Friendly hosts, beautiful grounds and a few nice Sangiovese wines! Came on a Saturday at the suggestion of another winery as we wanted to listen to live music. We had a very nice time taste their wine, listening to the live music and enjoying the little pop up market! Very friendly, welcoming and dog friendly!! read more

Came here as part of a wine tasting weekend called Behind the Cellar Door and loved the hospitality, views, vibes and wines. They even gave us vouchers for future tasting, which we are looking forward to enjoying. read more

With a friend in town visiting, my husband, friend, and I made our way to Vino Noceto upon the recommendation from another winery we had tasted at. The wines are of the Italian varietal, and several of them were new to us. We enjoyed the space and how pleasant the servers were. They took the time to educate us on the wines, but in a laid-back manner that was not pretentious or presumptuous. They have ample outdoor seating with plenty of shade and umbrellas. There is plenty of parking and they are dog friendly. read more

We had a great visit to this winery. It's situated right off the road and the first thing you see was the dog sculpture. Our host Mack did an incredible job with our wine tasting for our large group. We were seated outside and he led us through the tasting with funny stories and even brought out other wines for us to try. We learned a lot about the winery and the history of winemaking in Plymouth. We even tried the wine slushy, which was delicious. The charcuterie plate that accompanied our wine tasting was delicious and beautifully presented too. There was only a small bar inside for seating so we were seated outdoors. I wish there were some shade or heat lamps. The big building was closed the day of our visit. There were lots of benches and seating outside but they were unprotected from the sun and wind so we were a bit cold. read more

Vino Noceto is great. The wine is good, the atmosphere is great, and the food offerings are yummy. We did a tasting and bought some of the crackers, cheese, and nuts from the small store they have on-site. They give you a charcuterie board and knives to use for your purchases which is incredibly helpful. We ended up buying some bottles. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Vino Noceto - Tasting with some yummy treats - Wineries Near Me - Plymouth, California

I had been wanting to visit this winery for a while. My husband and I had tried a bottle of their Sangiovese at a local restaurant and loved it so we were eager to taste more of their wine. We were not disappointed! All their wines were delicious and the day we went, Wok n Roll food truck was there which made the visit even better! It was a pretty hot day, in the 90s and they were sitting everyone outside which was a bit odd. We asked if we could be seated in their air conditioned banquet room and we were told we could only sit there of we bought a glass or a bottle, they dont do tastings in there because they dont want to walk that far LOL. It would have been a better experience to sit everyone in the air conditioned banquet room and have all the wine and tasting room employees in there. The owner Jim was there visiting with the customers and sitting chatting with them. We got to have lunch with him and hear his interesting stories. This is why I love Amador wineries, I love that small, down to earth experiences. read more

The staff are super knowledgeable about their wines and have a deep passion. Definitely come if you love Sangiovese as this is their specialty, but they have a good variety, and a couple of i hadn't heard of. Small indoor tasting room but lovely picnic area good for mid-sized groups. A quality winery to check out. read more

Our daughter and son in law brought us here and it was simply amazing. The wine slushies are so good. We went early Friday afternoon and it was slow. We met the owner who recommended a delicious cheese and paired it with some of their olive oil they make and balsamic vinegar, it was great. The owner was very kind and friendly. If you are in the area you must try this place. You won't regret it. read more

Absolutely love the setup here. We came just for the wine Slushers with the red wine floater. It was SO good and refreshing we came back two days in a row everyone here is so friendly and they also sell delicious wine chips and chocolates as well as their wines. Ask about the giant wiener dog head!! This is a new favorite in ours in Amador county read more

On a warm day wine tasting this is a must stop on you journey! We specifically went in for the wine slushie and ended up staying until they closed. Very friendly staff, and they encourage you to enjoy the grounds, as well as the wines. Plenty of umbrellas for shade and cornhole while sipping those slushies. read more

It was sunny blue skies but exremely windy as we sat under their spacious covered patio. Things were getting blown over, so I skipped the wine tasting and just ordered a glass of the '17 Originale Sangiovese ($6). Wise and delicious choice! Paired well with the eggplant pasta I had from the Pasta Company food truck parked in the middle. My boyfriend had a lovely chardonnay that was easy to sip with sweeter notes. There are plenty of tables that are spread out for social distancing and were cleaned/sanitized after guests use. Staff wore masks at all times. No cash is accepted, only cards right now. I loved the entire vibe of the place: casual, fun, open, and welcoming. Beautiful view of the vineyard below and the giant weiner dog statue (who is also wearing a mask btw!). What's NOT to love! The sweet and humble owner came by our table to welcome us and chat about the winery. Don't miss this one! read more

I have to say the people are right! These guys, Mac ,was top notch on informing us on there wines! I came here for Doggie Diner head, LOL But there wines are good! The winery is pet and children friendly. read more

