Point Reyes Vineyard Inn & Winery

This was literally the best wine I could fund in wine country. The merlot 2005 and the Chardonnay are incredible! It’s just a cute little family run place that you could go right past on your way to the oyster roasters but definitely stop. They’ve also got a blue cheese that is delicious and perfect with the merlot! My boyfriend and I laughed because we spent a whole weekend in Sonoma then on a whim popped in here and found a total gem. On my way back today!

Rude people. Been here a couple times. Pass on this place. I wont be back. Look at the other Unilocal reviews. This place is awful, do not ruin your day by stopping by.

I have waited a week to write this review in the hopes that I would get over what happened and move on. I am not a vindictive person and do not generally vent on Unilocal.
…Nope, still angry about this. This business deserves a negative review.
My wife and I and our two kids were visiting Pt Reyes last weekend for my best friend’s wedding and had booked a room here. We got in late Friday night, as our kids were getting sleepy and ready for bed, and the innkeeper turned us away.
He asked if we had young children, I told him yes, and he told us to find somewhere else to stay.
this was at 9pm on a busy weekend in Pt Reyes. We had reserved the room in advance, a room for 4 people, and no one had the courtesy to check in with us prior to see if perhaps we were a family (seems pretty obvious that 4 people reserving a room are a family). I am not sure if it is against the law to discriminate against families, but I do believe it is morally repugnant to turn away a family that has booked a room at your inn, at 9pm the night they are supposed to sleep there.
We got a room across the bay at a crappy hotel and the kids didn’t sleep at all because we didn’t get checked in until 11pm. The next night we had to go stay in Marin because Pt Reyes was totally booked.
This innkeeper ruined our weekend and actually changed the way I feel about Point Reyes. It is such a beautiful place and has been so meaningful for me, but if I can’t bring my kids up, what is the point? And if people there think it’s okay to turn away a family at night because they are afraid of kids being kids?
I hope you are reading this, shame on you. Your business does not deserve my wonderful family’s patronage, and I hope this review turns others away from you.

Stopped here just for fun after spending the day in Bodega Bay, and driving home along SR1. Tried the sparkling wine, which lost its sparkle after about a minute; the chardonnay, which curled my tongue; and a pinot noir that was terribly unbalanced. The place needs serious TLC everywhere you look, and the wines reflect that.

A good concept & a good story, but unfortunately the wine doesn’t stand up to others. We were recommended to go here from Cowgirl Creamery but I wasn’t that impressed.
$ 5 tasting fee does get you 5 – 6 wines to sample. The ladies behind the counter are friends w/​the owners & (I think) do this to help them out. She didn’t seem too into it & when we asked questions she only knew about ½ the answers but had been working there 10 years! The Merlot & Cab were ok, the others fell short in my opinion.
B&B on the property for anyone looking for a fuller experience but the winery isn’t near anything else so driving is a must.

I don’t think I’d revisit this place. Not only did the wine not taste good (how could it? The grapes come from Terra Linda,) it gave me a tummy ache.
*Note to girls: Just because there’s a sign that says «Winery» doesn’t mean you have to stop.

We were out exploring the ocast one weekend when we came upon this winery. Feeling adventurous after our cheese tasting we decided to stop in. They offered light body Italian style wines. I wasn’t impressed with too many of their reds, but I did walk away with a bottle of Zin, champagne and dessert wine.
The service was great and the setting was quaint. We tasted all 3 champagnes plus 5 wines from the list. We did 2 tastings, so samples a good chunk of the list. This stop really added to our day and shouldn’t be missed when you are venturing to the coast.
Tasting Fee: $ 3 waived with purchase
Favorite Wine: Late Harvest Viognier

We saw this along Highway #1 as we were fetching our oysters and decided to stop in. Caveat: I’m only Unilocaling the winery and not the Inn (yes, there’s also an Inn there, although they are currently remodeling).
Anyway, here’s the deal: It costs $ 3.00/person to taste 5 different wines from their list of about 15 wines. If you buy something, then that tasting fee is waived. We tried one champaigne, one chardonnay, two reds, and one dessert wine. The environment is so-​so, the wines are also so-​so. Wines are relatively inexpensive (most are in the $ 20 range). I’m not a wine expert, but I’ve definitely had my fair share to know when the flavors are rich and complex. The dessert wine (white), however, was delicious. We bought 2 bottles. Overall, the experience was okay (wasn’t blown away), and it’s nice to support local businessowners.
P. S. The restrooms here are extra clean (particularly when compared to the porta potties at the oyster farms!).
