The sunset!
Lilly C.

Beautiful winery with tons of outdoor seating overlooking the San Pablo Bay. We found a Groupon for 2 tastings (regular price $15pp) which allowed us to try 6 wines each. There were 3 whites and 3 reds, and each person received 1 ounce of each. After we finished those, we also tried the bubbly tasting ($7pp). Everything we tried was fantastic! For a Friday night, it was surprisingly quiet. We had the entire balcony to ourselves from 6pm when we arrived to when they closed at 8pm. It was such a treat watching the sun set during an unseasonably warm October evening (around 90deg) and seeing the boats, trains, and ducks go by. Service was attentive. My only complaint is that the seating and tables are quite dirty - dusty with lots of cobwebs, some spiders. Happy to come back again!

I got a Groupon from them and loved it. Mainly because this place was the first place that I was able to go to with my husband, since COVID. We had a great time. I presented my coupon, got our pours in plastic glasses and left with a couple of bottles of wine. There was a musical group playing and the music was fun. They had a variety of seating options inside and out and you have to be quick because people are arriving and will unwittingly take the seat you had your eye on. We sat by where we had a place to look out at the "water." It's not Hawaii, but it was fun. We sipped wine, looked out at the bay and relaxed. There was a tiny breeze which was nice. They had a cute little craft fair and had some food. Please have food with you because the sips are tiny, yet powerful. So food is necessary. Please note that parking is not easy. The parking space is tiny. They are a Harvest Host site so there are a lot of RV's parked and they are arriving and leaving. I got the second to last parking space and I'm glad that I did. The interesting thing is that I had no idea that they existed. I've talked to friends who didn't know that this existed. I do want to say that they have good wine. However, this place isn't fancy like the usual wineries that I've seen. But it's good enough and that works for me.

What'd I say?! A five star rating was coming and here it is folks! This was such an unexpected treat and I'd happily come back here with a vengeance for thirst! The Great: - Indoor and outdoor seating - Nice view from the outside seating - Great service - You can rent out one of their quaint rooms - They have events there like yoga and I remember hearing about karaoke so check out their website - Plenty of parking - Prices are reasonable for the wine tasting Could Be Better: - I remember only a few of the wine samples I had that I liked; most of them were EH. This is such a cool place to do wine tasting. It was actually for my birthday and we went to a previous winery prior to here but it wasn't good so a friend of mine recommended this place. Thank goodness he did because coming here was definitely a highlight for the celebration of YOURS TRULY.

Four Fools is a local gem hidden in the sleepy, often forgotten town of Rodeo, CA. Don't be fooled by the optics as you drive down Parker to , it's worth the slight detour to take the exit to check out the vibe and scenery at Four Fools. The views are amazing, the staff is personable, and the wines are tasty and will please any palate. Crafts made by local artisans are usually available for sale, there are food truck events, live music, yoga classes, RV parking is available, light comestibles (they were testing the possibility of offering charcuterie boards on a recent visit), and did I mention the views? For locals Four Fools is an ideal place to visit for a few hours to unwind, release, and relax without a lengthy drive. I'm ecstatic that Four Fools survived COVID and look forward to seeing how it continues to grow.

Having lived in the nearby section of the East Bay my entire life, it was shocking when a friend offered for us to join at a very local winery. Right up until the point of parking, I was still skeptical; and then we were at Four Fools Winery. This winery is interesting in that, IMO it is good at a little bit of everything while no particular mastery. The location is not at all far from the water and so provides a nice view for those that want to pay attention. But nice is about it, factually there is no conversation level view like of the GGB or the SF skyline. But thats ok. Parking is on gravel so heel-wearers be cautious. The entrance is basic and local-feeling, not all flashy like other places roughly an hour or so northeast. The benefit of this though would be to support local artists and talent and to buy souvenirs and trinkets that reflect the local culture, not Am@z0n. Staff was kind and talkative to the amount you the patron wants to be talkative, they kinda match your energy. And of course, the wine. The flight was good. The wines differed in flavor and texture so that in itself is always interesting. But nothing jumped out to really grab attention, and the flight could have been a little larger. Again, rating of good. So why go to Four Fools Winery? Two reasons for me. One - proximity. For where we live, this is way closer than Napa, Sonoma, Livermore, Santa Rosa or anywhere else. Cutting traffic time, distance, bridges and gas makes a big impact. And the view is still good if not grande. Two - balance. One more star would come if Four Fools really excelled in one or two areas. Instead everything is "good". However there is a value in that. Nothing is bad, and with everything good there is a sense of basic balance which in itself is a plus. And we plan to go back ourselves, so good isn't an acronym for something lesser or negative. So don't be a fool and pass up this local discovery, be a fool for Four Fools and get in there for a relaxing good time.

