We held my dad's memorial service at this venue, and it was truly wonderful. We had the entire space for the day, and the staff took care of everything. They managed the setup of tables and chairs, comfortably accommodating over 200 guests under the canopy, plus a 20x20' stage we brought in from an outside vendor. Many attendees commented that it was the nicest memorial service they had ever attended. The grounds were beautiful and provided a perfect setting for socializing both before and after the service. Tony Kirk and his team were exceptionally helpful and responsive throughout the process. Planning a memorial service is inherently difficult and sad, but he made it significantly easier. I know my dad would have absolutely loved it. I highly recommend this venue (and their red wine was delicious!). read more

Welcoming and friendly, $15 per tasting, no one in our party really cared for the wines much. The Zin was the best in my opinion. Have to pay for water, which I thought was odd. read more

Great tasting room with very good quality wine and friendly staff! Come on Sundays when Sandra is working! She's great! The tasting fee is $15 with around 8 pours. The portions are excellent and their bottle pricing is very reasonable. I had a great time here and will definitely be back the next time I'm in the Madera area! read more

I had never heard of this winery. It's cozy inside but also a lot of room outside. The lady serving wine was really nice and had a great sense of humor. The wine was good! I'm not really a red wine person but the Barbera was really good. My son came to visit and he loved it. Definitely check this winery out. read more

Had a great wine tasting experience here on a Friday afternoon an hour before closing and had the BEST time chatting up Kim and Tony. Learned about their story and had the most wonderful time getting to know them and the winery. The location was very lovely and they were getting the area prepped for a wedding. I can see this being an amazing venue, everything is just so serene. What prompted me to leave a review, is their wine. Wow wow wow. Everything was so tasty! I'm usually not a chardonnay person but theirs was so flavorful and the taste profile was just so clean. Our favorite was definitely the Alicante Bouschet. It was a full-bodied, juicy... the flavor just went so well together. We loved it so much we ended up getting a few bottles and having Tony help us ship them home. Can't wait for the box to get here so we can enjoy them with our favorite home cooked meal. I'll def be back, never felt so connected with someone that I HAD to take a photo with but I did with Kim. Thank you to Kim and Tony for taking care of us, we'll make this a destination visit next time. XO! read more

Birdstone Winery - Sherry and I are by the birdstone entrance. - Wineries Near Me - Madera, California

The wine tasting was $15/person and a discount if you buy a bottle - our group bought 4 bottles! There were 13 different varieties to taste. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the greenery and people watching. Highly recommend packing a basket of goodies to enjoy with your samples (cheese/crackers/grapes, etc.). They do offer a variety of snacks for purchase in their on-site cooler there as well. My beer loving father in law completely enjoyed the entire experience! Service and explanations of each wine offered by Travis was supremely helpful! read more

Had a great wine tasting experience here on a Saturday afternoon. Very friendly greeting as soon as you walk in. $12 tasting (waived if you buy a bottle). Great tasting that included white and red wines. I enjoyed them all, we bought a Malbec since that is my favorite. Nice air conditioned space and tons of outdoor space with tables and shaded areas. They also have chips and a few other snacks and beverages for sale. Definitely would love to come back soon. read more

I had the opportunity to go to Birdstone Winery for the Madera Wine Crawl the weekend before Valentines Day 2020. This was the second to last winery we went to for the day. We checked in and saw Roma's Italian Food truck happily taking food orders for the Winos out there. The grounds were so beautiful! The layout brought me back to my Los Angeles days where I helped plan a multi millionaire fundraiser with high end celebrities; you can tell I really enjoyed myself here. Definitely on my list of favorite wineries I explored that weekend. The staff and vendors were fun and they had unique goods and their wine crackers were shaped like hearts!! Which makes this winery so unique. I was not a fan of the wines as they were very dry, my preference is sweet and tangy wines. It was very lively and so pretty and spacious at this winery so green as well!! I recommend this be the first stop of the wine trails so you can sip, relax and enjoy what this gorgeous winery has to offer. read more

