Trek Winery

Trek Winery hosted Mia Rose Lynne, singer-​songwriter from Novato and Nashville, singing her songs and playing guitar in the Christmas decorated Trek Winery tasting room. Her family backed her for a lovely music experience. We drank a delightful Trek Dry Creek Zinfandel as we listened. The tasting room was full, over 100 people. We have heard music and Will Durst political satirist perform in the Barrell Room in the past, definitely good to check out if in neighborhood.

I came in with my fiancée and my dog on New Years Eve. Andy welcomed us in and gave us a tour around the winery. Andy was very friendly and taught us how to saber a bottle. One of the best atmospheres for a winery I’ve been to. I definitely recommend Trek Winery and they are dog friendly too!

Andy and Liz have a Novato treasure !!! Great wines great hospitality great shows… Only thing missing is a weekly BBQ !!! Oh and Emily is a treat also. Thanks guys we love it here !!

I’ve been at least 3 times with my fiancé and it just always gives off a rather cold vibe. I WANT to like it, I REALLY do– I see that everyone else seems to like the people there and the patio IS delightful and it is walking distance from the house but not once have we felt welcome. But what do I know, I’ve only been in the service industry for over 20 years?!

A really cool hideaway in old town Novato for tasting local varietals from really nice proprietors who have built a beautiful tassting and barrel room for your enjoyment. Great venue for live music, comedy, and booking special occasion events.

To find peace and tranquility in Downtown Novato, visit Trek Winery. The place was thoughtfully designed with warm colors and natural materials, like an elegant mountain lodge. We hosted a client gathering there last weekend, and it was a lovely event, a mini get-​a-​way. We had live music in the main room, football in the barrel room, kid’s activities in the tasting room allowing our 140 guests the opportunity to kick back and enjoy the wine. Thank you Andy and Jim, we will be back.

We were here for our friends Special Celebration in December 2014. They rented the entire winery. What an event. Trek Winery did a wonderful job hosting their event. Great service and really good wine. Loved the 2010 & 2011 Zinfandel. The overall atmosphere is wonderful. From the tasting room to the concert room with the wine barrels in it. Spoke to owner– great guy and knows his stuff. Had a Marvelous evening.

Cant say enough good things about this place! Owner Andy was so nice to my family and I. I don’t live locally but when I go to visit my brother again I hope we go back here. We bought three glasses of wine and two bottles after doing their tasting. A party was being held in another room. Wish I lived closer I would totally have a party here.

Wow! Our first stop from San Diego was at Trek and we were so impressed. The wines were great and received a mini tour from Andy/​owner and sampled a 2014 cab in the press! We loved everything! Jewelry for sale for a cause (handmade by survivors of human trafficking). Bravo! We will be back!

Great band… an excellent way to end a week… And a wide space to dance… I am a founder of a couple of meet ups and if you don’t know what a meet up is Google it. We have approximately 700 members… Bay Area Singles 35+ & North Bay Socials Meet up. Indeed, the bottle of Syrah was smooth and tasty… We need to try the sauvignon blanc and cab next time… Something to look forward to. This place is a gem… luv it…

I go out of my way to buy my vinegars at Trek because the flavors they offer are UNBELIEVABLE. The Black Current white balsamic is indescribable. Makes an absolutely outstanding vinaigrette.

We had family from out of town, looking to hang out on a weekday afternoon. The host was so friendly and helpful. We spent a beautiful day on the patio, we brought our pup. The gentlemen gave her some treats and cool water for the hot day. Sampled 5 wines for $ 5, took home a great bottle for later. I was really impressed with the balsamic vinegar tastings and olive oils… Took home even more bottles of those. Great experience, we will be going back!

This is the best secret in Novato! The owners are two of the most dedicated Novato residents and can make some amazing wines. My favorite red is the Syrah and white the Sauvignon Blanc! You have to stop in and sit on the patio this summer. Or, plan a night out for comedy or live music. I am partial of course being married to a Chime Traveler. There is nothing better than a glass of wine and some 60’s and 70’s music!

Had a great event here with Marin Young Professionals Network! The wine was amazing! I bought a couple of bottles myself and we bought another to raffle off. This is a great place to have an event and the owners are down to earth and not snobby like other places I have been. Thank you Trek Winery for making our June social a great one.

This is a great place to hang and taste. It feels good. I like the Sangiovese, others liked the Cab and the Sauv Blanc. Had more of the Sangiovese at home, the next day, and it held up well.

We literally spent 2 hours here on Sunday ⁴⁄₁₃ and really enjoyed our time. It was a quiet afternoon so our host spent a lot of time with us. Answered all of our questions, gave us a great history of the winery, artwork, and was very personable.
We ended up buying just one bottle of the (No Oak) which we are looking forward to opening on a warm Marin evening in the near future. Crisp, bright, and slightly fruity.
May try to come again for music in the evenings and to take advantage of their outdoor patio.
We were told by our host that the owners named the winery because they are big hiking/​outdoor/​trekking fans. We really think Trek Winery should coordinate some guided Treks to your favorite spots. You bring the wine, we will pay for the privilege!

Nothing but good things to say about my experience the Trek winery.
We were fortunate enough to have any the owner take care of us and it was an amazing experience.
Many of the whites were out of this world and the reds were very good.
Everything about their business model impresses me; most of the building the owner had high school and college students build, they are into nature and recycling, great people and their wine follows suit.

Great winery in downtown Novato. Ample street parking makes this an easy stop.
When you arrive you have several choices. Go to the bar for tasting or if you already know what you want go get a glass and find a comfy seat inside or outside on the patio.
Lots of seating options including chairs, couch, lawn chairs. Little tables all around too. Very cozy and comfy especially in the evenings. There were people sipping wine and reading books, couples and a few larger groups when I was here. Kinda like a coffee shop.
Came here for a friday evening comedy show that was ticketed through
. The show was in a large back room that had kegs all around the walls, and a small stage up front.
The venue was perfect for this type of event. Guests could get glasses of wine or bottles at the bar and bring them in for the show. The area held enough folding chairs for 50 – 75 people. Thats a guess since I did not count. Seats were comfy though.
The comedians were local and top notch. Both have been on Leno and Letterman. Hope they have more of these events here.

Came here a year ago and was impressed with the room (huge, indoor-​outdoor, sofas, great) but not the wine. Visited today and liked many of the wines. They get grapes from others and make the wine onsite.
Tasting is $ 5 for four whites, or four reds. The Sauv Blanc from Dry Creek was my favorite white, also liked the oaked Chardonnay. The Syrah is good, and is making its way into a few restaurant wine lists. Today, 80 degree afternoon with a cool breeze, sit on the patio, drink wine, and love life.

Oh Hello Charming, I’m Thirsty…
This is a really cute wine bar. Good appetizers (be warned, they are big portions) and good wine. They have a few odd rules that I think they need to work out, ie) must be at the bar to do the tasting? They make it a little difficult to buy a bottle. etc. Granted, they had just opened when I was there, so these issues may already be resolved.
Overall, quaint place in a quaint area to grab a glass of vino.
Cheers.