Came up for day trip with reservations for a tour and tasting. The actual winery is very small but they carry and serve wines from other local wineries to make things interesting. I'm not sure if it was due to Covid protocol but there was no tour. Our server/ wine guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He made an effort to find wines he thought we would like even though they weren't part of the normal sampling. I ended up purchasing several items that were on sale and we had a good time here. If you enjoy sweeter wines this should definitely be on your checklist. read more

Just like the rest of the world, they seem a bit short staffed during the heat of the day. BUT grab a wine slushy and relax. There is a reason they are busy. They make the best sweet wine around. The grounds are smaller but they have a few games to stay busy. Dog friendly. We try to come by once a weekend (we live close) and snag a slushy in the way to eat dinner in Plymouth. read more

Vino Noceto - Yummy flight. - Wineries Near Me - Plymouth, California

I am a local that travels here frequently. I normally stop in for a glass of wine or two while I run around town without my 6 kiddos. Today's experience was the worst I ever received in five years. Debbie was behind the counter, was very unwelcoming and only paid attention to other guest. Because I am running in and out of town I was only wearing my sweatpants and a long sleeve T-shirt, as normal when I come in, I am there to enjoy my nice quiet glass of wine without my six kids. on this day the second she gave me my glass, she was ready to ring me up as though I was gonna leave without paying for my glass. She kept her eye on myself in the door very closely. I was all the way towards the back of the winery without any intention of leaving just enjoy my glass. When I ordered a second glass of wine, she told me that they were closing in 15 minutes. The couple that was next to me was wine tasting, she gave them no timeframe and kept laughing and enjoying their company! On my way out I advise that this was the worst experience that I've ever had here she replied back to me with a smile on her face and said "I'm so sorry" and shrugged her shoulders. Being rushed to pay for my first class, while looking around and enjoying the candle smells, and every thing else that was up for sale, then being told I had a timeframe when she poured my second glass was an indicator that it is very unwelcoming for everybody to be here. Unless you dressed up, they want nothing to do with you! read more

To me Vino Noceto sums up what a winery visit experience should be like: * Friendly, knowledgeable, outgoing staff who clearly are passionate about the wines * An approachable no-attitude atmosphere that encourages quaffing * Decent variety - more reds than whites this time around * Cheerful ambiance with plenty of seating; picnics encouraged As others have noted, the Frivolo, as its name suggests is a light, easily drinkable white that even comes in a can. I was hesitant, nay perhaps even a bit skeptical, that something out of a can could be drinkable. A bit fruity but not overly cloyingly so, I would pair it with Thai -- or even a turkey sandwich. I was converted: wine out of a can can be good (no pun intended). These little guys would be easy to take on a hike, picnic or even a movie ha ha. Maybe I hadn't been drinking the right kind, but sangiovese was never a favorite of mine. Kind of like petit verdot (*gasp*) but when I tried the estate 2015 Sangiovese, I was converted. Well-balanced and not too tannin-y, it's meant to be drunk now. Like I wanted to open the bottle once I got home. Reasonably priced at under $20, the grapes are sourced locally and could pair up with almost anything. So there you have it. Converted to drinking wine out of cans and sangiovese. I recommend stopping by! read more

We went to Vino Noceto after a three day weekend of glamping near Plymouth, California on the Cosumnes River. While we were camping, a friend told us about a delicious drink she had at Vino Noceto-- it was a slushy made with wine. The idea fascinated me even though I had a hard time imagining what it would look and taste like. Vino Noceto is located not far from the town of Plymouth in the county of Amador. There are other wineries located in the area. So if one wants to make an afternoon of driving around and tasting wines - - it's something you can do in the area surrounding Plymouth. When we arrived at the Vino Noceto, we noticed they had tables with umbrellas along the main cement walkway. At the end of the walkway, there was a red barn like structure that was their tasting room. We each ordered a Frivolous Slushy in there tasting room. It was $8.75 a glass and enjoyed slurping our slushy down to the last slurp! The Frivolous Slushy was as amazing as my friend told us. It was sweet, and made with their Noceto Frivolo. I really couldn't taste the alcohol and I ended up a little headed. One of the young men described to us how to make a frivolous slushy at home. So, we bought a couple of bottles of Noceto Frivolo to make our own slushies at home. Tip: bring your picnic, and eat at the tables outside the tasting room--that way you can drink their frivolous slushies and not get a head ache. They don't do service at their picnic tables, but you can get drinks in their tasting room, and take them to your picnic table. -- Sent from Gmail Mobile read more

FRIVOLO FANATIC! Moscato beats all other moscatos. Not super sweet. Perfect for all year round. A chilled glass of Frivolo reminds you of a nice spring or summer day. Now that it comes in a can, it's even easier to bring with you when you're at your kid's sports game, camping, or a backyard barbecue. Highly recommend this drink to everyone I know. Winery is far from home, so I often get it at my local alcohol shop like Total Wine. If you're out to look for a winery to visit, be sure to check this one out. Tip: Frivolo slushies available this summer! Such a sweet surprise when we visited. Didn't know it can be made into a slushy. Be sure to ice your Frivolo and not use regular ice (waters down the flavor). Service: Excellent! Right when you walk in, employees greet you with a smile and help you out even with a busy room. Just walk right up to the bar. They'll get you what you want. read more

Loved the vibes here. Super chill and comfortable. The music definitely ads to the atmosphere and makes for an overall good time. I bought one of their beautiful candles that smelled so good! We were attended to so quickly and efficiently. Would definitely come again. read more

Vino Noceto - Wine slushy!! - Wineries Near Me - Plymouth, California

Love their wine slushy. Fun way to end the day wine tasting. They had wonderful wines and their Sangiovese is great.

