Outside patio drinking Barbera wine and celebrating Grandpa Bills Birthday /celebration of life
Kimberly R.

This 5 star review is because Janet was so sweet & very knowledgeable of the wines we tasted . Wow! Free wine tasting? That's almost unheard of these days . We loved the Barbera & The dessert wine . We bought both. We sat outside, the grounds are pretty and staff was also very friendly. They are constantly bringing you water so that was nice. They do not serve food , only minimal snacks so bring your own . We got 2 tiny trays they sell with cheese and salami. $18 was I bit steep when they cost like $4 at sprouts but our fault for not bringing any crackers or snacks . Other than that, we loved our time at Cooper Vineyard .

Nice property, they have picnic areas. Tastings are free. We didn't care for the wine but that's just our personal taste. Staff was friendly. They do bring you each wine in a "carafe" for the table and you pour yourself. They do briefly tell you a bit about the wine, pouring it yourself was a little different. If you'rein the area I'd say it's worth a vusit.

Beautiful winery

I was lucky enough to get into this private event for a select few Yelpers to come and enjoy their wines along with bbq from Billy Bones catering and live music. We had free wine tasting and if it wasn't for Yelp, I wouldn't have known about this establishment since these wines aren't sold in stores. Upon check in, I was handed a goody bag with wine foil cutters, unlimited wine tastings, and a voucher for free bbq lunch for me and hubby. Doug, our sommelier was very entertaining and knowledgeable. It was quite a difficult choice choosing a bottle but ended up buying two with a ten percent discount. We met up with some friends and enjoyed our food on one of the many picnic tables under the mature trees. The band played, weather was beautiful and Cooper vineyards was the perfect setting to end my Yelp weekend in the Gold Country. Thank you Cooper wines for your generosity. We're glad we didn't pass this up!

If you're looking for a fun wine tasting experience along the Shenandoah wine trail, you should definitely add Cooper Vineyards to your list! Cooper was the last winery that I visited while out in Amador County and it left a great lasting impression. I attended a barbecue and live music event which featured barbecue from Billy Bones BBQ and a complimentary tasting of their featured wines. Babs assisted me in the tasting room and she was such a delightful host! She gave a very detailed description about each wine that I tasted and explained a little bit of history about Cooper Vineyards. Cooper Vineyards is known for their lusciously smooth Barbera and rightfully so! I indeed loved the smoothness of both their 2016 Barbera and their 2015 Reserve Barbera. However, my favorite of the bunch was their 2017 Viognier which was crisp, light and fruity. I've been trying to expand my white wine collection, and this Viognier was the perfect addition to my wine rack! But, I have a feeling that it won't stay there for long, especially since the weather is still warm out. Their indoor tasting room has a very classic feel to it. It's filled with aging barrels and has two different tasting bars that are lined up on the opposite side of each other. Both tasting bars were lively and the sommeliers are very social and interactive here. Their indoor tasting room actually opens up to their back patio area where they have small platform that is used as a stage for live performances. They had a great live band playing during my visit and they were killin' it up on that stage! This winery is dog friendly and there's a large grassy field near the entrance that's perfect for dog play or even to lay out and have a picnic. They also have a few picnic tables out there if you aren't a fan of being in the grass. When you first pull up, you'll see their iconic work truck parked right on their lawn. I posed with a friend while sitting on the truck and the pictures came out great! Billy Bones BBQ was absolutely delicious! They were catering the event but I just learned that they will be exclusively catering for Helwig Vineyards in the future. Be aware of the meat bees if you're planning on eating here! They won't sting you, but they can be very annoying, especially if you're afraid of bugs and insects the way that I am. Cooper is surrounded by the prettiest vineyards! The vineyard views are a'plenty here. Everyone that I came across was extremely friendly and hospitable. I'm glad that I made Cooper Vineyards my last stop! Hoping to do a tasting here again when I'm back in Plymouth.

