From start to finish, the team was incredibly accommodating, professional, and genuinely invested in making our event a success. This was Viaggio Winery's first prom event, and they did an amazing job! Everything ran smoothly, the space was beautiful, and the atmosphere they helped create made the night truly special for our students. A special thank you to Shawn Sodhi and Fahad -- they were both so kind, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of and were always willing to collaborate and problem-solve with us. Our students, staff, and families had such a memorable experience, and we truly appreciate the care and effort that went into making the night so successful. We highly recommend Viaggio Winery for any event and would absolutely love to work with them again in the future! Thank you!

Their wine tasting flights rotate every month so make sure to be on the lookout for that. If you buy a bottle of wine after your tasting, the tasting fee is waived. Denise was the person who helped us and she was extremely friendly and welcoming. Another worker (I didn't catch her name) but she was also very kind to us and our dog. We sat outside & they kept checking on us and making sure our glasses were filled during our fasting. No reservations needed! Walk-ins welcomed & you can also order by the glass. They also have trivia night on Fridays! Can't wait to be back!

And as a professional courtesy Layne made sure that we all had wine in our glasses as we walked through the breezeway to the aging room. The learning tour was super interesting as we got to see the locally curated oak barrels, the authentic European barrels made of French oak, as well as the stainless steel tourine used to age M2s delightfully crisp Vermintino. After the tour we re convened in the main tasting room and sat at one of M2s super duper comfy soft seating sofas. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of 2020 Patina, a delicious jammy red table wine recommended by Layne the M2. Noteworthy m2 Wines that I sampled and loved: 1. The 2021 Mokalumne River Rose 2. The 2022 m2 Estate Vinyard Vermintino

I enjoyed the wine flavors here a bit better. I'm more for the lighter white wine selections these days. They gave me good options. The outdoor garden area with patio seating is pleasant. Their venue has a more modern and clean feel. It seems pretty relaxing. Some of the cutest pumpkins and gourds were displayed at the entranceway. The expanse of the vineyard itself is amazing in the forefront of blue skies and sunlight. Lots of parking is available on their gravel lot. What I do know, cuz of my sis, is that they're a dog-friendly establishment. (Please remember to bring appropriate snacks and drinks for the pups.)

Treated us with respect and kindness the whole time we were there, this would be our first time going there. But the two ladies behind the bar !wow! talk about purposely making you feel unwelcome, giving us side eyes... like if they were above us. I didn't like or appreciate that kind of attitude towards ANYONE this is a business there are certain protocols that need to be followed, regardless. We weren't being disrespectful or loud! In my family We are taught very early on to be very RESPECTFUL. Anyways, I put my feelings aside and I didn't let the two females ruin MY day. We had a wonderful time, Because we chose to dust off the bad vibes. And make it a memorable day with my sisters and friends. I probably will be going somewhere else, the next time I want to do wine tasting again. IMPROVE; I would say maybe a lesson in bedside manners for the 2 ladies behind the counter. We too have all color friends. And welcome them with open arms. * I do want to say to our tour guide T you were so kind on Saturday. Thank you!

Even my husband, a strictly red wine drinker, fell in love with their wines and atmosphere. We started with a portfolio flight of stills and sparklings, each one was its own unique, yummy, and delicious experience - not a single one disappointed, but our favorite was the Impartation. The color is light, but the flavor is bold and had my husband forgetting that he's "not a rosé guy." The wine experience alone would bring us back, but the icing on the cake is the people and the grounds. Sammy was amazing and instantly made us feel welcome and invited our dog to roam around and explore inside while Sammy poured wine and gave us some history on the winery and winemaker. Then as we thought our visit was wrapping up, Vivian (founder and winemaker) and Peter came in to visit with us, treating us like we were all long-time friends. At that point we grabbed a glass of wine and were taken on a tour of the grounds where we were invited to take a peek in the beautiful and cozy cottage they rent out for overnight stays. From there we walked down to the river and the deck overlooking the water, which is also available for reservations if you want to relax and enjoy the wine with nature and a couple friends. We have never felt so welcome at a winery, and we did not want to leave. The whole experience was lovely and luxurious. We will definitely be back!

