The owner and his staff were extremely gracious and very friendly helpful throughout the weekend. I will say the on-site coordinator was a little challenging to work with at times as many of the things we were told when we visited the site before choosing to have the wedding there weren't necessarily true, but most of that was minor details and didn't negatively impact our day in the long run. They more than made up for it on the day of the wedding by making sure we and our guests were well taken care of. Not to mention, the wine is amazing. All of our guests loved it. We had our ceremony at the Catholic church and elected to have our ceremony in the back meadow because we liked it better. We were able to have our planner string some lights and it made for a beautiful and peaceful backdrop that easily accommodated our guest count of ~100 people with a dance floor. We also utilized the Air BnB option by staying in the 2 bedroom apartment above the tasting room and it made everything so easy. It has a beautiful, open layout with plenty of space for me and my family and friends to get ready. They also were kind enough to allow our pups who joined us for the reception. Overall an amazing venue with amazing staff. We are so happy with our decision and wouldn't have done anything differently. We're extremely grateful to Francis, Aimee and their staff for making our day extra special and would highly recommend this venue to anyone who asked.

The experience was a bit different from what we're used to, no real explanation of the wines itself. Just serve and pour. Not really a winery we were real impressed with but cute.

We hadn't made time to stop at any wineries during the day, so we choose to stop in here due to the recommendation of Worldmark staff. This is a phenomenal wine tasting option whether you have the time to visit individual local wineries or not, as 13 wineries are represented: Chatom, Chiarella, Cpppermine, Domaine Becquet, Frog's Tooth, Four Winds, Ironstone, LaFolia, Mineral, Prospect 772, Renner, Stevenot, and Zucca Mountain. For a small fee (Worldmark guests receive a discount), we tried several Domaine Becquet (Cab-Shiraz), Four Winds (Chard), Ironstone (Zin 104), Mineral (Merlot) and Zucca Mtn (Sangiovese). Buck, our gracious host, shared a wealth of knowledge on each winery, winemaker and family, making the tastings very personal, special and interesting! There was no "favoritism" for one wine or winery. One couple in our group purchased several bottles, however one, the Domaine Becquet Cab-Shiraz (DELISH!) was not in stock, but would be available in 24-48 hours. Buck took our number and as soon as this wine was available, he contacted us and made arrangements to drop it off at our room when convenient for us. Wonderful customer service! Making a brief pass-thru of this area? Short on time? Stop at The Cellar Room for a variety of wine tasting options, all in one location. We'll be back next year!

As you drive up, you're greeted by gorgeous landscaping and flowers everywhere -- the setting alone makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. We did a wine tasting and really enjoyed the wines. The Sauvignon Blanc was especially good -- crisp, refreshing, and perfect for a warm day. The Pinot Noir was also a standout, smooth and easy to sip. You can tell they put care into their wines, and there was something for everyone in our group to like. The grounds are spacious and peaceful, with views, gardens, and plenty of spots to wander or sit and relax. It feels more like an experience than just a quick tasting stop. The woman helping us was a bit reserved, but still helpful as we made our selections. Overall, Ironstone is a lovely place to visit if you're in the area -- great wine, beautiful scenery, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes for a memorable outing.
