What a fantastic experience we had at Square Peg!! From the moment we pulled up we could tell it was a special place! We strolled around the grounds, took in the vines and orange trees and rolling hills, then headed in to the tasting room. Surrounded by gorgeous sculptures and vivid paintings, we tasted some great wines and learned a bit about the grapes and the wine industry. Such a wonderful experience -- we will definitely be heading back for more!
We had a such a fun time with a tasting with Alex! Really enjoyed the variety of wines as well as learning more about the wine business in Sonoma.
Beautiful tasting room - we will definitely be back!
Square Peg Winery – A Consistent Gem for Pinot Noir and More
Located practically in our own backyard, Square Peg Winery has been a favorite destination for years. They’ve consistently been a source of some of the finest Pinot Noir in Northern California, but it’s worth noting that their Chardonnay and especially their Zinfandel remain underrated treasures—the latter perhaps their best-kept secret.
The tasting room is a visual delight, overlooking vineyards that are notable for being never irrigated. The space is decorated with the owner’s own artwork—sculptures and paintings—which add a creative, personal touch to the atmosphere.
All of this serves as a beautiful backdrop to the winery’s main attraction: the wine itself. Whether savoring their celebrated Pinot Noir or discovering the complexity of their lesser-known varietals, the experience is both satisfying and memorable.
As ordinary consumers, we are not paid or compensated in any way for this review. Square Peg continues to stand out as a place of quality, character, and consistent excellence.
Great experience for us. We were in the area mid week and trying to find a winery to check out and happened to get lucky finding Alex and Square Peg. We had a very relaxed and educational tasting, got to see the vineyard and much more. Really appreciate the experience and knowledge Alex, thank you to you and your farm!
My wife and I visited Square Peg Winery on May 19, 2025; it was easily one of the highlights of our time in wine country. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the warm hospitality, stunning surroundings, including the art, and the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that defines this hidden gem.
We are big fans of the Zinfandels. They are bold yet balanced, rich in character, and beautifully expressive of the estate’s unique terroir, especially ”Big Larry.”
The tasting itself was intimate, thoughtfully guided, and just a lot of fun with Alex. The winery is perched in a picture-perfect setting, with peaceful vineyard views and a sense of calm that makes you want to linger a little longer.
We left with several bottles of our favorite Zinfandels, and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Square Peg isn’t just a winery — it’s a place to slow down, connect, and savor some truly exceptional wine.
If you’re a fan of Zinfandel, do not miss this spot. Highly, highly recommended.
Alex was incredible, funny, knowledgeable and generous. Their wines were unique and complex and the location was stunning. Alex knew so much about the region and the vines and shared so very special bottles with us. We felt deeply grateful for the hospitality.
Such a great find! Alex is a phenomenal host. The wines are awesome. The artwork in the gallery is exceptional.
We had an amazing tasting at Square Peg with Alex. This is a TRUE small family operation and their wines show it. Everything we tasted was excellent and everyone in our party of five made a purchase.
Alex's mother's artwork on the wall paired with her sculptures and the windows overlooking the vines just added to the experience. The grounds surrounding the tasting room are beautiful with well kept gardens and special bonus -- a grove of redwoods!
We loved this winery and will revisit if we find ourselves in Sonoma again.
Brad is an authentic grower with a passion for independent wine and it was a real treat getting to hear about the history of his vineyard and his wines. Thank you so much!
