We used to be members here and were excited to come back to show our friends. The experience was…read moreincredibly disappointing. The person serving us asked if we wanted to buy a bottle, and we said yes, but then he would pour us tiny portions and take the bottle away. He then asked if we wanted to try something else after the first pour. This further confused us since we thought we bought the bottle. But we the assumed we must not have if we was asking if we wanted to try something else. So he brought out an another bottle and did the same thing. Small pour and walked away with the bottle. We were late for another tasting so asked to check out. We noticed we were charged for the two full bottles but we never finished them. Then got a text later from the winery saying they forgot to send us home with the rest of the wine we had purchased. So turns out we had bought the two bottles but were never served the whole bottles. We said we were flying home and unable to get them and asked for a partial refund. They refused. Safe to say this one of the most bizarre experiences we've had at a winery. The customer service was lackluster. I saw other reviews about them being pretentious and I would have to agree. We will never return to this winery, will no longer purchase their wine in stores, and will actively advise friends to do the same.

We asked if we could walk them before a tasting and the server told us that we could also sit on the patio with them while we taste if we'd like. It was a cold day so she set up the fire table, our wines, and even dog treats. The wines were wonderful and we ended up buying two bottles. I love that they are organic. There was a beautiful view of the vineyard from the patio too! This will definitely be one of our favorite memories of the trip! Highly recommend!

The Pinot is exceptional - better than wine priced twice as much. From the moment you encounter Katie or Liz, you know you are in for something exceptional. I have stopped by a few times. There are times when they are slammed and other times in the year when you have more freedom to shoot the bull. I'm not sure if it's the winemaker or the founders or the land, but this wine rivals Burgundy in all aspects. Take time to add Dominio IV To your tour. It's worth the extra time to find them and to sit for a few hours.

It was so good that I had to buy a couple bottles. Note: Walk-ins allowed and welcomed, and 2 people can share 1 tasting.

The pictures are pretty deceiving as this isn't the typical distillery we were used to. The room/building you walk into is small and looks like a storefront you sell knick-knacks from. There are chairs and tables on the outside on a deck portion, but my partner and dad never made it out there. As soon as we walked in, it smelled heavily of weed and it was very obvious the gal helping us was high. We could tell by her eyes and she honestly just kept yapping and would not answer any questions my partner or dad had about the alcohol itself. While my mom and I sat outside not interested in tasting, we got annoyed of the music they had playing. It wasn't the music choice, it was the fact that the smaller bluetooth speaker it was playing off of was either dying or disconnecting constantly. And it was being played at an absurdly loud volume. We will not be coming back here unfortunately. The alcohol was not great by itself but would be better in mix drinks.

This meant to us initially that we weren't walking away without spending some good $$...with that said EVERY wine was smooth and tasty and honestly were reasonably priced. Here's the catch this family owned winery means you're meeting a place that cares more than about the $$ but also about the person/couple etc behind it It didn't take long for us to learn about his cute pup Lando and exchange puppy stories. The wine is reasonably priced with a touch of family. We became wine members not ONLY because we immediately felt like family at the tasting room but because NOT A SINGLE wine disappointed. Each one was unique and flavorful and had a good nose followed by a good full body and smooth finish. (Overally that describes MOST of the wine) HIGHLY recommend!

They probably won't like me mentioning, but the pours are generous for tastings and they didn't mind giving extra tastes or a glass on the house if someone in our party didn't drink reds, full glass of pinot gris for my mom, nice! Will be back for more, this is a stand out in the area with so many amazing neighbor vineyards.

The birdhouses in particular were absolutely lovely and added so much charm to the space. The tasting room takes walk-ins, and were greeted as soon as we entered and told we could sit anywhere. Our sommelier was absolutely delightful-- there were two women working and both were so, so friendly and made us feel very welcome. We tasted one white (a Chardonnay that I actually quite liked despite it being my least favorite white wine) and a number of reds. When they poured the various pinot noirs, they brought a second glass and had us do a side-by-side comparison. I absolutely LOVE it when tasting rooms make the effort to do this-- it really brings us the differences in the wines so you can tell what you're trying. We also tasted a red blend and a syrah. The syrah was my favorite. In the midst of us tasting the reds, the women pouring for us brought out a couple of chocolate hearts, which was really the cherry (or the chocolate) on top. It's been hard in the past couple of years to find people that offer such a wonderful experience at this price point ($20)-- especially if you're a younger person. I can truly say that this was wonderful, and we will absolutely return next time we are in the Valley.
