This place is a great venue for parties both planned and spontaneous. This estate winery has a small selection of reds and whites and fruity sparkling wines. A great place to pack a lunch and enjoy it with a bottle or a flight with friends or utilize their beautiful scenery and party space in the back.

Red tasting

My mother and I came in for a red and white wine tasting about 90 minutes before closing, excited to sample local wines. We started with a complimentary sparkling wine and opted for the 2 whites and 3 reds tasting package. The price was higher than listed online, which should be updated, but we didn't mind initially. Unfortunately, the experience was the worst I've had in many wine tastings. The staff poured without explaining any tasting notes (which weren't on the menu), giving the impression they weren't interested in engaging or selling the wine. When we moved to the reds, we were told they wouldn't serve our full package because a bottle had run out. Instead, they gave us separate pours of other wines without consultation or proper pours--my mother didn't even receive one at first. When we declined to purchase anything due to the poor experience, it was clear from the staff's expressions that they weren't happy. While the sparkling strawberry wine was enjoyable, the overall lack of hospitality, unwillingness to open new bottles, and subpar service left us disappointed. I cannot recommend this establishment unless they improve their customer experience. The ambiance is nice and quaint.

We had our wedding at Kings River Winery in May and I cannot say more positive things about this venue! Ashley and her staff are so helpful and were always so quick to answer any questions we had. Thank you KRW Team!

I've been to wineries before but this is probably the best one I've been to yet. A friend rented…read moreout the place for a birthday. It was nice because driving into here they had a sign in the front saying closed for a private event. So we had the whole winery to ourselves, felt very intimate. 3 Oaks was super accommodating with all the cute customization. They had one wine bottle with a happy birthday sticker of my friend's name on it. There was a hanged chalk sign at the bar with a happy birthday message, and the wine tasting menu also had a happy birthday message on there with his name that we got to keep. The winery itself is medium size. It looks like it's someone's back yard because there was a house with a pool and the rest of the land is the vineyard. They had so many chickens walking around. Our host Chris, told us that we the head leader chicken was name Marshmallow which was so cute. You park in this rock lot and the walk to the winery which is very close. We got to sit under the shade during the sun light because our reservation was 6:30pm. Although, it was very hot to sit outside for the summer time. There were some ceiling fans to help us stay cool in the 100 degree weather. They offered ice cold water cups as well. We were able to bring our own food and cake for the event. They had so many different types of vineyards with signs on them. It was very pretty. The barn and the seating areas had a cute hang out charm to it. Chris was wonderful with his hosting skills and his service was above and beyond my expectations. He was very personable and nice. He helped us put the food out on the table, placed utensils around, and took a bunch of pictures for our group. He also was very informative about all the wines and ingredients. He was pretty funny knowing some random facts too. I enjoyed talking to him. He even gave us some tips about taking photos during the sunset for golden hour. My friend ended buying a bottle and I believe it was $32. All the wines tasted delicious. The unique flavors tasted rich. My favorite was the Yacamastu Tempranillo for red and 2023 Pammie Grigio for white. Too bad we couldn't taste Rosé wines cuz they were sold out. The tasting itself was $35/person which was not bad. It was my boyfriend's first time wine tasting and he enjoyed too. Bathrooms were nice and clean just very hot. Saw they have board games, nice lounge areas, and merch shop. It's nice that they hold even other events like yoga. I definitely would come back to this vineyard. I thought it was sweet that the owner requested for our group photos thank you!

