Abbot's Passage Winery & Mercantile - Glen Ellen, California

I came here on a rainy Friday morning at 11 and left thoroughly impressed. The staff were excellent. They accommodated my family, myself and my friend magnificently. They were patient, kind, thoughtful, and made the whole wine tasting experience exceptional. I would recommend this place 10/10 times. The staff were engaging with the history of the winery, showed us some unique aspects of the winery and sought honest feedback from us. The wine was good as we went through the tasting. Really enjoyed some of the food as well. Overall I would come back here again if given the chance.

Lovely chill vibe here. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the grounds so much …not to mention the wine, that I became a member! Really looking forward to coming back when the weather is nice to enjoy the outdoor pizza oven and multiple games.

We've been members at Gundlach Bundschu for a bit and recently discovered they had a sister winery, Abbot's Passage so this past weekend, we had a group of 6 and 3 dogs go up to see what it was all about. TLDR, its absolutely wonderful.

The property itself is huge and has tons of seating, beautiful trees changing colors, outdoor corn hole if you want and even board games inside. They are very dog-friendly and even brought multiple treats and water bowls for our little guys.

Martha was a great host, keeping things light, but really showing her passion. The wines were very good too with some really different ones stealing the show. The Sightline and Redshift were group favorites as was the Spirit rock.

We even moved inside and grabbed a couple bottles just to enjoy there because we were having such a great time.

They really have something special at Abbot's Passage and you should check it out if you have the chance!

This is a beautiful winery. The tasting room is classy and well decorated. The surrounding grounds are pretty. The wine is very good. We enjoyed all of the wines that we tasted. However, the price per flight for tasting was a bit steep.

As a seasoned industry professional, I can't say enough wonderful things about our tasting experience at Abbot's Passage. Their entire team's hospitality was warm, inviting, and friendly, and their staff were all incredibly knowledgeable. Some highlights were our welcome, complete with a "Welcome Splash" of their beautiful Rose (which we took home several bottles of!), the thoughtful and functional outdoor seating under the Olive Tree's and the beautiful Graze Board prepared by Chef Kyle with a delightful assortment of local nibbles and their very own garden-fresh accoutrement. I highly recommend you making this one of your stops while in Wine Country for a truly remarkable experience.

Had to try this winery after excellent sampling at its “sister” Gundlach Bundschu. Wines were unique and creative. We enjoyed the knowledgeable hosting by Lucy and Martha and their accounts of the wine and history of the winery. The ricotta dish prepared by Ezra was both delicious and beautifully presented. Put this winery on your list.

Just happened across this place while driving through Sonoma. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating for families with small children.

The seating area outside is surrounded by Vines, and very well kept.

Would definitely come back with the group or on a date, 10 out of 10 recommend!

We had a lovely tasting experience at Abbots Passage. Tony and Megan took excellent care of us. This is a great place to take a group, there’s a lovely outdoor area to explore and the Mercantile shop is stocked with local female artists goods. We are excited to become a new member and visit often.
