Scoggins Wines

Where do I even begin!!! The wines are out of this world !! Tons of different varieties to choose from. This place is right in the heart of Pengrove and is family owned! It’s in a historical building and the ambiance is absolutely breathtaking !
The owner is sweet, professional, accommodating and is very knowledgeable with what he does!
If your in town, this place is a MUST try!

We came by on Saturday and Sunday but the place wasn’t open either day. On the website, the owner lists his cell phone number and says to call or text for an appointment. We called and the voicemail box is full, so you can’t leave a message. Our text message went unanswered. Very bad for business!

This was a great find!!! My boyfriend and I decided to take a trip to Petaluma to visit the Lagunitas Brewery but since we had time to kill, decided to find a winery near our hotel. I saw PW Scoggins winery in the guidebook and it said it was within walking distance (about a mile) from our hotel so we decided to check it out.
The walk wasn’t too bad although part of it was alongside the highway and sidewalk disappears a bit. As we saw the sign (which was pretty small) for the winery, we were a little confused as the building behind it looked abandoned. We were going to turn around but then heard noises of people laughing so figured that’s where the party was at. As we got closer to the noise, we saw the barn with Eagle Winery (even more confused!) and a few ladies drinking but thought maybe we were interrupting but then PW came out of the barn and introduced himself. He did have a bridal shower going on so brought out a little barista table for us then sat down to hang out and ended up sharing 1.5 bottles of wine with us! Definitely a new experience to wine tasting! His wines were great! And he was very laid back, then his wife, Jessica came home and joined us as well. After hanging out awhile we decided to be on our way but his wife said there’s no way she’d want us walking carrying wine so she gave us a ride back to the hotel! Way quicker than walking!
I would definitely go back just to visit that winery! We actually ran into a few ladies who were back for the 2^nd time that weekend because they liked it so much! So glad we decided to give it a try!

5 stars for the owner and the wine. We stumbled upon this place while trying to find something to do on a Sunday afternoon. The place was run by the owner alone on a very busy day and his neighbors dropped by to help. Unpretentious environment, friendly people, and good reds… What more can I ask for?

PW is awesome — dude and the winery. Very friendly, generous and everything a wine host should be. Located in a barn setting with fabulous artwork. This would be the perfect event setting! Visit — totally worth it!

Wooohoo! Scoggins is awesome! It’s super cute. Its located in a barn with some art décor, a piano and some cool lighting. They just need better signage. :P I stumbled into the winery next door (it’s okay shes really cool too) on accident because I didn’t realize that you had to go down the stairs into the barn to get into where the wine/​wine tasting is.
My boyfriend and I got there on a Sunday evening around 4:30pm. When we got there, someone was just leaving. PW, the owner, greeted us warmly and we started chatting. Since he said he sold out of all his wine (wow!), he had none to offer us to buy. Nonetheless, he shared his tasting wine with us and he and his wife allowed his to hang out for a good while just hanging out and drinking wine.
And his wine is great. Its smooth and not dry. I’m not usually a huge fan of red, but his wine goes down very easily. So yummy. And they’re super dog friendly! I’m bringing my pooch next time! I’ll be back. PW and his wife are super lovely to chat too and they love to just hang out and have a good conversation over wine!

Ok this place doesn’t have good signage just yet and I was confused for a few minutes as their «tasting room» sign leads you to what looks like a storage area. To help you, their tasting room is through the front door, down the stairs to the left.
Now, this place is amazing due to the owner. The wine is great as well but it was secondary to the amazing service and conversations with the owner.
First the wine. The 2 I remember the best were the zin and pinot. The zins are lighter than what you’d expect and the pinots are heavier and more in-​your-​face than you’d expect. If you like super peppery zins, it might not be your thing but I liked it personally. The pinots are heavier which I also liked as it didn’t seem watery or weak which can be a problem with some pinots.
Second, the real reason this place is 5 stars is the owner PW. He is the nicest, most down to earth wine maker I’ve met in a long time. It was great to hear his story and also at the same time have a great conversation. My wine buddy and I had a real discussion with him and it was cool that he was interested in our stories as well. Most wineries I feel only talk about themselves, so it was cool to see that PW is also curious about his customers and it was a real 2 way conversation.

This place is awesome and so is PW’s story, currently unfolding. Hearing about a new winemaker just starting out on his own after working for others was really interesting and inspiring. We had a great tasting experience and enjoyed the wines. Really cool setting also — an old diary that is the actual production place he clears out on weekends for tastings. Highly recommended.

