The Farm Tour
The tour is a walk of about 45 minutes through the creamery and vineyard, including the solar-powered barn where you meet the goats and sheep, and an explanation of how the farm makes its wine and cheese. It ends with a tasting of estate cheeses and a wine flight, or grape juice for children and anyone not drinking. It costs $30 a person, paid when you book; each booking takes up to four people, and anyone over 3 counts. The route uses paved paths and a well-kept dirt road and is wheelchair accessible.
Tours cannot be refunded, but you can move to another date with 24 hours' notice. Larger groups should call the tasting room on (707) 895-2410.
The Tasting Room
Drop in to taste and buy wine and cheese without a booking if there are four of you or fewer. A small number of tables are first come, first served, and outside food is not allowed. The Farm Fare menu from the estate kitchen runs daily until 4pm, and on some weekends the chef serves a seated Flight and Bites menu by reservation. Groups of 5 to 12 should book ahead; they get a seated wine and cheese tasting for $50 a person.
The farm is part of the Navarro Vineyards family. Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc grow on its own 23 acres of vines.
Dogs and Children
Dogs are welcome on the patio on a lead, but not in the culinary garden, and there is a fenced off-lead dog park by the car park. All ages are welcome on the farm tour.
Getting There
Boonville is in the Anderson Valley in Mendocino County, a couple of hours north of San Francisco. The last stretch on Highway 128 is a winding road, so allow time for a break. The farm hosts seasonal events, announced in its monthly newsletter.
