What People Are Saying About Viansa Winery & Vineyards

Featured Review

In Short – Tourists belly up to the tile counter to sample the winery's specialty: Italian varietals such as the uncommon (and hand-bottled) Aleatico and Dolcetto. The marketplace offers an impressive collection of consumable goods, with little bowls of seasoned olive oils, spreads, dips and dressings scattered about the display tables. Prepared foods from the Cucina Viansa can be taken to a scenic picnic area that overlooks a 90-acre, man-made, wetland preserve where ducks, seabirds and hawks roost.

Editor's Tips

When to Go:
On Saturday mornings from March through October, the winery gives guided walks through the wetlands, followed by a video presentation and wine tasting.
Know Before You Go:
This southern Sonoma winery sells wine on-site and by mail order only, making it a popular destination for tourists.

Super Wines

by lord_humongous

The Viansa Winery is one of the best wineries I have ever visited. They offer a complimentary taste of any four of their wines and there are dozens of things to sample in their market. They also have a great view outside if you want to sit and have a picnic.

  • Pros: Good Wines, Great View, Free Samples

Tuscan Touristy

Don't get me wrong, Viansa is not bad and being the first winery you encounter on the way to Sonoma (from some directions) it is a good first stop on the way. The view is spectacular, the grounds are a lot of fun, and the deli is useful. To my mind they make too many wines and should concentrate on the ones they do well, and they try a little too hard in general. The experience is a little empty. The same goes for all the items in their deli (though the abundant free sampling does present an opportunity for the hungry spendthrift). So although everything fits together nicely, overall I do not think it is up to the standard of greatness, wine culture, and scenic beauty that marks the best spots in Napa and Sonoma.

  • Pros: Fun, Convenient, On site deli
  • Cons: Too commercial, A litle hollow, Wine is only fair
