Book your event at our family’s Downtown Sonoma Tasting Room, housed in a lovely 1940’s craftsman-style building with a large, shaded garden patio perfect for relaxed, but intimate, outdoor get-togethers. We are just steps away from the famous historical plaza, with its large green space, shops, restaurants, hotels and historical attractions.

Use the garden patio for a family mixer, company reception or a casual wine tasting for groups of various sizes. We can set up our Cypress Bar for a dining experience, light up the fire pit for ambiance, adjust the available patio seating to accommodate your group and set up our outdoor wine tasting bar or Tap Room for your use. During the late Fall and Winter months, we install a tent above the garden patio for a comfortable outdoor experience (available only on a seasonal basis).

Shaded Outdoor Garden Patio – Host your private event after tasting room hours on the shaded garden patio set back from the tasting room entrance. The intimite space can accommodate groups for mixers, company receptions or meet-ups. Make use of the Tap Room bar for our family’s rotating selection of beers, or the outdoor wine tasting bar to sample our award-winning wines. Make use of our Cypress Bar for multi-level arrangements of food, such as a buffet or grazing board.

Cypress Bar – Our custom-built bar height table circles around an 80-foot-tall Himalayan Cypress tree offering shade and a uniquely intimate setting for up to 20 seated guests. The bar-height style (taller than standard chairs) offers either a formal al fresco dining experience or we can add corner-shelving for a multi-level arrangement of trays of food, such as a buffet or grazing board.

Nestled among the Roche family’s estate vineyards and located in the renowned Carneros appellation in southern Sonoma Valley just 40 minutes from San Francisco, the family’s Sonoma winery and grounds offer the perfect atmosphere for both relaxed, private tastings to unforgettable life celebrations! Very large groups to small, intimate gatherings can be hosted simultaneously at this state-of-the-art winery due to its numerous flexible spaces and offerings.

The Barrel Room & Tank Room – For larger wine gatherings, our Barrel Room or Tank Room are ideal. They showcase our 30,000 case production facility and offer abundant space for our club members and guests to create a venue appointed and decorated as they desire.

Tasting Room – Our Sonoma Valley winery Tasting Room offers perfect views of the adjoining Tipperary Vineyard through its floor-to-ceiling windows and accordion glass doors and is the ideal indoor/outdoor wine country space.

Garden & Vineyard Spaces – Please contact us regarding options to host your wine gathering outdoors.

If you or your client seek additional event options or one-of-a-kind venues, we would be happy to develop a customized proposal. Please contact us for information regarding additional Roche Winery venues or additional possibilities how our family might host your next event.
