Kosta Browne Winery — Restaurant in Sebastopol

Kosta Browne Wines are exceptional! Wine production is very limited as Kosta Browne is focused on delivering the very best Pinots: flavorful, intense, and balanced.

Three interesting notes about Kosta Browne: Kosta Browne wines are carried in only the very best restaurants across the US, many of them Michelin starred establishments. The winery is not open to the public. Only members are allowed private wine tastings, tours and wine allotments. Wine membership is very unique. You don't just sign up and within a month start getting a shipment of selected wines on a quarterly basis. The Kosta Browne wine membership list has a 2-4 year waiting list!

A group of friends and I did a private wine tour and tasting with Russell Batt in June 2014. Amazing experience! We tasted 3 bottles and also sampled a handful of wines directly from the barrels. The overall vibe was laid back and comfortable. It was as if we were just enjoying wine in Russell's very own house. It was perfect.

We learned a quite a bit about Kosta Browne: How Dan Kosta and Michael Browne humbly started their wine business by saving tip money! The Kosta Browne wine making process Kosta Browne's three appellation wines: Sonoma Coast, Russian River and Santa Lucia Highlands.

As we concluded our private event, I just wanted to immediately buy a few bottles of wine! Again, Kosta Browne doesn't sell any wines at the wine tour. No gift shop, either. I left feeling helplessly craving more Kosta Browne wine.

Grapes and terroir help distinguish good wine from great wines but I’ve always been a believer that it’s also about the employees. Great employees like Joyelle Finn and Russell Batt combined with great wines create the Kosta Browne experience. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Hope to meet Dan Kosta and Michael Browne in the near future or have an opportunity to invest in...

It was special to be invited to taste here by a friend. The three of us were greeted by Blaze upon arrival, who welcomes us with a glass of champagne. We were the last tasting of the day and I appreciate how we did not feel rushed. Blaze showed us around the facilities and gave us a tour. I love love love learning about how things, so I tend to ask a lot of questions. Blaze was awesome and answered our questions.

After the tour, we sat at the tasting room ( I believe there are 4) with the beautiful kitchen. It was great to learn about the wines produced on site. The wine was great. If you have a chance to go, would...

Kosta Browne has been our favorite wine membership for years, but we only recently made our first visit. My husband and I have been to wineries all over the state and beyond and both agreed this was our best tasting experience yet. Joe was friendly, knowledgable, and generally enjoyable to spend time with. The tour was thoughtful and the tasting room atmosphere was relaxed and intimate. There were several delicious places to grab lunch nearby as well. We look forward to...
