Home · Sonoma County wineries · Cline Cellars
Cline feels more like a relaxed Sonoma ranch outing than a formal wine-estate visit. The property is designed for visitors to spend time outdoors, with gardens, lawns, ponds and picnic spaces surrounding the tasting areas. Compared with wineries where guests remain seated indoors for an hour, Cline gives families and groups more flexibility to spread out and enjoy the property.
Wine tasting can still be the centerpiece. Visitors can choose a seated outdoor tasting, while larger parties can reserve dedicated group experiences. But Cline also makes it easy to skip a conventional flight entirely: the Pondside Picnic allows guests to reserve a table near the spring-fed ponds, buy bottles of Cline wine and add charcuterie, cheese or a prepared picnic basket—or bring their own picnic food.
Private garden cabanas provide another relaxed option for small groups, and visitors can explore portions of the property on foot rather than remaining in one hospitality area. Overall, Cline is particularly attractive to families, groups of friends and visitors looking for a less formal break between highly structured tastings. The experience is more about enjoying Sonoma wine country at an easy pace than receiving an intensive lesson in winemaking.
