I am absolutely flabbergasted with the entire Donum Estate experience - easily one of the best afternoons imaginable. I cannot wait to return - year after year, season after season. And a very special shoutout to our tour guide/docent/expert Mick. He made an extraordinary experience **extra*** extraordinary. Thank you again, Donum Estate!

One of the best wineries experiences I ever had. Every single time my husband and I visit it is a whole new experience, there is something different, new sculptures, the gardens, and the wines. This has to be in your bucket list. And BTW, Nicki is the best host 🤩

Such a unique and beautiful experience. Really interesting art all around the property.

Amazing service and overall experience! Nothing like this. Truly amazing - bring coverage! Lots of open sky when you’re exploring.

Beautiful Pinots. Smooth, versatile and delicious. This is our second tasting and it can not get any better. The vineyard was beautiful and consists 22 different sculpture artists from around the world. Wish we had more time to see all of them. Well since we became members we will be back next year. Make sure you arrive early for your tasting. You can easily spend a couple hours here enjoy the wine and this gorgeous vineyard.

Loved visiting this winery! Great wine but even better art… a walking tour is a must-do. They recently got a Fnnch piece, probably my favorite art on the property, though there is a lot of great stuff and supposedly a huge new installation is coming soon. Don’t miss the “palm tree” in the parking lot.

Beautiful location, landscaping and art installations. The wine was great, we did a walking tour and had an awesome experience. 10/10. Book in advance.

One of the best tasting experiences, ever. Those words are thrown around a lot these days but I say them here without hyperbole, for this place is truly just that - an experience. The wines (Pinot and Chardonnay) are exceptional, finely crafted and elegant. But the grounds, the art, the sheer thought that went into everything... it must be (you guessed it) experienced.

Sandy was a wonderful host. She explained everything, from the history of the property to the winemaking, and how Pinot Noir and Chardonnay thrive thanks to the cool maritime influence. She also introduced us to the art and sculptures on the estate, which were far more impressive than we imagined. The whole property felt like an outdoor museum, with an immersive blend of nature, wine, and creativity. We highly recommend this vineyard if you’re looking for a memorable, enriching experience that truly captures the spirit of Carneros wine culture.

Wonderful property with lots of interesting art sculptures dotting the vineyards. Came for the Carneros Experience for wine tasting, which is $100 per person. We were allowed to explore the property at our leisure after the tasting was over, which was pretty nice as well.

As more of an art rather than drinks lover, this place is perfect for me to go out to in sonoma. We booked the lounge wine tasting with self directed art touring after, everything was incredible. Shoutout to the concrete, non buttery chardonnay we were poured - it was super mineral-y and light to drink. Walking around the property was really fun, our cameras were really well fed with the various diverse east asian art pieces featured and loved the elevation as well of the property.

We were welcomed with a fantastic rosé as we walked in the door. Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable about all of the art we got to see and experience. They have some really incredible stuff! We loved strolling through the garden, saying hi to the donkeys and sheep, and of course our tasting. The tasting featured super cool dishes that paired exquisitely with each wine. Simply the best! If you love art, amazing quality wine, and an almost spa like atmosphere definitely check this place out!🤩. Ps we loved our little parting gift of lavender

Peggy King

Fantastic experience- excellent lunch and tasting, made even more memorable by a fabulous tour of the sculptures and art! Absolutely gorgeous day.

Walking through the estate, you don’t just see vines — you see art, gardens, sculptures, the vineyard landscape. The combining of wine + art + land feels intentional and elevates the experience. It’s not just about tasting wines, but about being somewhere curated.

Ashley Rombach

Wow, what an experience! Such a unique combination of wine, food, and art. It was one of our first wine tours of the trip and it ended up being our favorite! The property & art is so breathtaking and unique. All your senses are in heaven - sight, taste, smell and sound! Highly recommend! Thank you, Rachel, for such a memorable visit. We will be back! 🩶

I had an absolutely incredible wine tasting experience here. This place feels like a remarkable art gallery in addition to being a winery. The staff provided personal explanations of the stunning designer artworks, which enhanced the experience. We enjoyed wine paired with exquisite dishes prepared by a Michelin chef. After the wine tasting, they even gave us gifts of fragrance and spray. It was an exceptionally fun and memorable experience!

A very memorable experience that you will not forget. It is a special place. And the wines are good, too 😉

I highly recommend the Carneros experience for anyone who likes art and nature and is already thinking about coming here for wine tasting. Learning the history and meaning behind the sculptures from our guide was amazing, and made even better by drinking excellent wines on the walking tour. We visited in mid October and did the 3:30pm tour, and the light was magical that time of year & day. Our tour had 10 people in it so it felt small and we learned a lot. This place seems to book far in advance, even off season, but we got the time we wanted for booking about a month in advance for 2 people. The wine was great, especially the chardonnay, which wasn't too oaky or buttery but just in the middle and had a nice tropical flavor to it.

Donum Estate is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The views are absolutely astonishing! Paired with incredible art installations throughout the estate, it felt like walking through a dream. Our tour with Alex was amazing; she was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. Nikki was also fantastic and brought so much insight to the experience! They both exemplified teamwork and made us feel so welcomed. Their passion for what they do truly shows. We left with unforgettable memories and are already planning our next visit! Donum Estate is truly a one-of-a-kind experience

★★★★☆ Donum Estate is a stunning mix of vineyard views and museum-level sculpture, and the setting alone feels special. Our host was genuinely welcoming and knew the wines inside and out. The tasting leaned Pinot Noir with a clean, vibrant Chardonnay, and one single-vineyard Pinot really stood out for its silky texture and long finish. We added the art tour and it made the visit feel richer, with plenty of photo-worthy moments. The hilltop pavilion is an easy place to lose track of time. It’s not quite five stars for me because the experience is pricey and the schedule felt a little structured, which left less time to wander. It can be breezy, so bring a layer. Still, Donum delivers a polished, memorable visit. Book the art tour, arrive a bit early, and you’ll likely leave with a few new favorite wines and plans to return.
