The pairing is an interesting and quite different experience than just going in, paying $5. and tasting 4 or 5 wines. Seven courses of food (not full plates, just hors d'oeuvre sized bites) and seven or eight wines are served. The chef gives an explanation of the individual courses and wines, and why they go together. At $30. per person,... More

We just left our second visit to KJ and won't go there again. We gave them a second shot after our visit last Oct, thought it might have been an off day, but no, that's just how they are. There's this air of stiffness/unfriendliness there that we haven't noticed anywhere else. You feel like you are expected to buy something... More

Kendall Jackson winery is a gem in an outstanding region. It is one of the few wineries that are offering the food and wine pairing which really enhances both the food and the wine. The food is a small taste but truly a gourmet taste. The wine is from there more extensive collection generally not sold outside of winery itself.... More

We spent a week in Windsor and went to many, many wineries. We happened to notice that the Kendall/Jackson winery offered food and wine pairings and we loved the idea. Also this was recommended to us by other wineries, so we returned after an initial visit to participate in this activity. The cost was $30.00 per person, and I thought... More

Wife and I have visited Kendall-Jackson for the food/wine tasting a couple of times. Will not give any negatives on the wines served for everyones pallet is different and we all like and dislike different wines. What we will comment on is the incredible job that Chef Lowe does with pairing his selections to the wines served. Clearly he loves... More

We had to go to KJ when in the Napa area, but was surprised. Surprised in that the facility was so small. I have been to solo owner operations with large and wonderful tasting rooms, but this was probably only couple of thousand square feet, if that. The staff were wonderful as was the wine, but I guess KJ in... More

Came in for tasting with my partner. Ignored for five minutes, given two wines (one of which, "you dislike Chardonnay so this will make you feel ill" -- way to sell it, guys) and ignored for twenty minutes because, "there are some guys doing a tasting over there I need to attend to." Given that attitude, I was expecting their... More

The tasting room staff is exceptionally personable and knowledgeable. Note that the wines offered for tasting are only available for purchase from the tasting room. If you taste something you find unique and a good value buy it. Recommend the food pairing if you have the time. In addition to the wonderful tasting room. The grounds offer a very delightful...

The tour was wonderful: great hosts, eating fresh grapes off the vines and walnuts off the trees, not to mention the wine tasting in the gazebo! Beautiful french provincial building & manicured gardens make this a very worthwhile stop on your wine tour in Sonoma. More
