My husband and I highly recommend this winery. We were greeted upon arrival and brought outside to our own little sitting area on the back patio. The patio is so tranquil it overlooks the winery vines. The wines are delicious. Our wine connoisseur Zackary was a delight and very informative.

A great view, friendly staff and quality wine options. The wine options are limited, but this is made up by the quality of each option. The tasing room seating is very limited, so sometimes there is not a good location to sit if you want. They do not allow outside food, which can be a problem.

Thank you, Steve, for the review. Glad you enjoyed your visit and our wines. Just a reminder, if it's not too cold or rainy, we have plenty of seating outside on our patio with a view overlooking the vineyard. We also offer gourmet lunches, available with 48 hours notice, should you want to enjoy a meal with your wine tasting. Hope you'll visit again soon.

Still working on their barrel room, but very good quality wines.
The only suggestion we have is that if food is being served, it should be kept separate from tasting.
Since the weather was slightly poor, we chose to taste in the same area where others were being served food.
Attentive staff, but they need a little more help. But overall, a very good experience.
Also nice to see the huge stainless outside! (See photos)

Poor hospitality and bad wines. Stay away if you are looking for a pleasant experience. There are too many other great wineries in the area

My husband and I were visiting for his 50th birthday. This was our second time visiting Sonoma county and Fog Crest was our favorite winery on our first visit so we were excited to go back. Well, it was nothing like the first visit. The patio was shut down because they were afraid it might rain which it never did and they said we could only do a tasting, no wine by the glass or bottle. We immediately left and we won’t be back.

We visited Fog Crest twice on our recent visit to Sonoma County. You can't tell from the street level but the driveway winds up to the winery where there is a patio with a lovely view of the vineyards, umbrellas to block the sun, a cool breeze, roses on the tables. Our first wine tasting was served to us by Rosalind who we discovered was one of the vintners. We were given lovely bread and dipping olive oil. Thomas also did an excellent job by us that day in answering questions. We went back later to enjoy a glass of their most excellent Rose' and cool down in the gentle breeze. Leslie was a joy and we chatted with her; it's obvious that she loves her job! She also gave me corks to take home for a small project I was working on. Definitely would return again.

There is no doubt that this the best upscale winery in Sonoma. Terroir crafted...quality staff...ask for Oliver...he's an expert.

The view at this winery is an absolute masterpiece. They have an awesome patio overlooking one of the vineyards with mountains in the far distance, and of course the beautiful CA weather and skies add a great deal to the ambiance. We loved all the wines we tried today so had to buy a bottle of each. Our sommelier (?), Mary, was awesome and took great care of us. She was not only very knowledgeable of the wines she served us, but had other great suggestions for places to visit while here in wine country and was super friendly. Given the views, the wine, and the service, this was definitely my favorite winery ever! What an awesome place with an awesome staff!

We went on the recommendation of a friend and were not disappointed. The wine was terrific, the service was superb and the view was gorgeous. This relatively new winery is a real gem. We bought several bottles and know we will buy more on our next visit.

This is a great winery with view and great good and wine. Even if you don't drink, it's fun to take friends there and enjoy the bounty of Sonoma County. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Go enjoy the fog benefits!
