The drive was pleasant and beautiful, and it was a good day to be out. As we approached Le Crema, we were romanced by the surrounding countryside. As we got inside, we walked up to the tasting room and then took our wine and went outside and enjoyed the view and the tasting. It was so wonderful. I wound up buying a couple bottles to take home with me and so did my daughter. A pallet is a very strange thing to explain to people because my taste and what I think about that wines flavors and nuances it really varies from person to person. But I was so impressed with this lovely product. If I wasn't there, wouldn't be those two bottles in my car. I recommend this winery and the people that work there were very, very nice and hospitable. The drive was exceptional. Beautiful.

When we arrived I was amazed at how beautiful the estate is and the vineyards are well kept and breathtaking. As we entered the estate we were greeted my the host as my friends had reservations and since it was a hot day we did our tasting inside with a wonderful window view of the vineyards. We were each giving a glass of the Pinot Noir Rose which was absolutely refreshing and delicious this was actually my favorite wine. We had wine tasting of both Red and White wines. I am more of a Pinot Noir drinker than Chardonnay. Every tasting we had was really good, but no of them topped that fantastic Rose. Ursula, I believe was her name was our wine host is she was amazing and explained the different wines and the vineyards and where their grapes are grown. After out tasting we had a really nice picnic outside and enjoyed each others company. I would definitely come back without a doubt.

Because we were staying in Windsor overnight and had a wine club release party at Martin Ray starting at noon, I looked for small places off the beaten path but still close to where we needed to be. I happened upon Campana Ranch thanks to Yelp. Reading the reviews, I thought that this winery fit everything I was looking for - mom-and-pop style, good atmosphere, kind staff. I sent an email to inquire about a visit, and Sher responded quickly. We arrived a few minutes early and were content to sit outside the gate until 10AM rolled around (yes, we're those people). Steve was outside working to set up the tasting area and saw us waiting. He came to let us in (still a couple minutes before 10) and greeted us with a handshake and smile. We were off to a great start! He explained how Campana Ranch came to be and pointed out some of his barrels-in-progress. He gave us the option of sitting outside on the little patio or inside with a heater - we opted for the inside of his small, quaint, work space. He sat with us for almost 2 hours and guided his through his fantastic wine. Steve knows his art (and his grapes) and provides a bit of magic in each bottle, showcasing the grapes, the terroir, and his craft. We joined the club - how could we not?! He is such a personable and welcoming gentleman, and let's be honest, his wine is excellent. If you like non-commercial, quaint, bold reds, and truly feeling welcomed and then educated, Campana Ranch is the place for you. Thank you, Steve, for being such a great teacher and host!

Being a first time patron I opted for the House Wine Flight and charcuterie, so that I could get a little taste of everything. The charcuterie had salami, duck breast, 2 cheeses, nuts, prosciutto and olives/peppers. I'd definitely order this again... a nice smokey duck breast with any glass of wine is fine by me! While I enjoyed each of the wines I tried (Sauvignon blanc, Rose, Chardonnay, Pinot noir, Syrah and Malbec), I don't know that any one style screamed out at me more than the next. The Sauvignon and Rose were probably the two more at the top for me. I look forward to not only checking out this cute town again, but also spending some time at Baldassari to see what else they have to offer!

Pros: -Dog friendly! -As someone who doesn't often drink, I liked the selection of wines we tasted. -Free tasting of Rosé during check-in. -Beautiful location & views -Charcuterie board looked beautiful and had some tasty snacks and fresh fruits. -Good service! -Nice music Cons: -Even with a reservation, we had to wait 20 minutes (in the rain) to be seated. -If you're hungry, like I was, the only option are charcuterie boards that are $60-65. Pretty steep price!! There are cheap small a la carte snack options, like shortbread, chips, and crackers, but I needed more than that. A mini version of the board for half the price would have been appreciated as an option. For the price I paid, it would have been nice if the $65 Elevated Salumi Plate had more cheese. Eat something before you get here and save money. Overall, a pleasant wine tasting experience in a lovely location!

Gracianna is not a huge commercial winery nor is it a massive producer. It's unforgettably quaint, intimate, and personalized. We stayed at their adorable Airbnb for a few days. The space was super clean, welcoming, and stocked with all the basics. The views are amazing. The wines were all top level, super approachable, and we loved every pour; our faves were the Zins and Pinots. The service is what really sets this experience apart... Trini was incredibly responsive. We were beyond lucky to have Lafayette as our server. He made the wine tasting feel like a chill, relaxing get-together. Not only is he knowledgeable, but also relatable and warm/inviting. We never felt rushed (actually overstayed our tasting bc time flew) and got a lot of amazing recommendations.

We've always loved their wines, and we're very excited to enjoy a glass of wine in their beautiful setting. We were greeted at the front desk and turned away by a snotty, arrogant, and entitled staff. Never have I been treated in such a disrespectful way. We didn't have a reservation and were not allowed to even order a glass of wine. We were told we could walk through the garden but "make sure you don't sit on any of the furniture". It was delivered in such a snotty and condescending manner. We ended up going down the road and spent the afternoon at Twomey. We discovered our new favorite wine, and it wasn't Flowers. They lost 4 lifetime customers today all due to a snotty staff and a most unwelcoming vibe. I'd suggest you open up some slots for walk ups who may just want to order a bottle of your wine and enjoy it in the sunshine. It's too late to win us back...because now we'll always think of your brand as snobby and arrogant. And, who needs to be made to feel that way when there are so many other choices.
