    Tasting menu

    Very small winery that's in Lake county; little outside of the famous Napa valley area. This winery had a lot of award winning wines & the some of the better tasting wines compared to the others in the area. Fave wines that I had tasted here ($10 tasting fee but waived if you buy 2 bottles): 2016 pinot grigio (4 stars) Very light & refreshing pineapple notes 2016 sauvignon blanc (3.5 stars) Not as a smooth finish as the pinot but still refreshing with fruity & slight citrus notes. 2013 merlot (5 stars) Very unlike any merlot I had ever tasted. This tasted more like a cab, very rich cherry & plummy flavours. This went perfectly w/ dark chocolate that I had brought along. 2014 volcanic cabernet sauvignon reserve: 3 stars Very dark beery notes but wasn't didn't have a smooth finish as the merlot did. 2008 "fire" petite Syrah port: 5 stars One of the best ports that I have ever had; very plummy & cocoa notes. This was not syrupy at all; so refreshing because most ports have that gross syrup consistently to it. 2010 "Ice" late harvest wine: 4 stars Very light honey tasting w/ apricot notes but the finish wasn't as smooth as the "fire" port.

    Cool tasting room and a friendly respectful face behind the counter. I would make sure to try there Cabernet Sauvignon, heavily influenced by the volcanic soils of the sourced vineyard, smooth tannins forming and becoming as smooth as could be for their current 2013 vintage. Lastly, easy stop on the main road through lake country.

    My husband and I went to California in May and made a stop at Thorn Hill and we are so glad that we did! Amy and Jack (owners) greeted us warmly. They gave us a tour of the grounds and the villas (which are stunning). The location has a lovely view and the villas and tasting room have unique details and fine craftsmanship. My husband really enjoyed admiring the work and asking questions with Amy. Now, the wine, it's to die for! Their wine has so much body, flavor, and amazing aromas! We shared a glass of sparkling with Jack and Amy on their front porch of the tasting room and enjoyed the sunset! It was delightful! I'd highly suggest the red rock cab, it is a uniquely wonderful wine! If you head out to wine country, give Thorn Hill a visit! You will not regret it!

    If you want great wines around the lake this is the place. Ask for Genice, she is the best.

    My boyfriend and I stopped here on our way through Lake County and were pleasantly surprised with the service and the amazing wines.

    DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS WINE! I ordered a case sent to Atlanta GA and it was a mixed of 2008-2009…read more It was over priced and I poured the first glass with the bottled cork in it. I took 6 wine bottles to our Country Club to our "Ladies who Lunch and Love Fine Wine" and I was totally embarrassed the Wine Master couldn't get the cork out in one piece. We open 6 bottles and we drank cork we every sip. So, DO NOT BUY THIS WINE because it tastes like aged vinegar and cork! I have been a member of this "Ladies who Lunch who Love Fine Wine" for 15 years and I was so humiliated. So, lesson learned. I called Mitch, the owner of Hawk & Horse and he did NOT offer any suggestions. I ordered a 2022 bottle and it had the same problem. Mitch is too cheap to sell his "fine & over priced wine" with a proper cork. Forger the 4K I spent with supporting a small business owner (only 13 acres) I will never get over the humiliation from these women who trusteed me. After calling Mitch, the owner who needs to retire. He was hostile and on speaker phone at the luncheon. He has LOST all of his ATLANTA business. We are Southern and we talk and tell it All. Thanks Mitch for telling us that the CALI way is NOT our WAY!!!!

    If you're not open please take your open signs down and shut the gate. We pulled in on July 5th and…read morethere was a woman who wouldn't even acknowledge us pulling a vacuum out of her truck. Tasting room was closed it seemed and she disappeared without a word. Very unwelcoming.

They have a great selection of wines and the absolute most spectacular views you will ever have the chance to see. I highly recommend anyone in the Lake county area to try their wines and experience the atmosphere.

    After pouring thru the many winery options, confusing myself more than coming to a decision as to…read morewhich would be "best", some local friends suggested Wild Diamonds. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the weather, overcast and cloudy with some sun finally appearing toward the end. But still had some amazing views. The wines were all very good with some being standouts. The number and size of the tastings were more than acceptable. Our host Jazzlynn was personable and informative. She had nothing but positive things to say about the winery, owners, winemaker and working there--all pluses in my book as I love supporting family-run businesses who care about their employees. The drive up the mountain to get to Wild Diamonds in Lake County is nice and also provides for the great scenery while tasting in the "rooms with a view". With enough notice (48 hours) they can have charcuterie boards available for you. I thought I also heard them say you're welcome to bring your own--but don't quote me on that... verify! If you want to get away from the commercialized options in Napa and Sonoma, you won't go wrong at Wild Diamonds!

(Doesn't have to be romantic; can also be fun with girlfriends!) This is an absolutely beautiful 3-bedroom home equipped with everything you can think of for a good time: full kitchen, dining area, patio with BBQ grill, fire pit, plenty of tables and chairs, and we even saw hammocks hanging on some trees! The rooms can be individually booked, or you can book all three for your friends and family. The home sits on a vineyard, so you get to taste their delicious wines. In the dining/living room area, you have access to games and a projector that is connected to Apple TV, so you can project a movie on the wall! How cool is that?! DANIEL gave us the best wine-tasting experience we have ever had. His explanations were thorough and very interesting. It went beyond the "peppery notes with hints of berries" descriptions you usually get at wineries. He explained the winemaking process because he has done it all, from planting grapes to making wine. And he was very kind and patient with all of our questions. And up the hill a little bit there is another home that they rent as well, and if it is vacant, you get full access to the pool! Another thing I appreciated now during covid is that the entire home was very clean! No carpet in the rooms (which makes it feel instantly cleaner already), the sheets smelled of fresh laundry detergent, and the shower was spotless. The rooms also have beautiful wooden patios. And then in the morning, we got a delicious hot breakfast by Gunay! She was so sweet and hospitable. On a sad note, they no longer have the llamas or sheep. But it is still a great experience! Also, don't be scared when you are following the GPS to arrive here! It's literally in the middle of no where! In conclusion to my short novel, we will definitely be returning with friends and enjoy all of the amenities!
