Town Center Apartments wine lovers say that if you're looking for a glass of red or white, the atmosphere at Buon Vino can’t be beat. The tasting room is modeled after the ones owner Dan saw during an extended stay in Florence, and it’s probably different from anything else you’ll find in California. You can taste wines here with no obligation to buy a bottle — though if you do, you can return the bottle to have it refilled later.

Regulars say the wines sold at Buon Vino are all fantastic. Popular vintage blends include the Russian River Pinot Noir, the Sonoma Valley Merlot, and the Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, but you'll also find more affordable modern bottles as well. If you want to make a birthday or another gathering truly special, you can even order your own private-label wines.

Buon Vino has a pet-friendly tasting room, so don’t be afraid to bring your dog along when you visit!
