B Wise Vineyards

Such a fun time at the tasting room. Great, educational experience with wonderful wines. Highly recommend

We had a phenomenal experience at B Wise. Bianca was the perfect host, the vineyards were beautiful, the cave unique and worthy of the tour all by itself. And then the wines — excellent! Awesome wines at a great price point. We became members that day. Since then I have so enjoyed drinking the Cab Sav Moon Mtn district that I ordered 2 more cases. B Wise is GOOOD wine. You should not go to this area of the country without visiting B Wise — seriously!

Came on a recommendation and glad we did. Unique, top quality cabs are the specialty here.

Their wines are great overall but I feel lack a bit of character –kinda like getting the right answer on a hard algebra problem but not showing the work. Does it matter? My dude doesn’t seem to mind.
The folks are nice and the bathroom is lovely. I’ve actually met some pretty cool people just waiting to use the bathroom. So, definitely hit this place up if you’re into meeting people while wine tasting.
I usually wait outside after being inside for a minutes as the music and guests tend to overwhelm me (there always seems to be large groups when I visit). It’s a small little place that never quite feels cramped but it’s like I get sensory overload when the music is busy, people are partying, and I’m trying not to wonder about the cool cow rug while pinpointing what I like or don’t like about the wine in my mouth. I’m a weird, I accept that.
My dude likes the wines so I’m happy to come back, even if only to sip a bit, meet someone cool while waiting for the bathroom, and take a nice stroll outside.
Careful with the teeny parking lot.

Fantastic day. Ann was great to us and we had a fun time with her today. This will be a stop on our next trip. Great wine, tasting room and staff.

Great wine in a really nice setting. Ann is a real treasure, so accommodating without being asked. I highly recommend stopping by.

This was our second visit to B Wise in the town of Kenwood. We first learned of the Brion and B Wise wines from John F’n Caldwell. We like the style of the wine and think it is some of the best found in Sonoma. The tasting lounge is found in Kenwood on the Sonoma Highway. It is a funky little storefront with a bar, tables, chairs and a couch that resembles something from the Ponderosa. Our host was Sunshine. She treated us to 8 – 9 different wines, cheeses, crackers, nuts and cold water. We enjoyed every wine we tried. The B Wise label was tasty and the Brion very elegant. The wines are priced right based on quality. The winemaker was formerly at Silver Oak and knows his craft. They have wine caves at the winery but we have yet to visit there. Outstanding wine, comfortable environment and friendly staff, this sums up our visit to B Wise in Sonoma.

So amazing to find a truly unique, personalized and laid back tasting experience at the B Wise winery. My amazing boyfriend found this so it ahead of time and made reservations and I am so glad that he did!
Driving into Sonoma for the long weekend we were running about an hour late and when we called into let the know they were totally understanding and accommodating. Once we got there Collin promptly took us on a tour of the property and into the wines for the tasting. The tastings themselves cost $ 45 but it was worth so much more than that… you get to try amazing wines and you have his undivided attention for almost two hours! Not only is he very knowledgable about wines but he is a genuinely nice fellow, patient with our newb wine questions and all in all, someone you would want to hang out with for two hours!
Definitely worth a visit! Unfortunately we chose not to join the wine club but once we upgrade to that point in our lives this is one I would consider joining. Fantastic wines, beautiful property, great time!

We were fortunate to have 6 of us go to this winery this past Wednesday.
Our host was Collin he was AWESOM!
And that was only the start.
If you like GREAT red wines and some surprising Pinot THIS is the place to go …
As you progress though to the Cabs it only gets better.
Now take great wines add a really cool cave environment and nothing but success !!
I can tell you our group knows our wines ALL of us collectors and these wines are worth every penny.
They only take appointments so call ahead.
Be ready for a great experience .
And yes we ordered cases!
Thank you B Wise for a great experience and showing us what SONOMA has to offer.
A true hidden gem !