I've been to this location as a wedding Venue and was recently invited by a friend for a wine tasting. It was a wonderful experience. I learned a bit of the history of this local Gem. Excited to learn their Fresno, Madera locals. The server was Charming and made our experience delightful. Great idea to gather some friends and make. Fun filled date. Support local and get some tips and ideas on serving up some of their wines for your enjoyment. Thanks Birdstone. Best, Durand read more

Absolutely the most beautiful setting for a wedding and the wine is amazing!! My favorite is the Port. Tony was so accommodating and had an awesome list of venders. Definitely recommend for many types of special occasions. Oh and don't forget to grab yourself some of their Port wine, or any of your favorites. You can't go wrong with Birdstone Winery. read more

Very nice spot for R & R and handcrafted wines.. Tony & Debbie Kirk are hosts with the Most!

We love this secret hidden spot with great wine and a very chill, relaxed atmosphere. We enjoy taking a picnic blanket and letting the kids run around while mom and dad treat ourselves a little. Never too crowded and just right. Perfect if you want a quiet retreat with a lot of natural beauty and an enjoyably slower pace. read more

OK y'all, get ready for a ride. We found Birdstone by serendipity when Toca Madera down the road so royally messed up our wedding reservation that they ended up refunding our deposit after having it booked for 6 months. This was because they had booked our wedding for what we later found out was a wine trail weekend. We only found this out because the employees at Birdstone noticed our date and had heard our story of how we hadn't been able to get ahold of the coordinator for some time (she had apparently been fired). And we were only at Birdstone that day because Toca's tasting room wasn't open when it was supposed to be, so we moseyed on down the road and found a better winery. Needless to say, we took our refund right over to Birdstone and booked our wedding for November 2019. In addition to having better service, we also saved over $1000 on the rental fee. We became wine club members that day as well and we haven't regretted it once. The wine is very tasty and the staff is wonderful. Kim, the owner, is usually there, and she personally oversaw my wedding bar. I am truly happy with my venue choice, it was beautiful, the wine was affordable and delicious, and the staff was wonderful. We used their covered patio for the reception since we only had 55 guests, and that saved us a bunch of money on a dance floor. They also let us use a ton of wine barrels for decoration and tables, which fit in greatly with our look. I can't say enough good things about this winery. They saved the day, literally letting us have our preferred date regardless of wine trail weekend, and we had a great wedding there. read more

Online it said the winery closed at 5pm, we arrived at 3:30pm and when we got into the winery the customer service rep was super rude and said "We close at 4 so obviously we're not going to be taking any tastings right now". She was super condescending and rude. Would not come again. read more

The location is great it right off Avenue 9 across from Toca Madera. The outside area was still set up from a wedding the night before, and the venue would be beautiful for a small wedding. I wasn't a huge fan of the wines. Nothing tasted like a classic wine, or a traditional pinot noir, or cabernet sauvignon. They all tasted a bit different and not as smooth as I prefer. However, wine is based upon the taster and there were plenty of people inside enjoying their wine, but for me, not so much. Wine tasting $8 per person. read more

Great local winery! Super friendly staff great tasting wines. They have a selection of salami and cheese to buy for you to pair with the wine read more

We decided to spend the early afternoon doing some wine tasting in Madera County. We decided to stop at Birdstone Winery. What a nice stop. Even though it got a bit busy, Sandra provided us with fun and informative service. The wines are solid and the cost very reasonable. We ended up become wine club members. We would love to come back with a pre-packed lunch and have a nice afternoon outside with some wine. I would recommend going very early in the day as I can see this place getting busy. read more

Birdstone Winery - Tasting info March 2022 - Wineries Near Me - Madera, California

Really cutesy venue that offered us a scenic afternoon of wine tasting. We really like to cater our wine tastings to all reds. They encouraged us to try the whites. We gave them a fair shot we didn't end up enjoying them. If you're passionate about reds, definitely request trying all reds as we really enjoyed those and didn't end up finishing any of the whites (they are just....all white/right). read more

