Siduri Wines & Novy Family Winery

Yes, it is located in a industrial park but the service and wine was impeccable. We were greeted courteously. The wine tastings are free. The description of each wine was detailed and constructive. We were educated about our liking preference for wines after we have feedback of each tasting. Make an appointment and put this one on your list if you’re all about the tastings and not the tour. We were even provided recommendations and complimentary tasting cards for other Vineyards. We’ll be back.

My wife and I were on our last day of our wine country vacation and decided to check out this winery that was near our hotel. We walked in the door and expected the usual «Welcome to our winery!» salutation and great hospitality we had been receiving the past few days but instead the guy behind the tasting counter said, «Is there something I can help with?» like we were traveling salesmen that had just knocked on his door and interrupted his dinner. I told him we would like to do a tasting for two and he proceeded to tell me they stop doing tastings at 4pm. I glanced at my phone and I said, «Well good thing it’s 3:55!». The other couple at the tasting counter laughed and were pulling out stools for us to sit down and join them, when the rude host said, «Well its our policy to stop pouring at 4pm, but I guess I could give you a splash of something.» I told him to not bother and we left.
Kind of a bummer to end our vacation with a rude server. The other funny thing is the sign on the door states open until 4:30pm. But hey we spent too much money on wine while our vacation so I guess Siduri saved me from buying any from them.

Came here for their Winter Wineland event yesterday and wow, what a spread! They had 26 wines with 15+ Pinot Noirs. I kid you not, look no further if you love the Pinot Noir varietal. I bought a whole case with me and joined their Wine Club and I still don’t have buyer’s remorse.
A must try for the Pinot Noir lover!

Like others have stated the tastings are done in an industrial setting so I’ll try not to be repetitive about the location.
If you love Pinot Noirs like I do than this is an awesome place. Wines are greatly reduced if you Join their club and I decided that it’s definitely worth it,
So far very happy with their wines and selection.

I’ve been here a few times and enjoyed myself and the wine every time. It’s appointment only and located in a warehouse type space in an office park, so not the best to wander into or take out of town guests looking for wine country scenery. However they’re super nice and they a delicious range of Pinots with grapes from lots of different regions. Great way to learn about how much variety is out there.

Went to a really cool vertical wine tasting at Siduri winery. Not only was the vintner pouring wine and talking to the public but he was making wine when we were there. The wines are great. The location is convenient. Solidly priced.

An unpretentious winery with exceptional attention to details. This is not your standard winery however don’t be put off by the warehouse kind of atmosphere since the Pinots and their service will definitely blow you away. We had a big group came through and Duncan our wine host was beyond accommodating and knowledgable. Our whole group was impressed with how wonderfully the tasting was orchestrated and how great they catered to us. Best experience was barrel tasting. Thank you Suduri… you made it fun, wild and sexy!!!

I was very impressed by this winery. Just came from Paradise Point where the views are killer but the wines are not. Siduri is quite the opposite — in a warehouse in an industrial park but I’ll take that over a view any day while wine tasting. I’m there to taste and purchase wine that I like, and wow, they did deliver. Ended up walking out with 6 or 7 bottles.
If you’re a Pinot noir lover, this is a must-​stop. They have over 20 different pinots on their label from different appellations across CA and OR (we tasted about 5). and while prices between $ 30 – 50 which I find to be very reasonable for an excellent Pinot. They also have other varietals too — we got to taste a couple zins straight from the barrel.
Appointment only! We didn’t know that and walked in thinking we are out of luck. But fortunately they accommodated us. Our pourer (sad I didn’t catch his name) was so enthusiastic and informative. Anytime I’m in the Santa Rosa/​Sonoma area, I am for sure calling ahead.

I highly recommend a stop at this family-​owned winery in Santa Rosa. Don’t be put off by the fact it’s located in a warehouse in an industrial park. We were able to taste at least 13 different wines at no charge. They were poured by a knowledgeable and very enthusiastic wine lover who answered all our questions and never made us feel rushed. We ended up buying several of their excellent wines to take home & enjoy. Tastings are by appointment only.

Every year for barrel tasting we start here. Why? Because this place specializes in Pinot noir. It’s not just all Pinot. They do have some syrahs and Chardonnays. However, during barrel tasting they have over 20 different varieties of Pinots on hand to sample from. While the atmosphere is a warehouse. Inside it is very friendly and the winemakers are eager to talk with you. During barrel tasting they have amazing snacks out for patrons (despite the official barrel tasting guidelines that there will be no food). Absolutely amazing. Amazing staff. I can’t say enough about this place so I will stop with two words, five stars.

Healdsburg area has a lot to offer, and this was a great experience. None of the crowds or other ludicrousness of Napa. Free tasting, healthy pours and I think we had at least 12 different quality wines.
Lots of information shared by our wine consultant! Very much enjoyed our time here.
(p.s. super close to Bottle Barn, a liquor store worth a drop in if you have room in your cellar, bar, closet, suitcase, etc.)

Both the Siduri and Novy labels are fine wines created by Adam Lee and staff, and the people are all most informative and really nice. All wine drinkers owe it to themselves to come by and try some.
If the Novy Rosella’s Vineyard Chardonnay is available, grab a bunch! Extremely fruit-​forward but tremendously unctuous wine at a great price!
As far as I know, one must call ahead for an appointment.