Told us about upcoming events. We came around the last hour of closing but she did not make us feel rushed at all and she serviced us feeling happy about leaving the place and wanting to come back for more. My husband tried the Rose tasting and I tried the sparkling so we can try all 6 you get 3 tastings for $15 and you can do 4 for $20. I can honestly say I loved all their sparkling wine. The rose was also good the OMFG was the one I like the most. The smell was not to my liking for the rose but that's because I enjoy more of the sparkling. One rose was like a version of an old fashion. She described it perfectly! Would definitely come back to this place. Definitely recommend as a date or with your girlfriends.

Free Wine Tasting/Friendly Staff…read more What first drew me to Dancing Coyote was their name--sounding whimsical and Southwestern. When we drove up to their site, I wasn't really sure where it was located as the existing buildings looked like old industrial buildings, not your standard winery and tasting room. My partner and I guessed it had been a granary--it was built in 1868 right next to the raIlroad tracks, and was later converted into a winery in the early 1900s. Back then that initial winery became famous for their Port, and also made vinegar and brandy. We sat at the tables outside. I asked the server if anyone was living in the tall granary tower because we had noticed that the windows looked like they were fitted with stained glass. She answered with a chuckle, that only ghosts live there. Dancing Coyote has an interesting history. It is family run, and they have been farming the Delta region for five generations. They grow and harvest the grapes. They also do the crushing, aging and handcrafting the final product. The winemaker uses natural wild yeast that derives from the surfaces of the grapes to actually ferment the products on the flight that we tasted - they were really good and yummy on their own natural merits with a bright finish. Of course, I had to run around and experience this winery's own unique brand with my own eyes and camera in hand. There were several fig trees in which I found a perfectly ripe fig to eat. There was was this orange stuff "growing" on some of the outside walls that I had to touch, and then scratch my head because I couldn't figure out what it was. Near the fig trees, hidden from the eyes of most.of the two-leggeds that visit the winery, is a diagram painted on a rather large propane tank. Who painted it? Was it a human that "dances with coyotes"? I tried and tried to duplicate the dance that the artist painted on the tank. The trickster that painted that mural is probably laughing at the thought of people trying to follow the dance diagram. Their flights were FREE!!! There were four different wines included: 3 whites and 1 red. I usually prefer drinking red over white, however, there was something uncommon with their white wines--a certain kind of freshness/aliveness. I really liked how it felt in my mouth. After tasting those wines she brought three more wines for us to taste. We fell in love with their 2016 Loureiro - a Portuguese varietal. They had a special for $48 for a case, and we snatched it up in a heartbeat. We plan to return in our next visit to the Lodi wine making region to the same place, and see what other new vinicultural gifts that they have to offer us.

With all of the wineries in Lodi, it can be a difficult decision where to stop in at! We visited…read moreStonum Vineyards a few weekends ago and were delighted with the rustic yet charming ambiance of the winery. We were quickly greeted by the friendly female hostess who offered us either indoor or outdoor seating. We chose to sit indoors to enjoy our tastings of both whites & reds . Normally I prefer reds however in the summer I enjoy a crisp Sauvangion Blanc or even a nice Rose. If you purchase a bottle your tasting fee is waived which is always a great deal. We enjoyed ourselves so much we returned for the Alpine Block party event which included tastings at Stonum Vineyards and two other nearby wineries. This fun filled evening included live music, food trucks, and the Lodi Wine trolley shuttling you back & forth between the wineries. Definitely a good time! I highly recommend Stonum Vineyards & Tasting Room for great wine, friendly service and well coordinated, entertaining events.

I had driven by many times and it seemed like an appointment only place but I guess now they have enough staffing to open up the hours and days of the week. First, their reputation has always been very good. They've had some recognition from some reputable wine sources so I had very high expectations for the wine. In, short, the wines were very good. They had a nice selection from rose to the more Lodi styled red wines. I really did enjoy all the wines and the price point seems fair. I guess I was kinda hoping to meet the winemaker, learn more about their vineyards and purpose for growing certain varietals. When you get wine with a story it makes the experience that much more enjoyable. I really like this place and I'm hoping to make a stronger connection with the business since I consider myself an advocate for Lodi wines since my hobby is to compare our wines with the best out in the other regions of CA. Pretty heavy competition but so far Lodi is more than able to compete with certain types of wines aka Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Syrah and occasionally Cabernet.

