Sophie's Cellars 25179 California 116, Duncans Mills, CA 95430

"Sophie"s Cellar is a delightful place to visit. Lots of local wines to try, and a lovely proprietress named Alice who has owned the shop for about 6 years. It's a pretty spot to take a break and enjoy a glass of wine from one of the many wineries nearby. You can taste and then purchase wines to go. Alice is extremely knowledgeable about the wines and their producers. A definite must-see place if you find yourself near Duncan Mills (an adorable Russian River town with lots of fun shops)."

"A little slice of heaven right here! I like to visit once or twice a year when I am traveling and I can always find a few fantastic bottles to buy and bring home. Everything in her shop is so tasteful and I of course want to buy it all! Sitting outside is peaceful and inside is cozy with great conversation. This is a place where you can breathe deeply swirl and sip then head to the dramatic coast."

"How AMAZING this place can be!!! That’s just what I expected from the perfect wine tasting place! Rich tasting wines and organic fresh cheese! Very nice and friendly people! Alice, Kristina and Christine are just the nicest ladies who just made our day!"

"A charming wine shop with an extremely knowledgeable owner! Very nice selections of top quality wines with incredible pricing! The live music every other Saturday enhances our tasting experience!"

"Alice, the owner, is SO kind and helpful. We had a group of 6 of us and had the absolute best afternoon there. Alice hand creates these fantastic cheese boards, recommended the best wines, and is such a fun presence. Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon! So sad we dug into the wine and cheese too fast to take a picture, but the other review pictures definitely do it justice."