Cool little spot with tasty wine. The location is low key next to a trailer park area near the water. Parking is spotty. Seating is mostly outdoors. The event, music, and vibe attended was excellent. A few recommendations for the owner would be to add an additional food option on event days (besides one which had long waits) AND remove the uncomfortable outside rocks on the floor of the hang out/walking area. Would go back on an event day since it is close to home and overall a decent little hang out spot.

What a great hidden gem in the small town, Rodeo. Not sure what it was before, but it seems like the rooms are either for someone's living or lodging. You'll have to park below the overpass and walk up to the winery. On summer nights, they have food trucks and live music on every 3rd Thursdays. They have great views of the water and the sunset. Limited seating inside but plenty around the patio and in the back by the stage. They sell some white and red wines that they make on their own. I tried their syrah and zinfindel, the zinfindel was pretty light and tasty. The crowd is interesting, a lot of older people just hanging out and socializing. They also have local vendors around which is always good to support local businesses. It's a great place to explore if you haven't already and the views are unbeatable.

Food Truck Thursday has bought people together at Four Fools Winery. With live music this place surely gets attention. I came here because Curbside Kitchen is there during Food Truck Thursday. It is a nice place to come over. Suggestion is to park on the street, not where Four Fools Winery.

Such a beautiful find! I love the scenery. We did some wine tasting. Service was great. You can order in food from surrounding restaurants or bring your own. Order wine by the glass or bottle. Truly a treat.

Quaint and cozy venue with great views and excellent costumer service. Thank you Amanda and Mark.

Once a month, during the summer, the winery is opening for Food Truck Thursday. There have been 4 trucks and a cupcake stand each time we come here for this event. There isn't room for more; the winery shares the space with a boat storage area. They have had a live band playing in the event area each time we have come here. There is face painting for kids, a few community groups selling water and such, and of course, the wine is available by the glass or bottle. See my review below for more on the wines. What I like about this event other than good food and wine is I am able to sit on the patio or deck and look at the water and see boats and ships go by. If I'm lucky the peacock and the peahen will wander by they are not afraid of people. It is more enjoyable than sitting a table on the street at other food truck events. I like enjoying my wine where I can relax and not feel I have to swirl my glass and make just the right comments about the wine. Parking can be a problem the winery shares a space with a boat yard, however, there is parking available at the marina

What impressed me most was how conscientious they were about the details; nothing fell through the cracks despite the complexity of our setup. They were genuinely resourceful when it came to collaborating with me, making sure all creative visions aligned seamlessly. MOOI Weddings didn't just check boxes--they invested in understanding the overall aesthetic and made it happen flawlessly.

Saskia's expertise helped to reduce the stress that comes with wedding planning. I especially appreciated the month-of venue walk-throughs; those made me feel much more prepared and at ease. Saskia was also a wonderful partner to our other vendors and everyone felt good about where they needed to be and when. The day-of, Saskia was punctual, organized and a calming presence. I was so grateful to have her there. Our wedding day felt perfect, flowing exactly, if not better, than we imagined. I was super appreciative and impressed by Saskia's ability to perfectly bustle my dress, despite the complicated French bustle. Saskia and her team did an excellent job from start to finish and I am so thankful. I highly recommend MOOI!