This place is exactly what a winery needs to be. Forget about all the commercialized napa wineries and come check out PW Scoggins. I found this place on accident after searching for how to get to the Sonoma State campus. When we arrived I wasn’t sure if it was the right place but the owner greeted us in the driveway with another couple and took us to the tasting room. Eventually we were the couple there which made the experience pretty amazing, PW took us to the barrel room where we sampled wines straight from the barrel. All of the wines that we tried were really good in fact after almost two hours of tasting and great conversation we bought two bottles. The winery is in a old historical building that adds to the ambiance of the whole experience. We are looking forward to coming back here soon! Thanks for a great time PW!

came here on the recommendation of a friend and i have to say it was the perfect ending to a long day. Relaxed energy, good wine, and easy conversation. We left with a couple of bottles, but will definitely be back for more

so we just had this incredible experience at scoggins wines and i hope i capture our pleasure in this review. we arrived, like you do to most vineyards that you don’t know by name, with no expeditions. the moment we met pw, winemaker and owner, we knew we were in good hands. he welcomed us into his tasting room and art gallery and showered us with a number of interestingly, fruitful wines. we took a tour of the operation and picked grapes from the vine. robert, a friend and pretty impressive designer, works on site and told us a bit about his work. the whole thing was mind boggling. we landed ourselves in a gold mine of creativity and we never expected it. there are handfuls of places with good wine out there but this one has something special.

Open space, humble energy and good wine. Take the chance to find PW and his hospitable demeanor as he guides you through his wine. His first harvest at this space and well worth the trek.

We loved the three varieties of wine available at the time of our visit. The Pinot was light and fruity with just a little sweetness. My husband favored the young Zinfandel, the boldest wine we tasted, while I enjoyed the more developed Zin.
The owner is fabulous. We visited on a Thursday, and he was working on what I guess will soon become his tasting room. A friend assured us that we had to try the wine, so seeing that the doors were open, we poked our heads in and asked whether anyone was home. P.W. welcomed us in, introduced himself, engaged in light banter about the realities of opening a winery alone, and began offering us wine. He is charming and obviously enjoys his job, which adds the experience.
I can’t wait to return on my next visit to the area.

In a county chock full of wine tasting options, Scoggins Wines is a hidden gem that does not disappoint.
Owner and winemaker, P.W., is basically a one-​man-​show. I say ‘basically’ because he does have some help from his winery dogs (Sir Reginald & Monster) who greet guests when they arrive.
I had the pleasure of tasting his Pinot, Zin and Cab and after a few hours of one-​on-​one time with this super down-​to-​earth guy, I took a few bottles home to enjoy with family and friends.
If you are looking for a spot to relax, have a picnic and engage in some good conversation, this is the place!

First stop slightly off the beaten path. Greeted by P W and peer winemaker Chris. Über wine tasting experience in real family wine-​making setting. Piano adorned barn setting — super glad we stopped. Ended with purchase of our fave cab and Pinot case.

Wine tasting used to be a relaxed affair, talking with the winemaker while he poured you some fruits of his labor over a barrelhead. Nowadays, wineries are all about their corporate branding, indifferent tasting room staff and just getting you to join their wine club. Scoggins Wines is truly vintage tasting, going back to the era of the engaged, friendly winemaker who truly cares about his art, and a tasting room where you can focus on the actual wine and not be distracted by the same stupid tourist-​bait doo-​dads seen in every other tasting room.
Delicious, hand-​crafted wine and people (and dogs) who are really invested in what they do. We’ll definitely be back!

It was so incredible to be greeted by PW and his soon-​to-​be wife Jessica, the winemakers, drink great wine and feel like a part of the community. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this winery to anyone looking for a great time in wine country. To boot the wine is great. Go here!

Had a great time! Such a cool place to take a group. I have been there a couple times now and it gets better every time. The venue that over looks the vineyard and the petaluma gap vineyards entertained us plenty, enough so to get another awesome bottle of Pinot. The wines PW makes are great, tasting through his Zins and PN were awesome. Walked away with a half case. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I’ve been to P.W. Scoggins Winery twice now. What a great experience to see a established wine maker live out a dream of owning his own winery. I know it’s the dream because the wine tasting and tour is unique and personal. You get to hear the story of how PW got to his current state at the old Eagle Ridge Winery. It’s a great opportunity to see a winery built from the ground up with great wine. We took a case of Pinot and Zinfandel with us to go. Great wines and a great story a must see. Monster the dog kept our kids busy while we enjoyed the tastes and views.

My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting Scoggins Wines earlier this week. PW, the winemaker/​owner, and Monster, the equally enthusiastic winery dog created an amazing experience for us with his wonderful wine and hospitality.
The experience that we had was truly unique. If you want to support a local business that is passionate about the industry, this is the place! PW offered amazing zinfandels and beautiful pinots, in addition to local cheeses thoughtfully paired together. Make sure to try the bootstrap zin, this man is an artist with a grape.
The location is an awesome old historic landmark. It was one of the first commercial dairies in Sonoma County. The place has so much character to it, that its equally enjoyable to sip inside or outside on the deck overlooking the beautiful countryside.
My wife and I have worked in the industry for a number of years in both Sonoma and Napa, and Scoggins Wines is a refreshing rarity that is well worth the trip. It’s not often you get a personalized tasting with the winemaker, one as talented as he is awesome.
