Stopped by through the Sonoma Trolley Wine Tour and B.R. Cohn was such a lovely first spot. We stopped by in the morning and got a nice flight (3 reds and one white) to taste under the sun. Aside from the wine, they also have olive oils, which we were unable to taste. The wine is a bit on the pricy side, but the wine and experience does justify the price. The views of the vineyards are beautiful! Truly a Sonoma County experience!

What a wonderful experience! I brought some out-of-town guests to BR Cohn and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. From the great views to the awesome wine to the personalized and friendly service, it was a great wine country experience. I highly recommend visiting this winery - oops, almost forgot - be sure to sample the olive oils and balsamic vinegars - the champagne balsamic is my favorite. This is a must-do when visiting Sonoma wine country.

We had a very pleasant experience tasting some of B.R. Cohn's delicious wines. As locals, we chose to visit this winery because they are pet friendly AND they have olive oils to taste! We came away with several bottles of wine and oil and vinegar. Plenty of space to maintain social distance and Louis, our server, was great.

This is the worst winery I've ever been to. First of all, it is located in the middle of no where. Secondly, the service was horrible. We made reservation for four adults and they reserved us a tasting room table for a particular time. When we got there we found the tasting room had zero view and all we see is a fridge like a cafe. They refused to give us the dining room for tasting, as there's another group with 6 people are coming. We hanged out there for another hour no one was coming. This is really ridiculous - they completely ignored our reservation. The whole set up is laughable

I fell in love with BR Cohn and joined as member because of their amazing customer service! They have literally treated us like family from day one. Even though they often have big groups that show up, they accommodate all guests with smiles and serve with professionalism. I'd truly recommend them as a wine club to join on the Sonoma side. They've never pressured any of my guests to join, but their wine and customer service stands out with memorable warmness, that my guests are inclined and want to be a part of this winery.

BR Cohn has the most delicious redsso much so, I became a wine club member. It gives me the perfect excuse to go up to Sonoma once a quarter, enjoy a delicious wine tasting with friends, and pick up my wine club selections. Their wines are always a fan favorite at dinner parties.
