Goldeneye Winery
Pinot Noir is the perfect wine for red wine lovers. Share a bottle of one of our single vineyard Pinots or the pinnacle of our winemaking portfolio, Ten Degrees, at your next dinner party this fall. Celebrate with our 2017 Goldeneye Sparkling Brut Rose! This dazzling sparkling wine begins with layered aromas of orange marmalade and freshly baked biscuits, as well as notes of summer strawberry and cherry making it the perfect starter for a weekend brunch.
Services
Goldeneye Winery was founded in 1996, years before the Pinot Noir boom that has reshaped the landscape of California winemaking. But the genesis for Goldeneye goes back even further. In 1990, after fifteen years of making world-class Bordeaux-varietal wines, Dan and Margaret Duckhorn embraced their growing love of Pinot Noir.
Our light to medium bodied food-friendly Vin Gris of Pinot Noir and Rose are wines best served cold and a wonderful accompaniment to a variety of foods. The Vin Gris is crafted from juice drawn from harvested Pinot Noir grapes that is left on the skins just long enough to provide richness and a hint of color to the wine.

Visiting Goldeneye is such a treat. The winery is breathtakingly beautiful. The pinots and sparkling wines are so so good. And the staff goes above and beyond in their hospitality.

I most recently visited a few weeks ago. I believe the gentleman who helped us is named Doug. He welcomed us with a splash of bubbles and happily accommodated the two extra guests we had in our party. He was also very welcoming of the two dogs and toddler we had in tow. He was the perfect mix of informative and helpful while still giving us plenty of breathing room to enjoy our company and the tasting. He threw in several

Four of us visited here on a Friday in August and we had an exceptional experience. The winery "garden" area offers a spectacular view of the estate vinyards and the forested hills beyond.
Our tasting experience host was both attentive and non obtrusive.
The location demanded exceptional wines, and they did not disappoint. We are very familiar with virtually all of the great Pinot noir being bottled in the Sonoma County area and the Goldeneye pinots stand with the best of them. Goldeneye is very much worth the 90 minute drive from the Santa Rosa area to Mendocino's Anderson Valley

Visited Goldeneye Winery during Pinot Fest 2021. They offered a nice wine and cheese pairing, and the grounds were beautiful. Our server had information for us about each of our wines and cheeses, and they all went together nicely. The wines were not much to our liking however, but we did only try pinots, so cannot comment on other types. We did buy a bottle of Pinot, but it was mostly out of courtesy.

As a Duckhorn family club member, it kind of pains me to write this review. I've visited every one of their wineries in CA (from Hollister to Philo), but this was my most lackluster experience at one of their wineries to date.

We drove up 3 hours from the Bay, excited to visit Goldeneye Winery. We literally planned our whole Phil/Booneville trip SPECIFICALLY around visiting Goldeneye, which makes it even more disappointing.

Let's start with the positives: the location is gorgeous!!! The gardens, the view, it's all very breathtaking! The wine is incredible. If you love a good

Never have I ever gone to this winery and be disappointed. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is phenomenal. The vineyard behind the winery is simply majestic. The Pinot Noir's are top-notch, albeit a bit pricey. If you like high end Pinot's from Anderson Valley, this is a must visit winery.

Came here on Saturday with my husband and it was an amazing time. The property is beautiful and the wine tasting was really good. We sat in tables 6 feet apart all overlooking the pretty vineyard views, and besides the wines they also provide water, and crackers. Alexis helped us and she was very nice and made us feel welcomed. In summary, great customer service, wine and views.

Absolutely lovely grounds and quite tasty wines too. The view from the outdoor tasting patio is absolutely gorgeous, looking over the garden and into the vineyard with the forested hills beyond. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable and we got to try 8 different wines (with some crackers on the side).

Impersonal and cold staff. Snobby and pretentious staff who seem very bored with having to cater to you. Sad as I liked the tastings and property. No waters offered to my non tasting members. Other wineries in the area were FAR kinder and warm welcome. Maybe due to corporate strength they don't need the business?

We had an amazing afternoon tasting here. We tried the pinot noirs and other samples they offered and they had a card about a discount on Rose wine. We asked if we could sample few and our server brought out samples of of them. We not only bought the Pinot we usually give out as gifts, also 11 Roses for ourselves. Absolutely gorgeous gardens and vineyard

Oh my goodness, Goldeneye Winery is quite possibly one of the most beautiful wineries I have ever visited. The manicured grounds with the vineyards and tree covered mountains in the background were stunning!

Being a big fan of Duckhorn, I was excited to try Goldeneye and it did not disappoint. Their outdoor seating area only has five tables so there was adequate spacing and the staff were constantly spraying everything down. Their pinots were amazing the the staff explained every wine in detail. If I were to visit only one winery in the area again, it would be this one!

As members of paraduxx, we had heard a lot about goldeneye from staff at both paraduxx and duckhorn, and were so excited to check out the winery. the grounds were beautiful and serene - seeing the mountains covered in fog and the vineyards were warm and sunny. however our experience was underwhelming to say the least. the staff was very rigid with tastings, unwilling to let us try anything on the menu that wasn't part of the tasting flight. the woman who helped us didn't bother explaining what we were tasting, origins, or anything. it felt incredibly commercial and robotic, which is opposite

Trying to find tasting res during co-vid is a stressful process but Goldeneye made everything exceptionally seamless. All their staff prioritized safety (mask and cleanliness protocol) without sacrificing hospitality and warmth. We had Doug taking care of us, he was genuinely kind and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the wines and view and were happy to sign up for their wine club.

Thank you to everyone there working hard to keep us all safe and still enjoying the simple pleasures of life!

This was our second visit to Goldeneye, after the first visit we joined the wine club! Their pinots are just amazing, some of the best we've ever tasted. We had a wonderful tasting with Alexis. They have a lot less seating right now due to COVID, but we didn't feel rushed at all during our stay. We came a little early, at 11:30, and the weather was really cool and pleasant. The grounds are spectacular and it's such a relaxing view. Loved all the Pinots but especially the 10 degrees. Don't miss it!

This place is Pinot noir.
What's not to like it is beautiful.
If you were to only have time for one winery in this area you need to go here.
After the sip we went here with a tasting appointment. Very clean and great hospitality.
Knowledgeable staff and great wines.
We ended up joining there wine club.
Alexis talked about all the wines and wineries,
She was very engaging.
My favorite was 10 degrees .
We can not wait to go back and relax and enjoy this beautiful winery.
Another favorite was Migration .

Taste of Confluence is a must tasting experience! Here from Seattle and we met Doug, who spent the afternoon with us. Such a great experience, getting on the ATV up to the oldest, largest Oak tree - where we tasted through the Confluence wines. Ending the tasting down with a view of the vineyards.

Doug is so knowledgeable about the wines and the whole region. Favorites were the Hillside, Lower Bench, and Brut Rose was amazing! I wish we lived closer so we could visit often. But we'll be back!

I was impressed with their service already even before we arrived.

We ran into extremely bad long weekend traffic so I called Goldeneye asking if possible to change the reservation, they were very accommodating and changed our table to 90mins later. We ended up arriving 20mins earlier than expected, and was greeted with refreshing rose while they prepared our table, and we got seated within 10mins.

I highly recommend their elevated tasting experience, the food paring was very well selected and went really well with each wine. We're both huge Pinot Noir, which Goldeneye specializes in, we
