RECENT REVIEWS Trip Advisor | July 12, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Perfect visit to Gary Farrell.”My wife and I visited on the first morning of our 25 th anniversary vacation, and they definitely set the bar high for the rest of our trip. Thankfully, it was a beautiful day and we were the only ones scheduled for a tour and tasting. We were met by Lianne, one of the concierges, who was our personal host for our tour. She lead us on a tour of the winery, including the crush pad and barrel room. We then sat in the courtyard and tasted through many of the amazing wines in their portfolio. Lianne was an excellent host, and we felt very comfortable and unrushed during our tasting. Near the end of the visit, the manager of the winery even came over to say hello during a busy morning and recommended a place to get some lunch. It was a great experience from beginning to end. Trip Advisor | July 12, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Best tasting ever.”Great wines, wonderful educators, extraordinary venue makes Gary Farrell a do-not-miss stop in Sonoma. Trip Advisor | July 11, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Great Chards.”We had a tasting on the terrace,beautiful views.We were served great chardonnays and really good Pinots. Lianne was very knowledgeable explaining all the wines to us. Then since we really really liked the Chards she went and brought out a special one for us to taste. We had such a marvelous experience and fun that we joined the Club, and I cant wait for September when our first shipment arrives. If you like chardonnay and Pinot noirs dont miss Gary Farrell Winery a reservation is needed. Trip Advisor | July 11, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Another successful wine pick up”Gary Farrell is always a great stop. I live close enough to pick up and look forward to it with each shipment. I love that I can customize my wine club shipments and have not had a problem scheduling a terrace tasting. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly. The view is spectacular and the wine never disappoints. Trip Advisor | June 13, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Best wine and setting in RRV”We've had the great pleasure of visiting Gary Farrell Winery several times over the last 18 months. First, their wines are incredible and represent the best Pinot and Chardonnay in the region. Second, the facilities are set amongst the best views in the valley. And lastly the great employees of Gary Farrell are always so welcoming and a pleasure to hang with!! Will always find time to visit when in the area!!! Trip Advisor | June 13, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Great experience!!”We love Gary Farrell wines...first time to the Winery. Such a beautiful view! So peaceful and serene in RRV. Lydia was amazing! She was extremely attentive, fun and didn't rush us. We ended up Club Members. Have already received our first shipment. Flawless!! And Lydia sent us a handwritten Thank you note. Nice. I am going to enjoy this. Trip Advisor | June 10, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “A Must Do!”An awesome opportunity to explore some of Sonoma County's finest wines in a spectacular setting.

Yelp | June 7, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Loved all that we tried”Have visited 6 wineries / tasting rooms this week. This is the only one that I am reviewing. VIEW-unreal. Simply stunning view. WINE-loved all that we tried. Big fan of lower alcohol wines because I like to actually taste the fruit. HOST(ESS)-Lydia was fantastic. Very friendly and enjoyed conversing with her and the others. Trip Advisor | May 11, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Tasting at Gary Farrell Winery”The tasting experience at Gary Farrell is fantastic! The tasting was beautifully laid out in a private room. And, our "host" was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and accommodating. Every part of the experience was a wonderful wine journey. Unforgettable! Trip Advisor | May 5, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Russian Beauty”Even though we had our tour on a rainy day we could appreciate the beauty of the Russian River from the patio of the Gary Farrell wine tasting area. Ruthanne was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the winery's history and about the wine making process almost like she was one of the owners. She was fun and quick-witted. She even gave us tips on some hidden gems to go to, to take pictures of the Russian River. We spent an hour past our tour and tasting time just enjoying an additional glass of wine on the semi-covered patio. The wine was some of the best we tasted that weekend. This winery is definitely worth the visit. Trip Advisor | April 9, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Great wine and views”We stop at this winery every time we visit the Sonoma area. We were so impressed with their wines, we join their wine club which allows us to enjoy really great wines for very reasonable prices. Their wine club works with you as far as delivering the wine shipments according to your needs which is very important to us. Highly recommend that you visit this fantastic winery and their tasting room. Trip Advisor | April 3, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “It's all about the experience!”Great terrace tasting with side by side tastings of Chardonnay and Pinot. Very approachable wines and atmosphere. Some of the best views in the Sonoma area- on the terrace and in the tasting room. Worth the drive to see and experience this! Trip Advisor | February 2, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Great time - must go!”We had a Gary Farrell Pinot Noir at a Sonoma restaurant we loved, so we scheduled a tasting. What a great decision. The tasting room is charming with a great view. The wines superb. I highly recommend visiting the winery. Trip Advisor | February 1, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “The Best Winery by far”Gary Farrell is absolutely one of the best experiences! The staff goes above and beyond and the wine is delicious! Views for days- do not miss Gary Farrell! Trip Advisor | January 10, 2016 | 5/5 Stars “Great Russian River venue”Been here several times and keep coming back. We did a terrace tasting this time and loved it. Lovely setting outdoors with intimate feel despite other parties around. Program printed with your name on it personalizes the experience. Expert staff led us through the tasting of some excellent wines. These are great wines but at a price.
