About the Winery
Toje (say TOI-yuh) takes its name from a Mosel Valley dialect word for rootstock. Johannes, who grew up on a small family winery in Germany's Mosel Valley, came to Sonoma for a harvest in 2009 and met Jenny, a local who worked at the same winery; they married in 2013. Their first wine came in 2018, Sauvignon Blanc from the young vineyard at Sonoma Valley High School, which they helped students and the FFA tend. Their friend Patrick later joined them as a partner.
The wines come from a handful of single vineyards: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Ed Grossi's Sweet Lane Vineyard in the Petaluma Gap, Sauvignon Blanc from the Leveroni family's vineyard southwest of Sonoma, and Riesling from the historic Cole Ranch in Mendocino County. Fermentations are with native yeasts, the wines age in small French oak barrels, and many are bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Toje has no tasting room in the usual sense. The Toje Table is a private, seated visit in the wine caves just south of the town of Sonoma, hosted by Jenny, Johannes or Patrick, with the current releases poured in full and a seasonal board for the time of day. It runs at its own pace, usually 90 minutes to two hours, and feels more like time at a friend's table than a tasting.

Carneros Resort and Spa, among the vineyards on the Carneros Highway, and MacArthur Place, a few blocks south of the plaza, are each about 20 minutes from Toje. We start early so the cave visit can run at its own pace. The day below fits a six-hour tour, and extra time can be added by the hour.

The Toje Table, a private seated visit in the caves with a seasonal board, about 90 minutes.

About 20 minutes away. A Carneros Pinot Noir pioneer on the Napa side, founded in 1981 by Dick Ward and David Graves. The Garden Tasting, four current releases and one Cellarbook Pinot Noir poured outdoors in the English gardens, is $65, about 75 minutes, for 6 guests or fewer, with a walk through the working winery and cellar when possible. By appointment only, with tastings starting on the hour and half hour from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
1:20 · Lunch at Boon Fly Café
About 5 minutes away. A roadhouse in a red barn on the Carneros Highway, named for a Carneros pioneer and known for its donuts and fried chicken. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.; reservations are for dinner only, so lunch is walk-in. Prefer a picnic? We can arrange a catered picnic at a winery that allows one; the cost is quoted when you book.

The Terrace Tasting of five estate Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, with 270-degree views over the vineyards, is $75; on Fridays at 10:30 a.m., Falconry in the Garden pairs the wines with hawks, owls and falcons ($95). Reservations required, 21 and over; open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
3:45 · Back to your hotel
Back at Carneros Resort and Spa by 4:05 p.m., or in Sonoma by 4:20 p.m.
Three wineries is the right pace for a day of serious tasting. The Toje visit often runs close to two hours, so this day starts at 9:40 and ends a little after 4.
About $140 per person in tasting fees for Saintsbury and Bouchaine, paid directly to each winery; the Toje fee is to be verified upon reservation.
Every tour is custom. This day is a starting point: your chauffeur will shape it around what matters to you, and we plan multi-day tours for guests who want to see more of wine country.
