VJB Cellars, Kenwood

I went here for a wine tasting with a small group and we had the Barrel Room to ourselves. The sommelier was highly knowledgeable and friendly, making sure everyone understood what they were tasting and got to sip extra if they loved a varietal. The food was also phenomenal. Ample parking and clean restrooms.

Our favorite winery! It’s why we usually choose Sonoma over Napa when deciding where to visit. We love Italian wine, and VJB is straight out of Italy. Their Barbera is our favorite. We also love the Montepulciano. Their food is fantastic, as they make their own cheese in house and use it on their delicious brick oven pizza. They have fantastic gelato as well. Stop in for lunch and a tasting, no reservations required!

The wine tasting was wonderful and the man who served us was very nice! 😊🍷🍇

We did a number of wineries this weekend and this was by far the worst. In fact, this was the only winery and tasting we didn't enjoy on our long weekend. They messed up our reservations and then the wine tasting was so bad. We'd never seen such small serving of wine, it was like he was measuringout a single teaspoon each time. The first time or two we though he was joking but apparently not. $25 isn't bad for a tasting unless 2 of the 4 wines are not good and then the tastings are pathetically small. Our guy was nice and definitely pulled out all the stops but both because we didn't get our reserved table reservation and for the insanely tiny tasting for $25, we definitely won't be back ever.

Nice enough experience, but DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE WINE CLUB. After receiving two shipments, I decided financially I did not want to continue. Mike decided to try to strong arm me and deceitfully sent wine I did not want to “make up” for me canceling I spoke to him and said I did not want anything else, he quickly charged my card. Such poor business practice. I refused the charge and my credit card company charged them back. Stay away from there and especially their wine club.
