about needing reservations. No bar area to stand up? Open tables and saying we cant sit? Pathetic. When you drive 30 minutes to get told that, very bad form. Not classy move. Dont recommend.

We absolutely adored our visit here. Its was so peaceful and the folks working were so sweet and knowledgeable. We didnt know much about the wine process and they openly answered our questions without judgement or annoyance. We will be back for sure.

Nice wines, overpriced tasting with service that failed to support the price . Beautiful property. Please know that the First tasting 1/4 is “complimentary” because they won’t be able to seat you at the time of the reservation. This is part of the 1/4 tastings so we only had 3 tastings as a table. Food was ok. Good for two peoples. However very expensive for 3 tastings with somewhat abrupt service that expected us to join the wine club.

Everyone loves this place. And it lives up to the hype. Food is AMAZING. Wine is AWESOME. one of my best winery and tasting experience. maybe not a full meal portion but enough food is served - fresh produce off the farm right there. Make sure to book in advance.

Our favorite wine tasting experience in Sonoma county. Delicious wine and food with a gorgeous environment!

Love the easy vibe of scribe. You buy a bottle, grab a blanket and enjoy the view. If youd like a guided tasting they offer that as well. Just ask for the Hacienda Food and Wine tasting. Its a lovely lunch with 4 glasses of their wines.

Theres a good reason why everyone loves this place. While it may be built up due to social media hype (take a look at all the bloggers and blogger boyfriends sitting next to you), the wines are great, the food is delicious, and members get to sit at the top of the hill with a beautiful view. Staff is attentive and passionate about their product so ask they questions and they will engage.

Incredible.

This is probably one of the best winery in Sonoma! From Rose as their welcome wine to Pinot noir to end the tasting it is impeccable!!! My favorite is their skin fermented Chardonnay. Also, they do food pairing from their garden. I have allergies and they were able to accommodate at short notice. Angela our host is very friendly host!

Number one rule about fight club. You dont talk about fight club.

This winery is absolutely the definition of picturesque! A tiny gem from the 1920s in Sonoma not more than an hour from San Francisco makes this an ideal weekend getaway. They are family owned and operated including the head chef!Their tasting menu ($60/person) with 4 wines and 3 small plates, all locally sourced, is perfect for family or friends to spend a pleasurable hour or two on their outdoor patio but still an intimate setting unlike other larger crowded wineries in the area. We didn’t have reservations but they were able to squeeze us in, but you should definitely book in advance. Their Chardonnay really stood out with it’s crisp flavor. We didn’t expect this but we ended up picking up a jar of scribe honey. Highly recommend this spot!

Loved the vintage atmosphere, the delicious wines served to taste with nibbles outside, and the stunning views of the vineyards.

Bangin Riesling! And the fresh produce for lunch were very pleasant. Recommend swinging by

Lovely atmosphere, calm, romantic, beautiful location, one of the best wine tasting experiences we ever had. Highly recommend!

Rude to my friend, a new member. Miscommunicated and didnt own the miscommunication.

Was suggested to try this place so we googled the website which said open from 10:30 to 5--- we show up and were met by a dog who is barking and nipping at me. Get to the top and was welcoming by a man asking if we have a reservation (there was only 2 of us). We did not have a reservation. He told us that they were not available today as they were delivering to their customers this weekend. What? You have no time for new customers? And no signs up front stating so? We werent looking for free handouts- but wanted to ship a case of good wine home to us. Id suggest Schug winery just down the street. They were amazing and inviting. Scribe lost a new customer because they were too busy to even ask what we may be looking for. Bad, bad customer service!!! We bought two cases from someone else.

The staff, location and ambiance of this Victorian inspired Mission styled property combine to make for a charming venue and inviting experience that is on par with best wineries weve seen so far in Sonoma.

Absolutely wonderful experience all around. I was visiting with family from Minnesota, and since we happened to be in the area I called the morning of on the off chance they would have an opening and got lucky! They managed to fit us in, but it didnt feel like we were last minute additions! We were greeted warmly and everything was prepared beautifully for us.The wine was the best Ive ever tasted, hands down. The food pairings went perfectly with the wine, and the staff member working with us, Anna I believe, was so helpful and pleasant and clearly in love with what she was doing. We learned a ton about what we were drinking, the history of the area, and the process of wine-making in general. A fascinating conversation.The setting was spectacular, with rustic picnic tables under beautiful trees on a hillside overlooking the valley, with a view of the water and the stunning hills. It was like a fairytale and I could have easily stayed all day. We couldnt have asked for a more perfect experience, and it was undoubtedly a highlight of our trip.

The Food was Truly delicious and the Service was Fantastic

The food was great the wine better than the food and the service could not be any better! Definitely glad we stopped in here. Wine tasting on the patio with food pairings was a bargain!

Great innovative wines in a gorgeous setting with friendly staff. Food & wine pairings are amazing!

Had a great lunch and a relaxing afternoon on the hill with a bottle of delightful wine and some friends.

Great location, amazing wine, friendly staff and magnificent view.

The hipster game is strong with this winery, but damn the wine is good. Worth the visit and club shipments.

Nice scenery, one restroom for the many customers is definitely a minus.

Scribe Winery is a cut above and beyond the typical wine tour circuit. There is no tasting room with robotic pours and disinterested explanations but rather a handful of picnic tables scattered on a hillside overlooking the vineyard. Reservations are a must. Staff are warm, hospitable, and knowledgable about the wines, vines, and assorted history. Nuts and cheese accompany generous pours of interesting wines. Id go back in a heartbeat. This is the way all vineyards should be run.