On our way out of Santa Rosa after our wine weekend, we found Siduri wines on Unilocal and decided to drop in Sunday morning since it was near our hotel. We had no idea that it was by appointment only, but they were very nice and set us up for a tasting anyway. The winery is in a warehouse, which some people may mind, but I didn’t really care. The tasting was very personal, which was great since a lot of places in Sonoma tend to be pretty crowded. Abigail lead us through the different wines and it was great to just try them out and have an actual conversation. It was very relaxed, and they really had some tasty wines (pinots and syrahs with a few other wines sprinkled in). We ended up grabbing 6 or 7 bottles of the ones we really enjoyed. It was a whole lot of fun and one of the highlights of our trip. As other people mentioned, the tasting itself is free.
Highly, highly recommend stopping by but just be more courteous than us and actually call ahead to make an appointment: p. One other piece of advice is to pace yourself and don’t be afraid to dump some of the wine, since you’ll be tasting over 10(!!!) different wines.

Siduri Wines is located more in an industrial area, within a warehouse. The tasting was free and was more than enough. Lots of Pinot Noirs. I think there was 10 or 11 pours of different wines. The tasting was scheduled and was quite small. On a Saturday, it was just me and my bf and another gentleman, so we could have asked as many questions as we wanted which was nice. The lady who conducted the tasting seemed to really enjoy the wines and her job. She also took us around the warehouse, showing us their different equipment and how their wines were made. With the amount of wineries in the area, I would have preferred to spend my time elsewhere. I don’t think I was a big fan of their wines, but it was a good oppportunity to do their tasting and get to know Siduri Wines more.

I went by last Saturday for an open house, so no appointment was necessary.
They were pouring 5 Siduri pinots and 3 Novy syrahs. There were some whites too…
The new pouring room is in the warehouse. The people were friendly and they provided some cheese which really helped balance out the syrahs. They said the 2012 pinot harvest was very high volume, so the prices are likely to be good (for us). Though it had only been in the bottle for a few weeks, the 2012 showed the fruit and low earthiness I love in Russian River pinots.
They were offering a 25% discount, so I took home 4 bottles of pinot. The Russian River pinots were only $ 22.50 each.

Huge variety. Really good late harvest. Really good barrel tasting. Nice people. You go for the wine, not the ambiance. Jeff is a kind person and I look forward to working with him!

A great little winery with an inspirational story about the winemakers. They make a huge selection of wines, literally dozens (maybe 50ish?) of wines. They rotate which wines they taste, but I think we still tasted quite a few (about 6 or 7). All of the wines were really solid and reasonably priced. It was just a little overwhelming. I’d like to see them focus in on their best wines and invest the extra TLC there. Sometimes, less is more. But this is a minor complaint considering the wines were good and affordable, and the tasting room experience was fun.
The Keefer Ranch pinot was a particular favorite for me. I think we also purchased their viognier, which is a varietal I don’t usually enjoy. This one had some tart flavor along with the sweetness that made it a bit more interesting. We had it with Thai food, a combination I highly recommend.

Vsited here during the Barrel Tasting 2010. This place looked nothing like the traditional vineyard; it’s located in midst of industrial buildings.
Once inside the warehouse, we were really impressed by the amount of different wines they were offering. 20 of them! They also had 4 kinds straight out of the barrel.
I really liked 2008 Novy Russian River Valley Viognier, which was crispy and delightful. 2008 Novy Blanc de Pinot Noir was interesting one since it’s a Pinot Noir but white! Lastly, the pinnacle of the wines here is 2008 Siduri Garys’ Vineyard Pinot Noir which was amazingly nice and smooth Pinot Noir I ever tasted.

SUPER great wines. Really freaking great!
This winery will catch you by surprise. I was wondering why my friends were taking me down a road called Airport Way. Usually those are the kinds of places where you end up to drop off a briefcase of cash after an illicit deal. This place is seriously Legit though! The wines are sent from God him/​herself. Amazing, boutique, perfectly blended wines that I enjoyed immensely. I wish I could remember the name of the cool blonde gal who was our wine tasting buddy. She was fantastic and we enjoyed 10 wines with no tasting fee. Of course I ended up buying a case, which is mercifully arriving tomorrow via UPS here in NYC. There is no vineyard to be seen, but these wines are worth the drive into the gangsta warehouse district. (which btw is very safe!)

The premier review by Elliot B. Says it all about this winery.
It’s a warehouse in an industrial park.
The Siduri wines are Pinot Noirs with grapes grown everywhere on the west coast. During our visit in August 2008 there was a list of 24 different Pinot noir bottles for sale.
The Novy wines are all other varietals. I like the syrah.
The quality is good. The prices are on the high side. Bambi bought 3 bottles, paid $ 109 for the privilege.
After you have visited all the pretty vineyard wine tasting shops throughout California and you end up in this humble factory location because you’re seeking that elusive wine nirvana — You’ve finally become a certified WINO.
BTW, Adler Fels winery is in the same building around the side. Not sure if Adler Fels offers tasting by appointment. If they do, the chardonnay is decent.
