Absolutely adore Scribe. The vibe here cannot be beat. The food is so fresh and tastes like heaven. The views are so pretty and the ambiance is beyond perfect. I would come back to Sonoma just to come to Scribe. You can go for a casual drink with a friend or a large group to celebrate something special. Great for all occasions.

If you're only in search of aesthetic content for your Instagram, then this is the winery for you. Also be sure to dress super warm if you're coming to visit on a cold day. There are no heat lamps, and blankets are on short supply. We arrived at the property, and it was lovely. The hostess greeted us and started us off with a chilled, un-aged pinot noir that she described as a sangria without the sugar. I would have enjoyed it on a warm summer day, but it was in the 40's that day so it wasn't the cozy start to our experience that I would have expected. We were then seated and

Relaxing yet very adventurous experience. Wines were super, and the food fine dining. Gorgeous setting, like Tuscany.

Scribe Winery is one of the more aesthetic wineries in Sonoma because of the beautiful Hacienda house and the gardens surrounding the property. The service is good, the wine is better but as a Scribe fan and member, I have to point out how ungenerous the pours are for the Hacienda Tasting. For the Hacienda Tasting, you're paying $75 per person for a seat around the perimeter of the house and for five tastings. I recently went for the second time and it lost some of the luster it had the first time due to this stinginess. It appears that you could opt for the cheaper Knoll Tasting for $35
