Overview
It's not often that you can visit a winery in the heart of a city! Berkeley has been home to what we call 'urban wineries' for almost 20 years. Although these producers don't own any vineyards of their own, they work directly with grape growers from all around northern California.
It is important to note that I am very selective about my choice of wines and wineries. With thousands of wineries in the state, many small, fine wine oriented producers are overlooked by large scale industrial operations. I like to champion true artisans and support small businesses!

Donkey & Goat Winery
Learn how to appreciate the nuances of wine while we talk farming, vintage variation, and traditional winemaking practices at Berkeley’s renowned urban wineries. No topic is off limits and no question too basic! My goal is to introduce you to delicious, locally made wines and provide you with the lexicon needed to discuss wine on your own terms- hopefully you'll even become comfortable enough to hold a conversation with a restaurant sommelier! We’ll spend about an hour at each winery tasting through a flight of their wines, and snacks are included! (vegetarians are welcome)
Only six guests per tour to allow for an intimate and personalized experience. All wineries we visit are open air and/or have great ventilation, and are dog friendly! The evenings in Berkeley can get chilly, so please bring a jacket if you are sensitive to the cold.
If you don't see the day or time that fits your schedule, feel free to message me so we can find something that works for you!
