    Berryessa Gap Winery on Highway 128 After our wine tasting experience at their tasting room on Main Street we headed on over to their estate where they grow their vineyards on Highway 128, about a 5-min drive (2.2 miles). Berryessa Gap Vineyards has two wine tasting locations. This is their production facility. They also have a tasting room in this location. Food truck today, Sunday, was provided by Buckhorn Grill. We were planning on purchasing food here but we spent a little too much time at their tasting room on Main Street and we were coming on close to our reservation at another winery in Clarksburg. Bummer! we had to skip the food. There are plenty of outdoor seating including picnic tables, lounge chairs, and outdoor patio furnitures. Indoor seating is very limited. There is a stage for a live band, I think they only have live music entertainment on Saturdays. Here on California 128 are both Berryessa Gap Winery and Berryessa Brewing Co.'The vineyards were too far to walk to, they lie in the gently rolling hills east of Lake Berryessa. Review #2301

    Visited on a very busy Saturday afternoon. Berryessa Gap Vineyards has two tasting locations. This is their production center that is shared with the Berryessa Brewing Company next door. They also have a tasting room on Main Street in Historic Downtown Winters. Lots of outdoor seating. Make a reservation on the weekend for a lounge chair or opt for a picnic table. Limited inside seating available inside the airconditioned tasting room (which was nice to cool off in the 106 F valley heat wave). The wines were accompanied by a nice charcuterie board. The smoked gouda was so delicious and perfect to pair with the dried fruits and smoked almonds. You can also buy cheeses, meats or dried fruits for a nice snack. I am definitely going to cut my larger pieces of dried fruits like this in the future when building charcuterie boards. Thanks to Rogelio who was a great host, to Brendan for making my reservation on a busy summer weekend, to Berryessa Gap Vineyards for the elite tasting experience and snack board and to Sacramento CM Alex for the YOLO Passport invite. Make sure to tip your server.

    Christopher helped us with our wine tasting and we had a good time as our second stop of our self guided tour. This place had it's AC on full blast and we were delightfully chilled as we were instructed to sit at a table until we could be helped with our wine tasting. The place was so clean, bright, and decorated with purchasable art. There is two tasting menu's here, one that includes white wine and a second that is only red. You don't get to choose, they have a ready made set of 5 wines for you. I loved the bright and crispy white wine that was served first- my favorite of the ones samples. Christopher also gave us a little decanter of water for us to share and little stemless glasses for the water. While waiting for another sample, one of my boyfriend's favorite past times of scaring me playfully ended with me knocking over the little decanter of water onto the table...not intoxicated! Just easily scared! haha. Chris helped me clean it up and said "At least it wasn't the wine!" - I agree Chris! The chalkboard said there was live music at 6 but that time came and went without a sound. I didn't ask, Chris was a busy guy at that time but I hope they do have live music. I would love to stop by for a glass of wine and some live jazz and I suggest everyone else who shares those passions to do the same and make the same inquires! Thank you for having us BGW!

    Visited Berryessa Gap Vineyards on a Sunday afternoon. We made sure to make reservations and they were also kind enough to adjust our reservations when we said we were running late earlier on in the day. Located in Winters, CA not too far from the Napa Valley but more towards Sacramento with quality tasting wines without the high price from the Napa Valley. Ray was our server and he went above and beyond with explaining their history and the quality of their wines, he was very hospitable. Berryessa Gab Vineyards has highly rated wines and they did not disappoint. They are also located in connection next to Berryessa Gap Brewing. They had a food truck outside and it looks like you can bring your own food. Perfect for the entire family and friendly for kids and pets. I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area!

    We came for our yolo passport event and we were hosted by Ray! He was super hospitable and he answered all our questions and made some great suggestions. I'm probably not the best person, since I'm not a wine snob, but their wines are fairly easy to drink. Their wines are top rated through the wine enthusiasts. And their prices are not bad as well! It's connected to Berryessa brewery and there's plenty of parking. We were seated outside, under the shaded area. It was pretty hot, but we got to feel a nice breeze and everyone was socially distanced

    Came here as part of Yelp's Passport to Yolo Wine Country. A great selection of wines, though I am no sommelier. I enjoyed everything, and they gave pretty generous pours. Luckily there was a buckhorn food truck for me to get some much needed carbs to soak up the alcohol. They also provided a cheese board with dried papaya(? I think) , nuts, and goat cheese. Service was great, as soon as we finished, they stopped by with the next bottle. We made a reservation beforehand and showed up right when they opened. Make sure to tip! And get a bottle of wine while you're at it. They waive the tasting fee if you buy a bottle, so I'll definitely be back. Everyone was COVID-compliant. No worries there! Excellent wines and service! Beautiful patio area for you to enjoy your wines as well. I noticed string lights, which means I definitely need to come back when the sun is down.

    This was our third tasting room during Yelp's Passport to Yolo Wine Country. This place is 5 minutes away from downtown Winters. It featured the same 5 wines we had from the Berryessa Gap tasting room but we were curious at what this place was all about. This building is adjacent to the Berryessa Brewing Co. Upon arriving, the sizzling 104°F heat was already scorching the gravel parking lot and we hurried onto the air-conditioned comfort of the tasting room. It wasn't as aesthetically presentable as the other tasting rooms in the area but it served it's purpose. We got another free charcuterie plate and the pourer entertained our questions and was quite knowledgeable with what he was serving.

