One thing that is nice about visiting this area for wine tasting is that the wineries are not necessarily clumped together. They are spread out across the landscape. This one is worth seeking out. It is high on a hill and the view from the tasting room through the huge windows is stunning. The wines are excellent as well. I... More

Great wines, but expensive. The view is worth the trip, though. It looked just like Tuscany on the day we visited. Layers of hills in mist and shadow. I'll bet it is gorgeous on sunny day.

You simply cannot go wine tasting in Sonoma without visiting Gary Farrell. The tasting room has the best view of any winery in the County without a doubt. The wine speaks for itself and the hosts are so accommodating and friendly.

For a gorgeous Sonoma experience, Gary Farrell Winery is a must! Beautifully appointed facilities, some of the best wines you will taste in Sonoma and the attentive and genuine care of Brad with his expertise not only of his wines but also the area. Treat yourself to Gary Farrell's 2008 Hallberg Vineyard - Dijon Clones Pinot Noir....especially if you want... More

Beautiful large tasting room with wonderful ambiance and great views overlooking the valley. Staff were friendly and knowledgable about wine. We decided to share a glass for tasting and were pleasantly surprised that the pours were generous. Wonderful wines.

We had a marvelous experience when my boyfriend and I went up there. It is a drive to get to - but WELL WORTH IT! Our taster was amazing, knowledgable and even taught us two locals a few new tricks. Go there - you will not regret it!

Nice views from the top of the hill, but the tastings left me underwhelmed. Good pinots on the reserve list, but i wanted to taste more chards...there was only one. I would likely have bought some wine there, but the tasting fee was not waived with purchase. Not a good value in my view.
