We were also fortunate enough to get some nice sunny weather on our visit. The outdoor seating was perfect for the weather. It did get a little windy later in the afternoon so I suggest you bring a jacket just in case if it gets chilly. On top of the scenery the service was great as well. The host greeted us and sat us right away. We ordered the wine flight since this is our first time at this vineyard we wanted to try everything. The wine connoisseur was really friendly, did a great job explaining each wine and timed out each pour perfectly. My personal favorite was the Chardonnay. Next time we're visiting the area we'll certainly be back for another wine tasting.

Initially, I booked a patio estate experience thinking the seatings were like the…read morephotos so was a bit surprised that the vineyard was on the smaller side with a few tables in door and a few seatings outside. Given the limited seating, I found it to be kind of misleading but my fault for assuming. We ended up ordering a bottle to share as we decided that we weren't going to stay for too long. The rose was good but hard for me to judge as I am not too expert with wine tasting. We got a cheeseboard which was $55 and decent? Service was also okay overall. Given their pricing being higher than other vineyards and it being on the smaller side, I would not personally return but loved the experience nonetheless. Great views and did like the atmosphere but would try other spots in area as there are so many.

The grounds here are very quaint, with a nice entryway of olive trees and a fountain. The concrete and modernish building and its outside patios are very cleanly kept. We sat outside at comfortable seating with some shade from trees. Our server was welcoming and friendly. She also was accommodating for one in our party who wasn't a Pinot fan. Their main wines consisted of Chardonnay and Pinot, with a few offsite vineyards used for Cabernet Sauvignon. I enjoyed their wines, though found them a bit pricy, even comparing to the more pricier Napa region that we more often frequent. That said, we came away with a few bottles. Being more local to Napa, we prob trended toward the more robust reds (charlatans!), so definitely liked the Akubra which was a bit off menu. Still, as a novice Pinot person and more of a reds guy, I still enjoyed their chard and Pinot enough to have them hold their own. We were recommended the place from a local, and didn't get a chance to hit many of the Edna Valley wineries on this particular trip, but felt satisfied in visiting this one before we set out for lunch. Worth a visit!

Our group have easily visited 250+ wineries and many of those we visited several times. We easily qualify as experts in the area of wine tasting. Based on our visit to Biddle Ranch as well as reviews I read the venue does not put an emphasis on hospitality. Our server (not educator) was nice but she seems to not care. Not care about selling wine, promoting or educating us about their wine and frankly or likes or dislikes. This behavior was repeated with other customers she was serving that day. If we are having a great time we reciprocate with numerous wine purchases and a generous tip. We only purchased the minimum to wave our tasting fees and could only justify the very minimum of gratuity. I truly hope management reads this post and invests time in better training their employees. We are in the area often and would love to have a spot to sip some wine before dinner. Based on this visit, I don't think so!

Stopped in at the end of the day for a final tasting. We were the only customers there, and the original owner's granddaughter poured for us. She had very interesting stories of the family's history, and we even got to meet her mother & father, the second generation owners of this winery. The wines we tasted ranged from a crisp Chardonnay, a slightly oaked Viognier, to a cool-climate Syrah. The property was originally a cow and dairy farm, and the old barn is still there. The tasting room has some cool "artifacts" like the cattle branding iron, which is also on the labels of the wines. There's a pleasant outdoor patio next to the tasting room, and we were told that they also have an area back in a small canyon where they host weddings and other events. Filipponi Ranch is a nice, little diversion when you're traveling through the area. It's located right off the 101. Definitely worth checking them out.
