visitor & COVID faqs
Can we still visit taste there without a reservation? What if I'm a member?
Not right now, unfortunately. All guests must make a reservation prior to visiting Larson.
Are there any new policies and procedures surrounding the pandemic?
Yes, thanks for thinking of that! We'll be asking that you help us out by participating in the following when visiting the winery:
Do you have lawn games?
At this time we're not offering our usual bocce and cornhole/bean bags games since the game equipment is communal and we're trying our best to reduce the spread of germs and cut down on contact between guests.
Can I bring my kids?
Yes! This is a family-friendly winery if ever there was one! However, with current efforts to keep a social distance from other parties and slow the spread of germs, we ask that all children stay at the table with their adults or with an adult at all time when playing in the pasture.
As a busy working winery with the tasting room adjacent to our production facilities, we ask that parents please have their children within their view at all time. Additionally, kids (and parents) must wear shoes at all times.
Please note no scooters, bikes, roller skates or wheeled ride-on toys are allowed at the winery.
Can I bring my dogs?
We like dogs so much we named some our wines after them. You’re welcome to bring your dogs with you, but they must be on a leash at all times. We ask that you use judgement as an owner as to if your pup is up for the winery. There are often dozens of other guest dogs, lots of people, and many kiddos here, so it can be quite overwhelming if your pup isn't socialized.
Our three resident winery dogs, Rosko, Louie, and Ollie are also here to greet you. They might even share their toys with you!
Do you have food for sale?
We have a deli case that has selection of light bites that pair well with our wines – crackers, cheeses, salamis, chips, etc. In addition, we have a wide range of delicious chocolate sweets from local chocolate company Annette’s. We’d say they’re great to take home with our wines, but they never make it there without us eating them first!
How does the picnic thing work?
You are welcome to bring you own picnics or outside food! Sonoma has lots of great deli and takeout options locally that pair well with an afternoon at Larson Family Winery.

Are there any new policies and procedures surrounding the pandemic?
Yes, thanks for thinking of that! We'll be asking that you help us out by participating in the following when visiting the winery:
- Larson Family Winery will be open by reservation only.
- Parties are limited to 6 or less by Sonoma County in order to avoid multiple households congregating and spreading COVID-19. Please don't come with or collect in large groups. We highly discourage multiple reservations to accommodate any more than a 6 person household. We will not honor requests to seat tables together.
- We will only be offering wine by-the-bottle at picnic tables, limited tastings are available by appointment at the bar. Minimum purchase is one bottle for every two adult guests.
- We ask that you wear a mask at all times that you are at the winery and not seated at your table. Our team members will be wearing them for your safety.
- We welcome you to bring your dogs (leash required) and children (leash optional), and ask that both stay at your table/with an adult at all times.
- Please respect social distancing. We will have markers helping you to say 6 feet or “Three Labs Apart"
- We will not be offering communal lawn games like bocce ball or bean bags at this time.
- Please wash and sanitize hands while here – touch-free hand sanitizer dispensers are available for your use.
- Due to limited availability and capacity restrictions, we cannot accommodate requests to extend reservations or add back to back reservations. Moving pre-assigned tables is also something we cannot accommodate.
- Please do bring your own water and water bottles, since community water fountains will not be accessible.We do have prepackaged deli items, juice, sparkling and still water for purchase.
- Do not enter the winery if you are or have been experiencing COVID-19 symptoms – cough, fever, shortness of breath.
