Cline Family Cellars - Sonoma, California

This winery was right up our alley. Some nice deep reds and the viogner was a nice mix of smooth, sweet and bright. Our server was great and appreciated that we needed to move a touch faster because of our baby. It's a very attractive location too with fish in one pond and turtles in another. A great experience overall

Even though the wine store looks nondescript, the property itself is interesting. There is a building displaying small replicas of California missions, reminds me of high school. There is a two ponds/fountains. Two donkeys. Some fruit trees and corn. Roses. Hedges that spell out Cline.

The wine itself is so-so. And the host and service is dull.

That was such a good experience for wine testing. The staff are really excellent with their jobs we’ve got more information about wine. Bought some 2 different kinds of wine for the Christmas.

Just left Cline vineyard. We enjoyed Kent as our sommelier and the wine is great! They need to update their music in the terrace but otherwise a great experience.we definitely left with a few bottles to enjoy at home.

Our group of 15 booked a table and bought 5 bottles of wine from Cline Family Cellars to share with our picnic/charcuterie we brought along. From the moment we walked inside the tasting room we didn't feel welcome (only 4 of us came in to pick the bottles). We weren't able to sample any wines (while some people in our group went back later and were able to sample wines when employees weren't aware they were part of our group) before choosing, and our host was not knowledgeable about the wines (was not able to tell us what "ancient vine" meant). While we were picking our wine we were warned to not smoke weed because the manager would come and kick us out and the manager definitely came to check on this while we were enjoying our picnic. I've never been told this at a winery and I'm not sure if she just assumed we were the type but I was a little offended as I'm not sure if she would assume the same about older clientele. The wines were good, but in an area with such great options I don't think we would visit again based on the way we were treated. The property was pretty but I wouldn't say there was a strong highlight on the vineyards which many places in the area do a great job with. Definitely not the worst choice and hopefully after this review they rethink their customer service approach to be inclusive and welcoming to all ages.

This was a wonderful experience and great way to start our visit to Sonoma. Quinney was absolutely lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The wine was wonderful and the property is absolutely stunning. It was great to be able to enjoy the gardens while sipping wine. This was my second time here and even better than the last. Thank you!!

We’ve always been fans of the Cline winery, as it's just around the corner, and their wines never disappoint. After a recent visit, we decided to become members and it’s been such a rewarding decision. The staff and property are impeccably managed and incredibly welcoming, not to mention the wide variety of fantastic wines they offer.

In just two months, we've already returned two times, from enjoying a sun filled relaxing picnic with friends, and inside the club house in the pouring rain. The hospitality continues to impress; every time we return, we're treated even better than before. A personal touch that stood out was receiving a heartfelt thank you card from the wonderful Joi, who remembered special details about us. Her attention to detail and warmth really seems to keep everything running smoothly at this place.

We also look forward to our tastings, where we’re always greeted with enthusiasm by the delightful Jerri and the lively Ken. Their energy adds so much to the experience. We can’t wait for our next visit, and we wholeheartedly recommend this gem to anyone looking for great wine and even better company!

The property is so pretty. My kids enjoyed themselves with the water feature and feeding the fish. I liked how I can have a choice of tasting OR grab a glass and enjoy sitting outdoors. Clean bathrooms, spacious, lots of tables, staff were friendly and knowledgeable. No pressure for a cross sell or up-sell. Just a lovely way to end our Sunday.
Thank you to Clinton for his patience and conversation.
