Service was outstanding- warm friendly greeting, they offered to take our coats, we were seated right away, great suggestions for drinks, and food was delivered in a cadence that didn't feel rushed, but didn't feel like you were waiting long either. We enjoyed some dishes more than others, but overall the food was really delicious. The stand-outs were some of the dishes we didn't catch the names, but the cod was well liked and so was the steak. Parking was a little hard due to the Christmas lights at the park across the street. This was almost an hour drive for us and it was worth it. We would recommend and look forward to going back to Hayward.

The birdhouses in particular were absolutely lovely and added so much charm to the space. The tasting room takes walk-ins, and were greeted as soon as we entered and told we could sit anywhere. Our sommelier was absolutely delightful-- there were two women working and both were so, so friendly and made us feel very welcome. We tasted one white (a Chardonnay that I actually quite liked despite it being my least favorite white wine) and a number of reds. When they poured the various pinot noirs, they brought a second glass and had us do a side-by-side comparison. I absolutely LOVE it when tasting rooms make the effort to do this-- it really brings us the differences in the wines so you can tell what you're trying. We also tasted a red blend and a syrah. The syrah was my favorite. In the midst of us tasting the reds, the women pouring for us brought out a couple of chocolate hearts, which was really the cherry (or the chocolate) on top. It's been hard in the past couple of years to find people that offer such a wonderful experience at this price point ($20)-- especially if you're a younger person. I can truly say that this was wonderful, and we will absolutely return next time we are in the Valley.

Do you like supporting small winemakers / wineries? IF you answered YES, to any of the above, go see Whitney! She's a wealth of knowledge and tidbits about the wines and owners. So fun trying all the different wines.... and we found a GSM that is absolutely sublime. Oh... and a White Pinot Noir (Pinot Noir Blanc) was the surprising new wine I'd never tried before today. It was so good that I had to buy a couple bottles. Note: Walk-ins allowed and welcomed, and 2 people can share 1 tasting. Plus...they have a vending machine of charcuterie snacks you can buy to go with your tasting.

However service was very slow as it appears it was only one server and the other was the bartender but would help out occasionally. Food also took a while to come out and were served our main courses before our appetizer and salad. I also felt like the prices were quite expensive for a small town like Carlton. For food we ordered the renegade potato's, a house salad, French toast and the biscuit and gravy. The renegade potato's were so good! Nice crispy potato with a spicy aioli! The house salad was a little disappointing. It was pretty but it didn't have the seasonal fruit that I was looking forward to. French toast was decent; a nice crispy brioche French toast with what appears to be a homemade blueberry jam. But this didn't wow me as much as I thought it would. The biscuits and gravy was interesting though and almost tastes like a spicy sausage gravy. If you're in the area, I would definitely check this place out! But if not, it probably isn't worth the drive.

We asked if we could walk them before a tasting and the server told us that we could also sit on the patio with them while we taste if we'd like.

There was a beautiful view of the vineyard from the patio too! This will definitely be one of our favorite memories of the trip! Highly recommend!

I'm more of a red guy, but they have options for whites and Pinot Grigios. The service was very friendly and very informative about the tastings and what not and the history of the vineyard.

We came here for my birthday with our family and friends, sitting outside and buying food and both tiers of wine tastings. The food was good, wine was average. The outdoors was busy, with long lines for getting our next pours, thinking we would do the normal thing and get our fill ups indoors we tried that to be met with "out, no" something I would expect when talking to a dog, not a paying customer at a nice winery. When paying over $100 for our three person group I would expect better. Unimpressed. Nice play area for kids though.
