Best Sonoma wineries for first time visit?

I am about to visit Sonoma with my parents for three days and am feeling very overwhelmed after attempting to figure out which wineries we should go to. Specifically, I am in the market for wineries that are smaller (more of an intimate, family-owned experience rather than a big commercial tourist experience) with a relaxed ambience and great views to enjoy while we hang out and sip some wine. I think the views/ambience is more important to us than the wine (we're not exactly wine experts).

Also, how many wineries should we try to fit in one day? I've generally heard 2-3 is the right number, but would be curious to get other opinions.

Any recommendations you might have would be MUCH appreciated!
