Recent Customer Reviews
Not only was it a different kind of wine tasting with unique treats to pair, it was an overall fantastic experience thanks to delicious wines and lovely service. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up liking most of the wines. While I usually don’t get too excited about Zinfandels, Mr. Beast was a favorite! You also get helpful info along the way about the story behind Barber Cellars, their small batches, and the meaningful names to each one.

What is not to like here. Family owned and they actually hang there. Make their own blend of wine. It is fantastic and attached to the Hotel Petaluma which is my favorite place to stay now! Very small and quaint, video game table and fun board games to play or just grab a comfy seat on the couch or chair and hang out. Great locals and nice people.