I like very much the food, the wine is great.

This place was MAGICAL! If you plan to visit a lot of wineries, dont come here first, because you will be ruined for all other wineries. They have created an amazing experience, from the rustic outdoor wine tasting (complete with blankets for cool days), to the included food accompaniments and one on one attention and conversation from the staff. Oh, and did I mention the wine? :) I believe this was the best wine that I had in Sonoma, hands down. I am considering moving to Northern California now just to take advantage of wine club member benefits (kidding, kind of). If you like the conventional standing at a bar indoors kind of tasting, then skip Scribe. If you are looking for something exceptional, then go to Scribe!

My experience of Scribe wasnt bad, but it wasnt as stunning as some other reviews may make it out to be. There were great views, and there were delicious snacks with the tasting, but it was $25 for 4 pours — three of which were chardonnay. Our server was sweet but not very attentive, and we spent a lot of time between pours waiting. The signage coming in was *terrible* and both we and the friends we met almost wound up at the giant house thats in the middle of the area. The skin-on chardonnay was interesting, but not necessary. The idea of always experimenting is okay, but there are established methods of wine making for a reason.If youre going for a leisurely afternoon in the sun and shade, this is a great place. If youre going for a variety of wines, looking for something to buy, and to experience true Sonoma wines, skip Scribe, where youre paying for the ambiance and experience, not the wine tasting itself.

Great experience here. The staff was kind and so accommodating. The scenery is beautiful and it ambiance is wonderful with the picnic tables. Perfect for a relaxing day out in sonoma!

Beautiful scenery, a light snack, and delicious, simple wines. Mostly whites, with a distinctive bite and not too sweet. Call ahead, you need a reservation.

Nicest winery Ive seen in Sonoma. A little pricey for the tasting plus paired light bites, but great experience overall.

Favorite place in Sonoma and favorite place to watch a sunset. The staff is very nice, very helpful, and provide great recommendations for the area. Delicious wine, a nice cheese plate, and beautiful views!

Amazing! Scribe is a unique experience in Sonoma. There is no tasting room, but every group has their own picnic table where the tastings are delivered. Its reservation only but completely worth the effort. Trey was knowledgable and chill, like everyone at Scribe. He sat with us and shared stories and history of the label. The property is beautiful and every detail is covered.

Love Scribe. Excellent wines. Premium brand. Amazing experience.

Hipster Haven and an instagram dream. We tasted a Beaujolais, pinot noir, and a chardonnay. Maybe it was the fact that wed already been to two vineyards earlier in the day, but the wines were hardly palatable and left much to be desired. Tasting menu was $65 for three wine pours + less than imaginative tasting menu. There were fruit flies everywhere. On a positive note, the views were unbeatable and the new Hacienda looks straight out of a Kinfolk Magazine. Scribe is young with lots of potential to get everything right in the coming years.

Scribe is a must in Sonoma Valley! The wine is delicious (loved and purchased several of their Cab and Syrah) and the location/venue is incredible. Its perched on top of a hill overlooking their property and the lower valley. You can see the bay from that vantage point as well as watch the beautiful sunsets. I strongly recommend a visit.

Very chill and casual place with friendly associates and of course.. Good vino !

These guys are amaze-balls! Cant wait to return for another event. Fantastic wine.

Beautiful atmosphere. Dog friendly. Great wine. Great people.

Great setting but $35 for a four taster...wth. we didnt hang out to try the wine.

The view is amazing, but thats about all I can recommend. Some suggestions for the winery: please have signage from the street, something other than a spray painted sign on a piece of plywood. Also, have a list of the wines that youre serving on the website. At $35/tasting, I was disappointed to find out you only were serving chardonnay and pinot noir, which I dont care for. Offer more imaginative food pairing than what I have in my car for snacks - we were served 2 small slices of cheese, a few baguette slices, a handful of almonds and an apricot. Although our server was nice, and tried to explain the wines she was pouring, it seemed like she was struggling to find words to discuss the wines. The whole place felt like an amateurish operation.

A favorite place to wine taste with friends and enjoy the true essence of what we love about wine country!

Amazing view and unique tasting experience in an unpretentious setting.

This winery is simply amazing. Its fairly new, as far as I know, which means that the wines arent ridiculously over priced. Rather than having a tasting room (as of August 2010) they have outdoor tasting on top of a hill overlooking the vineyards and a remarkable view of the south Sonoma Valleys towards the bay. The pinot noir is amazing, as is their cab. The only regret I have is that they dont have a huge selection just yet, but what they make is worth drinking every drop. Definitely worth the stop!

Amazing views and amazing host who talked us through our tasting as we sat on picnic benches overlooking the estate. I highly recommend this winery to anyone tired of mainstream Napa Inc.

They produce mostly what I think is called Nouveau-California wines that dont really fit into the standard Sonoma Chard/Pinot Noir or occasional Syrah category. A nice informative tasting in a uniquely picturesque setting.

Great tasting wines, beautiful scenery & warm and friendly atmosphere

Good wine, great food, cozy atmosphere.

Greatest place on earth!

PERFECTION in Wine!!!!! Simply Amazing.

Always Great

So nice and relaxed

Snobby.

Unbelievable. A must visit.

Overrated is an understatement.

Amazing atmosphere.

5 star wine, hosts, and decor.
