The staff are super friendly and know there wines, and there own product very well.. I tend to always enjoy there Sherriff blend. Ambiance is very relaxing, inside they have a nice setting, with wood, and just relaxing.,.. The outside is not 100% covered how ever, more but allows the sun to somewhat come through, but somewhat shady as well. The patio area is Dog friendly, and they will bring out water for your pooch , no wine for the dogs tho.... lol

We had a great visit at Shadow Ranch for pizza on the patio. We had reservations for 1:30 and when…read morewe got there it wasn't too busy, but pretty soon it was packed up. We tried three different pizzas between us, the pepperoni, the gorgonzola with fig and the daily special, which was hawaiian, though we sub'd pepperoni for ham. We did a gluten free crust for two of them and it was, by far, the best gluten free crust I've had. It was still crispy on the bottom, just like a regular wood-fired pizza. Flavor-wise, the gorgonzola fig was everyone's favorite, by far. The fig, cheese and spicy arugula was just perfect. We held the walnuts. Tracy took care of us and we loved our tasting. Our designated driver was treated to an Arnold Palmer, much better than just his usual bottle of water. I thought their wines were pretty reasonably priced, even for non-members. You need to buy at least $60 worth of wine to waive the $15 tasting price - I appreciate that they put that right at the top of the menu so there's no guessing. The tasting was really generous with good pours so even if we hadn't bought wine I would have felt it was worth it. Tracy took great care of us, answering all our questions and keeping our water and wine glasses filled. It was a wonderful, relaxing day on the beautiful property.

The tasting room is modern and bright but warm. The same can be said of the service at this family owned and operated winery. Portuguese varietals and methods in reds, whites, and ports shine here.

Starting or ending here is a wise choice.

I can't begin to tell you the number of flavors I tasted. So amazing. My only sadness was when I reached the bottom of my bowl. And it paired nicely with their Merlot. I hope I am lucky enough to catch this specialty again on a future visit. And, for the person that wants to know more about vineyards and how to grow grapes, be sure to ask Alex and Josy for a tour. It was intimate and way different than the tasting room experiences where you never see the owner or the winemaker. I learned a lot!

Ruggero is always hospitable and never forgets his club members as we appreciate his excellent vintner skills. I highly recommend visiting the winery and enjoy the various specialty wines alongside Ruggerio's pizza and pastas if scheduled accordingly. The winery is a little over an hour's drive from the Sacramento metro area but well worth the time.

This is my first time at Mellowood vineyard in Fair Play. The owners are so sweet, kind and…read moreextremely inviting. It's a cute little winery with small indoor seating but plenty of outdoor seating and a deck. The inside is cute and cozy inside. The wine tasting is $15 it is waived with wine purchase. We tried several different wines and my favorites it's the Rose, Rafiki and the Jamba. I did at the end I did end up getting the up getting the Rose, it is so refreshing. We brought our own food for a picnic with friends and they do have upcoming events. I've never had Kenyan food so I plan on trying it at their event in August. If you haven't been to Mellowood vineyards you are definitely missing out on some delicate wines.

We had put a charcuterie board from our little picnic inside the AC. loved the wine tasting to pair with our picnic. . We loved the red wine called rafiki which means friendship, this bottle is smooth, fruit forward, and pairs well with our cheese, veggies, pasta salads. I highly recommend rafiki red wine. . Overall we will be back for the future event to try the Kenya bbq and wines. Hope this review helps and thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day. Also there is plenty of outdoor seating and nice patio too. They even have a airbnb for rent as well on the property.

We checked in at the front wine area and then went into the tasting room (which is in a wine cave). We were served by Elizabeth (hope I have the name correct) who took great care of us.

We had been previous wine club members (didn't stop because of the winery) and knew all of the great wines to taste as well as try some of their current ports. Needless to say ended up with a case and really enjoyed ourselves. The staff are so friendly and the tasting in a cave makes it a unique experience.

The tasting room and wine shop has a bit of an Italian villa vibe. The huge back lawn was beautiful. We chose to stay inside since outside service was limited that day. The bottle labels and wine names were entertaining in themselves. With an extensive list it was hard to choose a few to try. I started with three of their five sparkling wines. The Almond, the Peach, and the Strawberry. I have an office full of girls that enjoy their sweet bubbles. So they got some that day. For me, I like the reds. Julie Ann Barbera, Sienna Mourvedre, Morgan's Nebbiolo, and Naughty Bawdy. All great, but Naughty you have to try on label and name alone. Plenty of parking in the front.
