Below is a running list of my Top 10 Sonoma Wineries at any given moment. This will be like the Eater 38 list which changes every month. So visit often as I’ll be updating it as I discover new Sonoma Wineries I love. Click on the link to read my post & review. Note: these wineries are ordered alphabetically, not by preference, so consider them all loved equally!

Also, I receive the question a lot asking, do I prefer Napa or Sonoma? Neither. I love any destination that has delicious wine, amazing people to meet, and fun stories to share. So, take my advice and explore as many different wine countries as you can and see all that each area has to offer and what sets it apart from neighboring wineries. Check out my Napa Top 10 Wineries and Paso Robles Top 10 Wineries for more fabulous California Wine Country ideas. Happy wine tasting!
