Looking for a few recs for wineries around Santa Rosa, CA...

We're not going out there to hit wineries, but I'd like the option to stop in at a few, if we have time. We had done wine country for our honeymoon, so this is more just hanging out in the area and visiting little towns and some outdoorsy stuff.

So looking for something with nice scenery, not overly touristy, maybe not a huge ripoff for samples/tasting. something worth visiting

A picturesque wine tasting is Amizetta on Howell Mountain*

Temptation and Supplication have been favorites, but have only acquired bottles in the past and never been to the brewery.

I’m not a huge IPA person, but I have had Pliny before and will definitely try it on draft.

Not a winery, but I thought Healdsburg was an awesome little town.

This advice might be a little outdated, but my experience is that some wineries can seem ... almost unprepared for visitors. Not especially outward facing.

It's nice when there's someone behind the counter. It's nice when there's a counter. It's nice when they have some bottles to sell you, just in case you liked the taste, if they had one to offer.

An alarming percentage of the people I visited wine country with are dead, or have quit drinking, so my opinion should probably be ignored.
