   The reason for the poor rating is because there is no food served. It’s wine tasting & SO happy we did it with these lovely people. Truly intimate experience ‘ became winery members. Eli is an amazing host.

   Hi Marion! Thank you so much for coming to see us and for loving our wines. (and welcome to the wine family!) We've reached out to OpenTable to see if they could ever remove the Food category since we are a winery and not a restaurant, so some guests use the Food category to rate our wine when selecting a number 1-5. We hope they'll make the change soon, but in the meantime, enjoy your wines! Hope to see you again for our member Pickup Party in October if you're out west.

   Robert and Laura were great, super friendly, and very knowledgeable in the wines we tried. I highly recommend for a great date place and is something we’ll be doing again.

   Frankly unbelievably great wines. Do yourself a favor, and just go. Join, too. We took some friends to taste, and they joined the 12-bottle club. We’re increasing our membership as well. Maybe the biggest bang for the buck in all of wine country. Wow. Laura and Rob (and how interesting it is to talk to and ask questions of the winemaker) are consummate hosts. So much fun, and I learn something every time we go. Tremendous.

   A wonderful and intimate Sonoma winery to visit! It was such a pleasure to try the wines from Schermeister and hear from Robert and Laura themselves about their craft and their approach to their delicious wines. I learned a lot from their passion and knowledge about winemaking!

    Every wine we tried at Schermeister was a standout, but the rosé and Pinot were especially good. Rob Schermeister, the winemaker, was our host and it was great to learn about how he approaches winemaking (which is slightly different than many winemakers - much more focused on quality than quantity). Laura, Rob’s life and business partner, was a welcoming presence (and amazing artist), and their dog Eli was happy to show off his collection of tricks for us. I’ll definitely be back on my next trip to Sonoma!

    We absolutely loved our group wine tasting and could not have asked for a better experience. We were blown away by Rob and Laura's hospitality and the accommodations they made for us. Beautiful space and amazing wines! Plus, we all loved having Eli at our table - what a great dog! We all left with smiles on our faces and can't wait to visit again.

    Just lovely. It’s awesome that this husband and wife who run the winery pick the grapes and make the wine themselves. It was such a refreshing experience and so wonderfully different from large scale wineries that just don’t feel as inviting. Also, the dog! So cute. Would be back in a heartbeat!

    This summer we are visiting and supporting vegan wineries in Napa and Sonoma counties. Rob, Laura, and Eli (the dog) are the very friendly hosts at Schermeister Winery in Glen Ellen. They served us some of the most delicious and finely crafted wines we have ever tasted in an idyllic setting. Highly recommended!

    Pretty freak'n awesome. So quiet and the tasting was yummy. Bought three bottles that I picked up later in the day. That's when I had a great conversation with Laura, the wife owner. She's an amazing artist and there are sculptures available for sale, currently, from by another artist. Beautiful place.

    Had a wonderful wine tasting experience at Schermeister. Our group was specifically looking for small, intimate vineyards and the husband and wife team at Schermeister was exactly that! Their tasting room was located in a small, cozy plaza near a running creek where we were seated overlooking. Although there was no food served at their tasting room, there were two restaurants on the property that you could visit before or after your tasting, which worked out really great. The thoughtful approach to creating an overall relaxing ambience, the delicious wines, and the story of these young winemakers made our overall experience a lot of fun. Plus....they have a really cute dog (Eli) who likes to escort patrons to their tables, which was a bonus!

    Excellent wine tasting. Robert and Laura are premiere hosts and take the time to meet and engage each of their guests. Very good wine and even better ambiance at this small boutique winery. Highly recommended if you are in the area. There is no food option hence the 1 star. (Unfortunately the rating system won't allow you to just put N/A.)

    The Schermeister's were amazing. They were so hospitable and great to talk to. They answered all of our questions and added a personal touch to our tasting menu while celebrating our friends that got married last year, but we couldn't attend the wedding due to the pandemic. We would recommend them to anyone.

    My wife and I attended a wonderful wine tasting hosted by Robert and Laura Schermeister. So our food five-star rating in this review is really all about the wine. Robert is a passionate, gifted winemaker. Laura is intimately involved in the business and a true joy. My wife and I have been enjoying Robert’s wines for a number of years now. We are never disappointed and, if it is possible, they just keep getting better and better. If you are looking for the quintessential Sonoma Valley wine experience then you must try Schermeister. True owner-operators whose commitment to quality shines through each sip, glass, and bottle!

    This is great winery and we joined their wine club. We were intrigued by the idea of wild yeast and it was great. The outdoor seating was quiet and beautiful . If you like chardonnay and pinot noir check this winery out. My husband loved their viognier.

    A nice small winery with beautiful outside views. Due to their small size there was limits on how many bottles could be purchased. We had a great time and enjoyed talking to the couple who owns the winery.