    I visited this place as part of the Yelp passport on a blistering 108 degree day, I haven't visited any wineries in Yolo county but this place really blew me away. It was my last stop for the day and while they did have the option of sitting outside I opted for a spot right next to the entrance. The tasting room for Berryressa is not very big but had a nice quaint feel. I was pleasantly surprised that the tasting included one of their snack plates and it was a nice surprise. The snack plate is normally 10 dollars and would have definitely been worth picking up even if it wasn't complimentary. Our server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She knew quite a bit about the wine and was engaging throughout our tasting. We even got a chance to try another extra wine. Hopefully I'll get a chance to visit the winery itself, but next time I'll wait for a cooler day!

    We went to the main production facility, not the tasting room in downtown. This area is setup for indoor and outdoor tasting but it's off the main road so the ambiance is not great. The brewing company had a live band so we got to enjoy that. The wines were good. Not up to Napa standards, even though they are so close to Napa. Of course, affordable tasting fees and wine prices. I grabbed a magnum of their Reserve Durif (Petite Syrah). I normally like to taste at the winery, but in this case, I want to try the tasting room instead for a future visit.

    Hubby & I used the Groupon for our tour. It was super easy to book. We just emailed Lynda , and got a reservation within 2 weeks. I really like this cute family vineyard. We've been wine tasting before, but at other bigger venues. The facility itself is a bit small, but very intimate. Our tour guide showed us the barrel room, where they prep the grapes, and also had roots laid out to show us. The wine tasting room is private and seated 10 people total. Our party of 2 was joined by another family of 4, so it was comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the red wines, and we were happy that our tasting came with snacks! I liked the cheese a lot, & hubby devoured the salami blocks. They also served us mascono almonds (I'm hoping I spelled that right). Those were yummy too. Overall great spot to visit at least once!

    I'm really glad that I made the reservation and choice to visit this winery . Even if I was SOLO today. Due to traffic I arrived right at my reservation time. I had a flawless check in and was able to get started on my tasting right away. I was able to enjoy a reserved table outside with my pairings. The atmosphere was great! Seeing others gather and partake in conversations and shipping's. Even saw a couple of pets . There was also a Buckeye bbq truck there and some great overhead music. Towards my last tasting I chose to go inside with the AC and just converse with the hostesses that were assisting throughout the visit. Just asking a couple of questions spark in a conversation. Was informed that the location had been open even during the Covid process but more less for a curbside experience. And that sometimes on Saturday nights they also have a life performance in music on the premises too. They also have the option of a barrel purchase.or bottles. Which is what I did. (A bottle ) that is lol. Which qualified for a 15% off purchase. I would have loved to stay longer. But I was my driver. So with that said I will have to pay another visit in the near future.

    There is plenty of parking, great wine options and shade. The side of snacks was a great addition with the wine but they also had a food truck on site with fast service. They have picnic tables and round tables with benches for seating. My favorite was the Verdejo wine, especially with this heat. The staff was welcoming, friendly and very attentive to me.

    I came here as part of the Passport to Yolo County. We came here during a super hot day so we decided to do the wine tasting indoors. The wine tasting room was very small with 2 tables available. As we got up to the bar, I mentioned that I was here for the Yelp Elite event. Turns out that it was recommended to make reservations and I was glad they did not turn me away. We got to try 5 different variety of wines. Out of all 5, I really enjoyed the red blend. I enjoyed it so much that we ended up buying 2 bottles to take home. Unfortunately, as I got home, I realized the older lady charged us regular price and didn't apply the 15% off for us due to the event, which was a bummer! All in all, I wouldn't mind coming back here again to enjoy the scenery and a nice glass of wine, but on a much cooler day.

Once they arrived at The Asian Art Museum in SF and he dropped them off, he texted me and sent a photo of them heading up the stairs and let me know they had arrived safely. He asked me to share his work phone number with the kids so that they could call him once the dance ended and they could find him just in case. He reassured me that they did not have to rush as well.

    Hands Down the Best Driver in Napa Valley!…read more I discovered George on Yelp, and after comparing other Napa car services--many quoting well over $1,000 for wine tours--it's clear why his customers rave about him. His reviews truly say it all! There were plenty of reasons we chose George over the rest. From our very first contact, George was incredibly responsive and communicative. I had a party of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids) for my husband's 40th birthday celebration and needed a vehicle that could securely accommodate a car seat with a latch system--his car was absolutely perfect. He arrived right on time, greeted us warmly, and was super easy to talk to. Throughout the day, George consistently arrived within minutes at each of our destinations. He didn't just drop us off--he guided us to the exact entrances and exits of every winery, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. On top of that, he shared insightful feedback about why each winery is special, adding a whole new level of appreciation to our tour. Another bonus, he provided water in an iced cooler and white glove door service! What really stood out was George's impressive local knowledge. Without even needing navigation, he expertly drove us from Petaluma to Napa while sharing fascinating stories and history about the wineries, estates, and the region itself. If you want a professional, friendly, affordable, and knowledgeable driver for your Napa experience, George is your guy! Highly recommend and would easily book him for our next trip!
