This place is an experience. I cannot say enough great things about the experience and the tasting. My favorite was Stagecoach Road.

We visited the Fort Ross Tasting Room and Winery on a whim, seeing the sign driving down the coast. The staff was kind and welcoming, despite not having reservations. We were treated to a delightful tasting serviced with wonderful bites. We dined on a warm patio overlooking the forrest and Pacific Ocean. Such a treat, and many thanks to the staff.

A great experience with their tasting and bites for lunch. Jeff was a great host. The owners are South African, so be sure to try the Chenin Blanc and Pinotage…both are very nice. The Late Harvest Chardonnay was great. Buy a few bottles and they wave the tasting fee portion. We will definitely revisit on a future trip to the area.

Extremely over priced, basically 4 bites of food with a few sips of wine. A pleasant experience with a lovely view, but we got a full, delicious dinner (with wine) down the road at Rivers End for less than we paid for this tiny snack!

Really beautiful property and the wines were all delicious. While tasty and well matched, the food pairings were quite tiny for the $$ spend. Check it out if you're in the area. It's a nice change of pace from the inland vineyards.

Such a hidden gem tucked away on the hillside overlooking the ocean a little outside Jenner. We were staying in Sea Ranch and decided to take a day trip to Fort Ross Vineyard. We called to make reservations and they were able to get us in during the Fourth of July holiday weekend the next day. It only took us 45 minutes to drive. The estate is gated and you have to call at the gate to be buzzed in (they have a phone at the gate to call). The estate is gorgeous and has stunning views. We were greeted with a welcome splash of wine before being seated for our tasting. The tastings are food paired and very well done. They have both whites and reds and we were impressed with each one. They told us they change the menu about once a month so it can be different each time you visit. We would definitely recommend and visit again!

After visiting Fort Ross State Park, we drove up the hill to the winery. Winding roads took us through the sweet smell of Redwoods to the gorgeous entrance of Fort Ross Winery. Seated on the beautiful deck under umbrellas, we were greeted by Nelly. She provided excellent service and conversation throughout our visit. I had the opportunity to taste several whites and 4 reds. Oh, so yummy! The fragrance of the wines as I swirled my glass was so enticing. None of the wines disappointed! The food was very nicely matched with the wines that enhanced the flavors of both the food and wine. I'm very glad a took a chance on visiting Fort Ross Winery. (And I left with four bottles as well hehe).

It’s the best winery in Sonoma county, in the opinion of this local who was born in wine country.The rich and fast draining soil, elevation, cool temperatures with plenty of sun, evening fog to cool the grape, all add up to the perfect climate for Pino noir and Chardonnay. They do a lot of these and they are fantastic. Good structure and acidity for both varietals.Beautiful winery to visit. Best membership I have done. The pick up parties are a blast.

If you’re asking yourself whether the drive is worth it, the answer is yes. We made a reservation for the food and wine pairing, which was an absolute steal at $55 a person. We had fried oysters, a mushroom flatbread, salmon, steak, and dessert, all paired with several vintages of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. John was a fantastic host, even going so far as to give us an extra pour for our photo shoot on the deck. Truly a hidden gem.

Wine, experience, service, and food was all fantastic. It was a highlight of my wine tasting trip not only for the breathtaking location but by far the best wine I had. Definitely out of the way from everything else so be sure to save the directions in your phone before you leave your service area!It was so good that I ended up jointing their wine club

One of our favorite stops on our honeymoon. The scenic drive there is breathtaking. Our host was incredible and the wines were fantastic. We also enjoyed the small bites pairing.