Did a quick search on yelp and as always, it delivered. I found that when I drink wine, I need something to eat with it or I don't feel good. I guess I can blame middle age for that lol. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. We got there on a Sunday afternoon about an hour before they closed. The tasting room is big and airy and they have a huge woodfired pizza oven. There was live music playing, and it was really quite good. It was just a little loud inside, but we got a flight of white wines and a gigantic charcuterie board. I thought the Italian inspired white wines were great, I especially enjoyed the Greco Bianco. It's dry but fruity with a nice round mouthfeel. The tasting room attendant that poured my wines was very nice, but she was low on knowledge of what the wines actually were. I've been drinking wine for a long time and I like to know a little bit about the grapes in blends. Fortunately, one of her coworkers was able to fill-in for her on the knowledge. The cheeseboard was piled high with different cheeses, if you cured meats, a bit of grapes and some really tasty candied nuts. And the marinated vegetable/olive blend was to die for. They also gave you a huge basket of crackers. I do think it was missing a little bit of a jam, maybe an apricot or a fig purée or a small slice of Membrillo. But I would still get it again. I'm excited to have found this business. It's only 30 minutes from Sacramento. They will be having live music Friday evenings and then on Saturdays and Sundays. A great weekend activity! Will absolutely return to the business.

At the time it was an intimate tasting room with a pretty entry area. (She said they do still sell the bread but only generally more around the holidays and that it disappears quick!) I'll have to keep checking in because I remember loving it. Now revisiting probably 8yrs later I'm seeing the beautiful space that either somehow went unnoticed or just wasn't part of the entry point my first time in. (During my time here I learned that the spaces mentioned didn't exist the last time I made my way here (2017/2018ish). The grounds here are beautiful and absolutely somewhere I could bring my work or a book and just relax with a glass of wine, simultaneously taking in the views. The $15 fee (which is incredibly reasonable for what you see nowadays!) included 6 Portuguese style wines to sample. The Vino Cor de Rosa was a bit on the sweeter side for my liking. The Verdelho had a citrus/fruit note that I enjoyed with a green apple like finish. The Touriga was one I'd keep stocked. It had the nice dark fruit feel that I very much enjoy in a red. The type you want to keep flowing with a pasta (or even a hearty meat craving if you ask me!) The Souzao I'm not quite sure how to explain. Continuing my "Basic B" level of descriptions, it has almost a cola or Dr. Pepper taste to it (in a good way despite how odd my choice of description may seem!) The Syrah to me reads like a lighter port, though u can't quite pinpoint what brings me to that conclusion. Lastly, the Trincadeira was a nice seemingly light red that I wouldn't mind on the balcony with my book. It amazes me that with the grounds they have, they don't host much in the way of winery events (though they do host many private events). I can appreciate that it isn't the direction they're looking to go... but perhaps some day!

Upon arriving, I could already feel the serenity of this winery. The weather was perfect when we went, as the sun was shiny brightly, and the trees surrounding us gave us perfect shade. Dogs and children are allowed, making this such a family friendly winery. They have a covered area that is perfect for large parties also, adding a touch of privacy. We were fortunate to have live music, which added to the relaxing time we had at Macchia Wines. We appreciate how they allow us to bring our own food, so we could pair the wines with our food for our picnic. We enjoyed the flights we tasted so much, that we each bought more than one bottle to enjoy back home. Thank you to the staff who took care of us at Macchia Wines!

They're texting behind the bar while serving using voice text which was actually quite funny. But just strange when you're wine tasting, They are all a little frazzled when it got just a bity busy and we're not communicating with customers or each other well. Made everyone uncomfortable. Then the way they addresses my kids and my wife were just pretty sad. They have a nice park like area with grass, swing seating, and a huge sign that says "it's all good" lol. I'm standing right there when an employee comes and tells my kids and their cousins, who were all sitting quietly on the swings, "this isn't a park and these are not swings you swing on, you can't be over here". Mind you that they are actually have chained porch swings and the kids were using them appropriately. Later she comes up to my wife randomly and says we have a rule that "all kids must remain seated the entire time". Which I think she just made up to be honest. And the kids were being very well behaved. My party bought two cases of wine, nearly $700 and we're having a get together at the winery.... and it was not busy outside. Just relax people.... or put some signs up outside and online that say "no kids allowed" if you want to be a bunch of weirdos. Or even better, be kind and welcoming.
