Karin BeilSeptember 11, 2013This was one of the best winery tours we took this week. Benzigers uses biodynamic methods to grow grapes and produce wine, which is very fascinating. We ate a catered lunch in one of the wine caves!
This place is amazing. It is by far and away my favorite experience in Napa/Sonoma. Take the partners tour and join the Partners club. You won't regret it.
Jen AJanuary 22, 2013Hiked with some Benziger family members at nearby Jack London Park then tasted here, 50% of proceeds went back! Met Kathy Benziger, down to earth, staff was fun and gave us Imagery tasting passes.
Rachel KSeptember 18, 2016The tram tour with the private tasting is worth it for the personal experience. I don't think I'd like just tasting in the very crowded tasting room.
Dracaena WinesNovember 10, 2015This winery has an exceptional tour. If you want to learn about wines and how they get from vine to bottle stop here.
Greg SchulzSeptember 14, 2013The staff here is terrific. They're very helpful and friendly. The wine is great and the atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for. Super laid back! Good pizza too!
Patricia Leite HuamaniApril 12, 2013You can take a tour through the vineyards to learn their sustainable manufacturing process and to see their cave. Good wines, but the tasting is too crowded, even during weekdays.
Dmitriy ShushkinNovember 17, 2013Super! Take a tour in tram. It's really interesting! Pat is a very good speaker.
Sally CedarJune 22, 2013If you are new to wineries, go here first and take the tour to have a better appreciation of how wine is made. Cave is cool too.
Thomas RizziSeptember 18, 2013Quality wine wich is very good. Really love the idea of organic oldfashioned wine
- TalyaSeptember 25, 2019Tour was very informative but long. Loved the wine tastings integrated with the tour.
- Corrie Francis ParksAugust 8, 2018Tram tour was great! Highly recommend. Love their philosophy of biodynamic farming.
Chris TJuly 31, 2015Great tour and wine making philosophy! Good place for a picnic with the kids too.
Lukas HasikOctober 2, 2011Lovely place, the tram trip was amazing. Then the neverending tasting of the great wines. Much better and warmer atmosfere than at Sebastiani
Douglas GrayApril 16, 2015Great place for a corporate junket. The wine cave can seat a small army for dinner.
Diane RJune 23, 2013Fantastic tour, great for families! Pack your picnic lunch, they have an amazing spot for lunch.
Morgan PolotanSeptember 11, 2015Take the trolley tour to learn about their biodynamic farming practices.
LisaFebruary 15, 2015Was here towards closing time. Very nice winery. Next time I would do a tram tour!

Johnny TsaiFebruary 15, 2012Tour is legit, wines are so subtly diff and amazing, try the signaterra chard.
Jo LamoureuxJune 9, 2013We had Dr. Bob give us our tasting, highly recommend him, he knows his wine!
Jeffrey GlueckMarch 24, 2014Skip the tour, boring and definitely not with kids, walk the free path with info on biodynamic farming , fascinating
Rajiv DewanApril 6, 2010This is a real nice winery. Great tour. Learnt all about biodynamics. Very interesting, indeed. The wine cave is pretty cool.
Jonathan HsiehAugust 31, 2009take the tour to see where the wine is made in an Eco friendly way! we got a coupon for a free tasting at the imagery estate winery too!
SylviaSeptember 27, 2011Take the tram tour! You'll learn a lot and it's a cooling break in the cave tour :)
Thaisa LemosMay 25, 2013Not worthy. The tour is good, but the tasting is cheap: they don't change glasses between wines (even from red to white) or, worse, from wine to water. Disgusting.
My Name Is DimpleSeptember 2, 2012Try imagery first, and then head to benzinger for the tour and tasting

At Benziger, we’re about three things: family, great wine and healthy vineyards. For more than thirty years we’ve searched Sonoma County for the most distinctive and expressive vineyard sites. Once found, we tended these properties using certified Biodynamic, organic and sustainable farming methods.
