   During our stay in California my husband and I had one day to visit Sonoma and were able to pick two wineries tops. We loved the wine (pinot noir’s) so much the first time we visited Schug 3 years ago, it was top on the list and they didn’t disappoint! The ability to ship 6-11 bottles home for $7 was a benefit since we didn’t want to have to fly home with them. They were all so friendly and Rob took great care of us!

   We had a lovely wine tasting experience at Schug. We are members and decided to see what’s new and have lunch in Sonoma. Our host was Tammi and she was great! Very accommodating. We bought a mixed case and would totally recommend this experience to our friends and family.

   Great informative wine tasting at a Carneros winery known for chardonnay and pinot. Jamie, our server, was outstanding and attentive. Would definitely return.

    I have long enjoyed Schug's elegant Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. They have a number of other very interesting wines as well. On our visit, they poured a Rouge de Noirs -- a sparkling rose wine made from Pinot Noir grapes, a St. Laurent, and a reserve Cabernet Sauvignon in addition to examples of their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The St. Laurent is an interesting picnic wine -- little tannin, but bursting with fruit. You'll want to drink it young.

    This is a great wine tasting experience, Jamie was knowledgeable and really engaging throughout. The family owned, small scale operation is homey and we felt connected through the discussion. I have been coming to Sonoma for nearly 20 years and have owned a place here for nearly 4 years. We wished we would have visited sooner and will definitely be back with friends and family.

    No food served but OpenTable requires an answer to that. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, great wines. Would have liked to have had an optional tasting of just their vineyard-designated pinot noirs.

    Small pours, but nice people working and very pretty spot. Most wineries pour a few different wines than what’s only listed on the menu, as well as offer to revisit. I think Schug would be better value if they were to start doing this.

    What a disaster and disappointment this was !!! First of all there were no any food served or offered, very questionable WHY it is part of Open Table app!?! Second this is the worst possible ambiance for a wine tasting, well for any food/ drinks tasting in that matter! … and we did many of those around the world in Australia, Europe, Americas . To be fact clear- 0.2 miles down from the hill where winery is there is a Dairy Farm, full operation, full power blast of manure smell coming with or without wind , all the time , now imagine this on 103 F !! And what was our disbelieve when we were offered a fly-chasing table size fans ( needed at least two of these) for coming flies not to end up in our tasting glass …. So you got the picture! Now , honestly the wines itself were good… if one is able to ignore all of the details stated above.If the winery has a tasting room in Sonoma downtown, and don’t offer any in-house tasting this will be just fine . Plus for us , new in Sonoma-Napa winery experiences, this was our first place to visit. Ruined our impressions and that day we just drove down the California coast just to “ cleanse “ our senses for the next day . Our Advice- avoid this place!

    Schug Carneros Estate WineryResponded on October 8, 2021Thank you for taking the time to pass along your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the experience you had. Typically the conditions on our courtyard are usually quite different as the winds usually blow towards our neighbors, not towards the winery. But that being said, we are again truly sorry for the conditions you experienced during your time with us. Please get in contact with me, i would like to refund your tasting fees. I can be reached at 707-939-9363 x216 Stephen Pirak, DTC Manager.

    Nice setting and personnel. Would suggest a bit more time between tastings and a slightly more generous pours. For survey, no food was served but could not continue without adding a star. Suggest adding a N/A option for food on survey tool. Thanks again and look forward to enjoying our wine.

    I’ve been to Shug twice now and both times the server has gone above and beyond to create a fabulous experience. The wine is delicious, the pours are extremely generous, and they do not hesitate to share more history or info about the wine making process than you get at other wineries. Plus, the price of the experience can’t be beat.

    The staff was nice enough, but it was very hot and they are located very close to a dairy farm, so the ambience left little to be desired. We were a little disappointed.

    Amazing Experience from start to finish. The wine was delicious and we learned so much about each different style. Small quiet off-the-beaten path vineyard/winery. Set in a beautiful backdrop. Hard to beat the views with a delicious glass of wine in your hand! Highly recommend to any travelers. Just be aware transportation is a little difficult without a car so just be prepared and plan ahead. Overall, amazing experience.

    "Sonoma Aroma." When you go to a wine tasting there, all you smell is the cow crap from the dairy farm next door. Not conducive to outdoor tastings. Which is a shame, because they have a nice range of varietals. Surprised by the delicious balance of their red sparkling. The favorite of our group. Brandon was a nice guy doing the best he could in the situation there.

    Schug Carneros Estate WineryResponded on July 9, 2021Susan - Thank you for your visit and for the kind words about your host Branden, and the Schug wines. Thankfully, most days the wind is blowing from the other direction and the aroma of the Dairy doesn't make its way to our Courtyard - Not the case during your visit, I'm very sorry to hear! Our apologies, we hope you will give us an opportunity to have you join us to enjoy our wines in a more comfortable environment, we are working on tasting options for guests who prefer to be indoors.

    No food here. It's just wine tasting. They have a good variety of wines. 5 tastings for $30/each. The outdoor patio was nice and relaxing but it's smaller winery and not as grand as many of the more popular ones. We enjoyed a quick 1 hour visit here
