As a Sonoma County Local, I know just how many amazing spots there are in the area. Whether you’re visiting or a local in the area, we all love a good hidden gem… Follow along below to see The Top Sonoma Hidden Gem Wineries To Try.
Bedarra Vineyards
Bedarra Vineyards produces premium Cabernet Sauvignon from its estate vineyard. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a tasting with amazing views on their 8-acre hillside vineyard. 13390 Chalk Hill Rd, Healdsburg, CA 95448
Chenoweth Vineyards
I have fallen in love with Chenoweth Vineyards the past few times I’ve visited. It’s an absolutely gorgeous winery with stunning views and equally delicious wines that reflect the vineyard and region of California. Be sure to support more small family owned wineries like this one, in The Best Sonoma Family-Owned Wineries. Did I mention you can experience a UTV ride through their gorgeous vineyards AND they’re dog friendly! 5550 Harrison Grade Rd, Sebastopol, CA 95472

And of course I absolutely loved spending the day with Winemaker Amy Chenoweth of Chenoweth Vineyards!
DaVero Farms & Winery
DaVero Farms & Winery is committed to preserving the land, while producing delicious wines and olive oils. Their olive oils are especially delicious and featured on my blog, Delicious Olive Oils from Wineries I Adore here. In addition to their fabulous Olive Oils,this biodynamic winery is creating delicious wines and has an amazing garden with animals guests can visit. It’s quite an impressive farm and winery I suggest you check out. 766 Westside Rd, Healdsburg, CA 95448

Frick Winery
Enjoy the rocky hillside mountains with nature all around you. You can smell the pine and oak all around you, as well as taste all the intense flavors Frick Winery has to offer. This tasting room feels extremely authentic with the Owner & Winemaker Bill Frick hosting you. As of 2022, this was his 46th vintage as a Winemaker. The wines are of excellent quality, he’s very charming and knowledgeable and this is a wonderful authentic Dry Creek / Geyserville experience! 23072 Walling Rd, Geyserville, CA 95441
Kokomo Winery
Kokomo Winery is another one of the many lovely Dry Creek Wineries I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. Owner and Winemaker Erik Miller started Kokomo Winery in 2004 and named it after his hometown of Kokomo, IN. When I visited, it felt as if everyone were part of a big happy family. 4791 Dry Creek Rd, Healdsburg, CA 95448

Their wines are also absolutely divine and I would highly recommend everyone go visit and taste some of their fantastic wines. 4791 Dry Creek Rd, Healdsburg, CA 95448

Porter Creek Vineyards
Porter Creek Vineyards is a gorgeous winery in Healdsburg, my favorite place! They are a small family winery and they boast 45-year-old Pinot Noir vines that make the most delicious wine. This is the perfect rustic winery as it’s been unchanged by tourism meaning it’s a great hidden gem. What’s even better is that they’re dog and kid-friendly meaning there’s fun to be had for everyone! 8735 Westside Rd. Healdsburg, CA 95449
Skipstone Winery
Located in the lovely Geyserville area I’ve grown quite fond over, is the magnificent Skipstone Winery producing beyond stunning and impressive wines. This was a winery I kept hearing about and was told I HAD to visit it that I would fall in love and boy was I impressed! Check out my blog on My Visit to the Spectacular Skipstone Winery. 2505 Geysers Rd, Geyserville, CA 95441
Sutro Wines
I have come to adore SUTRO Wines over the years. It has blossomed into a wonderful winery with a delightful selection of wines grown from volcanic terroir. I was lucky to get to know and Interview with Winemaker Alice Sutro. It was not her passion for winemaking that blew me away. It was also her work amplifying female voices in a predominantly male-dominated business. 13301 Chalk Hill Rd, Healdsburg, CA 95448.
