Belden Barns — Attraction in Petaluma

I came here for the first time as the last stop on a wine tour for an organization I'm a part of (Spinsters of San Francisco). The owners are the nicest people, and I can't stress what charismatic and charming storytellers they are. Honestly, for me it was inspiring to see two people still so in love as partners in both life and business.

They introduced their wine collection to us (a group of 20) interwoven with the story of how they grew up, met and started their winery together. What made the whole thing even sweeter was their awesome greeter dog, Penny, who captivated our group from the moment we got off the bus. She guided us to the barn and kept coming to the back of the group to make sure everyone was accounted for.

The sauvignon blanc was my favorite wine. So excited to visit here again and see what Lauren and Nate will do with it - they have plans to add a tasting room and creamery. If you are planning a trip to wine country, add Belden Barns...

I don’t drink wine but there is so much more to Belden Barns then it’s great wine. My sisters and daughter all loved it and each became a member but I liked so much more. The Wishing Tree touch my heart and I have set a course to allow my wish to come true. The gardens and grapes were breathtakingly beautiful I have pictures to prove it. I bought the polenta and brought it home to Maine, it was delicious. Meeting and seeing the Belden family was precious. Dream Big! Belden Barns is an experience, one I am grateful...

What a special place! If you're looking for a more off the beaten path, non-commercial/flashy place, with DELICIOUS wine I might add, this is the place! The Beldens are absolutely lovely people who welcomed our large party for mine and a friend's birthday celebration. They were warm, generous, and we loved hearing their sweet story while tasting their amazing wines. The property is absolutely stunning and the wishing tree is a special experience not...
