Moondance Cellars — Attraction in Cotati

What a hidden gem off the beaten path! As I was searching for wineries in Sonoma, I came across the website for Moondance Cellars. I was intrigued by the idea of tasting wine while visiting with horses and dogs. My partner was equally excited by the opportunity to explore a few stellar classic cars. Our expectations were met and exceeded! David and Priscilla are a husband/wife duo who have been making wine on their own terms, using both standard and innovative techniques. They have a variety of whites (chardonnay) and reds (pinot noir, merlot, cabernet sauvignon). There was not a single wine that I did not enjoy. My two favorites were the pinot and cab. During the tasting, David explained his whole process to us, including the history of Moondance. While he was speaking with us, it was clear that his sole focus was on us, and he wanted to get to know us. After the wine tasting, David gave us an extra pour and gave us a tour of the property. We were able to say hello to Teddy (a horse) and explore several classic cars. It felt like a home away from home.

Visiting Moondance Cellars was spectacular. I cannot recommend it more highly. We are going home members of Moondance's Wine Club so that we can enjoy David and Priscilla's wine year round. Moondance is absolutely worth a visit. Thank you to David...

Most of my family was visiting California for the first time, and we wanted to find a family-friendly winery, as our age range was from 4 to 68 for the six of us. After searching online, I came across this 5-star reviewed winery and thought it sounded different and interesting. We decided to give it a try, and man, they did not disappoint! David and Priscilla were outstanding hosts! This is not your typical snooty wine tasting. We brought some lunch and sat outside at a picnic bench with amazing scenery, horses, dogs, and really cool cars surrounding us. The kids played with the dogs and ran around while the three adults tasted amazing wine and had even more amazing conversation. Talking to David as he shared his stories with us was like talking to an old friend we’ve known for years. I 100% recommend this winery, both for the wine and for the experience. Thank you for helping us create such wonderful memories! Can’t wait to...

Moondance Cellars is a wonderful little place in Sebastopol. I searched for a “dog friendly” winery, and really got lucky finding this gem.

David and his wife (sorry I’m forgetting your name!) were incredibly kind and welcoming. They gave us a tour of their beautiful property, let our dogs play with their dog, and delivered on some outstanding wines.

This place comes highly recommended from me, my two human companions, and my two canine companions. I wish I could have stayed longer to pet the horses some more, and hear more of the history of this awesome stop. Keep up the...
