Annapolis Winery

A wonderful little place to have a picnic and enjoy some good wines! The limited run apple wine was an amazing treat!! In all, well worth the very small tasting fee to have an amazing experience in the hills of Annapolis.

This is a first class place. Nestled high above the fog layer in Annapolis, it is a stunning place to relax in the sun, enjoy the splendid views, and drink some of the best wines in Sonoma County. The proprietors are friendly and the tasting room is fantastic.

Nice and open spacious wine valley scene!

Had a pleasant time here enjoying the sunshine and wine! It was lovely to just bathe in the sun while sipping on wine for a weekend!

A bit slow on the service and not quite well-equipped on the selections of cheeses. It was kind for the lady wine pourer to offer it, regardless. It was still in their priced packaging from Costco!

Picked up a couple of bottles we liked. It's a good pop by winery if you're in Sea Ranch road tripping through.

I rarely leave a bad review but these wines are awful. If you are a wine drinker, spend your afternoon looking at the ocean.

Delicious wine and impressive, friendly operation in a beautiful secluded forest winery, a rare setting

It's a quiet little winery with only four wines to taste from ,good tasting wine ,my only complaint is that after purchasing a couple bottles apon opening the bags they were wrapped in ,the wines had ( NO ) label whatsoever on them .Something weard going on at this place.

Poor customer service. We were prepared to purchase two bottles to commemorate the passing of my father but the sales clerk was entirely preoccupied by a group of around five people. She seemed to have a fun time with them. Didn't care to acknowledge us.

Great Little winery. Worth the ride up the mountian from Sea Ranch or Timber Cove. Great wines. The Zinfandel was very unique - excellent - I wish I had a case.

The location is beautiful but the wine is also delicious! Our host Barbara was amazing and super friendly. The whole environment had a great vibe and even our dog was warmly welcomed! Their zinfandel port is amazing and we ended with a bottle of it and a bottle of Barbera. There were books with weddings there too and it looks like a great location for it!

Saw a sign on hwy 1 for wine tasting... it was about noon and we were in no hurry to get home. After driving 7 miles on a very windy road we finally got there and it was closed..... so much for the sign and the website CLOSED!!!! I even tried to call.... not happy and wasted an hour at least for nothing

We went on an adventure up the hill to this remote Winery. I found the owner & wine maker to be very helpful, informative and welcoming. But, I was disappointed that there were only three offerings for tastings. Many of their vintages were already sold out, when we visited in late November 2017. When you drive this far into the hills, you want a little more. Perhaps, they could share their space with another Winery? It would make the experience richer, and more worthwhile. Best Wishes, I know it is probably challenging running this Vineyard and Winery.

Lovely visit at this winery today and the monastdry nearby. We enjoyed tasting their Barbera, Porto and Zinfindel. Across the road we also bought plum jam, blackberries and olive oil from the sisters who run the StarCross farm . Charming and rustic scene and a welcome interlude on the journey to Sea Ranch.

Barbara was fantastic. We enjoyed the wine. There were a few people there playing guitar and singing. We had a wonderful Barbera wine. Other wines were great as well. We would come back in a flash

After driving thirty minutes up a windy hill, seeing the signs for Annapolis was a welcome sight (a few members of our party definitely took Dramamine with their first sip of wine).

The staff is incredibly friendly and the wine is exceptional. Their Barbera is stellar and at a reasonable price point. The view is also gorgeous. Perfect place for a midday picnic. We'll be back!

This is a small family run winery. We went there for the first time on our honeymoon 8 years ago and we came back this last time with our three kids! I didn't realize how long it had been since we had been up there.
I loved it just as much as I did the first time, the owner is a very kind women! When we were there for our honeymoon she taught my husband and I how to wine taste and it had a lasting impression on us we will always come back for more. She took the time to explain things to us and it was awesome!
It's dog and family friendly which is great because we have both!

We made a quick stop here on our way up the coast in July. You have to detour a bit off the main road, but it's worth a stop. Small tasting room, but the gal who poured for us was super nice and we were the only ones there on a weekday afternoon. The wines were nice; we purchased a bottle of Cab for our weekend AND one of the cool hand crafted bowls that they sell in the tasting room. We will go back next time we are up that way.

