Nestled between an art gallery and a kitchen store just a few steps away from bustling Sonoma Square, is a tasting room surrounded by a quaint firelit patio flickering with the ambience of the town’s enthusiasm for wine. 

Vintages reflecting handpicked varietals from the best appellations in the county line the shelves of Lake Sonoma Winery’s tasting room which opened in 2012 .

The tasting room offers the opportunity to discover AVA specific varietals and learn the unique characteristics that each terroir imparts from Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to Russian River Chardonnay to Malbec here in the Sonoma Valley. Wines can also be taken onto the patio and enjoyed in the Californian sunshine year-round, an idyllic spot for a cozy catchup.

With an award-winning portfolio also including Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Barbera and Zinfandel it is no secret that Lake Sonoma’s wines express the truest reflections of the region, the secret however is that these wines can be enjoyed in the heart of Sonoma if you take the moment to look beyond the square.
