I love the ambience with the wonderful views of the valley. I was telling my friends it's like going all the way to Napa or Sonoma but it's in Soledad! I really liked the cheese and salami that Jorge offered with the crackers they give you the cutest wooden plate with a knife so you can serve/cut yourself. They even have jams! We brought some bottles home and really enjoyed them also. 5 stars and beyond! Wecan't wait to go again!

My party of 4 visited the winery on a Sunday afternoon. The wine host explained that they had a…read moreparty on property for the day and were sold out of a few of their wines. He walked us through our options in terms of tasting for the day and we got started. We tasted through 6 wines and made ourselves a picnic on the deck located outside with a nice view. Our wine educator was friendly and accommodating to our group of 4 that were not tasting the same wines. Overall, my favorite wine I tasted was the 2021 Grenache. CRU specializes in Pinot and Chardonnay which are not my favorite varietals but I would still recommend this winery to anyone in the area looking for a nice spot to enjoy a picnic and good wine.

However, my group got a table and we were greeted right away by I forgot her name already but she was blonde and beautiful and just the sweetest thing! We went for the sparking wines which were all delicious. We didn't have the best experience just coming from Pessagno so this place was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely be back and will definitely recommend to others to give them a try. Look out for their events on their social media pages.

Thanks so much for a short but wonderful experience!

It was such a great way to end the day. Michael Michaud is a true artist when it comes to vino. Crafted in the French style variety, you will surely find something, if not several, to suit your palate. Not only that, he is a sweet and charming man. Top picks when I visited: 2015 Sangiovese 2015 Marsanne Up and coming on the list are a White Grenache, Tempernillo, Cab Franc, Barbera... Holy smokes! I cannot wait for those! Although when you drive to the tasting room you may have the feeling of "Where the heck is this place?" or "Are we ever going to get there?" Be patient. You will, and it is well worth the drive. There are signs to guide you along the way as well. One last thing... Be sure to plan your visit, because at this time, it is by appointment only.

I have to admit that Alejandro, the person who took care of us, was very attentive to our needs even though it was busy. I had gone to other wineries and hadn't received the same service.

Nice folks + solid wine + no crowds = good tasting room experience…read more The wines were generally solid, though none stood out as particular "must haves." It seems like they were going for more delicate flavors in general, which may suit some people more than others. The estate-grown Pinot had an interesting spicy note and the Chardonnay was crisp and flavorful. The Cuvée Louie was a nice Bordeaux-style blend as well. We had the tasting room to ourselves and thus were able to learn a lot about the wines and the vineyard by chatting with the folks there. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Tasting was $20 a person, so prices seem to have gone up since previous Yelp reviews. Worth a stop though, especially if you're already driving down River Rd. between some of the other wineries.

Finding a winery still open at 6 PM, later than most wineries in the area, Mr. B was testing me…read more When I am already crotchety from sugar lows, he has a ticking time bomb on his hands. And he, on the other hand, god forbid he miss a winery on our trip south down the 101. But Manzoni turns out to have been a good stop. The valley and wine trail (aptly named River Road Wine Trail) that parallels a lazy river, offers a beautiful view of the rich agriculture in the area. The east facing vineyards overshadowed by golden Central California hills/mountains, fall colors, rich soil, framed by a peaceful farming community makes it unique and special. The tasting room is unimpressive. The server, friendly. The wine, the 09 syrah, was lovely. There were other wines that did not impress, but they also offered a port that was smooth and went down easily. The syrah came home with us at $28 a bottle. And the only reason we passed on the port was because we already have too much good port stored at home. And in nearby Gonzales, Mr. B took care that his non-wine drinking wife got some excellent sustenance. So all was well with the world again.

They practice organic and sustainable farming and produces delicious wines. Mark, farmer and vineyard manager was our tour guy and we couldn't be more lucky to have him explaining us everything that goes behind the scenes of a world class wine. If you never tried their wines you are missing something truly special. And also for every rose wine you purchased they donate one dollar to fight breast cancer. What an amazing thing to do. Thank you Mark for your generosity and your hospitality. We loved every minute we share with you.

Meanwhile, some more people showed up and went inside. We chose the outside as it was a beautiful day. It seemed like we were waiting quite a long time so I went inside to order our wine.

She was alone and it got busy but at least communicate with the guests. We ended up visiting Puma Road Winery and were instantly greeted and treated very well. See my review for Puma.
