The draw is space: lawns, picnic tables, and actual trails through the preserve, which makes it one of the few stops where a dog gets a real walk rather than just a patio. Confirm the current leashed-dog policy on the trails when you book.

Nigel’s note — first-hand
Minutes from the Sonoma plaza but feels a world away — wide lawns, picnic tables, and actual hiking trails through the grounds. A rare stop where a dog gets a real walk, not just a patio.
Visiting details
Tasting fees are paid directly at each winery, typically $30–$75 per person, and are often waived with a bottle purchase.