This winery is off the beating path and is the furthest west of Sonoma country. This is a small production most of the grapes are estate grown on the property. Erin the owner and wine maker took us through his wines that were available the

2012 Barbera Rose
Spicy bing cherries and raspberry a baking spices.

2007 Pinot noir.
Was heavier viscosity than normal low alcohol have. Zesty pomegranate dark stone fruit with a cinnamon, clove finish.


2008 Zinfandel
Fruit Blackberry, figs and tea with a spicy mint finish.

2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
Blueberries with tobacco fennel mint this was the most

We have not visited the winery for about 8 or 9 years; always found ourselves without the time to stop when headed home. However, tonight we were drinking our last bottle of the Annapolis 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon and thinking that we really must return, soon. We tried the wine both direct to the glass without aeration through a venturi plus screen aerator, and with aeration, both at approximately 60 degrees F, for those who care about such things. A very satisfying varietal, easily identified and with a lovely balance, despite the relatively high 14. 6% abv listed on the back label. I would not

We visited last week on Thursday July 10th. Had a wonderful experience with Barbara, the tasting was great, learning about the winery was fun. Purchased a Rose and a bottle of Port (Port is fantastic). Rose was bottled a few weeks ago, this we'll let age. Highly recommended visit.

I'm lucky enough to have grown up when the Napa Valley wasn't overrun with tourists and Big Winery, Inc. Annapolis Winery reminds me of how it used to be near Calistoga. It's a very small place, very casual, great wine and beautiful views. You really feel like you're able to learn a bit about the wine and area and have some interesting wines to take home.

It's a great side trip from a Sea Ranch getaway and I'm not kidding, the wines are excellent and the atmosphere genuine.

Just a hop, skip, and 7 mile drive up a hill, you will find Annapolis Winery along Hwy 1.
Don't miss it! That sign that say "Winery" is not a fake. It will lead you up a gorgeous view of a drive through a small town called Annapolis.

Barbara is possibly the sweetest wine pourer I've met, comping our tasting because it was a slow day. She'll give you a wink and a smile while she tells you the history of the surprisingly amazing wine her family makes.

What an adventure finding this place on a whim....we HAD to buy a bottle of the 2007 Pinot that made our taste buds dance

On a Sunny day driving along Hwy 1 we saw a sign for wine tasting at the beginning of a road up a hill. We took a chance and found ourselves driving for what seemed like days up a twisting redwood road. We landed at the top of the hills to find ourselves here.

Annapolis is a hidden gem in an overcrowded industry. We arrived and Barbara greeted us smiling and warmly welcomed us into the tasting room. She was very friendly and asked us about our trip and shared a little history about the winery. It is really a labour of love and you can taste it. Still a family run winery, their son is now the wine

Loved the picturesque drive to this quaint, tucked away winery. Sophie was our outstanding, interesting, fun, knowledgable tasting guide through this little winery's sampling. She even gave a us a lesson on making wine vinegar which was so cool and interesting! Now she might have been pulling my leg but when I mentioned we came in from Yelp reviews, she didn't know what that was! Seriously, I had to pull out my phone and show her the reviews and she was thrilled her name was mentioned in others reviews. Probably just messing around with me!
The Zin was high quality and powerful. Loved

Came here today for a lovely wine and food pairing with my husband, mom, and stepdad. Aaron and Sophie were so kind, pouring and stuffing us silly with Pinot Noir, Cab, and Zin, each better than the last. After the tasting, Aaron poured us some Barbera that'll be bottled in the last half of 2014 - mark your calendars now because it was delicious right out of the tank.

Will definitely stop by here next time I'm in the area.

My friends and I rent houses in Sea Ranch on HWY 1 every year (6 years now for me) when we go to our favorite yearly event, The Booneville Beer Festival. We cap off the end of our stay every year with a wine tasting and picnic at Annapolis.

Located about seven miles off HWY 1, getting to Annapolis is a bit of a drive. Expect to deal with winding roads about six of the seven miles, but you'll enjoy the scenery as it will take you through some of the states beautiful coastal Redwoods.

Annapolis is tiny as far as wineries go, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in heart. The folks at