I didn't take a lot of pictures because I was just trying to enjoy being out of the house. There…read morewas 3 of us and it was our first time being there and I had never heard of it until my friend said she found them on instagram. The place is really cute and super tiny compared to a lot of wineries in madera. It has a cute bar area with really nice chairs and a little area to buy books and market items. We sat down at the bar area and didn't get greeted right away it took a few minutes it seemed like they were overwhelmed with all of the people there. We wanted 3 tastings in the hopes to have a charcuterie board and get a bottle of wine if we liked one of them. While sitting there a couple who had a baby sat at the bar and both were drinking wine (sorry I don't think it's okay) I understand parents need a day or night out (I'm a parent too) but babies don't belong at wineries or breweries. It's just how I feel. While sitting at the bar area the owners and whoever else the ladies were to the establishment didn't have it together they all kept overstepping one another and they looked and seemed overwhelmed. And they kept talking about it in front of us. I found out the new owners have only been there 6 months. So I understand they're still trying to figure things out. But it did take awhile to get a new pour, so I finally asked after 3 tastings if we can buy a charcuterie board, one of the ladies told me they don't have anymore they were sold out. We were bummed because we were hungry, and they didn't have any snacks to buy. So we were on our last tastings and out of nowhere a board appears and was now being bought from the couple with the baby who also got to sample the slushie they serve as well. We left unhappy and not understanding why they just lied to us about not having a board for sale. The wine was great but how we were treated compared to the people around us not so much. It's so unfortunate to like something so much but the service that's given to you and different for others is not okay. I love trying new places but sometimes it's not what's it's cut out to be.

Reference Case ID: #1901617…read more Three months ago I found this foreign object in my bottle of in my bottle of Gallo wine. I immediately wrote to Gallo Hdqts. and Consumer Services Representative, Macenzie M. cordially responded, she dismissed the disgusting experience as just a "cork". Though I strongly disagreed. A cork would not shrivel up like this. And it's obvious, it was a mushroom. But she believed a sorry, and send $5 to compensate me. I requested the lab results, but that request was ignored. My warning to all, where there is one mushroom, there are more. Which means their processing is questionable. Be sure to look in your glass before taking a drink. Trust me, it was a horrible experience taking a drink and having this land in my mouth.

I heard that Gallo Winery had sold various yard materials to the public and thought I would get…read moresome for my over-seeding. I tried to find information on the internet where and how to buy the materials. I found very little information and the information I found was here on Yelp. But, it was not the information I was looking for. Still at a loss on where to go or speak to.. I just drove out that way with my truck hoping to get lucky! I came across a big open lot that appeared to intercept the harvest trucks with a little building that had a sign in front (south side of Olive Ave just East of Clovis Ave). The sign was not very informative either by the way!!! So, I walked up to the building and there was a lady there behind a glass and asked if I needed help. I explained why I was there and she pointed out the different materials they had for sale. I explained I needed compost for over-seeding and she recommended the 50/50 mix of soil and compost. I bought a half of yard of 50/50 mix of soil and compost for only 15 dollars. Still not knowing where to go to get the material, I had to ask her where to go for the material because there was no signs. She pointed that I had to travel farther east on Olive Ave and take the second left. She stated a man would be there to help and load me. As I followed her instructions, there was no man to be seen. I drove pretty far to the back of the lot looking for this said, "man!" Eventually I just drove to the farthest part of this lot where I saw piles of materials and workers near by on equipment. Eventually someone waved me over and viewed my receipt. He then pointed me to the area he wanted me and he came over with a front loader. The pile of 50/50 mix he had was very small. But, it was enough for my load. As he scraped it up and loaded it into my truck, I saw small pebbles in the material. I think the pebbles came from him scraping the material from the ground. When I got home, I saw a few pieces of debris. It looked like a piece of a tie that's used for bread bags and few little pieces of torn paper. The material that was loaded in my truck didn't compare to the sample bags the girl had at the window when I purchased the mix. The half yard of 50/50 mix of compost and soil equaled to about 4 full wheelbarrows worth. Wished it would had been a bit more.. but worth the money. It would had cost me way more from a box store than it did getting the material at Gallo Winery. The little pebbles that was in the material migrated to the bottom of my wheelbarrow and was easily separated. As for the other debris, I just simply picked it out by hand and threw it away. I suggest to bring a tarp and a few pieces of heavy lumber to put over the top of the lighter weight material so it does not cause a hazard to other drivers when driving to your project location.