In my opinion, they are doing so many things to enhance the wine tasting experience, it could blow away the competition. Examples are as follows: 1. Rebuilding, refinishing and updating the tasting room and facility. 2. Hiring the former Sous Chef from Taste restaurant to create food offerings/pairings and provide a small bite sample with wine tasting. 3. Display unique and unusual art in and around the property. (They have seven full size panels from the Berlin Wall adjacent to the tasting room.) 4. Staff is exceptionally friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. 5. The wine pricing is reasonable when compared to the quality. 6. Both the food and wine are excellent. That said, I think the one possible stumbling point could be their attempt to blend in their east coast sister wines and styles with this region. It might be an interesting idea, but I am uncertain people locally will appreciate or understand the effort. The Amador wine region is not Napa Valley, and I don't think it possesses the international appeal, notoriety or demographics that will support the concept of bi-coastal wines. In any event, we will return to further experience the ongoing evolution of this remarkable winery.

Thanks to Tiffany K. for her review and have convinced me to try Di Arie Vineyard & Winery. I made…read morereservation in advance by email because no one answered the phone and no option to leave a message. When I got there, they didn't have my name for reservation. I had to show them the email confirmation. It was fine and we were still able to sit down right away. The inside wine tasting room is kind of small but the outdoor patio and area makes up for it. It is quite big and open. I think someone can host an outdoor concert or a wedding. We got to taste about five type of wines (Sauvignon Blanc and few blended red wine). They were all good. I particularly like the 2020 Interlude and purchased a bottle for my sister. We also got to sample from their gallery collection library club that's like 20+ years old ( I forgot the exact year) and that was special. They also have dumplings and spring rolls for purchase. I skip that because I wasn't sure if that would go with the wine. We bought some cheese with us and we had that with our wine. Of course, we asked for permission before bringing in our own cheese and crackers. The gentleman that served us was really nice and friendly. We didn't feel rushed and wine was poured at a good pace. I do want to mention that most winery at Amador will comp at least one tasting with purchase, but not at Di Arie. If you're not a member, be prepared to pay the full wine tasting fee per person.

They did their pairings with a Mediterranean lunch. This was also amazing. They also providdd a tasting of their more recent wines, 2019 Sierra Legend! It's a Terri blend of Cab Sauvignon, Cab Franc, Syrah and Primitivo! The host and hostess were all very friendly and knowledgeable! And of course to meet and chat with the wine maker himself, Chaim, was a wonderful treat! The grounds were small, but very cute and relaxing. It made for a warm, friendly ambiance! Of course we walked away with a case of the Sierra and the 3 OG vintage wines! We're definitely coming back in a few weeks. Thank you Di Arie!

Dan didn't just pour wine -- he made people feel welcomed, appreciated, and like they were part of the Villa Toscano family. Whether it was your first visit or your fiftieth, Dan had a way of remembering people, connecting with them, making them laugh, and turning a tasting into a memorable experience. His personality, professionalism, humor, and passion for wine made him unforgettable. The turnout on his last day spoke volumes. People didn't just come to say goodbye to an employee -- they came to say goodbye to someone who genuinely impacted their experience and became part of what made Villa Toscano special. Dan set the standard for hospitality, and there's no doubt his presence will be deeply missed. At the same time, congratulations to Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants in Scottsdale, Arizona for landing one of the absolute best in the business. Their guests are about to experience exactly why so many people thought so highly of Dan here in Amador County. Villa Toscano was lucky to have him, and Cooper's Hawk is lucky to have him next. Wishing Dan nothing but success in this next chapter.

Apparently, this is the related winery to Villa Toscano located nearby, which we had previously visited. Once again, I found myself a fan of this place also! It too, is surrounded by eye pleasing countryside views, with lovely ponds, fountains, flowers and comfortable seating areas along the outdoor patios. The entrance opens into a large room where the tasting counter is at the far end. But before getting there, you are tempted on the way over to browse the retail area which features home decor, artwork, designer accessories, and clever wine connoisseur gifts. The walls are decorated with assorted flags and a family style crest over the focal point of the wine tasting bar. The wines offered on the wine tasting list were similar to what we had tried before at Villa Toscano. But we ordered another $5.00 flight that included our favorites along with a few we hadn't tried yet. We enjoyed the flavor variations, but had a hard time deciding on what to purchase, so we went outside for a while to take in the scenery and discuss which ones we liked the best. Bella Piazza also offers a wine club membership that includes discounts on wine, other products and a free lunch buffet every weekend. This is another nice little winery to spend time with family and friends!
