    Buena Vista’s founder, Count Agoston Haraszthy, arrived in Sonoma County in the 1850s and planted some of the state’s first European varietals, laying the foundation for the Buena Vista Winery.

    Great tour (history, good wines, and excellent service). The decoration is a little hipster for my taste but adds a great personality to the winery.

    Wine tasting is currently $20 per person for the non reserve, not $10 like others tips. Still a good value for $20, as the wines are pretty good.

    The new french owner destroyed the old California vegetation and feel of this winery. This was a true national historic site. He installed phoney glitz and destroyed history. Sad

    One of the oldest vineyards around. Be sure to go when they have a wine sale. You can get great bottles of wine for $5 to $15!

    The oldest winery and the first one in California! Founded 1854 and ground zero for the wine industry! Wonderful tasting here.

    The Dijon clones Chardonnay is the best I've found in either Sonoma or Napa and merits a stop all on it's own, but it's only periodically available.

    Tome for the experience, stay for the wine. The Sheriff might be the best red blend in Sonoma.

    (While exploring rum interests in Nicaragua, legend has it that Count Haraszthy perished crossing a crocodile-infested river.) Cheers!

    Our server was awesome, but while we were purchasing wines, some guy came and told her to go wait on another party. She said she had to finish w/ us, but he said they were "important." What a douche.

    Interesting history (although the founder sounds like he was a bent as a 4 dollar bill!), but pretty average wine. Over priced. You're paying for the landscaping.

    Apparently black people don't have green money..After a wine tasting, I was ignored for an extended period of time. I was about to place an order but decided to leave due this awful treatment.
