A bit of the bubbly will surely tickle your fancy at Scharffenberger Winery. Owned by the great Champagne house Roederer Estates, this small, friendly operation is located in the bucolic Anderson Valley just outside of the town of Philo.

Scharffenberger is a great little spot, with their farmhouse tasting room and comfortable picnic areas. They have an attentive tasting room staff serving up sparkling wine for visitors. Their méthode champenoise sparkling wine is made from the traditional grapes of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The bright and airy tasting room has unique handcrafted pottery for sale and a few wine-related gift items. A rotating artist series adorns the walls with local artwork and photography. The winery has juice, crayons, and a small table for kids to keep them occupied while their parents taste.

The original owner sold the winery some years back and has had similar success making Scharffen Berger Chocolate.
