Didn't make an appointment? Waiting at the gate? CALL THE PHONE NUMBER!…read more We almost missed out on this gem because the gate was closed and we didn't make an appointment. Was about to drive on... But I decided to call and Farmer John was more than accommodating! It's a farm meets vineyard meets winery. Anyways, we called and Farmer John came and opened the gate for our two cars. We came in and parked next to the barn. He gave us the choice of tasting inside or outside - we chose outside. After the 15 minutes he needed to get ready, he rolled out with all the glasses and bottles required for a tasting for 5 adults. Most of the wines are fruit forward but we all really enjoyed that about them. They well blended. John also explained that he's not pressured to put out wines that he doesn't feel meet his standard. This is a passion for him. Great conversations followed. The kids all played around the grounds and even went to go meet the farm animals! We all bought 2 bottles (or more) each to cover our tasting. It was great enjoying this time and the conversations surrounded by green grass and a wonderful farm setting. Definitely will be coming back!

There was an additional fire ring with chairs around it also. The barn is beautiful yet rustic with real bathrooms inside.

The Sparkling was great!! We rarely drink sparkling, but enjoyed its flavors so much that we purchased 18 and 6 of the Pinot Noir to take back to AZ. We were told they don't ship, so guess we'll have to come back someday!!

We came to this venue to attend a wedding and it's a gorgeous forest setting. The ceremony itself…read morewas held in a small clearing in Heartwood forest and then you walk down a short distance where the cocktail hour/dinner area is set up. Even though it is extremely hot in Oakhurst, the venue, being in a wooded forest, is a very comfortable temperature, not too hot and you don't need a jacket at all, even at night. It is a bit of a pain to get to though - you have to drive up a winding mountain for about 20 minutes coming from Oakhurst so if you are planning on drinking at the event, make sure you either have a DD because coming back down that same road at night with no street lights and while under the influence can be dangerous. The venue itself was a bit confusing for us to navigate. We had to ask people passing by for directions on where to go but we eventually got to where we needed. It is also quite dusty so be prepared to have your shoes and the bottom of your outfits covered with dirt. And being up in the middle of a mountain, be prepared for no/poor reception.

STUNNING FAIRY TALE WEDDING. SO ROMANTIC!!…read more================================================================ My very good friend was married here a few weeks ago and it was the most beautiful and stunning wedding I have ever attended. This place is nestled in the beautiful woods outside Yosemite national park so you know already what to expect. This place is the perfect backdrop for a fairy tale wedding, the views are amazing. The sun setting at the perfect time, the sun peeking though the trees DREAMY!

We were in constant communication with them throughout the entire process (providing us with samples, making changes, and making sure we loved the final ceremony draft). He has a great voice and was able to project his voice without using a microphone. He also has a calming affect over you that makes you feel at ease and peaceful. He was also very patient and flexible when we had to change our venue 4 days prior to the wedding due to the fire in Yosemite. He was punctual despite the heavy traffic in Yosemite due to the gate closure. We HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant in the area.

I cried the day I booked it because we didn't have to go into debt for our wedding. Jose and Karla are easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The setting is breathtaking, make sure you take enough time to get your couple pictures where you want on your day. We didn't have time to walk down to one of the photo spots(our fault) and I was very disappointed because it's a beautiful tree with a swing that I'd been dreaming of getting pictures at! Totally recommend using this venue! Organizing your own vendors gives you a chance to customize your wedding and save money

The owner has no people skills at all, too sensitive to questions being asked about his pricing…read more They give you a price for the venue then adds separate charges for use of bathrooms and force he's over priced security on you( which I'm sure he owns) by the time all is said and done the good deal is gone. Pass on this guy and he's poor negotiating skills. There's plenty other places that know how to deal with people without having to deal with an insecure owner. Never mind the place isn't handicapped accessible, you pay even more for the use of a handicapped bathroom. I would give a zero if I could.

Mouse poop ALL in our bedding upon arrival. We stayed in 23b. We purchased this cabin through an…read moreauction and were very excited to go. We had six people coming. We got there, got everything unloaded and unpacked, had dinner, cleaned up, watched a movie then got ready for bed. The sheets were dirty - full of food, crumbs and mouse poop. The pull out couches were disgusting. We had three people sleeping in one bed until we got ahold of maintenance. They came at 11:40 pm and changed the sheets on one bed so we weren't all in the other bed. Yes, we had three people sleeping in one bed because there was nowhere else to sleep. He did offer a change of cabins at that moment, but it was almost midnight and we were leaving at 5am to hike in Yosemite. The thought of moving everything was too exhausting at almost midnight. The guy that called me the next day was not friendly or apologetic. The other three people from our trip canceled, because they are immunocompromised and didn't want to sleep in beds that had mouse poop in them, as Hantavirus is carried by mice in the area. Housekeeping came the next day to clean the couch pull out beds that were full of mouse poop. One still had mouse poop in it even after they 'cleaned' it. We gave up and decided we will stay somewhere nicer next time. The cabin wasn't very clean in general. Honestly, I think they just wiped the counters down and put new towels up when we got there. They did not change the linens. Pretty nasty. If you look up the Google reviews, another guest found bedbugs in their cabin. Update: They called me and apologized. They are trying to make it right by providing us a new cabin that they ensured will be clean and mouse poop free. I'll update again later.

Who knew there was a little town inside Yosemite National Park where you can find cabins to rent?…read more Turns out, The Redwoods in Yosemite is a property management company that handles rentals of approximately 120 different cabins throughout the small town of Wawona in southern Yosemite. Over the Labor Day holiday we had a neat experience with Cabin 53. It had all of the basics that you could need and was cute and clean, and had decking all around. It was surrounded by a few other cabins and some nice pine trees. Staff from the Redwoods were friendly, accommodating, and responsive. There were many different sizes and types of cabins available, so both small and large groups can be accommodated. Unfortunately our cabin had a couple minor issues which couldn't be resolved, though they did try. The Redwoods community is located a short distance off the 41 in South Yosemite. It was still about 45 minutes to the main valley area, but it also had lots of neat things nearby as well. Still better than many options outside the park. Value was decent and we didn't feel like we were overcharged. This is a great option if you are looking for something a bit different to add that rustic cabin stay to your Yosemite trip.
