Before our trip, I read a review of this place that complained about Richard being less than hospitable. Are you kidding me? This guy was our favorite tasting host of all the wineries visited (and there were many) during our trip. He even sent a hand written note of thanks to our friends who grew up in the same town....

I told the server (Veronica? Victoria?) we weren't Chard fans and she asked us to try Teresa's (wife of owner) unoaked version. Couldn't believe how much I loved it - will be ordering more online.

The Pinot is fantastic and the setting is very nice, in the center of a vineyard, with an extensive outside patio. The owners have obviously invested heavily, with this Italian styled patio, which is a great place to have some bread, cheese and sip some very nice reds and whites. For the money, I don't think you can touch Balletto... More

Balletto is a "hidden" gem in the Russian River Valley. We saw a coupon for a free tasting in Wine Country This Week so decided to stop in (they also have a coupon on their website at http://www.ballettovineyards.com). Are we glad we did! The tasting room was quaint and comfortable and the staff were very friendly. Jayne was happy to... More

We were so glad we stopped here while in Sonoma. The tastings were great, with extras thrown in free, and the information was most helpful. Typical Sonoma hospitality but with extra fun, wine, and info. We bought more wine here too - great taste and fair pricing. We'll stop again next year!

The tasting fee is waived if you purchase some wine, but we also had a coupon from in the northern california winery weekly magazine -- pick one up first! Our server, Anna, was excellent. She explained everything, answered our questions, and served up 8 wines for us. She was NOT pushy for us to purchase anything and she also let... More

This an enjoyable winery tasting stop as the wines are good, the tasting fee is reasonable at $5/person and the staff is personable and knowledgeable. Recommend the pinot gris and the syrah.
