At Azari Vineyards, a family-owned boutique winery, you can experience a beautiful vineyard estate reminiscent of a Tuscan villa. We like to treat our guests to enjoy scrumptious morsels from our brick oven while they regale themselves over a glass of wine. The Azari family has planted their own vineyards and built their own facilities - from dirt to mortar - because they wanted everything to match their unique vision.
They specialize in small lots of wine, such as their award-winning Pinot Noir and cool-climate Shiraz. Each bottle encapsulates the song and poem of our land, captured en vino, and brought to you, our extended family. Our family endured many trials and tribulations to get this far. Founders Kamal and Parichehr had planned to go back to Iran after they earned their degrees, only to have their plans dashed by the Iranian Revolution of 1979.

Made a reservation to taste for two, $20 per person. Server was pleasant and we tasted a Riesling, Rose', Pinot Noir, Merlot and Shiraz, the Merlot taste was a "bonus" taste.
A few things to note:
1. The grounds and the gravel patio area for tasting are not well groomed and I would not say they are rustic but rather unkempt. The pergola made of wine bottles for the roof above our table needed a good power wash, the tablecloth was badly wrinkled and the glasses for tasting are thick one size large bowl restaurant glasses style from 30 years ago. Felt very outdated but maybe that

One of the BEST experiences I have had at a winery. Super intimate setting. Gorgeous views. And ummmm the most delish wine you will ever taste (at least in my top three). The young gal that served us was a gem and a local also from Petaluma so we had a lot of things to chat about. We also ordered a pizza and the gentleman behind the counter not only was making pizzas but helping the other gal pour wine (and come to find out he has only been working there for two weeks) They were killing it for there only being two of them. I was impressed with their patience and all over calmness for how hectic

We really enjoyed our time and wines here. The staff was all wearing masks and gloves, customers wore masks until eating/wine tasting, tables were spaced outside over 6ft apart. The wines were all delicious, the cheese box (for an additional cost) was plentiful and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely visit again when we're in the area.

Stayed at the cabin/house on property. Was severely disappointed. Didn’t receive any wine while visiting. The place was very very poorly kept and overrun with ants. The bedsheets were stained with blood. No one contacted us about our poorly maintained stay. Had to report to Airbnb and they even had trouble until providing photos.

What a wonderful place! We stayed in their AirBnB and got to explore the premises and had wine tasting at the winery. Hosts are incredibly nice and hospitable. Winery is beautiful with gorgeous views and delicious wine. Cyrus made us pizza from scratch in brick oven. Everything is clean and they are following COVID guidelines carefully. At this point you have to make an appointment in advance. We are hoping to come back soon and bring friends. Definitely recommend adding this place to your exploration of wine country.

Customer service is HUGE in my book and Azari Vineyards, specifically Mr. Cyrus Azari, went above and beyond for me! Mr. Azari was more than kind of enough to listen to my issue and help me resolve it in less than 5 minutes. Now that is unheard of! Not only is the winery beautiful and everyone should visit, they have the best people running the show, hands down!! Thank you, Cyrus! The next time I am in your neck of the woods, I will stop by again!!

When you live in Sonoma county, you can start to take for granted all the wonderful vineyards and tasting rooms here in Sonoma County and neighboring (but snooty!) Napa valley, with its comparably tasting but significantly more expensive (and pretentious) wines. As a local though, you look for local vineyards and tasting rooms that are off the beaten path, and one of Sonoma County's hidden gems is Azari Vineyards. Now - full disclosure - I'm a sucker for owner-operated businesses. I just feel like there's more of a sense of connection, and Azari Vineyard is a great case in point

Excellent Wine, Hospitality and stunning landscape.
You will find all the above in this vineyard.
Reservation is a must to enjoy the best-personalized experience. We reserved on OpenTable for wine tasting with pizza for lunch. The reservation was $54 after taxes for two. It is a great place for larger groups. This price was worth it.
Worth of being a member of this vineyard. Considering the landscape views, outdoor seating, and wood-fired pizza.

I love, love, LOVE a day at Azari! Lovely hosts, great wine, delicious wood fired pizza, and stunning scenery. I love that they have Airbnb rooms now, adorable, and yup, I would stay there a week and explore the rest of Petaluma! But so far, I've never made it past Azari - why go anywhere else? Love it!

