We did the farm tour and wine/cheese tasting and it was wonderful. Fun, interesting and so beautiful. The cheese is fabulous and the pairings with their wine were lovely. Highly recommend.

Terrible customer service and rude staff. Our friends were here on a Sunday afternoon and asked if there was room for us to join them. They were told we could sit at two barrels with stools. A few minutes after we sat down and ordered a bottle of wine, another employee told us we needed to move and couldn’t sit there. The winery was pretty empty, and there should have been no issue for us to sit near our friends. Instead, they told us we had to sit on a table outside in full sun. We decided to cancel our bottle of wine and go somewhere else that wanted our business. As we were leaving, the same woman rudely told us, “better luck next time” as we were walking out. The next place we went into was super friendly and accommodating and saved the rest of our afternoon.

Pennyroyal has long been on my list of places to visit, but hadn't seemed to get there. Finally stopped in, without a reservation (but I still DO recommend one as this is a HOT spot). Bonnie was our server, and she was just so lovely! Knowledgable and genuine.The wines are delicious and well-priced. The experience is outstanding and food pairings are just over the top. This is a best in class example of why the Anderson Valley is the best place to taste wine in Northern California. Not only is the wine absolutely delicious up there, but the experiences are genuine. Napa and Sonoma are much more expensive--and reasonably so with cost of living for employees and cost of operation is higher. However, they live and breathe hospitality. Sometimes the Anderson Valley seems a bit too rustic in comparison, but Pennyroyal delivers an experience above most in all of Northern California wine country.

Great small bites! The wine was good. The cheese was to die for! Staff was super friendly. Thank you Morgan! Oh if you have time go see the goats give them a pet and some goat food.

Incredible stop, definitely worth it. We did the wine and cheese tasting (5 wines with 7 cheese pairings), SO good and very reasonably priced. They also have more food, if you are in the mood for something more substantial. The area is really picturesque too, and you get to see both the vines and the sheep and goats. All the cheeses are made on site, as well as most of the wines. Made for a beautiful afternoon.

The best deviled eggs I've ever had. Cheese is delicious. Charcuterie board was absolutely beautiful. The pinot was our favorite followed by the chardonnay.

Their farm tour (10.30 am and 2.30 pm) is so fun and educational - get to see the adorable working goats up close! Lovely outdoor space to enjoy their delicious cheese and wine.

This is a tough review to write. I've enjoyed their cheeses at numerous Anderson Valley wineries over the last eleven years and have recommended them many times. But on my last visit to the valley, I had an opportunity to actually visit them. Was I ever disappointed.I brought my girlfriend here, who had never been, because she really loves goat cheese. We didn't have reservations, so we were told we wouldn't be able to sit outside, as all the outside tables were reserved. Bummer, but OK, no big deal. Shortly after getting seated, I had to use the restroom, which is outside. I noticed lots of empty tables out there. Again, OK. Maybe they got a lot of people coming in soon. During our cheese and wine tasting, 4 couples arrived without reservations. All were given the choice to sit outside. Hmm ... let's see they were all Caucasian and I am not. To see it happen once, wasn't a big deal. But to see it happen 4 times, no way was that a coincidence. Sorry, but I have to call a spade a spade. This place, or at least the gal working the front, is racist. I will not be coming here again and I will not be recommending this place any more. This ruined our entire tasting. Even my girlfriend had to admit it was suspicious. Even though she enjoyed the cheese and wanted to buy some, she did not. She did not want to give them her business after what we witnessed.Bottom line, if you're a person of color don't come here. You will not be treated fairly.

Came here for a farm tour which is super cute when they have baby goats and baby lambs. You can't pet them but you can pet the adults. The cheese and the wines are both great here. Was pleasantly surprised and took a bottle of sauvignon blanc and pinot noir home. The goat cheese was creamy and delicious. They were out of it in store but they do sell at markets nearby. The price of a tasting was very reasonably priced. If you're tired of overpriced tastings in Napa, you should definitely swing by here for great wine and cheese

Incredible! Best smorgasbord of spreads I’ve had at a winery. Amazing wine and cheese tasting. Wish we could’ve seen the animals! We’ll be back!

Great rustic ambiance vibe. Sat outside in the heated patio and ordered the cheese board and wine tastings. Everything tasted amazing as we enjoyed our wine and food while looking the farm and mountains. The service was great as well as our server was super patient and helpful with explanations and recommendations. Highly recommended. We joined the wine club right away.

Lovely facilities and grounds, friendly staff, and great wines and cheeses! It's so rare to find a winery that offers small complimentary pairings nowadays so the farm-to-table cheese tasting was special. The covered patio was perfect for watching the rain roll through the mountains and watching the sheep and goats beyond the Vineyard. The salmon crostini was my favorite meal of our entire weekend in Mendo! Have to take home a cheese or two!

We made a last minute reservation for their flight and bites, which were delicious. The setting was beautiful - lovely grounds - and practical as there was a heat lamp above each table to keep us warm. The food paired perfectly with the wine and was SO good. I wish I could eat 100 of their homegrown potato chips with crab and caviar. The standouts for us were the Pinot Trio and the Rose Brut. Would definitely come back again if I was in the area and recommend to friends too!

Fantastic wines and cheeses and a beautiful setting. A big thank you to the friendly employees who let me and my family hang out even after they closed due to a car issue we had. It was probably the best place to be stuck waiting for a tow truck!
