And honestly, it turned our casual afternoon into a whole experience. The charcuterie board alone was worth the visit: beautifully arranged, generous portions, and a thoughtful mix of flavors that paired well with everything they poured. But the real standout was the wine tasting. Each flower-infused wine had its own personality: aromatic, bright, and unlike anything we've tried before. The staff walked us through each pour with genuine enthusiasm, making the whole tasting feel personal rather than pretentious. What started as a quick snack became an unexpectedly memorable afternoon. If you're looking for something unique, warm, and delicious, this place is absolutely worth the stop. We can't wait to go back!

Visiting La Contrada Vineyard and kitchen was an absolutely beautiful and uplifting experience. The…read moresetting is peaceful, scenic, and grounding, with breathtaking vineyard views that I just couldn't get enough of! I can't wait to go back. My family and I went to La Contrada Vineyard and kitchen to attend a couple Goat Shenanigans events where we did goat yoga and painting with the goats at the vineyard and it was pure fun! I could not stop giggling the whole time. Throughout our yoga session, the goats would hop right onto your back as you did various yoga postures, and you could feed the goats while stretching in the sunshine. My daughter joined me during goat yoga and it turned into such a fun, bonding day for both of us. I suggest going during a time when you can enjoy the weather since this is mostly an outdoor facility. When we went the weather was perfect, the sun was shining, and the whole experience was enjoyable. We didn't order any food or drinks since we were at the vineyard for the Goats Shenanigans events (yoga and painting) however the breathtaking views alone, make it worth it to check this place out. Highly recommend if you want something unique and peaceful. The staff was also friendly and accommodating.

I'm really disappointed with our experience at Incontrada Vineyard & Winery. We used to come here…read morewhen it was Lara Vineyards, and the service and overall experience were noticeably better. It's disappointing to see how much things have declined. My sister is a member and hosted her 50th birthday here, so we expected a much higher level of organization and service. The party had already started and the rest of our group was there--we arrived late due to work and ordered food immediately when we got there. Right after placing our order, we were told we had to leave soon, so we asked to cancel it. Instead of handling this professionally, a staff member (River Dan) laughed and told us the food was "almost ready" because it had supposedly been placed 15 minutes earlier--which was not true. Another person in our party had ordered the exact same pizza before we did and was still waiting on theirs. We canceled our order, and their pizza didn't come out until about 10 minutes later. That makes it very clear ours was not "about to come out" like we were told. The explanation we were given simply didn't add up. Throughout the evening, staff seemed confused about orders. Drink service was also frustrating. I asked what a "zinpom" was, was told it was basically a juice wine, declined it, and specifically ordered a Sangiovese--yet I was still given the zinpom and then it was attempted to be charged to us. What made things worse was how the event itself was handled. My sister was never clearly given an end time when reserving the table. We were only told to leave about 15 minutes before the cutoff. At other wineries, guests are usually allowed to move to a general seating area after a private event ends, but here the only option was to leave entirely. Overall, the lack of communication, poor organization, and dismissive attitude from staff really overshadowed what should have been a special celebration. We expected much better, especially for a member-hosted event. If this is how members are treated, especially those who continue to frequent this place despite ongoing service issues, I can't imagine how non-members are treated

After dinner, we stopped for Fiorella Friday and ended the night at Hill Country Cider House. It is a really comfortable space. There are a few tables in the main room, with extra rooms available for overflow. The guy running the bar had a strong country warmth to him and was clearly knowledgeable about every cider they were pouring. My parents and my girlfriend all ordered the hot cider made with their 'Tis the Season cider, I think. They all really enjoyed it and its warmth. I ordered a cider mule, which was also excellent. A whole bottle of their cider can definitely get the night going, and I am excited to buy some bottles to take back with me next time I am in Castroville. RIYL: Ciders, houses, or the Hill Country

Parking - plenty and a private lot. But a bit off road (lol don't bring a low car unless you get…read morelucky with paved parking). Service - we have been here about 4-5 times, but service has never been too great or too friendly. The bar on the beer side is always pleasant but the tasting bar side always has a bit of a tiny rude vibe - and I don't mention it ever but I'm in the wine industry and we don't see this normally. Also tonight we were asked to move to a different table as they didn't prepare for a Harry Potter event ahead of time just as we settled in after a rough day (and our young pup finally chilled out). It felt we were being pushed out and the other table was by the window/door that was glass so I was cold. My senior mom was cold after we had found a great spot that was warm for her. Live music tonight was also quite off - I wouldn't suggest this place anymore. I'm not sure if in the last year it has gone down hill but it's no longer worth the drive for a mediocre experience. They gave many potential beautiful spaces but they don't utilize them, nor update them, so the vibe is just outdated. No music on the speakers can be heard when there isn't live music. So sorry to not write the best review here but it's honest.

My husband and I really enjoyed a rosé that the Pearl featured, that she stated she also sells.

I've called and texted multiple times and received inconsistent and delayed responses. I still have not received the wine or a refund. Based on this experience, I no longer trust this business and would advise others to be cautious before purchasing from them.