Didn't get a chance to actually try this winery because there website and Google said they were open on Saturday today, but upon arriving, they said they were closed all day as updated on their Facebook page. I'm sure it's a great winery and the employees seemed very kind, but probably would be more beneficial for nonlocal visitors/new visitors to update store hours on a more accesible site than Facebook. Hope we can actually come back one day and try the wines. read more

Birdstone is one of my favorite wineries out of the Madera Wineries! I have gone here multiple times most recently for my 30th birthday. Sandra and Lynn had wonderful customer service and the views / landscaping is beautiful. Their wines are very good and I always recommend this to all my friends. They show each and everyone of their customers how much they value their business which definitely makes your time there that much more enjoyable read more

What a great way to spend the afternoon. The owners/operators are very nice and have so much information on not only the wine industry in the area but restaurants and local things to do. The wine is delicious and the price point is spot on. We joined the wine club which gives us a 20% discount. It is a beautiful place for a wedding if you are getting married. read more

Hadn't been here since shortly after they opened back in the mid 90's. Glad we made it a point to come back as things have truly progressed since they originally opened. They have a huge tented patio perfect for an event. The tasting room is very welcoming with plenty of fun accessories (jewelry, blingy t-shirts, wine accessories) and gourmet oils. Oh, and they have a lot of wine too! Chardonnay, Alicante, Barbera, Temparanillo, Primitivo, and lots more. Bought the Alicante and Primitivo, both delicious. The owners Kim and Tony are salt-of-the-earth people who have done a terrific job transforming Madera farmland into a welcoming winery with event space to boot. Make sure you get yourself to Birdstone! read more

As a Wedding Venue: We had our wedding here back in April, and it was fantastic. He venue is super flexible and will work with whatever you're looking for. Also, great wine! What it really comes down to is finding some people who are willing to talk candidly and honestly with you. Kim and the gang are super polite, they know what they're doing better than you do. You get married once, they host weddings every weekend! About as beautiful as you can get in the central valley. Definitely check this place out. read more

I was in the area for work and had a Sunday off so we all decided to do some co-worker bonding during wine tasting. We had a great time in general and spent the majority of our time at Birdstone. The guys pouring the wine were really nice and the wine was good too. They have some cute wine related items in their small gift shop. If you are going to be tasting in the area I recommend that you give Birdstone a try. read more

We came here last weekend when visiting the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the wines and everyone, especially the owner, Kimberly, were very friendly. First time in Madera wine trail area to try any wines. She also had Solitary vineyard pouring there on Father's day too, which were pretty good. I do have to say after checking out here and Fresno wine trail area last year for wines, they are pretty dang good. And we live in the Santa Cruz mountains and have some great wines here too. Got to love Northern and Central California for our wines. Kimberly was great, my bf and I chatted with her for a long time about her vineyard and history and their many weddings she hosts here. She was so sweet and brought out some cold cuts and crackers to munch on too as well as showing us pictures of a wedding that was there. Nice vineyard and wines are priced right. Thank you so much, Kimberly. Whenever we come back into the area, we will stop by again and visit. read more

I was at a wedding there recently and they, the staff, was not very friendly. It was really hot that day, and they really did not have much to drink for the guests. Of course if you wanted to buy something, that was different. There was no escape from the heat! read more

Came here the beginning of the month. Some friends invited u join them. I was impressed with the good live music and wine quality. Short drive from Fresno and clean grounds. They have live music on the first Saturday of the month not sure if it's just during the summer months. Bring your own picnic and chairs if you don't reserve a table. read more

Once again terrible service at a Madera winery. We went to taste and because we didn't have the "Madera Wine Tour" ticket, they wouldn't sell us a tasting.... That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! I'm here to spend money, and your refusing? What am I missing.... read more

Great little Winery well worth the stop! Sandra (pronounced Sondra) is a delightful server that really goes the extra mile (even near quitting time)! She was gracious and pleasant even though you could tell she was being pulled in 3 directions at once. The wine was about 50/50 like/meh for our taste. It was all well made, though. We really liked their white wines the best. Their red wines were a little dry for our taste (except the port, of course). The prices were decent and the experience was delightful. What more could you ask for an evening of wine tasting? read more
