deLorimier Winery

My husband and I had a great experience sampling wines here. The wines were fantastic, the scenery is gorgeous, and our pourer Michael was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about their wines. He took the time to talk to us about each one, and was really informative while still being easy going and personable. I highly recommend visiting this winery and doing a tasting with Michael!

Sally was our hostess for the wine tasting. She was very friendly and funny. She offered tastings from any of the 20 bottles that were open. It is a little staggering when there are eight Cabernet Sauvignons from which to choose.
Purchased Ramazzotti Vineyards 2012 Cab Franc and the Warm Springs Ranch 2011 Cabernet Sauv. Price points on these two were very good for the quality.
Would recommend a visit if you happen to be on your way to Napa from Geyserville or vice versa.

Excellent winery! Great choice of white wines, probably whites are my favorite here. Cabernet Sauvignon is very good. Several years ago I bought there good Gewurtztraminer, although haven’t seen it last time. C Sauvignon saved the situation though! ;) Very great place for the picnic, good area, nice patio view.

We were the only ones here on a Thursday afternoon when we were there. I liked the white wines here. The lady was nice who helped us. Cute decorations and theres seating outside. Too bad it was rainy when we went.

Winery part of the Wine Passport and so happy that it was! The place is very pretty and the grounds are also very pretty.
The customer service there is great. They were very nice, helpful, and attentive.
The wine is pretty good as well.
Would love to come back for more.

Carrie was new and was wonderful! Enjoyed the wines and the company. Will definitely return!

Great wines, beautiful setting, warm and friendly staff.
Tastings are a great value, lots more wines to choose from than other wineries.
The wine clubs offer even better values.
Sally, our hostess, was gracious and helpful, she took the time to really understand our preferences and guide us to the best wines for us.
Sally made the whole experience from greeting to sale a genuine pleasure!!!

Excellent guest house, very sweet getaway for two couples or a family. Two nice master suites with an additional small bedroom and bath. All bathrooms are gorgeous. Nice big deck for lounging and dining. There are two other guest suites very close by, so if you want privacy, you might want to see if they’ll be occupied. Good wifi. No DVD player.

We recently stayed here and had a small wedding ceremony here and We have nothing but great things to say!
The Artisan suite was super cute, the views of the vineyard at sunrise and sunset are awesome!
The wedding went great! Isabella took care of EVERYTHING, I literally just had to show up! She was sweet, attentive, and went beyond the call of duty to make sure the ceremony was perfect! She even had someone patrol the parking lot so that we didn’t have cars in the background of our pictures! We really pleased with the staff and everyone who made our day so fun and so pretty!
The wines here are also really good — we joined their wine club and will be back to visit and stay at the suite again!

We stayed here on a trip to Sonoma and can’t wait to come back. The guest suite was perfect, including beautiful views of the sunset and vineyard.
We had a great tasting. Sally in the tasting room was so welcoming and knowledgeable about the wines she was pouring, the vineyard and winemaker. We can’t say enough good things about the people, wines and accommodations.

I have been to this tasting room several times in the last 10 years. Today was another awesome experience. Millis was attentive, knowledgeable and listened to our needs. Don’t miss this place. Go mid week and take the time to give these wine the time they deserve. If you are in a hurry, skip it.

deLorimier is a beautiful winery to visit. I also really enjoyed their wine. On the other hand, our host was mediocre. Still worth a visit.

Great grounds and great wine. Food was amazing with all the pairings. We were in a group setting and it was nice to sit with strangers, striking up conversation and meeting new people. I will say that the gal that was pouring during one tasting was a bit demanding when it came to her list. She was a bit adamant about sticking to it while the other person let you taste the list at your leisure. All in all it was a great experience and worth the amount paid.

Rude woman who turned us away right before they closed. Your hours are 10:00 — 5:00. Not 10:00 — 4:50. Won’t be back here.

The grounds are awesome. The outdoor area in the back has a small grass area, seating, tables, umbrellas, and bean bag toss!
The wine is also pretty good. We bought 2 bottles.

Great spot! Love the Alexander Valley! Great wines, spectacular grounds, friendly and knowledgable pourers! Had a great time!
We came in for our last stop on Wine Tourism Day. Got a free tasting and to sample their library Crazy Creek Cab Sauv. Tasty! I believe it’s normally $ 10 pp for a tasting.

Beautiful location in the Alexander Valley just east of Geyserville. The Gewürztraminer was my favorite white being aromatic and crisp not sweet. I also like several of their Zinfandels as they were lighter, fruity, not too jammy. The Primo/​Zin was like an Italian varietal more earthy and dry than the Zins. They also do a good job with Bordeaux varietals although I am a not a big fan of Cabernet based wines,

Such great wine and such amazing/​friendly service that we joined the wine club right there on the spot on our first visit. Nicely isolated winery, minimal traffic in Alexander Valley as compared to Sonoma or Napa. Every single wine we tasted was generously poured and was uniquely excellent in their own way. The fee was only $ 5 and they allowed us to tasted every wine option available. I will be back for sure to bring my friends and enjoy another visit with on the lovely grounds with some great folks.
When joining the club you do join up to the Wilson Group which owns 8 local wineries. Many of them have fun events and lodging options for a discount once you are in the club. There are lots of choices and all the tastings at every winery in the group are now free for my hubby and me plus two guests. It’s a great deal and we get 6 bottles of their divine wine every 6 months for a deal.
Don’t miss this fun stop in the Alexander Valley!

Another winery owned by the Wilson group. Join the wine club here and get privileges at all 8 wineries in the family.
Lots of vintages and wine varieties here. Something for everybody.
$ 5 tasting fee.
Shaded picnic area on the patio.
Dog friendly.

After visiting the Circus that is more often called the Francis Ford Coppola, it was nice to stop in at the deLorimier Winery for a little peace and quiet. It’s also a beautiful setting with lush vines surrounding the property and with a nice view into the hills.
Founded in 1986 by Al deLorimier, these Alexander Valley vineyards were planted and developed with an eye to producing world-​class «Bordeaux» wines including single vineyard designate Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and their signature Meritage (the hands down favourite in our wine tasting group). Ken and Diane Wilson became the new owners of deLorimier Winery in 2008.
The guy pouring the wine was a real hoot, both in terms of his casual but «listen up» wine education approach and his Boston Red Sox pedigree from Upstate New York roots. Later on we bought a couple bottles of wine and enjoyed sitting on the patio, relaxing, and just catching up. It was a gorgeous sunny (but not too hot day) and when Family Fellowship, wine, and scenery come together this way, life truly doesn’t get much better than this.
