The bus is extremely clean and well-kept. You can tell they care about their product & providing a nicely detailed vehicle. The AC worked well especially considering how humid it was outside the day we used them. Also, the booking process through email was a breeze. They were timely in responding to our request for a party shuttle service. Communication remained clear and cheerful throughout our entire experience. Their pricing is also very fair when considering the quality of their bus compared to competitors. We'll definitely be using them again!

We met the wine maker at a few wine Events in MN and finally made it out to the winery, and it's well worth the drive. The wine club is pretty nice too, you're just committed to buying a box of wine on signup and that's it, no more commitment and we definitely enjoyed enough reds to fill the case.

They blew us off I am assuming because we are not regulars. We ordered a pizza and they gave it to someone else by accident. Instead of feeling bad, they were dismissive of us. The lady on the table who got our pizza apologized. But the workers seemed to ignore us. Nice place but if you want a friendly easygoing experience skip it and go to another winery. Gave it a two because the unfriendliness brought down our night. Then my husband went up to the counter to ask a question she ignored him and talked to others behind us. Very disappointing.

Enjoying a wine slushie after taking in some of the stores in downtown Hayward? Yes please!…read more I was so excited to stop here last week. The sidewalk sign promising the slushies beckoned me in on the particularly warm summer day. And happily, the nice gentleman (I think the owner) was quick to bring the slushie after I ordered it. It was cool and refreshing, as you'd imagine, and fruity. Definitely hit the spot. I also got the Cider Hound Raspberry Rosé. I love that this is made locally, and raspberry and rosé seemed like such a great combination. It was very good as well -- tart and slightly sweet. My sister-in-last and her husband got the mead and cider flights. While wine seems to be Out of the Woods' forte, it was so fun to see ciders and meads on the menu. Plus you get an Out of the Woods wine glass to take home with you. The winery also has some light bites that I appreciate at a winery -- flatbread pizza and hot baguette with dips and butter. I admit that I didn't get to eat much of these because my five-month-old started crying and had to be comforted outside. But what I had was enjoyable. I also appreciated that the maybe owner was quick to bring me a water after watching me try to comfort my son in the summer heat. This laid back tasting room has bottles to buy and other fun. Definitely add this to your must-try list for Hayward.

We tried a few different flights of wine and flat breads and enjoyed the beautiful view of the vineyard. The place is truly breathtaking, and at the time, they had live music playing outside. Jenna made some very good recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. ::Caution:: I still gave this place 5 stars because this has nothing to do with the service or the quality of the food or location, but we were picturing a nice, calm brunch, sipping on wine, not a Chuck E Cheese experience. Apparently, we were upgraded to the deluxe Chuck E Cheese package and were seated around lots of parents who decided to bring their young kids to a vineyard. The kids were running wild around tables and crying and screaming. Not one parent corrected their kids' behavior and just let them run around like free-range chickens. There were also people complaining that there were no non alcoholic drinks that they wanted at a vineyard. When I went inside there seemed to be no kids indoors. While another group could not control their kids and kept knocking things off the table, including glasses of wine. No one seemed to mind outdoors because most of the people had young kids, so be warned that this may be a possibility, so research your days before you go. Overall, if you remove the kids running wild and crying, the service was fantastic, the wine was good, lots of parking, the ambiance was incredible, and the food was good.
