Gundlach Bundschu Winery - Sonoma, California

Incredibly picturesque grounds, buildings, gardens, rolling hills with tasting tables! Absolutely lovely. As I understand it they're the second oldest winery in Sonoma and obviously have a lot of pride in what they do. There is a private wine club called Bacchus, and for my palate, it appears the wines I would want most are available to club members. Rose is delicious, but I'm more of a Cabernet Sauvignon person, and I found them to be delicious but a bit soft. I need a little bit more of a fruit forward bite in the finish. For $80 you can do the cave experience which is private tour underground and full flight tastings, and if you want to sit in the outside covered area, that requires reservations but also provides access to top tier wines. It's a lovely place for you, especially to come with friends and to sit and drink and talk and just be.

Must stop location! Kent and Lucy both helped make our time there very enjoyable.

Lucy greeted us as soon as we walked into the property, making us feel at home while Kent, our wine educator, prepared to show us around the property.

Kent is a phenomenal story teller and just a genuinely kind human being. Hearing the history of the property through his words was a great time.

After our tour, Lucy was very hospitable and helped us get set up with a cheese board (highly recommend) and a bottle of our favorite wine from the tour.

Both of these wonderful people made our time out at the winery very enjoyable and something we will look back fondly on.

We had an incredible experience here celebrating a milestone birthday. Everything from the service to the wine to the atmosphere was top notch. In fact, we enjoyed our time so much that we canceled other plans we made to squeeze in a second tasting before our return trip home. We had a non-drinker in our group who enjoyed this Sonoma property far more than any other we visited due to its laid back environment, gorgeous scenery, and inclusiveness. Also, the snacks!! The Pinzer tour with John was not to be missed. We immediately signed up for the Bacchus club, which was a hit at Thanksgiving. We look forward to many more bottles (and return trips) in our future.

Gun Bun! Absolutely the most fun you could have. Fantastic story about how this was founded and handed off. Love history and the cave. Have to talk about Kent, what an amazing storyteller, you have to ask him for your tour. We had the best time, great way to spend our 10-year anniversary.

Spent a beautiful Saturday afternoon here with just the regular wine tasting and it was delectable! The winery is gorgeous and the staff are incredibly friendly. My only critique is…I wish it was open later! I could’ve stayed all night and enjoyed the views and wine 🩷

We had an amazing time at gun bun! The wine and the beautiful atmosphere would warrant 5 stars alone. However, the true magic of this place is with the service. We were lucky enough to have Kent as our guide. What an amazing guy! We will forever remember what a lovely person he is. He made us feel like we were apart of his family. His amazing energy is easily transferred onto others, what a gift he has. We are so grateful to have had such a lovely day.

Had a cave tour here in August. Amazingly beautiful property matching the excellent wine. Jamie, our tour guide, was knowledgeable on both the wine and the winery — as well a lot of fun. A winery not to be missed in the Sonoma Valley.

We love GB winery! We held our wedding welcome event at their Block 19 venue, and it was the perfect night. While the winery's event team had some complications on their end, they were always flexible and able to help us craft an amazing event. Everyone from the winery was incredibly helpful and friendly at the party as well. Between the beautiful setting and the delicious wine, it was an absolute dream.
