06.27.21 tasting room
May A.

Pleasant experience with Ann and Linda Hubby was not able to make reservations for a wine tasting experience inside the tasting room so we walked in expecting to sit outside the parklet which did not require reservations. Turns out the tasting room was not busy at all so we were able to enjoy our wine pairing inside. It was a 3-digit day today, although the outside seating had a covered patio roof and equipped with misters. Linda brought us a charcuterie board to pair with the wine sampling. Ann started us off with a 2019 Verdejo with charming aroma of citrus flavors... hmm, thinking of pairing this with fish tacos and even Thai food? Then I tried the Gozar! Red Blend. This wine was flavorful and easy to drink. 39% Tempranillo, 35% Petite Sirah, 18% Zin, and 8% Cab Sauv... paired well with our mix of charcuterie. We ended purchasing a bottle using our 15% discount. They had merchandise for sale including shirts, loofah soaps, cooking oils (sunflower, walnut, almond), nuts for pairing, and wine gifts and accessories. The tasting staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the wines and the ladies shared with us a little history about the vineyard owners and their Highway 128 collection wines. Thank you both for an enjoyable visit! Review #2300

I visited their tasting room on Main street (one of their two locations). It has both indoor and outdoor areas. The inside was pleasantly dark and had various seating options from bar height tables to comfy lounge chairs and regular restaurant furniture. It had a great casual feel where you don't need to dress up, but can if you choose to. Their wines were good, some mature, other still left with some time to develop. My favorite was 2018 Zinfandel, which was completely different from 2017 that I had a chance to try because of another gentleman buying the bottle for his table. I bought a bottle. Service was incredible. The associate was very attentive, appeared to be passionate about wine and knowledgeable to describe flavors you can expect. I also admired their clean bathroom (yes, I know, who the heck reviews the bathroom?!). Overall, a great experience. One recommendation I would have for the business is to get different, lower height chairs for their bar-height tables.

June 2021's Yelp's Passport to Yolo Wine Country
Arnel E.

This was our second of four stops during the Yolo Passport to Wine Country Elite Event. Of the wineries today, this was the BEST. This cozy Berryessa Gap tasting room located in downtown Winters was decked with local art and fresh flowers. We got in while our wine tasting server Sheree was opening the doors at 11AM. She was the most informative and pleasant personnel that we've experienced during any of our wine tastings period. The experience started with a complimentary snack board of smoked gouda & almonds, manchego and dried fruit which complimented the variety that we sipped on. We brought home the Goza! Rosé of Tempranillo and the Gozar! non-vintage Red Blend mainly because this young lady was so good with her spiel. Here's to the region getting their American Viticultural Area (AVA) certification.

I had such an excellent time at Berryessa Gap Vineyards! My friend and I came in for the Yelp Elite event which included a complimentary wine tasting with unique food pairing. Our server, Rosendo, was super accommodating and easy to vibe with. We came right when they opened so we were the only ones doing their wine tasting. We tried 5 wines: 2019 Verdejo, 2019 Rose of Tempranillo, Non-Vintage Gozar, 2018 Zinfandel, and their 2018 Tempranillo! The food pairing goes well with the wines. Rosendo gave us gouda cheese, dried apricots, and almonds! I liked their Zinfandel the most out of the 5 wines that we tried. We loved the food pairing so much we even ordered their Berryessa Platter which was basically their charcuterie board. It came with manchego cheese, goat cheese, chocolate, chorizo, crackers, dried fruit, and almonds. Overall, a 5/5 experience and would definitely bring more of my friends along with me next time :)

Came here New Years Eve and was a awesome experience! All the workers were super nice and helpful. Came here for a birthday and had such a fun time. If you buy a bottle it waves the tasting! Have to try wine is the Tempranillo. That one was my favorite. Tasting was about 20 dollars, but bought a bottle for 26. Very cute little wine tasting place! Would definitely come back again.

Mixed flight

I enjoy all types of wine - but definitely am more of a white wine lover. They are only offering a red or mixed flight right now. (You can also have a glass or bottle) - but no tastings... Well I decided to do the mixed flight - and I'm glad I did. I am walking out with a 4-pack (yep, you read that right) of the Goza! Rose of Tempranillo - really refreshing and perfect for summer. I'm also taking a bottle of the Non-Vintage Gozar Red Blend - nice combo of their reds. They are offering small plates of snacks - eat inside. Or you can take your glass outside and enjoy. Nice little find~

We originally planned to go to Vegas for our anniversary, canceled last minute and found ourselves in the quaint town of Winters. My husband and I love wine tasting and made Berryessa Gap Vineyards our first stop! When I tell you that the wine is amazing! We went for the 3 tastings of their reds. With each pour "that one" became our favorite! The tasting ended with a 100% pour. Purposely didn't tell the name hoping that you will go and find out! Let's just say we left with all of them and a membership! Great staff and just overall a hidden gem.

