Little Vineyards Family Winery

Absolutely loved the experience. A small winery but I loved the quiet and the beautiful venue. Got a glass of wine and sat on their tables overlooking the gorgeous vineyards.

Most of the Bay Area has moved to full serve tasting … but this was perfect as you could get what you wanted and pace yourself. I already made plans to come back with friends.

Little Vineyards Family Winery
*A poem - 3/5/23

The sun comes and goes.
Clouds.
A sprinkle of rain.
Red wine.

The birds chirp their recommendations.
I don’t understand, but hope that I made the best selections.

Honey, the family dog, roams the vineyard, checking the soil.
She report her findings back to the family.
The vineyard would collapse without her work.

The humans carry the experience to the finish line;
Their opposable thumbs mock Honey and the birds.

Yellow flowers dance in the wind.
The vineyard is alive.
The wine is beautiful.
Life is good.

Where do I even begin!? Little Vineyards is incredible and a must visit on your trip to Sonoma! Carol was a fantastic host, and was very knowledgable about the vineyards/harvest, the family and of course, the wine. All of the wine on the tasting menu was wonderful! Definitely our favorite tasting of the weekend. We tried the Syrah-Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Center Stage and the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon and spent about 2 hours enjoy the scenery. We can’t wait to come back and hopefully spend our time at the cabin on Little Vineyard’s property. Thank you for an amazing time!

Absolutely a must stop for any Sonoma wine trip. Good wine, laid back, and absolutely awesome views!!! Will definitely return on my next trip and highly recommend!!!🍷🍷🍷

Love it. Great wine, great vibe.

Wonderful experience! Excellent wines! My favorite stop of the weekend!

Little Vineyards was amazing. More casual and welcoming than most wineries and also more accessible from San Francisco than most. Karen helped us and was absolutely delightful. We will be back!

We have been visiting Sonoma and Napa for over 40 years and this is our perfect type of wine experience. They are dog-friendly and they let you bring your own picnic (rare these days). We reserved the picnic table ahead of time on their website and purchased a delicious bottle of Syrah- Zinfandel. Our hostess Carol was wonderful and so great to talk to.  The setting is spectacular.   We can't wait to return.

Family winery with a welcoming place to taste honest wines

Beautiful vineyard with fine wines a very nice quiet place to spend a relaxing time

I really cannot say enough great things about our time at this wonderful "Little Vineyard(s)"! We were the first guests of the day and were treated so well by Donna. She was informative about the history of the winery, along with knowing the wines very well. She engaged in conversation with us and was so, so lovely. Many more guests arrived after we did, yet Donna kept being equally attentive to us and the other guests. The wines were absolutely fantastic - highlights being the '16 Zinfandel, '13 Syrah, and both red and white Band Blends (such a cool story behind these!). The setting is gorgeous - I could have stayed here all day! I simply cannot wait to come back to Sonoma, specifically for this great winery. Raising a glass to you, Little Vineyards Family Winery!

Great small family winery. Excellent location just outside of Sonoma. The winery was beautiful and the wines were fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Low key perhaps the best reds and most definitely in the conversation for best value in Sonoma. Great, chill atmosphere and helpful staff.

Great, knowledgeable staff. Wish I could remember the name of the gentleman that took care of us (He had a beard). He was great and the wine was even better. Laid back atmosphere and had great music playing. We did a number of wineries in 6 days and this was actually my favorite. Side note my wife loved it as well because of his dog.

What a personal experience we had from the owner pouring us our tasting! Very welcoming great wines and we love that they are dog and kid friendly. Our experience yesterday in the middle of this covid pandemic really made us feel relaxed. Our membership will last a life time!!!!

The Little Family offers up this gem on Hwy 12 just West of the town of Sonoma. Donna along with the other staff are beyond friendly and knowledgeable about these small production vintages. Fun accompanied by great wine and views surrounded by vineyard. You even get greeted by the 3 Amigos aka labs...Sunny, Roma and Lola...happy puppies for certain! Bring a picnic basket and relax...life is good!

Great "Little" vineyard for anyone who's a fan of big reds. I particularly liked the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Petite Sirah but all the others certainly held their own. The friendly staff in the tasting room also didn't mind pointing us towards some other great vineyards in the area and having heeded their recommendations, I enjoyed some great wines. I don't live too far away so I'll definitely be heading back here the next time I get a chance.

AWESOME winery. Great wine, at a good price. Amazing grounds and super nice people/experience. If you want to get away from the massive, corporate, wineries around the area and experience a true "family owned" winery go to Little.

Wine, ambiance, and service the California way! Dog friendly and an amazing experience, if you haven't yet, do check this place out!

Cool little dirt road to the winery too!

I am a big fan of little wines. They have some great wines that are reasonably priced. They have a great outdoor space and are very dog friendly. I recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a great place to taste.