Kristen is an absolute ROCKSTAR! Over the course of planning our wedding (which took the better…read morepart of 3 years thanks to Covid) she has become more than just a wedding planner to me, but someone I truly call a friend. She is the sweetest and most caring person and I found myself being able to talk to her about things beyond wedding details. Not to mention, she is absolutely spectacular at what she does. We hired Kristen for Design Planning and Month/Day-of-Coordination for our wedding at Solage in Calistoga. We wanted someone who was not only familiar with our venue but easygoing and fun to work with. Kristen was perfect! She worked with me on design (tablescape, floral, etc.) and helped make our vision come true while always being mindful of what we were comfortable with. When Covid struck, Kristen was a godsend and was there for us with support and guidance. She navigated us through two postponements and each time handled all of the logistics and worked with our entire vendor team to secure new dates and negotiate amended contracts. We didn't have to lift a single finger during that stressful period besides signing paperwork as Kristen did everything for us to ensure a smooth postponement process. As a planner, Kristen has a special way of making you feel like you are her only and most special client. She is incredibly responsive with emails and every interaction I had with her was just so thoughtful. She never once made me feel silly for reaching out even with the smallest of questions. She is creative, detail-oriented and thoughtful. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she helped me stay organized and executed changes effortlessly. When I was stressed dealing with last minute transportation logistics, she took it upon herself to take over the task and thanks to her many contacts in Napa Valley was able to secure the right post-wedding transportation for our guests. Ironically, when I was first researching Day-of-Coordinators, I recall reading a review from one of Kristen's brides that mentioned Kristen was amazing during times of crisis and helped her wedding go smoothly despite raging wildfires that day. I remember thinking to myself if, god forbid, our wedding was threatened by NorCal wildfires (which at the time was the most realistic scary thing that could happen), I would definitely want a planner capable of handling a nightmare scenario. Low and behold, Kristen didn't just "handle" our pandemic wedding planning, she crushed it. Our June 2022 Solage wedding turned out absolutely beautiful! The day flowed seemlessly and Kristen and her assistant Sonja were so organized and helpful, I never had to lift a finger. Most importantly, both were just all-around delightful to work with. I remember Sonja helping me stay calm right before I walked down the aisle because I was starting to feel so overwhelmed with joy I nearly bursted into tears. When my husband's shoes were starting to give him trouble, Kristen literally helped bandage him up! We've also had so many family members and other vendors tell us just how wonderful Kristen was to work with that day. I am almost saddened to write this review because not only does it mean my wedding is over, but also because my time working with Kristen has come to an end. If you don't read any of what I wrote above, just read this - hiring Kristen was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. From day 1 we were in good hands and while they say no one cares more about your wedding than you do, that cannot be said about Kristen. She cares as much about your special day as you do.

I must admit, I'm a little embarrassed to be writing this review so late! We hired Kristen for our…read more2019 wedding at Viansa Sonoma Winery. Based on our needs, we went with a day/month-of planning package with event design. While we were only contracted for 3 scheduled meetings together, working with Kristen meant having a trusted professional to bounce ideas off of over email or phone, with basically any and all questions about vendors, timing, rehearsal dinner ideas, etc etc. After having attended a few weddings after our own and seeing some of the behind-the-scenes, what we feel makes Kristen a fantastic wedding coordinator/planner for us was that she not only has a good eye for design and incorporating a couple's individual style into a wedding vision, but she is also incredibly organized, responsive, detail-oriented, trustworthy, thoughtful, and personable - everything that you want in someone who will be working with you to plan one of the most important days of your life! Before planning our wedding, I would have definitely considered myself a bit of a neurotic perfectionist; probably not a wedding planner's first choice of a bride/groom/couple! Despite this, Kristen never once made us feel silly or self-conscious about all the questions we had, and she was remarkably patient when we were indecisive or when we couldn't quite nail down the direction we wanted to go in. She was practical and gave great suggestions on which design details to commit to and leave behind if we felt like we were straying too far from our initial budget, and ultimately, we reached a design that we still swoon about. Prior to the wedding, she got in contact with each and every vendor and created detailed plans/timelines/layouts for our wedding day and venue to make sure everyone could be on the same page. Having all the details/specifics on paper and transparently communicated with us and our vendors put us at complete ease! What really made me come back and write a review over 2 years after our wedding (I am still kicking myself for somehow forgetting to do so right away!), is all the details and stories that have surfaced from friends and family to this day about everything Kristen and the Sugar Rush team were doing behind the scenes. The rehearsal was conducted so smoothly - there was no question about who needed to go where and when, and they left no stone left unturned. Details like - which way should we stand for the best light at the time of our ceremony, giving the bridesmaids and groomsmen visual markers in the ceremony space so they would know where to walk and where to stand, touching base with each speaker and confirming whether they wanted a mic or a lapel, when they would get tapped to mic-up on the day of the wedding and who they should look for if they have questions, where the wedding party could leave their belongings during the ceremony and throughout the night - the list goes on and on! Things you wouldn't even think to consider, Kristen and her team already had covered. I learned Kristen and the Sugar Rush team (Sonja and Madison) were always available to grab and hold onto sunglasses and personal items for our Moms and wedding party and always made sure personal belongings made it back to the right person. When my husband accidentally spilled red gatorade on his white dress shirt, Kristen was there with a Shout wipe to save the day. There were a few super minor hiccups (I think one table had one fewer chair, and champagne glasses weren't set at each table setting since the caterer thought these would be passed), but Kristen and her team quickly remedied the situation and I never even heard about it until months later! We got more wind than we were expecting on our wedding day, and Kristen quickly pivoted some of our design elements to ensure things wouldn't be blowing over during the ceremony and cocktail hour. She just had great instincts and judgment and was so on top of everything! It was like the Sugar Rush team was simultaneously so present, but so invisible throughout the night. I am so thankful to Kristen and her team for their services, both leading up to our wedding, and on the day of. For any couple on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator/planner - DO IT! I would choose Kristen and Sugar Rush Events again without a question!
