Great wine and great atmosphere. The whole atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. My fiance and I loved visiting Highway 12 and appreciated the time Gregg spent with us talking about each wine.

We stopped at Sonoma Plaza during our wine tour with Antony from Small-Group Wine Country Tour from San Francisco with Tastings booked via Tripadvisor. Highway 12 had a red wine blend on their main web page, so we stopped for a quick tasting. The wines were good, and they got us back to our tour on time.

Nicholas provided a masterfully guided tour of Carneros and the Sonoma valley through his excellent and spot on descriptions of Highway 12 wines. They’re tucked away in an alley, but don’t overlook the signs pointing to one of Sonoma Plaza’s hidden gems.

Extra special attention. Come early when Mike is serving. He was exceptional in food and wine pairing. (Bring your own charcuterie). Other staff is similarly great. Highly recommended.

Adorable venue, both of the staff members were lovely and helpful! What pretty wines we had! We probably bought too much since we have so much red at home but couldn’t help ourselves. The bread sticks are a nice touch!

I tasted their wine Highway 12 in the Fairmont hotel as they give this bottle complementary in rooms, I was so impressed that found the winery online and researched it. So here is why- I lately super sensitive to wines especially reds - and if drink more than 1,5 glass I have a headache after most wines. This one didn’t give me any hangover and I indulged 3 glasses of it. Plus my hubby joined and loved it. You guys did an amazing job on the quality. Congratulations and my head thanks you for the wine I can drink and enjoy! Will buy a lot.

How is this place rated so well!? We tried every wine on their tasting menu and they were all horrible!!! I have never seen a dump bucket overflow before in my life. 6 people (2 in the industry) and not one of us could find a wine we would call palatable.

Andrew - we read your review and will let our long-standing, loyal customers speak for our wine quality. Can’t win ‘em all we suppose but we are pretty darn close given our track record. From the clear tone of your sentiments it sounds like you will not return which is okay by us.

A+++ experience. Best wine tasting experience me and my group have ever had. Mike and Ronan are the best, they make the experience, would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Try to get a reservation in the hayloft, it felt like a VIP experience!

Such a cool, small, quaint place. Me and my cousin came in too late for a tasting but had a glass of vine with the gentleman working. Was a nice experience with great music playing. Would highly recommend this place for small groups

We stopped here with our friends strictly based on reviews and using the Priority Wine Pass offer of 2 for 1 tasting. We absolutely loved this tasting room. We were a little early due to traveling from Oregon and there was no problem getting seated. We completely enjoyed the wines and chatting with Christina. If we didn't live in Oregon and have to pay shipping for wine club releases we would have joined on the spot. Such a lovely find!

It my and my fiancé's first time in Sonoma, so we decided to go for a wine tasting and we are SO glad that we found this place and stopped in. It's such an amazing environment with great music, great service, and terrific wines. Other wineries will have a tough time beating this experience.
