What a great time! My wife and our best friend's spent some time at this tasting room/winery. We…read morelearned so much about the wines of this winery and this region. The tasting was wonderfully hosted by Shirley. She sat with us under a beautiful oak tree and shared good wines and stories. Shirley and this place were so charming. Off the beaten path with views of the valley. We had such a great time. Opening each bottle that we brought home reminds us of the time we spent at Alta Orsa Winery. Can't wait to go back. Jared

The vineyard pup, Ocho, also kept us warm company on a chilly, rainy day. That's an experience we will talk about forever and we wish Shirley, Martin, and the whole crew all the success and love in the world. love, Sophia, Rache, and Brittany

We were camping at Clear Lake State Park and didn't realize that nearby Lake County and Kelseyville…read morehad an abundance of wineries, some within 15 minutes of the park entrance. We camped during the week and naturally there were very few tasting rooms open. When we were tasting at Mt. Konocti Winery, the awesome ladies there called the owner of Rosa d'Ora to see if he was open and/or willing to let us come by and taste his wines. He immediately told us to come around - what great customer service. We drove over to Rosa d'Ora, this place is about 14 acres of grape and some olive trees. There is plenty of parking and it is a rustic place but charming. The place is not easy to find, the map tended to take me somewhere else but once you take the exit, it is right as you turn off the freeway. The owner came out to meet us and took us, not into the main tasting room, but into his office where he poured us whatever he had open. Since my friend and I are both are not red wine drinkers, we tasted a couple of sparkling wines and 2 chardonnay's. The second chardonnay was very different, hard to describe but good enough that my friend bought a bottle. The owner is an older gentleman who just enjoys the slow paced life and growing wine and olive oil. We didn't taste any olive oil but he talked about why he started the winery, how big it was, who helps him (his son) etc. It was a very enjoyable 1/2 our and he didn't even charge us for the tasting. Not sure how much a tasting would be normally but around Kelseyville, they tend to be around $15, which is waived if you buy a bottle. The service was fantastic, the weather cooperated and the conversation and wine were fabulous. I would highly recommend this hidden gem!!

We went to Clear Lake in a family vacation for New Years Eve. We decided to go wine tasting and we…read moreended up at Rosa d'Oro winery. It was the best wine tasting experience I've ever had. Nick was so personable. We talked about the wine making experience and how Rosa d'Oro came to be, family. To top it off the wine is amazing. The Chardonnay is superb and I'm not a white wine type of person. I prefer reds. All the red we had were so delicious. My husband and I ended up purchasing a case of wine. Since we enjoyed the wine so much we decided to stop by on our way home (8 hour drive) to purchase another case of wine. Thanks Nick for such a great experience and for making such delicious wine. We will be ordering wine in the future.

Without a doubt the Roederer Estate is the best producer of sparkling wines in the United States…read more In my opinion, if you want a sparkling, you can't beat one of the ones they have in their lineup! My personal favorite is the Anderson Valley Brut. It has a dry, crisp sharp oak-aged taste. The taste comes from the magic of the Anderson Valley. It is a long narrow valley that funnels in the cold fog from the ocean which drops the temperature and slows the ripening of the grapes. It's hard to beat this stuff!

We camped during the week and naturally there were very few tasting rooms open. After driving to a few places only to realize that they were closed, we randomly picked the closest pace to where we were and called them. Charlene picked up and when I asked if they were open, she wanted to know when we were coming by, I said in 5 minutes and she asked us to come on down. I wondered why she asked about when we wanted to do the tasting but when we got there, we realized that they were not open but since they were there, they let us come by to taste. I am blown away by the friendly folks in Kelseyville. Charlene, the owner's daughter did the pouring for us, the sparkling pear wine was out of this world. Since we only wanted to taste whites, she went out of her way to pick 5 whites for us. The tasting room is small and can fit about 5-10 people but then they spill out into the warehouse and do the tasting there. This place is a big production, a family vineyard but not a 10-20 acre place. Not sure how large it is though. All the wines were great and my friend picked up a bottle of the sparkling pear. Tastings are $15 each but Charlene waived both our tasting fees when we bought the one bottle. They even went as as as calling another winery to see if they would take us even though they were also closed. I would highly recommend this winery, I would go twice!!

We were camping at Clear Lake State Park when we realized that Kelseyville, where the park is…read morelocated, has an abundance of wineries. The closest was Chancewater and it is also open 7 days a week as opposed to most places in the area that are only open during the weekend. There is plenty of parking and you walk into a bar area that is set up for tastings. But we decided to sit in the larger tasting area that has their wines, barrels etc. They also sell seasonal vegetables at the bar which is a nice touch. They offer olive oil tasting but I didn't want to mix wine and oil so we didn't try the olive oil but I will definitely go back for that. They had many olive oil products for sale - soap, lotions etc. We were greeted by 2 hostesses who offered us a choice to sit at the bar or the tasting room and we choose the tasting room, it had a better ambience. We went on a Tuesday late afternoon, just before they closed at 5pm and we had the place to ourselves. The tasting room has room for at least 50 people without it feeling crowded. You get a choice of 7 tastings for $15 and you can pick what you would like to taste and we picked all whites. We had the 3 white and rose, 2 reserve whites (chardonnay and Sav Blanc) and 2 sweet wines. I am not a fan of Sav Blanc or sweet wines but the ones we tasted were very good. Their chardonnay was well worth the trip by itself. The hostess was friendly and knowledgeable and very engaging. I took one star off for the pours, they were very minimal but delicious. I would highly recommend the place and look forward to the olive oil tasting as well next time!
