We visited the winery on Sunday the 15th. Upon presenting my info for the wine club I was informed Id need to also purchase the June allotment. When asked why informed thats our policy. So lets see.... Were 15 days away from the next shipment and I must take the June allotment that is over 100 days past. Seriously, very unaccommodating and nobody could explain why, just "our policy." Well I assure you my wine club with Justin, Frank Family and Rombauer is a much better choice as they will work with you, even hold a shipment over having you leave the club, very smart Id say. Gundlach Bundschu you let me walk our after wanting to make a $2,000 commitment over a $500 purchase that just doesnt make any sense. Very short sighted.....

What a lovely winery with absolutely lovely people. So accommodating and helpful. Someone came up to the parking lot with a golf cart to assist a guest with a walker~ All the staff friendly and helpful, from the golf cart driver to our servers...Scott and Anthony. Everyone relaxed and gracious, not to mention the wine was fabulous and the cheese plate very generous. Met every expectation for taking visiting family on a memorable afternoon~ thank you Gundlach Bundshu for a delightful day...we will be back with friends!

Ive brought people to the winery multiple times and experiences vary. The tasting room itself is often busy and crowded; opt for the outdoor tasting area if it is open. The cave tour is also a great way to get away from the crowds and taste the wine in cooler conditions. If youre willing to forego the tasting, you can buy wines by the glass or bottle and have a picnic on the beautiful grounds. The wines themselves are balanced and elegant; among my favorites in Sonoma--but I dont base my rating on that because taste is very subjective.

I would come here for the friendly people. I was treated like a king by extremely knowledgable staff with a generous pour and great smile. While I was touring sonoma valley, we stopped at quite a few wine tasting places and this was one of my favorites. The syrah cab was personally my favorite, but theyre all delicious. I also surprisingly fell in love with their Zinfandel. And lastly, the name is classic. Gun lock bun shoe - best marketing ever. Im also very weird when it comes to naming factors...

Its a beautiful setting. The grounds are gorgeous and just outside the tasting room there is a large area where you can sit and enjoy looking out onto the duck pond. I was not as impressed with the wine. It wasnt bad, but wasnt great either. The staff was wonderful and very informed. It might be a nice spot to stop for a tasting and have a picnic lunch and would be great for those who want to bring their little ones as there is a large, grassy area where they could roam around.

We did the tour which was great and done by a relative which made the tour even more interesting with his insider stories and secrets. Im not sure the tour was worth $50 but it was interesting and great to see a property and hear the history, plus u get a cute take home cup. The wines were phenomenal and our fav from the weekend. The property is great for wine tasting and cheap! Only downside...no outside food. Highly recommend and we will come here everytime we visit!

Stopped in for the vineyard tour. You climb on in to an old swiss army vehicle and drive around the vineyards. This is accompanied by some wine and cheese tasting. The tour is given by one of the Owners and a descendant of the founder. Great tour! I highly recommend taking this tour. Beautiful place. Regarding the wines, these are some of the best wines I have had that are within a price range of the average person. Not pretentious, and a very welcoming experience.

Gun lock bun shoe. Thats an easy way to remember how to pronounce the name of this winery. Its worth it to do the short walk up the hill and over to the other side for a gorgeous view of the vineyards-- just part of the 320 acres this winery owns. Super friendly staff. I like the scenery here, but not so much of a fan of the reds that we tried here. Participants of the Visa Signature club, which gets you 3 free pours or 2 for 1 tasting.

If you zoom in on the picture, theres a tiny spider on the top left side on the glass. We stood for 10 min after checking in but no one served us. After I told one of the servers about the spider she just took it away and never showed up. I was very disappointed about this place. I had high expectations because I really like Gewurtztraminer. It was the first winery visit today and their ignorance ruined my day.

Very cool off the beaten path choice for "wine adventure enthusiasts". Was referred to this winery by a rep at Cline. They have a cave tasting room and lots of outdoor space to enjoy a bottle of wine outside and enjoy the amazing weather. I highly recommend taking the hiking trail up the hill to one of their picnic tables and having a couple of bottles of wine there if you want a more exclusive experience.

One of the oldest wineries in the area and such a tranquil and lovely place. Love how they have tried to keep the area, although its become touristy. Would definitely recommend calling in advance to get a tasting on the outside patio (reservations only) otherwise they have a few standing spots inside or a pop-up bar on the outside where you can have wine by the glass and walk around the grounds.

Belle visite des lieux un peu surpris du tarif 40$ avec la dégustation. Mon palet Français nétant pas au gout du jour du pays , il ny aura pas de commentaire sur le vin.

Gundelach Bundschu was one of the best places my husband and I tasted on the day we went tasting. We held on to their bottle for about a year and it was even better than we remembered. The people were friendly (which is always important!) and knowledgable, and the wine was stellar. This is somewhere I will definitely return to in time to revisit the wine and the ambiance.

Great place for dry and aromatic wines. Their Petit Syrah and Gewurztraminer are my favorites. However, I am not a fan of their Signature mix and the Cabernet. The staff here is knowledgeable enough and are extremely nice. They offer two free tastings for Visa Signature and comped all four of us when we went.

I loved visiting Gun-Bun! I came with a group of 6 and we had a fabulous time. Our server was attentive to our needs and educated us about the wine as well as the surrounding area. AND he was nice enough to take a bunch of pictures for us! We had a blast, bought a bunch of wine, and I cant wait to return.

While the grounds are stunning (seriously, what a view), the wine left a little bit to be desired. I understand this place has been around the late 1800s, however, most of the wines we tasted didnt match up to the premium they wanted. Heard great things about the cave tour (havent been yet).