My boyfriend and I came in a little before 5 (closing time is 6 in Mondays) and that was plenty of time to get a full tasting in while having a leisure conversation with each other as well as with the person that helped us Lily. She was great! Very personable and helpful with the tasting and purchases afterwards. The flight of 5 wines were decent and a great variety. The stars for us were the snack trio, two of which were locally made (the smoked almonds and dried fruit) and paired beautifully with the wines. We ended up purchasing a bottle of rose, an espresso glass (they're having a 30% off on select glassware right now!), and a bag of dried pears. They also have a customer only bathroom that's clean and well maintained. We sat at a table by the window that had some cute flowers on it, but they also have outside seating if that's what floats your boat. The WiFi inside is great as well! Overall an impressive experience and would love to come back for more.

Berrysea Gap provides and intimate, knowledgeable and delicious tasting experience for some of the best wines of Yolo County. They have a cozy inside tasting room and ample patio seating for outside tasting. We have stopped in many times but we were particularly impressed this past visit, our host was extremely knowledgeable about all of the wines, terroir, flavor expectations and varietals. It was a wonderfully enhancing experience and we actually learned quite a few new things in regards to wine in general and about some of their different varieties we haven't tried in the past. They do offer some charcuterie options with your wine and the tasting is extremely affordable, the fee is waived if you purchase wine. We have always loved their Durif & Petite Syrah but actually purchased a couple new wines to take home and explore. Always a great visit to Berryessa Gaps tasting room!

Davin G.

First and foremost, Lily is a wonderful host! She's very kind and knowledgable with the wine she served us. I felt well accommodated, with both amazing customer service and a clean, comfortable tasting room. Out of the 5 wines served, I gravitated most towards the 2019 Verdejo, 2019 Rosé, and 2018 Zinfandel. The Verdejo and Rosé are both refreshing without an overbearing aftertaste. The Zinfandel was enjoyable, with plenty of fruity notes that I personally enjoy. The snack platter provided paired very nicely with the wine provided. I'm a fan of the smoked almonds and dried fruit provided, with the dried fruit being my favorite out of the trio. All in all, a great place for a well priced wine tasting. I walked away from the experience with a bottle of Rosé and a bag of local dried fruit.

beautiful comfortable atmosphere

first time here and definitely won't be our last. enjoyed the friendly knowledgeable staff delicious wines and beautiful comfy seating. fun relaxing way to enjoy my birthday weekend

The Berryessa Gap tasting room in Downtown Winters is a lovely spot to sit, relax, and have some wine. We were helped by Ann and Linda and they were both great, willing to stay and talk about the wines. As part of the Yelp Yolo Psasport, we were given a complimentary nut/cheese/fruit plate, which was wonderful. In addition (for lunch) we got the Winters Special, which included several cheeses, crackers, meats, fruits, and goat cheese with honey. My husband also got a panini - they were out of pastrami, but the ham was delicious. They have a red flight, and a mixed white.red which includes some of the lighter reds. We got one of each, and both of us found a couple that we really liked.

Front counter

Came here as part of the Yelp Elite Passport to Yolo Wine Country event. We arrived, front parking lot was full. If you drive around to the back there is PLENTY of parking. On our walk up to the front we passed alongside the stage, brewery, several spots of outdoor seating with lots of shade. As we entered the Winery we were greeted by staff, mentioned we were apart of the YELP Elite, showed our confirmation email and picked our seating. We decided to sit inside (only two tables inside) as it was pretty hot outside. They staff was attentive to our tasting making sure we received the next beverage in a timely manner. We also received a complimentary cheese, almond, and dried fruit board which paired well with the wines. When finished we asked about the Yelp Elite discount and we're told that this particular winery was NOT participating in it. Not sure what happened- but it states that this winery in particular on the confirmation page link WAS participating In the 15% off wine and food. Hmmm. Overall, nice establishment, food truck on site was good too. We even tried the brewery next door.

I told him what I was going to buy and he directed me over to the store side. I waited in line for 5-10 minutes as two ladies at the counter were helping a customer with their purchases. When the customers left so did the ladies who were working the counter. They both looked at me and didn't ask if I needed help or assistance. They just left without a word. I thought that was rude as hell. I only hope their wine that I purchased won't be as bad as the lack of customer service I didn't receive from either of those ladies. The man that greeted me had to come over from the restaurant side to help me as he worn himself how they ladies just left me so rudely. J told him that I knew nothing about wine and I needed advice on what to choose so I asked him what were the best options and he chose for me and I went with those choices. The inside was cute and chill with soft music playing. But thank God I don't ever want to come back here again not even to purchase a thing from this establishment. I give them 0 stars but unfortunately there has to be 1 star. I give if to the gentleman who ended up helping me. Shame on you ladies for your rudeness and lack of customer service.