Went here yesterday for a wine tasting with a group of friends, and had a wonderful experience.
Colin, our host, was both knowledgeable and personable. The tasting room was in the cave, and was beautifully appointed. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the wines, both the cabs, and a couple of Pinots, that were a revelation.
The grounds are nice with lots of shady oaks and picnic tables, which made for a lovely spot for a catered picnic lunch.
Definitely a Sonoma highlight!

We stopped in this winery simply because of the name and had a great time. We were able to walk in without a reservation and experience the wines at a great price compared to other wineries in the area. The staff was friendly and the wines were fantastic. We had trouble deciding which wine we wanted to take home (limited by suitcase space). We opted with the Cab and were very happy with our time at B Wise.

A group of 6 visited B Wise at the beginning of May. The grounds and views are lovely, the cave tour was great, and our tasting was really good. We purchased a case of wine to be shipped home, and joined the Wise Guys wine club.
Well…we returned home from our visit but no wine arrived. I called the winery after three weeks to find out if there was a problem with the order, and was told order processing was behind. I gave my phone number to the lady who answered the phone and she told me she’d call back later that day. No phone call that day, or any other day.
Now I’m wondering if our order form with our credit card information is floating around Kenwood…

We came to B Wise’s tasting room on happenstance. We had a free tasting coupon from our host and it was right down the road from another tasting.
It was a great experience. We had the entire tasting room to ourselves. Our server (who I cannot remember his name (Brian?) but reminds me of Aaron Paul in Breaking Bad) was fantastic. He really made our experience exceptional. We learned a lot about the winery and the different wines. B Wise is a really small production winery with about 20 acres on the top of the mountain. It was a relaxed environment and he was never too pushy or sales-​y with the wine club (which is a big turn off). He just let the wine speak for itself which boy it did.
Because of that and the quality, the wines are definitely pricier than some of the others. However, they are wonderful and you can’t get them commercially. All of the wines that we tasted were fantastic. The reds are very full bodied which is right up our alley. However, the Cabernet was spectacular and one of favorite cabernets that we have tasted during our wine country trip. This is actually one place I would consider getting a wine membership.

If you are in the area, do NOT miss this amazing 100 acre property! As soon as you enter the first gate it’s like entering into a blissful, wine sanctuary. This was my first trip to Sonoma so I wasn’t really sure what to expect but this place set the bar extremely high.
We arrived via the Platypus tour we were on and it way by far the BEST stop on the tour; I didn’t want to leave. We had a private tasting set in their cave and it was glorious. It’s huge and grand and when you walk in you are overwhelmed in such an awesome way. I am not sure the pictures do this place justice.
There are couches, leather seats, some bed alcoves, a kitchen area, gorgeous bathroom and a long dining table. This was a man-​made cave and there are gorgeous areas where real rock is exposed on the wall, really a gorgeous structure. Ann was our guide and she was lovely. She really brought out the personality behind the wines and vineyard. I asked if I could move in and join the family but they just kind of starred at me so I don’t think I should truck the dogs out this way just yet.
B Wise and their neighbors at Monte Rosso Vineyard are reportedly two of the only sites in Sonoma Valley truly suitable for growing and ripening exceptional Cabernet and red Bordeaux varieties. They are known for their small batches as well so their prices are higher but for good reason.
Brion Wise is the founder and he lives on the stunning property. Everything is self sufficient and he grows his own veggies and fruit and even has his own bees to make honey along with chickens. Really, they have everything. His house is gorgeous and overlooking the vineyard. The front area is lush and inviting, we took over a picnic table for lunch and I could have just laid in the grass to take in the surroundings all day. The flowers around the area are gorgeous as well, it really is an oasis.
The wines, wow! I am not a wine connoisseur by any means and I usually go for white over red but the reds here, just delicious. Everything was opened freshly that day and we has some light snacks to pair with them. I purchased some bottles and I believe my favorites were B WISE Syrah Sonoma Valley Estate 2009 and the B WISE Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Valley Estate 2009. The colors are brilliant and the flavors changed with each piece of food you paired it with or how long you let it air, of course.
Overall this was my absolute favorite cave and private tasting. I can’t wait to go back. I love people who turn their passion into something I can share and for that, I thank you Bryon.
