The Donum Estate - Featured Reviews (107)
The Donum Estate is a 200-acre winery located in between Sonoma and Napa Counties. A top-notch producer of Pinot Noir with one of the largest private sculpture collection in the world. Well worth visiting.
Beautiful Pinots. Smooth, versatile and delicious. This is our second tasting and it can not get any better. The vineyard was beautiful and consists 22 different sculpture artists from around the world. Wish we had more time to see all of them. Well since we became members we will be back next year. Make sure you arrive early for your tasting. You can easily spend a couple hours here enjoy the wine and this gorgeous vineyard.
Had an amazing experience. One place for all the world’s renown artwork with some beautiful wines. The host Austin is wonderful. Definitely, would love to come back sometime!
DONUM ESTATE VIBES - 🍲 🖼️ 🐑 🍷🌅
Donum was THE most unique wine tasting experience we’ve had!
BREAKDOWN
- FOOD: Outstanding food from Chef Fiorella Butron of the Allikai group. We traveled the world in a plate of small but deeply satisfying bites. From ceviche to pho to mole beet purée, the flavors were delicious & each bite left you wanting more
- ART: Enjoying one of the largest accessible private sculpture collections in the world. The crouching spider was dynamic & breathtaking. The vertical panorama pavilion was an awesome homage to the weather patterns of Carneros. So many unique & thought provoking pieces of art. One could spend days taking all that in
- WINE: Silky & elegant Pinot Noirs representing Carneros, Russian River & Anderson Valley. Y’all know I love my Carneros Pinot Noir & the one 2020 Carneros Estate Pinot Noir had everything I love. Fruit, earth, & funk all brought together by elegant tannins with judicious use of oak. The Chardonnays were deliciously crafted as well. The attention to detail is noticeable & as a bonus all vineyards are regenerative organic certified 👏🏾
- BONUS: A 🔥🔥🔥 playlist (Heard some Kaytranada & Galimatias while tasting), sheep (My boo LOVES animals), & great hospitality from John 👏🏾
A unique vineyard that combines art and wine. Reservations are required for wine tastings. Extremely friendly and well educated staff. Definitely worth a visit if traveling to California's wine country.
A truly special experience! From the art, to the wine, to the property and vistas, every aspect is exemplary. That said, it starts with the people. The team at Donum is fabulous and makes the visit all the more special. The Donum Estate is a must visit in the Napa Valley.
One of the best tasting experiences, ever. Those words are thrown around a lot these days but I say them here without hyperbole, for this place is truly just that - an experience. The wines (Pinot and Chardonnay) are exceptional, finely crafted and elegant. But the grounds, the art, the sheer thought that went into everything... it must be (you guessed it) experienced.
I feel bad writing this review because this place is such a hidden gem in the Carneros hills, and it feels like such a secret that is too precious to share with others!
The wine and service here are top notch. Spendy, yes, but nothing compared to far inferior wines of the Napa Valley area that fetch higher price tags. Every tasting experience I have had here has felt personalized and incredibly special.
And the art collection, it’s truly a marvel. Come for the wine, stay for the art, or come for the art, stay for the wine.
The BEST overall experience. Touring the vineyard, tasting the grapes, excellent wines, and the views. Ivan was a terrific host. We will definitely be back again.
We stopped in for a few glasses before dinner. The chill, relaxed setting was perfect for a cool October night. Recommended to us by the El Pueblo Inn, itâs dog friendly, has a wonderful staff and some great wines.
I cannot begin to describe how wonderful it was staying at Sonoma Bungalows. I went to Napa/Sonoma to celebrate my birthday in September and my bestie came along, we had the best girls trip! We stayed in the studio unit and it was perfect for us. Loc
First time there and we really enjoyed it. Wonderful and homey rooms/suites. Outdoor areas are very inviting. Very close and convenient to the Square. Marcie was an excellent host!
Come for the coffee, stay for the good vibes! The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating and you can tell they enjoy their work environment. The drive thru moves fast and if you want to stay a while, there are tables outside.
As someone from New York, I have a high standard when it comes to bagels and I have to say Homegrown Bagels impressed me with their lox special on everything bagel. Itâs not quite a NY bagel but pretty darn good and the best Iâve had in Californi
Elisa is such a great hostess! Our group rented three rooms this past week, and none of us had any complaints, because we totally enjoyed it! this location is just incredible, and the town of Sonoma is so charming. You are scheduled half of a block o
Another great evening at Cafe La Haye; this time for my daughter's birthday. It is so nice to see the familiar faces of the staff and folks that seem to be locals.
All of the specials sounded tempting, as did the menu items. I had the ahi tuna tarta
Do yourself a favor and stop here if you are in the area or driving through Sonoma. The food and drinks are fantastic! The pozole rojo and pozole verde were delicious â not something you can find in many places! I highly recommend any cocktail with
Great food and our service was good also! Loved the vintage salt and pepper shakers! I wanted to buy mine from the table! Chicken fried steak and my veggies scramble was delicious ð
