Imagery Estate Winery

Great outdoor space. Love that I can come here as a Benziger member. Wonderful staff and outdoor area. The little homemade charcuterie boards are delightful!

We had the absolutely best tasting experience with Dori. After starting with the white the tasting lineup called for, she asked if we preferred red, white, or a mix and and adjusted accordingly to all red. Every wine was delicious, but especially the 2018 Merlot (my girlfriends favorite) and the 2019 Grenache (my favorite). We left with two bottles the day of and have ordered six more since. Dont pass this one up! You wont regret it.

A MUST VISIT IN SONOMA! No pictures of the wine unfortunately but we went when they did the Valentine pairing with the chocolate. I ended up buying the red chocolate! So delicious!

You'll be seeing images of happiness swirling around in your head after visiting Imagery Estate Winery. Located along the Sonoma Highway on the outskirts of Glen Ellen, California, Imagery Estate Winery is the sister winery of the noteworthy Benziger Family Winery, which is on the opposite side of central Glen Ellen. So dominant the Benziger Family is in the region that Jamie Benziger is Imagery Estate's chief winemaker, keeping things all in the family. What sets Imagery Estate Winery apart from so many of their local neighbors and no doubt friendly competitors is that this winery also serves as a major art gallery showing off creative paintings talents artists known around the world. Who doesn't want to take in a little art with a glass of wine? I have had the opportunity to come to Imagery Estate Winery a couple times in the past, enjoying their vast grounds, which is beautifully landscaped thanks to the amount of lush trees and shrubbery and the fact that they have one of the largest open lawn areas in the region that makes it the perfect place for picnics and even playing bocce ball.What brought me here on my most recent visit to the area was the fact that a friend made reservations at another winery for a visit, and they suggested we make a stop here at Imagery Estate Winery, as she was a member and had to pick up her regular shipment of wine. Of course, I was willing to tag along especially since we got a few pours from their Bar Tasting menu. Upon entry to their tasting room, one will instantly notice all of the lovely natural light peering in thanks to all of the windows on all four sides of the building. Once we approached their tasting counter, our tasting room associate instantly poured us a glass of their 2019 Brut Rosé. With flavors of strawberries, white peaches and even rose petals, this delightful wine is crafted using the famous "Methode Champenoise" process and leaves a refreshing finish on your mouth thanks to the extra addition of Chardonnay in every bottle. For our second pour, we received their 2021 Wow Oui (get it? wow-wee?), which Imagery Estate considers their trademark porch pounder, as it was sourced from the winery's Upper Ridge Vineyard, this wine is a refreshing blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat Canelli, and had flavors of pink lemonade and grapefruit, which is probably why I liked it so much. For our third and final pour, we enjoyed their 2019 Sangiovese, which was a nice velvety red wine thanks to the blend of red cherries and spices.We had such a wonderful time at Imagery Estate Winery that the fact that the weather was so dreary outside made no difference as their tasting room had a lovely Club member lounge that we could sit in for a spell and gather our thoughts and equilibrium. Taking in the artwork, I began to realize that each and every one of their wine bottles has custom made artwork on their labels, which makes a wine purchase all the more valuable. Since I am a red wine lover, I opted to purchase a bottle of their multi-award winning 2018 Estate Merlot, of which the member price was a very reasonable 48 dollars. Once opened, this Merlot had a wonderful balance of tannins and acidity with every sip and paired lovely with my latest dinner of steak and potatoes. Any of the wines at Imagery Estate Winery pairs well with any meal, as the bottles alone are serious conversation starters for any family meal. At Imagery Estate Winery they are providing fans with the perfectly balanced wines in a sumptuous natural setting. It just goes to show you should never judge a book by its cover and at Imagery Estate Wines, you'll have plenty of images to stimulate your vision and plenty of wines to stimulate your taste buds.
