Wine tasting experience with the variety of wines they offer is impressive. Wine club membership is reasonably priced, but a great bargain if you take advantage of purchasing futures. Invest today in tomorrow's wine with a winery that makes great wine. This is a triple win.
We travel from Michigan twice a year and bring friends. This is a big highlight of their time in Bodega Bay.

Small family owned winery. They had a good variety to taste from. Kids played Bocce ball while we sipped our wine. Nicole was fantastic. We stayed a couple of hours - longer than anticipated and ended up taking a few good bottles home. Looking forward to enjoying them at leisure. All in all glad we picked Sunce.
I have a feeling we'll be back!

After hearing what my family had to say I am leaving a review for them because they do not have an account . “Family owned winery’s are where it is at . Not too small not too big. All great things. Cheese, home grown olives, and crackers to go with the amazing fresh wine. If you are an animal lover their are 2 beautiful doggie that greet you when arriving and makes sure you are in correct parking spot. Truly a beautiful place, owners, workers and environment. Highly recommend! No complaints!”

By accident, we showed up at a Harvest Day event they had going on. We ended up joining in on barrel tastings and I was so impressed by the wines, as well as all the festivities and great customer service. I’ve ordered multiple cases since then and I’ve loved all of the wine! Their selection is quite diverse, which is great in an area dominated by Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Also to note, the winery definitely has a casual, friendly vibe ☺️

So, the plan was to try three different wineries on our day adventure, but had such an amazing tasting experience here that it turned into a solid 3 hours of barrel tasting followed by a picnic on the grounds. Our glasses runneth over. Staff were generous, knowledgeable and kind. Loved the animals who were tasting room guides. Extras experience. Not to be missed. HUGE and unique selection.

This is our all time favorite winery. We got a personal tour, barrel tasting experience & the owner from Croatia last June & can't wait to go back! We just joined their wine club as well. A must if you want a relaxing, personal experience but call to let them know you're coming in advance so they have someone to show it all to you. Nikki was our guide & she is the best! And the manager!
