What makes Notre Vue Estate so special is the diversity of terroir that sweeps across the rich tapestry of our land, allowing us to grow a selection of European grape varietals rarely found in such close proximity to each other. The vast views from the summit are a patchwork of vineyards and open space seamlessly woven together over the years.
We take pride in producing ultra-premium wines from our estate vineyards located within two of California's most famous viticultural appellations: Russian River Valley and Chalk Hill. Located in Sonoma County, our 710 acre estate boasts many diverse micro climates, including rare soil and slope combinations.
This delicate wine offers aromatics reminiscent of watermelon, orange rind, and morning roses. Fruity on the palate, the crisp acidity balances flavors of strawberries, guava, and white peach. Try this Rose with a fresh goat cheese salad, seafood, or lightly grilled summer fruit. Be careful, though.
Pure elegance in a glass, this refreshing GSM Rose is the perfect accessory for any occasion. From nose to palate, notes of white nectarine, lychee, and orange blossom are present, complemented by light minerality and crisp citrus zest on the finish. This wine offers aromas of fresh Bartlett pear, lemon juice and white flowers, and follows with a palate of ripe green apples, nectarine, and Asian pears.

Enjoyed a wonderful time wine tasting here! We came on a cold, rainy/foggy day last week, and were immediately offered heaters and blankets upon arrival. This made our table quite cozy and relaxing. Even though the wider view of the vineyard was partially obscured by the fog, it actually made for a stunning intimate atmosphere. Our sommelier was very friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed every wine we were served, and particularly loved the Chardonnay Musque and Sparkling Rosé. I enjoyed our sommeliers enthusiasm for his work and knowledge, which was contagious and engaging. He graciously answered

I’ve had many trips to Napa and surrounding areas. The venue was amazing with the best view from the patio. The wine was very good. The service was very poor. We visited on the platypus tour, and our bus was a little late. In my opinion our experience should not have been punished because of that. He would pour our wine then leave. Offered zero knowledge, details or personality to our experience. I went back to ask for a revisit of a couple wines which he did accommodate, thankfully.
I would give this establishment a second chance because the wine was very good and the view was beautiful. But

We had such a nice time during our tasting on the terrace at Notre Vue. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. Definitely check it out for $25 for 5 tastings (Rosé, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon). We also added a small charcuterie board for $15. And you can’t beat the view! We also checked out the lakeside view and it was beautiful as well. You can’t go wrong either way!

Pleasant & peaceful, no rush tasting by Jared. Took care of all social distancing & not reusing glasses, pens, brochures! Come here for good easy going set up, 100% covid safe environment, excellent views & fairly good wines! Even in weather of 96 degrees summer , this was a good experience, will surely recommend for any day of the year!

I had the most fabulous experience at this gorgeous winery. The staff is absolutely fantastic and I was lucky enough to meet a young gentleman named Kyle who did an outstanding job and was both professional and charismatic! The beautiful setting , fantastic wine and great hospitality complement each other for a five-star experience!
Can’t wait to go back!

Wow! What a hidden gem in the area. The outdoor tasting room is set back in a sprawling vineyard, atop a hill giving it incredible views of the Russian River Valley. Seriously, the view is spectacular. The wines we tasted were all excellent. I ended up purchasing several bottles of their Pinot Noir (it was that good). Others in my party purchased a bottle of their bubbly. All in all, it was so worth the trip to this vineyard.

This is my first visit to Notre Vue. I found it to be a nice change from the usual Sonoma County wine tasting routine. The winery is off the beaten path with a very casual tasting/guest area. The wines are divided up between 2 labels, Norte Vue, and Balverne. Notre Vue is French blends, and Balverne is a variety of whites and reds. The winery is secluded on 750 acres at the end of a long dusty road.
We visited the winery as part of the Wine Road Food and Wine Affair event. They were serving brie and fig tarts. I don't recall which wine they were pairing it with, but I'd guess the Chardonnay. Available
