This is a fine mid-sized winery with a lovely ambiance, fantastic view, and really nice owner, Deepak, who got us all set up for a picnic we'd brought with a cheese board and knife despite that we only bought one bottle of wine, but what a good bottle it was! Nice staff as well. Very sincere and not pushy about... More

I made an appointment for 9 of us with Deepak. He was extremely accommodating and understanding when we needed to push our appointment back by thirty minutes. We are able to sit outside next to the lake for the vintners tasting, which was a beautiful setting. Deepak let us take our time and we never felt rushed. We felt extremely... More

You can tell our tour guide is in love with wine! She was overly excited and enthusiastic, maybe a bit too much for our first tour of the day... but she poured many tastings so that made it okay! We got the full tour and explanation. Might have been a bit overboard but overall it was a good tour. The... More

Excellent wines, and well served. The Tasting Room is really remarkable, and the view exceptional. About 4 miles from Sonoma. Should be on your list of places to visit.

Nicholson Ranch Winery is in the southern foothills of the Sonoma Valley and well worth a visit, the vineyards of Nicholson Ranch are planted in one of the world's most prized grape-growing regions. When we arrived we were greeted with a table packed with cheeses and meats , and wines as an entree and welcome. Then were treated to a... More

As I noted in another post, I'm pretty much a wine novice, and I finally gave up trying to identify which 2 or 3 wineries to visit in Sonoma would be best for a newbie. This is not it. I'm sure this is a great place for someone who knows their wine (and my rating isn't for the wine, it's... More

This was an unplanned stop. The service was friendly and attentive to our tastes. We took our selections outside to view the beautiful setting. We did not have time to stay for a tour but noted that was an option. Quiet, unpretentous atopshere.
