Bella Vineyards & Wine Caves

I loved this visit to Bella! I’ve been twice before; it’s a favorite spot due to the small, family nature of it. It’s Sonoma County winemaking the way it should be… local, connected, fun (I.e., not stuffy and corporate). This time around we took the tour, which I recommend if you want an intro into the process, or if you just want to know more about Bella Vineyards’ winemaking. You taste wine on the go throughout the tour, which I thought was a nice touch. Garrett hosted our tour and was excellent - willing to answer questions, have fun, and go with the vibe of the group. He was also very knowledgeable of the local wineries, restaurants, history, etc. One bit of advice… you likely need a reservation to get the most out of your time. Sure, you may get to taste the wine without one, but you won’t have the same experience or attention (especially if they are busy).

I had a flew friends fly out for my birthday. I had gotten some recommendations to hit Bella and it did NOT disappoint. We booked the private tour. I’m so glad we did. The first thing we were told was to not feel rushed. We were taken through the property with such care and passion. The wine was amazing. I included a ton of pictures. The property is gorgeous. My group couldn’t say enough great things. Can’t wait to come back. You won’t regret booking. Thanks for making my birthday trip so memorable.
