The Vibe: 
Schug Carneros Estate Winery is a small farmhouse at the base of a Sonoma hillside. Surrounded by vineyards, Schug is nothing particularly spectacular from a visual standpoint but it is a quaint, friendly place with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc worth trying.
Known For: 
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sparkling Wine
Not good for: 
  • Event hosting.
  • People seeking winery tours.
  • Big groups. The tasting room is very small and a half dozen people make it feel crowded.
  • People looking for visually impressive wineries. While Schug is attractive, there are better places to visit if pretty gardens, amazing views, and cool architecture are your preference.
Particularly good if you are seeking: 
  • To taste good Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, or sparkling wine.
  • A place for a small, quiet, no frills picnic.
