Unlike other tasting rooms they do not charge a flat rate tasting fee. In fact, they don't charge, trusting that you will want to buy a bottle or two instead, out of enjoyment or guilt (saying this in jest - their wine is perfectly nice and the guys there do know their wine).

Outside surrounding the space you'll find picnic tables and other seating scattered about. The day I visited it was a bit chilly and they even had blankets placed around to help keep us warm. Such a nice touch that went a long way. I didn't spend much time inside except for when I went to the bathroom, but it was nice and cozy, too. This place is family owned and operated, and of course, everyone is extremely knowledgeable about their wine, where it comes from, and all that stuff. My friends and I got flights, so we could try a little bit of everything. Each new wine our waitress poured came with a back story and I loved it. All of the wine we tried was great and I can't remember exactly what they were, but my favorites were the white wines, I know that. While they don't have food, we were welcome to bring food from outside so we grabbed a few pizzas from down the street to munch on while we were there. I'm not from the area, but I do visit every so often and I can totally see myself returning whenever that day comes.

Nice, crisp and fruity. The whites (Calaveras Chardonnay, Calaveras Viognier) on the tasting menu were good. The Pinot was good, a bit light. The best ones were the Old Vine Zin (blend) and the Ghirardelli Heritage Vine Zin. Our favs! Service was a bit slow which was a surprise since there were only 2 other couples. The experience was a bit different from what we're used to, no real explanation of the wines itself. Just serve and pour. Not really a winery we were real impressed with but cute.

The appetizer was the highlight of the meal. The fried chicken was just okay, and the short rib was a little fatty. Our friend's kid's pasta wasn't edible, and the kids' meal also came out much later than everyone else's. Our server was friendly and attentive, but the restaurant felt more like a bar than the dining experience we expected, and there were quite a few flies. After an amazing dinner at The Cabin the night before, this one just didn't live up to the reviews. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be back.
