You don’t need to be a sommelier to enjoy a nice glass of Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. But after visiting one of our top seven most beautiful Napa Valley area wineries, you just might be surprised at how much you learn – not just about wine, but also about your wine-tasting preferences. .

Perhaps your palate is already developed and you are well-acquainted with the difference between a Russian River Valley Pinot and a Santa Rosa Cab

Regardless, we invite you to enjoy wines to the fullest at the rolling hills and stucco-clad estate vineyards of our top seven Sonoma area winery suggestions. Ready to raise a glass? We know we are! That said, let’s now dive into some of the most scenic wineries in Sonoma County.

1. Ledson Winery & Vineyards

As unique tasting experiences go, Ledson Winery & Vineyards is up there. What’s now the tasting room was once a 16,000-square-foot “castle”. Sip on sparkling wine while enjoying fountains, turrets, and a wide variety of tasting bars.

2. Scribe Winery

Scribe, which is managed by fourth-generation California farmers, houses a quaint, cream-colored mission-style hacienda tasting room perfect for enjoying a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or Cabernet Sauvignon alike!

3. Francis Ford Coppola Winery

Nestled in the Dry Creek Valley, Francis Ford Coppola Winery may sound familiar to you – it was, at one time, owned by the famed director of the same name! You may have even had their wines before. But if you haven’t been to their winery in Geyersville, you should try it out sometime.

4. Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery

Ferrari-Carano has vineyards spread throughout California in places like Alexander Valley & Sonoma Valley so if you’re looking for the best Sonoma wineries to visit, it’s sure to offer an exciting experience. In fact, you can book one of several experiences here for a full-on sensory experience.

Whether you prefer Sunday wine & brunch in a Sycamore Grove or a Fontana Pergola Reserve Wine Tasting surrounded by olive trees and gardens, Ferrari-Carano is a must-visit spot, and most deserving of its place among the top 10 wineries in Sonoma.

5. Copain Winery

One of the best wineries in Sonoma by far, Copain Winery offers a natural hilltop setting to sip on your favorite glass of red (or white – or rose) that overlooks the Russian River Valley. Relaxed yet elevated, this is certainly a great spot to go wine tasting for scenery and the wine.

6. Fort Ross Vineyard & Winery

A list of the most beautiful wineries in Sonoma wouldn’t be complete without a mention of Fort Ross Vineyard & Winery, which offers not just valley views, but also ocean views. While only private tastings are available by-appointment-only, you do not want to miss the chance to experience this scenic oasis — or its luxe libation offerings.

7. Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Jordan Vineyard & Winery in the Alexander Valley has an Alsace look and feel, transporting you to a different mindspace replete with ivy and rose; orchids and scenic pastures.
