Roche Winery - Sonoma, California

Walked in and this was our first tasting in Sonoma since we were right around the corner. Read reviews on their outdoor spot being nice and accommodating for pets. It was pouring out so we were hoping they had some covered areas which they did.
Sandy was super nice and helpful. Had a great time. Definitely recommend this place! She even recommended other places to check out while we are out and about. 👌🏽

This is our favorite tasting room around the Sonoma Plaza. It’s open earlier and later than most others in the area, the staff is friendly, the outdoor area is relaxing and comfortable, they have good wine and even been now if you want to mix it up. Be sure to visit the winery proper about a ten minute drive south.

Would highly recommend. Shout out to Melissa who was extremely knowledgeable about the wines, personable and made our tasting experience fun. I liked their casual setting and flexible tasting approach. My husband and I split tastings: one reserve and one standard and it was easy to go back and forth between the options. We enjoyed the Carneros Pinot and French Oak Chardonnay. I think this place has something for everyone. We had no food as were ate lunch across the street at EDK. We did end up joining their membership as we found it flexible and reasonably priced.

If this had been our first stop,I may have felt differently about our visit but with so many choices in the area, the competition is steep .Highlights, I really enjoyed their cheese and fruit plate and tap room for AC while tasting. Downside. We were given a packet of roughly 5 crackers for the cheese plate for 2 people, which didn't even come close to enough. When I asked if we could have a few more crackers, we were told they could sell them to us. Ok fine, sell them to us. The pours were extremely inconsistent between the two of us. My partner had a reasonable 1-2 oz pour per wine whereas mine was maybe 1 oz and service was very slow despite it being a Monday, with very little information given about the wine by the woman serving unless prompted.

Very crowded on a Saturday night being one of the only wineries on the square open past 5PM. If you want to do a tasting visit earlier in the day, but stopping in for a glass of wine (as wine members too) was very enjoyable. They have a great outdoor space and snacks for purchase as a good pre-dinner stop.

My favorite winery, one of the few wineries that carries sweet wines. If you prefer sweet wines this is the place for you, tastings range from $35-$45, waived if you purchase bottles. Outdoor and indoor bars, friendly staff. Open late (7pm which is late for Sonoma). They now have beer! Something for everyone!

My wife and I love coming into the sonoma area and once visit we had lunch at the Eldorado Kitchen. Well, lucky for us there was wine tasting across the street!!!

We sat outside because it was a nice cool day and sitting by the fire with some red wine sounded right up our alley. Our sommelier was very nice and informative and we both got a Reserve tasting flight. We both really liked their pinot's and their Genevieve varietal.

If your ever in the area I would highly recommend stopping by. we went there on a weekday but I can see where they would be packed after normal business hours and on the weekends due to tourism travel so plan and make reservations accordingly!

Strange tasting experience. Our server was not very familiar with the wines and didn’t tell us about each before pouring. The atmosphere is relaxed but seems dirty. 2 Stars for a very affordable tasting and decent wine for the price. $20 tasting fee waived with one bottle purchase. Bottles range from low $20s to mid $30s.
