Oh if you haven't guessed.... my boyfriend. lol. Anyways back to the plot of this review. We were welcomed by Homer. A happy retired man with lots of knowledge on wine and also the area. I've attached some pics I took of some maps and pages of books that Homer shared with us. We actually came the first time and got schooled on wine for 15 min. Bought a bottle. Went back to our hotel room and got a pretty good buzz. Boyfrand said "let's go get another bottle and see Homer my guy". Went back an hour before closing, and ended up staying the rest of the time there talking to good ol' homer. We had lots in common! What a small world. I'll finish this book of a review with a huge thumbs up. Thanks yall for listening to my Ted talk.

We were also fortunate enough to get some nice sunny weather on our visit. The outdoor seating was perfect for the weather. It did get a little windy later in the afternoon so I suggest you bring a jacket just in case if it gets chilly. On top of the scenery the service was great as well. The host greeted us and sat us right away. We ordered the wine flight since this is our first time at this vineyard we wanted to try everything. The wine connoisseur was really friendly, did a great job explaining each wine and timed out each pour perfectly. My personal favorite was the Chardonnay. Next time we're visiting the area we'll certainly be back for another wine tasting.

Decent winery. Initially, I booked a patio estate experience thinking the seatings were like the…read morephotos so was a bit surprised that the vineyard was on the smaller side with a few tables in door and a few seatings outside. Given the limited seating, I found it to be kind of misleading but my fault for assuming. We ended up ordering a bottle to share as we decided that we weren't going to stay for too long. The rose was good but hard for me to judge as I am not too expert with wine tasting. We got a cheeseboard which was $55 and decent? Service was also okay overall. Given their pricing being higher than other vineyards and it being on the smaller side, I would not personally return but loved the experience nonetheless. Great views and did like the atmosphere but would try other spots in area as there are so many.

Aug 30, 2025. Ok we arrived on Saturday afternoon. About 340 pm…read more We looked inside forecasting but the tables had only table height flat top stools with no back. I'm 72 Dan is 63, & we've found that if not comfortable, we can't finish a tasting and back pain is too much So We took a table behind the tasting room. The ground has not been Properly leveled and 2 of us noticed it was hard to settle your chairs to be comfortable. They do not have many wines at all. Tastings are about 5 and they hardly have any whites. I did say i only drink whites, and she said well we won't open any bottles for you, but if it's open already we will serve you. I love sparkling the most but apparently that wasn't open as I didn't get to try it. Because my white wine was very warm, I asked for some ice and was rudely told they do not have an ice machine. I said it's warm, and I like my wine very cold. She said something very rude to me and I quote " I love that about you you!! " -- you like ice with your wine. Both Dan and my daughter, son and his GF were all shocked at the snide comment the woman made to me. You could tell she meant exactly the opposite. This was the start of celebrating my birthday in a couple weeks as well as I was just meeting my son's new GF at this moment. It made me feel unwelcome. She said she would check for some ice maybe in fridge but never came back to let me know there wasn't any. At this point our server was switched to a different person and the original server never came back. To describe her, about 5'6" about late 40s. Glasses. Thin to average build , Dirty dishwater light brown hair. About shoulders length or a little longer wearing jeans shirt tucked in front and pulled out in back. Aqua shirt we believe. And the first white wine served to us was room temp. Whites are supposed to be served cold! Overall I would never return. The table was also very dirty, lots of dust and cracker crumbs and I had to point this out and ask it to be wiped down. It was a poor experience for wine tasting. We also sat down and a party arriving after us was given water & tasting menus ( note it's room temp water , no ice) before we were served anything which was very annoying to us. We had been there a good 10 min before the other people who were just walking up and not even seated when they got menus and water and glasses. As we looked on in disbelief. We did not buy any bottles. We won't be back. As far as tasting experiences it wasn't good. They started closing up before 5 and had the door closed and came over to tell us we're closing, wrap it up basically. All the other people were still at their tables as well. We were outside anyway where there's no locked gate or anything so I'm not sure why the urgency to vacate. I usually take some photos but it wasn't a good experience we wanted to save. This is my honest experience.
