Had an early dinner so saw this tasting room and decided to stop. It closed in 50 minutes and when…read morewe walked in there was no one in the tasting room. The gal eventually came out and when asked said there was plenty of time for us to enjoy a flight. There were two different red flights and we went with Heritage flight as she said it wasn't as sweet as the other. Both were $12 for 3 pours. It consisted of a Pinot Gris (crisp and refreshing and ended up being our favorite), Rosé and a Cab. She offered a Pinot Noir as well and added it to the cost of our flight making it $15 for the four of them. Cabs are our go to red - this one wasn't as full bodied as we usually enjoy. The gal was pleasant to visit with but she did not discuss any of the wines or offer much information on the wines or winery. If asked she was good to share but I always enjoy hearing about the wines and history of the winery.

They are not as robust as the California counterparts to which I am accustomed, but they are a nice easy drinking alternative. They also have olive oils and balsamics. I can't say enough about how nice the ladies were who served us, thank you!

They allowed us to sample their wines, which was a great way to explore the different varieties and find something we enjoyed. We ended up purchasing the Pistachio Rosé, which was a unique find. I liked that they offered something a little different from traditional wines, with a hint of pistachio flavor. It was a fun bottle to bring home as a reminder of our visit. They also had a selection of flavored oils and balsamic vinegars, and we were able to sample most of them before deciding on our favorites. We settled on the strawberry balsamic, along with the garlic and basil options. Being able to taste the different flavors made the experience more enjoyable and helped us choose products we actually wanted to take home. Overall, this was a memorable stop on our road trip. Between the wine tasting and the variety of oils and vinegars to sample, it was a unique experience that stood out among our travels. I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area and enjoy discovering different wines and specialty food products.

Heart of the Desert Pistachios & Wine - Came for Pistachios, Left with Wine…read more We stopped here with a simple mission: grab a few bags of pistachios as gifts for friends back home. Easy, right? Well... not quite. The store itself is quaint and charming, filled with all kinds of temptations. Pistachios in every form, chocolates, wines, and gift options that make you rethink your original plan. You can taste a little of everything, which is both delightful and dangerous. Then we stepped out onto the patio with our pistachio ice cream, and wow... completely unexpected. The space is gorgeous. Calm, open, and the kind of place that makes you slow down without even trying. Honestly, if I lived nearby, I'd be planning celebrations here without a second thought. Somewhere between the views and the tasting, I tried their pistachio rosé. And yes, I had the same reaction, "wait... what?" But it worked. Different, pleasant, and surprisingly good. Good enough that I completely abandoned my pistachio gift plan and walked out with several bottles instead. A much more unique surprise. The staff were warm and welcoming, adding to the whole experience. No rush, no pressure, just genuine friendliness. We didn't have as much time as I would have liked, and that's probably the only downside. This is the kind of place where you want to linger longer, taste more, and just enjoy the moment. Came for pistachios. Left with wine and zero regrets.

Unfortunately, our most recent visit ended on a very disappointing note. Carol, the owner, handled a situation in a way that felt extremely rude and one-sided. It seemed like our experience as paying, longtime customers was overlooked in an effort to accommodate others. We were having such a beautiful day until that interaction, and it completely changed the experience for us. We truly love this winery and want to continue supporting it, which is why it's so disappointing to leave feeling disregarded. Loyal customers deserve to feel valued and respected.
