This was our first wine tasting during COVID. We were happy that Larson Family Winery was fairly covid-safe: masks required, staff keeps their distance, tables are spaced apart, and wine flights are delivered all at once with a paper tasting guide.
The grounds are cute - probably 30 tables in a small courtyard surrounded by views of Sonoma and the Larson vines. The courtyard is dog friendly and we loved having the resident yellow lab come up and say hi.
The wine was served as a flight with a few sips in each glass. Admittedly, the servings are smaller than other wineries we've visited, but we appreciated it since we had to drive. The wine was delicious and we left with two bottles.
The food was served in boxes like a Safeway to-go counter. The water was served in bottles. I'm guessing this was for Covid - we'd definitely expect more (at least glasses for water and proper cutlery) if this weren't Covid.
The service was good - we were seated immediately for our 1pm reservation and we were checked on a few times. The wait staff did seem a little frazzled - for example, we asked to move to a different table but our request was forgotten. However, a small hiccup with our order (we ordered a tri-tip sandwich but they were out when we arrived) was resolved easily.
We paid $70 for 2 tastings (fair), $35 for a ham sandwich box (overpriced), and $20 for a charcuterie box (overpriced). We left with two bottles for $90: a Pinot Noir and a Three Lab Cab. The price was on the high side, but we still enjoyed our visit.
