We were…read morepleasantly surprised by how close the winery was to downtown Walnut Creek tucked away in quiet neighborhood near the hills. We shared a bottle of Viognier white wine. My girlfriends both ordered the carnitas tacos, while I had the tacos with fresh grilled octopus. We were among the first to arrive, but within an hour, the place was packed. The food and wine were delicious, and the service was great.

We also got a tour of their Italian winemaking equipment. The food was surprisingly good. Found out later that the chef has a Michelin pedigree. My filet was amazing! It came with bone marrow which was unique and very tasty. The views are incredible. The vineyards...Mt Diablo and the views of the clear night sky with low light pollution are breathtaking. Go for the scenery, stay for the wine and the food.

My go to spot for happy hour in downtown Danville!…read more When with my friend for happy hour while both of our kids were volunteering at a school close by. We decided to stop in to enjoy a drink and eat a bit, awaiting their call. They have a good drink selection overall and good options on their happy hour menu. I enjoyed some Rose and a French 75 that was a bit different than the usual, the color of the drink was purple. It was strong and tasty, which is the best drink combo isn't it?!? I also like their happy hour food options; my friend and I shared a margarita flatbread, brussel sprouts and the chicken tacos which was the only one that I could do without, honestly. Great place to chill and to catch up with a friend over drinks and to enjoy some food. Service was good, our server who also a gentleman that was also working at the bar was frowns personable and friendly. Provided us with some good recommendations and made us the pretty French 75.

Bonjour, hi! We…read morecame by during a cutesy Sunday for a casual drink during HAPPY HOUR. Overall, one word: disappointed. Disappointedly, the vibe was quite boring honestly. Hoped for some nice music or maybe a cute fire place, but instead it was mostly quiet with pretty uncomfortable chairs. Service was disappointing. The server was 18 years old with no wine experience to share about the wines that they served. Lastly, and most sadly, the cocktail selection lacked creativity, only really having the staples (manhattan, margarita - not even flavored I might add, paper plane, etc), with no real vision for creativity by the consumer. I was also pretty disappointed with their white wine selection. Seems that they have a rotating wine menu with a very limited variety. When I went, there were only chardonnays, a sauvignon blanc, a Prosecco, and a rosé. Variety was really lacking for a wine bar. Two stars given the caliber of businesses that exist is Danville, in comparison to the product this venue delivered.

The…read moreatmosphere is quaint, relaxed, and welcoming, perfect for families, friends, and -- yes, it's dog‑friendly too. It isn't flashy or crowded. It's serene, grounding, and quietly stunning--a place that invites you to slow down, take a deep breath, and savor both the wine and the moment. From the moment you arrive, the owners will make you feel like old friends. Their passion for what they do truly shines through, and the service is friendly, attentive, and never rushed. You can tell this is a labor of love, not just a business. The wines are fantastic--with something for everyone. I love the chardonnays and my bf loves their wine slushies. Very refreshing on a hot day. Another plus is you can bring your own food as long as there is not an event taking place where they serve food. Be sure to check their website calendar before you arrive. If you're looking for a one of a kind place in Castro Valley, that is beautiful, relaxing, family‑run, and genuinely special, this is it. It's the kind of winery you want to bring all your friends, and recommend without hesitation. Highly recommend.

We reserved an indoor spot, which was indicated to have no time limit. We were having a wonderful time relaxing, enjoying a wine bundle special we purchased, and sharing a charcuterie board. However, our experience was ruined when a host approached our table and asked if we were close to leaving because there was a long waitlist. Several other tables had arrived before us, yet none of them were approached. This treatment felt unfair and left a very bad taste in my mouth. After many years of enjoying my membership, this experience has made me seriously consider canceling it. Please be better.

I had been here once…read morebefore and previously had a wonderful experience, which made this visit especially disappointing. Shortly after arriving, I noticed a water bottle refill station inside the museum and refilled my water bottle there. While quietly viewing an exhibit with my family, we were suddenly approached in a very loud and confrontational manner by a female staff member who stated, "Ma'am, ma'am! There is no food or drink allowed in the museum. You either need to leave or throw your water bottle away." I was surprised by both the tone and the interaction, especially considering the museum itself provided the refill station inside the building. I explained that I had filled the bottle there, but was told that people are apparently expected to "refill their bottles and then leave the museum to drink from them," which honestly made very little sense. Because I am pregnant, I asked if I could simply keep the bottle closed while inside, rather than repeatedly separating from my family whenever I became thirsty. She reluctantly agreed, but after that interaction, staff members continuously followed my family throughout the museum for the remainder of our visit, seemingly monitoring whether I drank water. What should have been an enjoyable family outing became extremely uncomfortable and unenjoyable. Being closely followed from exhibit to exhibit over a closed water bottle felt excessive and unnecessary, especially under the circumstances. Unfortunately, the experience left my family and I not wanting to return. I truly hope future guests are treated with more kindness, professionalism, common sense, and dignity.

On top of that, Miggi's fun, warm personality really brings the whole experience together. My office team loved it and is still talking about it. Highly recommend for team events or anyone looking for a unique, engaging culinary experience.
