We are not new to this winery and my family and I quickly stopped here just to buy a case of wine…read moreso much so that hubby and I waited in the car while our fam members went inside to purchase. It was supposed to be quick! Tell me why it took longer than we thought and turned out that one of the staff (a really nice young man) was really helpful and helped my family members out and saw they had some new bottles they were trying out, and he was like have you tried it? and from there, they were given tastings of that wine and others, oh try this, try that one. lol. how could you say no? Needless to say, my family members left very happy and would've stayed longer trying the other wines, the kid was very kind, but we had a dinner reservation to get to! They were waiting for someone to come help them take the case to the car, however it was taking a bit (had a dinner reservation) so my family member just carried out the case herself. I was pleasantly surprised they were given tastings like that w/o having made a reservation especially for a busy Saturday afternoon.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable sharing about the history of the vineyard and answering questions the guests had. He also poured a little more of the wines he brought out if we wanted more.

The white which was a younger winehad notes of creme brulee which was something i haven't had before. Just took bad the gift shop wasnt open when we went. It was closed for inventory.

You start by checking in at the bottom of the hill. You then take the gondola up to the winery where you'll start with a white wine. We then proceeded to go on a walking tour where we were able to learn more about the long history of Sterling Vineyards. Along the way we were able to take in arguably the best views in all of the valley while enjoying wine that started from grapes that were grown in the vineyards below. We enjoyed our time in the family friendly section but there is a private and secluded section for a 21+ crowd.

On a Friday, by way of the east bay, we made our way to Sterling Vineyards. Parking is ample. Check in is at the front upon entering along with the gondola and a shared restroom with individual stalls. While checking in for our chosen experience, we received our drink rings and tasting menu. The gondola is to left of check in, where we proceeded to after using the restroom (to the left of the gondola entrance). The gondola experience was quiet, smooth and scenic. At the gondola's end is the entrance to Sterling Vineyards. You are met with breathtaking views and vintage bells that ring every 15 minutes. The current gondola is the third installation since the vineyards opening. The installation occurred following the fires in 2020 that burned majority of the vineyard and its estate. At the first tasting, you receive your glass for majority of the tour. Here is where the ring received at check in goes on the stem of your glass. The gentlemen at this station are incredibly funny and was a treat to engage with. The older gentleman sung to Ashanti's sister for her birthday along with Zach Bryan. I'll be back for the oyster event in August, told him I'd like a song for my birthday - he said he'd be there. Can't wait! Wish I got his name...you know who you are! The tasting tour is self guided. Our experience was a tasting of six with the first three wines provided while walking, the last three were provided on the terrace with our charcuterie. Diego was the absolute best. He shared a lot of himself in the experience which I welcomed, he truly personalized our experience allowing it to be more authentic than business orientated. STERLING PLEASE START TO BOTTLE AND SELL THE BLOOD ORANGE HOUSEMADE JAM...PUHLEEZZZZZZ!!!! Kudos to the new chef, hers or his ingenuity is brilliant. We did not want the jam to end. The blood orange housemade jam is a sweet citrusy, blood orange jam with heat. It is the perfect ying yang pairing for anything and everything. Seriously! I'm SO EXCITED to see what else the amazing, newest chef of Sterling Vineyards has to offer...I'm ready to indulge in your imagination on a plate. Need a volunteer tester...I'm her!!! At the end of the tour (where the first tasting began), is a set of stairs directly in front. The stairs led to the Wine Gift Shop where there were wines, candles, cutting boards, assorted glassware, travel mugs in an assortment, edible goods, candies, tasting rooms, water fountain and restrooms. Here is where I signed up for membership with Sterling. The Sterling Vineyards Membership offers four membership tiers ranging in price of $185 to $400 per release. Releases occur five times a year (Feb, Apr, Jun, Oct, Dec) and members are required to honor three of the five release dates per year to maintain membership. Each release is customizable with the exception of a purchased gift membership. Shipments can be shipped for a flat rate ($25) or picked up. Pick ups offer access to ten complimentary tastings (for up to six people) in a tasting room and/or a walking self guided tasting. Birthday, anniversary, girls trip, boys trip, just because (as we did) any reason is a great reason to come, visit, experience the landscape, staff, service, food and winery of Sterling Vineyards.

Been driving pass Hall Wines for years and have never made a stop until recently. A friend in the…read morewine industry set up a tasting for us saying he highly recommends to visit Hall since we were in town with our two teenagers and dog. The staff was very welcoming and there were a ton of different locations to drop in and taste; upstairs at their artistic bar space, outside by the vineyards, on the patio, in the grassy area, etc. This place looks like they can accommodate and welcome everyone (including your well behaved furry family member). We had a reservation for the inside bar space. Joego (Joseph Ogo) was so much fun to taste with. He had the energy and conversations skills that are unmatched, making all of us feel welcomed, joking, sarcastic, serious, etc. He knows how to read the room and cater to his clients/customers. He took the time to understand our palettes and poured what he thought best suited our likes, and he nailed it! Big fan of the WALT pinot noirs! Definitely plan on coming back again in the future.

By the time we left, it honestly felt like we were leaving friends behind! She took the time to get to know everyone in our group and made the tasting feel so personal and fun. Her jokes and puns had us laughing the entire time (seriously, they were the best ). We were also in one of the coolest tasting rooms ever, which made the experience even more special. Between the amazing wine, beautiful setting, and Nashelli's incredible hospitality, this was one of our favorite winery experiences. We can't recommend her and Hall Winery enough!

We each chose different tasting flights so we could try a wider variety of wines, and Mike did a fantastic job walking us through everything.

During our conversation, I mentioned that I had never done a barrel tasting before, and Mike surprised me by arranging one for us on the spot. It was such a memorable touch and easily one of the highlights of our trip.
