Equality Vines Tasting Room - Guerneville, California

Pam R. S. H.

My husband and I were happy to finally visit this tasting room after trying their wine at Minoqua Brewing Company (in Madison WI). Matt was behind the bar (lucky for us) and shared his expertise with us. Loved viewing the art gallery that is connected. Then got to meet a few more EV team members and found out a great group of humans make this tasting room function so well!

What an amazing place. Customer service was off the charts as well as the wine that was selected and served. Every wine bottle has a message about equality (wink, wink) and the atmosphere is as good as the wine. Got to meet the owner Jim, and he is a great person with a great spirit to match. My wife and I had a great experience, and was able to her Jim's life story as well which was very powerful. Was only in town with our Frederick Wine Club for 5 days, but made it a point to visit twice during our stay. Thank you Jim for being so kind and having us at your establishment.

Wow. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have visited Equality Vines. I visited with my mom for a wine tasting and we were pleasantly surprised at how great of a time we had.

Upon entering the building, my mom and I were greeted by Ben. I was immediately blown away with the interior decor; every corner is filled with very unique and eye-catching art pieces (courtesy of the art gallery next door). Ben gave us time to admire all of the art before we proceeded with our tasting, and what a tasting it was! I love how each of the wines had a story, and Ben told them beautifully (my mom cried multiple times). We enjoyed each of the wines we tasted, but our favorite was the "Get Your Own Damn Coffee" Chardonnay. A great wine with an even better name.

I love everything that Equality Vines represents, I've never known wine to be so inspirational/meaningful and I can't wait to return and buy more wine (two bottles was definitely not enough). Thank you Ben for the amazing story-telling and amazing personality. Thank you Matt for allowing me to reschedule my tasting. Such a great experience!!!

Bestie and I headed in for a wine tasting and was blown away by the knowledge and assistance from Ben! I learned so much about how and who Equality supports along with their history. Had such a great time, tasted delicious wines and purchased the ones I liked. Can't wait to enjoy them. Huge thanks to Ben for making a fun (and delicious) afternoon! Please get to Equality and support them!

We randomly popped in and had the best time! The stories behind Equality Vines are so inspiring and the wines are all locally made by amazing winemakers.

I personally fell in love with the “Get your own damn coffee” Chardonnay.

Also, Matt’s aunt’s story as a pioneer in women in broadcast television is so powerful 🥰

First time back in many years. We came because of emails I've been receiving. Glad to see many upgrades. Could not have asked for a better seat for the Christmas parade in Guerneville. The wine was delicious, as ever. Nice to see Love Wins Micro Brew (pineapple mango sour) quite delicious, took some home. The staff were efficient, friendly and fun. This is a wonderful location in the heart of downtown right on the plaza. Enjoy some great wine that also serves a better cause.

This is a great wine bar and store with an incredible selection of wines and supporting a number of local causes and communities. You feel very welcomed there and having access to the art gallery next door provides for a very relaxed atmosphere.
