I highly recommend visiting the Korbel Cellars and taking the tour. The FREE tour gives the history of Korbel and some California history. I learned a lot and found it fun! The grounds are beautiful and not to be missed. At the end of the tour is a free champagne tasting. This is a nice benefit. If you are on... more

My friend is a seasoned wine country resident who was eager to share her home county with me. This is one of the wineries she selected, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there.

The location is so cool, with towering redwoods and the classical historic building, and champagne is always good. But other parts left a bit to be desired. The main problem with the tour was... more

We stopped by Korbel between visiting Armstrong Redwoods and driving to the coast. What a wonderful place. The tour and tastings are free and the staff is both energetic and informative. They have a great little cafe in which you can grab a bite to eat as well. We visited both Sonoma Valley adn Napa Valley and this was our... more
