While recently celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary, my husband George and I thought it would be a cool idea to stop by the winery that bought Stryker. We had our wedding and reception at Stryker and were longtime wine club members, so we wanted to see what the new winery was like compared to Stryker. At one point, we belonged to many wine clubs in Sonoma Valley. Stryker was one of our favorites. The amazing location, the staff, and of course the wine made Stryker one of the premier wineries in the area. As we approached the parking lot, we were very surprised to see that there were no cars, so we wondered if they were closed. No, they weren't closed, but they might as well have been because the customer service was so abysmal that we wish we hadn't wasted our time. We entered an empty tasting room except for one employee. Looking forward to what we believed would be a nostalgic experience, we announced to the employee that we were married at Stryker and were celebrating our wedding anniversary. To our surprise, the employee asked if we had reservations. We pointed out that there was no one else in the tasting room. The canned response was something like 'we have a lot of reservations later, so I'll have to check with my manager to see if we can fit you in.' At that point, we were like, really? And then he told us the exorbitant tasting fee. I have to admit we haven't gone tasting in Sonoma Valley in a while, but when did it become Napa West? And what's up with not offering wine by the glass? At that point we just left in disgust. Well, at least we have our beautiful memories of our Stryker days. The picture is from our wedding at Stryker, back in the good old days of excellent customer service.

We were very excited to visit this winery after seeing the pictures online, love the modern aesthetic with the full glass building. It was a chilly January afternoon. We very much enjoyed our tasting and the charcuterie plate we ordered ahead of time. Lost of great wines and variety in varietals. The building was beautiful, the staff was friendly, informative and we loved the wines. The grounds are also beautiful with the January cover crops coming in between the vineyards. We picked up a bottle of the sangiovese but will come back for many more wines in the future.

We were given a coupon from hotel. Barbara was similar to a gestapo type person. She wanted our name, email and phone numbers for a free tasting. She was so forceful we just left. We loved this winery for years As Stryker but now it's mismanaged. The last time we went the wine was awful but we thought we would give it a chance.bad idea. Winery has a beautiful view though.

What a lovely property and delightful afternoon wine tasting. We visited here in the past, and I'm finally catching up on my reviews. We will definitely revisit when we're back in the area.

I organized a wine tasting experience here for my wife’s birthday at the end of July. The staff was amazing, from help planning and booking through to Brian serving us on our special day. They were so nice and flexible. We had our numbers change and kids to boot… not a problem. We sat outside on the patio, which was gorgeous, and took a peak inside which was also stunning. Brian was very passionate and knowledgeable. Needless to say the wine was delicious. I look forward to coming back for one of their events, such as the art themed ones he’s organizing. Well worth the extra drive from the bay. What a gem.We are FFWS members and loving it.

This is a very nice looking winery but not customer friendly. We wanted to have a glass of wine but they only offer a bottle service or wine tasting. We didn't do either so we were asked to leave when we tried to sit at the terrace to enjoy the view just because we didn't do either. I really thought that was rude since it was only me and my husband in the winery at noon on a Monday.

I love this place. Pedro, Quinn, and Brenda are always ready to showcase their best. I switched my membership from Sebastiani to this winery as everything they pour is better than the last. Started writing this review like last year and never finished it. So the people listed above may no longer be there. Haha. So much changes in one year, but you know what still remains solid? Great wine! It's made by even better wine makers with the entire team production, and sold by front of house staff. This one, Clos Pegase and the Castle are my favorite places.
