We settled into our Airbnb cabin in Sonora, only to discover there was nothing to explore…read morenearby--just someone's backyard with no trails or points of interest. Fortunately, we remembered passing a sign for Indigeny Reserve and saw on the map that it was within walking distance. Since it was already after 3pm and they closed at 5pm, we decided to drive over and make the most of our afternoon before they closed. When we walked in, the building was empty, but we were eager to try a cider tasting. Browsing the shop, we found a variety of merchandise--shirts, hats, sweaters, and an assortment of cheeses, crackers, chips, and other tasty treats. Eventually, a friendly staff member greeted us and offered the $10 tasting. Since closing time was approaching, she joked about giving us paper cups to avoid running the dishwasher. We didn't mind, but she kindly served the cider in glasses, which made the experience nicer. She also offered a whiskey tasting in a cool room lined with barrels and tables, plus gift boxes and other products. The whiskey tasting was just $2, with three varieties to sample. I'm not much of a whiskey fan, but I appreciated that she wasn't rushing us out. Both of us loved the Blackberry cider, so we each ordered a glass to enjoy outside. The outdoor area is expansive, with wooden benches, tables, and lawn chairs scattered across a grassy lawn overlooking a large vineyard. Only a few couples and families lingered--likely because of the early closing time. After relaxing with our ciders, we wandered down the trail to the lake. Along the way, we discovered old barns, a whimsical gnome area, and several upside-down boats tied up near the shore. If the boats hadn't been secured, we joked about taking one out for a row on the lake! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Indigeny Reserve and, in retrospect, wished we had brought the teens along. Still, it made for a wonderful little date.

The venue is unbelievably romantic, and booking it for the entire weekend was the best decision we made. We had our bridal party and their partners stay with us, which made for an unforgettable experience that was worth every penny. The owners are incredibly sweet and accommodating, open to all of our ideas to make our day uniquely ours. They went above and beyond to bring our vision to life, and it couldn't have been more perfect. Their venue manager, Nicole, was the warmest host; she made everyone feel so welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. Our photos--and even our guests' photos--are absolutely stunning, capturing memories we'll cherish forever. The only downside? It's all over, and we can't relive that magical weekend. We're forever grateful to everyone involved for making our dream day a reality. Reyna & Daniel 11.2.2024

We had our wedding at Airola Vineyards, and what can I say? It was MAGICAL! Everything was perfect!…read moreNicole, our wedding coordinator made our dreams come true. She was truly dedicated to the success of our wedding making sure we were stress-free the entire time. And I must add she is extremely creative! The owners (the Klauses) were also extremely diligent and genuinely cared that we would have the most amazing day. They are the kindest and most gracious people you will ever meet! The location/venue was perfect! I mean the view overlooking the lake was breathtaking! And it wasn't the only spot that was beautiful. Every inch of that property was gorgeous. It felt like I was in some magical land that I couldn't imagine even in my wildest dreams. I mean, our photographer was so inspired she kept finding great places for us to take pictures. Shout out to Renee as one of the Vendors too, she was handsdown one of the best decisions we made regarding the wedding. You will regret not booking her for your wedding/event. This was truly a memorable day and a huge reason for this was the people involved and the location. We didn't have to worry about random people showing up to our intimate wedding like I've seen happen at other venues. It was spacious enough to for a large wedding party without sacrificing comfort, we loved that we felt tucked away into nature while still having "city accommodations". And I must add, the view from the casita is unmatched. Best view on the property. I loved that it served as my bridal suite! I can't say enough about Airola Vineyards. Truly, our wedding was just enchanting. While our guests were originally skeptical about the location (many had to drive 8+ hours) once they arrived they all thanked us for the invitation because it meant they were in such a beautiful location. I'm surprised this place isn't better known and while I want to be selfish and not the let the secret out, I would be doing humanity a disservice if I didn't shout Airola Vineyards' (and it's staff) exceptionalism from the roof tops. I am convinced this is one of the most romantic places on planet Earth.

The wines (classic California varietals) were interesting but a bit strange, perhaps from the elevation but we were never given more information even when we requested it. I think the tasting room pourer was one of the wine makers, but she didn't seem interested in talking about her wine. The tasting room had small town feel and a good location which should have warranted a higher rating, but none of that small town charm due to the somewhat unfriendly staff who only smiled twice.
