Nice experience for wine pick up event; pleasant atmosphere; limited number of patrons; light snacks provided and effortless pick up ( no waiting)…

I would give this experience 3.5 stars.
Overall, the wine tasting was excellent. Scott was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience enjoyable.
Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the tasting. We had reserved the Reserve Experience ($115 per person), but were mistakenly given the Taste of Three Sticks Experience ($85). We had paid in advance and didn’t realize the mix-up until the tasting was almost over.
The staff apologized, but the manager’s comment that we had been charged for the cheaper tasting missed the point. The issue wasn’t the price; it was that we didn’t receive the experience we had specifically booked. Similarly, after the mistake was discovered, Scott mentioned that we had at least tried some of the Reserve wines. While appreciated, that also missed the main concern.
Mistakes happen, but I hope similar situations are handled with greater attention and a stronger focus on making things right for the guest.

We had a great experience at The Adobe, with Kathy as our lovely guide. We sampled some truly delicious wine, had a wonderful recommendation for where we wanted to eat lunch; had a wonderful experience walking to Vella cheese to buy some delicious cheese we had sampled at Three Sticks and then had a perfect recommendation to another great winery. It was a beautiful setting, delicious wine and so much knowledge. The Adobe has been crafted and decorated so well- by Ken Fulk- there is no way one could not enjoy their time at Three Sticks. I am so pleased to have been introduced.

Wonderful experience by out host Kathy! I’m a wine educator in Sonoma and I came to try their iconic Gap’s Crown wines and they were delicious. Very cool winery as well, a must see while in Sonoma.
Victoria. Quiet Sonoma Insider
Three Sticks begins with weight – the 1842 Vallejo-Casteñada Adobe, built by Salvador Vallejo, still standing just off the Plaza, as if quietly reminding newer buildings who arrived first.
Inside, the tone shifts. The interiors by Ken Fulk lean into a composed abundance – layered antiques, textured fabrics, and details that feel collected over time rather than arranged all at once. Turtle shells on the wall. Deep-set tiles with a past life, more admired than questioned. It walks a careful line between curation and declaration, and manages to stay just on the right side of both. Quietly extravagant, but self-aware.
The tasting itself is structured and thoughtful, centred on estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, each with a clear sense of place. The name “Three Sticks” officially refers to vineyard stakes – the quiet architecture of growing vines – though, as one story goes, it may also nod to owner Bill Price, a “III,” whose three strokes at the end of a name became something worth keeping.
Linda guides the experience with confidence and clear depth of knowledge – attentive, engaging, and generous with insight into both the wines and the property, allowing the visit to unfold with a natural, unforced rhythm.
It’s not a casual stop. It’s a composed experience – part history, part theatre, and just indulgent enough to remind you that Sonoma still knows how to make an impression without trying too hard.
Arranged through North Bay Wine Tours, the visit arrives with the right sense of occasion. Tastings at Three Sticks Wines are by appointment – less “let’s just stop by” and more “we had a plan, and it was a good one.”