I do not recommended this place at all. If their wine vineyard service is like their guest house practices you should try another vineyard. During early summer, I called to reserve their guest house. I gave them my specifics and I was told that my room was booked for the Thanksgiving weekend. I had a voucher for three days and was willing to pay for an additional day and was informed that I was booked. I contacted my family members and informed them that we would be spending the holiday on a vineyard enjoying the country side and wine tasting. In early November, I received a call from Azari

Azari came highly rated to us through a word of mouth recommendation, but we were sorely disappointed. We live in San Francisco and visit wine country regularly, and Azari was the worst wine tasting experience we've had. You make an online reservation and pay upfront. The service was terrible. It took over 30 minutes to get our second wine tasting. There were only 2 people working and they seemed to be distracted by things other than serving their guests (fixing the fountain). On top of bad service, the wine isn't great--the pinots were tart, and the Shiraz was okay. I will never come back and

We checked out Azari as part of Petaluma Drinks and were really disappointed. The tasting room manager was visibly intoxicated by our arrival at noon, unable to poutlr without spilling on the table and slurring. If took us nearly an hour to get three tasting pours, as he was so distracted. We took home one good bottle of wine, but definitely won't come back.

We hosted a fairly large event here last weekend and it was magical! Azari took care of everything and hosted the most amazing day. One of the owners threw some last min (as in day before and day of) curve balls at me which was very frustrating but when it came time for the event to start everything was worked out and went off without a hitch. Special thanks to Wiley, Kathleen, the chef and his wife to making all of our guests feel welcomed and making a day I've been dreaming about for months exceed even the highest of expectations. The food was fantastic, the wine even better and views comparable

We visited this winery a few weekends ago. It's a MUST VISIT in our opinion!!!
We were there on a rainy/drizzly day and alot of other groups cancelled. We were lucky and followed the owner into the property. He welcomed us in and took care of us himself. Their wines were delicious. The BEST Pinot Noir we had all weekend.
The property is BEAUTIFUL. Literally feels like you're in a different country. His son in law gave us a tour and explained alot of the work the owner had done himself. It was amazing to see at the pride the family has in their winery. It's a great little family

My only regret is that it took me so long to write this review. July 2018, my husband, friends, parents & I went to Sonoma for a weekend to celebrate my 35th birthday. We started the actual day right here at Azari winery. We were the only people there (It was really early) so we had the whole place to ourselves. The views are perfect, the property is beautiful, it would be a neat place to stay! The service was personal & friendly. The team at Azari made my 35th birthday extra special! I couldn't have imaged a better way to start my 35th year!

Very nice small vinery. Friendly staff was very friendly and accommodating. We made a reservation by calling them directly while in the area. Place very well maintained and has a feel of country site in Spain. It's not far away from the downtown in Petaluma, but away from busy roads and very quiet. We will be back. The allowed our dog on the property.

From beginning to end, Azari was great. I came out with my sister and best friend to celebrate my birthday. The entrance is kind of tucked away, but once you make your way down the gravel road, you're treated so nicely.
We were running a little late for our appointment made online, but it wasn't an issue. Cyrus got to pouring. We learned so much about the Petaluma Gap and enjoyed several tastings (including a mystery wine) and a great cheese pizza. The weather was perfect and so was the hospitality.
I was presently surprised by my chocolate covered strawberries, cupcakes, and olive

This is tough, because I've had friends visit since, and they had a terrible experience. That being said, we had a great time.
We were running late for our reservation, and Cyrus, the owners' son, was like "no problem, just get here when you get here." We arrived with our group of 10, and Cyrus said, "Look, this isn't my first rodeo, you don't seem like a bunch that need a tasting. Do you want to do bottles?" And we did. We got a few bottles and wandered around the property and ate the awesome pizza Cyrus made. The view from the vineyards was beautiful,

This is an amazing winery to visit! High quality wine and great people in a beautiful location with rolling hills all around. Plus they have fresh brick oven pizza with the tasting on the weekends!
We joined their club after our first visit and will probably be members for life. Cyrus and Kaveh are extremely kind - they even got us a separate pizza cutter for our vegetarian pizza during a busy tasting day. This is a very personalized, friendly environment with good food, wine, and views. Always a good day to visit our friends at Azari :)

I can't say enough good things about this place.
A small family operation where you are treated like family when you're there. Cyrus, Kaveh, Mama Azari Joon, and Bob (and Brad the dog) were just great hosts. I have to say that the reason why I came back was because of Cyrus. He's such a great host and make some pizzas for us in their wood-fired pizza oven.
Now, on to their wines. I know it sounds cliche to say that you can taste and see every decision that was put in to making their wines. When you look at their wines, they are unfiltered which not only gives so much more flavor
