Our team is an extension of an extraordinary family; one that eats, drinks, and breathes a lifelong passion for wine. That passion is distinct in every bottle of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel we produce from the Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast and Sonoma Mountain. Our fathers, Benjamin Dewane and Novian Anderson, taught us to be the best at what we do, and always produce something we can be proud of. Nothing else will suffice, period.Here in the Russian River Valley, we are all part of a close-knit community that finds joy in purpose. We’re at our happiest during harvest, when friends join us on the sorting line and the winery and vineyards are buzzing with activity and camaraderie.After years of humble, hard work, we believe that we are creating something truly beautiful that draws people together.For large groups of seven or more please contact the the Benovia Winery Visitor Center at 707-921-1040. We are sorry, we are unable to accommodate outside food or picnicking.
The property itself is beautiful and the Visitor Center tasting room (we were on the lower level) was warm and welcoming. There were four of us in a comfy seating area and there was a tasting going on 10' away at the large table but you'd never know it as the room layout was such that you still felt you were in a private setting. David Hewitt was a gracious and knowledgable host.
This was a lovely tasting experience with delicious wines
We had 2 tastings. Hostess was great and knowlegable. Great winery if you like Chardonnays and Pino Noirs.
Beautiful setting
Benovia offers a gorgeous setting for a wine tasting over looking/surrounded by vineyards. The tasting room is very attractive with a patio outside. Wines are all absolutely delicious and reasonably priced if you want to order any of them.
It was great. It was relaxing and the wine was excellent
Please see personal note below.
Greeted immediately and escorted to our tasting area. Heard a bit about the property and the wines. Nice intro.
Benovia is one of the best producers of Pinot Noir in Sonoma County. Their wines, hospitality and venue are awesome. Highly recommended.
I have been taking wine tour clients to Benovia for at least 6 years. Beautiful property, fantastic wines, and a great staff.
Outstanding visit. Wonderful wines expertly presented by our host David. We stayed 3 hours, never felt rushed and the remodeled patio overlooking the vineyard is perfect.
Very nice experience. Wine was excellent. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed walking the grounds. Overall wonderful experience.
The wines we tasted were amazing but we left with a bad impression due to the host.
James was a pourer and resource extraordinaire !!! After 5 minutes with him and a few sips of their fabulous wine we knew we had to members !! They are very lucky to have him as his exuberance and knowledge and joy shows! Loved the tasting we will be back!
Gail was knowledgeable about all the wines and the history of the winery. One of the better tour directors I have encountered. Mature and gracious.
We had a great experience at Benovia and loved it!
Nice, accommodating lounge type of atmosphere.
Great wines and staff. Very nice tasting room.
Was recommended by someone at another winery and did not disappoint.
Couldn't have been better. The facility was spotless and classy, yet comfortable. The setting was peaceful, quiet and intimate with beautiful views. The wines were excellent. Our tasting guide was friendly and highly knowledgeable.
Had a lovely time at Benovia! Great views! Great wine! Great hospitality! Strongly recommend...
Excellent experience
Lovely visit. Great Host David. Very knowledgeable
The property was clean and neat, and the staff were generous and welcoming. I would come again.
We had a great experience at Benovia! Dave welcomed my family and I and it really felt like we were in someone's cozy, beautiful home. We enjoyed the delicious wine tastings and the view of the vineyards. Dave went out of his way to suggest great restaurants and chat about the area. We will definitely recommend this winery to family and friends!
Truly the number one tasting experience in Sonoma County for lovers of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
Great wine tasting, beautiful tasting room knowledgeable people.
This was my first experience at Benovia and it was definitely worth it! I will definitely return.
Mike was friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to explain the winery's operation.
Loved our visit, Michael was both informative and fun. Entire group had a great time and learned new things. I loved all the wines and atmosphere.
Just a great visit. Our host, Michael, was excellent. Helpful. Knowledgeable. Funny. The wines are simply the best.
The entire experience was weird. They seem to be set up primarily to serve customers who purchase wine online. The wines were excellent, but the experience was poor. The people who work in the tasting room do not understand customer service. All 5 people in my party bought wine but were disappointed in the experience and would not return. Also, we never received receipts for our purchases.
We arrived early and had the area downstairs mostly to ourselves. We were able to sit by the fire and enjoy the view while we tasted. We visited with our friends Rudy and Kathleen who live locally and are also Concierage Club members. Our hostess was very helpful and contributed to our good time.

We enjoyed our tasting on the patio. Michael was very helpful and knowledgeable.
wonderful experience with knowledgeable staff and excellent wine
Nice tasting. Great hospitality. Nice wines. Great experience. Unique and personal.
Fantastic wines with a nice intimate tasting experience.
We ended our Sunday with a stop at Benovia, and had a fabulous tasting, by ourselves with a wonderful pourer. He gave us so much background on the wines and winery, helped us understand what we were tasting, and threw in some surprise tastes. We love Benovia. We first found Benovia's wine at Backyard in Forestville.
The ambiance was so relaxing. The staff was warm and friendly. The wine selections were delicious.