I've been a long fan of Vino Noceto Sangiovese; I had the pleasure of visiting for the first time back in 2010 and they were welcoming and as wonderful as I remember. Suzy and Jim Gullett have been making Sangiovese for over 25 years and their catalog of wines includes eight, yes eight, different Sangioveses among other things. The wines are wonderful, the tasting room is rustic and intimate and the grounds are lovely. In addition to the grape vines, there are olive trees, 200 lilac bushes, and two acres of walnut (noceto) trees. Taste their olive oil in the tasting room and check out their bottles of grappa. Vino Noceto is known as "California's Sangiovese Specialist" so why wouldn't you want to visit them? read more

Been a member here for years- the multiple kinds of Sangiovese from different lots/ areas of the property makes for a unique experience.

Such an fun and inviting location for tasting. When you walk up there is a bocce area and outdoor seating with umbrellas and the Old Doggie Diner head is smiling in the courtyard. The tasting area is open with many interesting retail items for sale. There appears to be 2 tasting areas but due to it being a Wednesday, one side was open. The Sommelier was engaging, knowledgeable and suggested we try an additional wine of the same style but different year. As she mentioned, the 2018 version versus the 2017 version was a much sweeter bottling. We chose to taste the white wine flight as we typically drink reds. Not a bad tasting as we left with a few bottles of white. I found all of the wines very fragrant and nice on the tongue. I don't care for overly dry wines so these certainly would be something I could enjoy regularly. The final wine was a Sangiovese which you could take over to the far corner for some fun. This area has little mason jars containing soil, peppercorns, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, oregano, tea, pencil shavings and liquid smoke. The idea is to taste the wine and see what your nose and taste buds sense. I chose 3 - peppercorns, mushrooms and oregano. My husband chose peppercorns, soil and oregano. We will check this off as one of our favorites. Hope to see you sooner than later Vino Noceto! read more

Vino Noceto - Mistura 2018 - Wineries Near Me - Plymouth, California

We make an effort to veer from our usual wineries when visiting Amador County. Since there are more than 40 of them, it can take awhile! We stopped into Vino Noceto on Saturday to a very friendly staff associate. Very knowledgeable about the product and the region in general. The tasting menu is broken into 3 parts. Red flight, white flight and a mixture of both. Most everything was spot-on excellent with a few standouts. The Sangiovese, especially the 2015 Riserva. The other is a really sweet Frivolo. It's used during the summertime as a base for slushies! It's very good all on it's own. This is a good one! read more

Why stop at Vino Noceto when there are dozens of other spots to consider? If you're asking yourself this question you might want to wonder why you stop anywhere. Is it for the wine, the winery reputation, the rose garden outside, the grounds, or the bistro deli that they've added to keep you fed? Vino Noceto is a stop worthy of consideration, as the wine is good and, beyond that, fairly priced. Is this the fanciest winery on the block? No, you've got some down the road if that's what you're after. Remember, you are in red wine country, and that's why you want to stop here. It's a simple tasting room staffed by very friendly people willing to go the extra mile to make you happy. Yesterday's example was their willingness to open a bottle for us to taste when they only had five bottles in the place. We liked, and we bought the last four. Thank you Vino Noceto, you've earned our business and our loyalty. One of these times I need to hear the story about the dog. read more

Vino Noceto - The last four of these available yesterday went home with me. Try to find some if you can, they are good. - Wineries Near Me - Plymouth, California

One of the few Amador County wineries that take you outside of the tasting room. Call ahead an save yourself a spot on the farm to glass tour. See if Steve is available. The tour takes you out to the vineyard to learn about the different varietals, growing of the vines and selection of the grapes. Learn what that glass of wine is all about. Savor it. Enjoy it. Will on the tour you will taste a few of the wines. Steve had great knowledge of Italian grapes and style wines. He was a great pleasure to spend some time with. Personally enjoyed the Frivolo. And they had a nice snack to have while trying the wines. read more

Greatly enjoyed our tasting at this winery. I am a sucker for Sangioviese so this was right in my wheelhouse! The wine ambassadors were knowledgeable and friendly! Ended up with a bottle of each tasted! Second time here and both visits were quite on-point. Bocce ball court was calling my name but we had another tasting scheduled within the hour! And who doesn't want a picture with the Doggie Diner "statue" in their courtyard! Keep up the good work, Vino Noceto! read more

Warm welcome. Nice enclosed setting on picnic tables. Our hostess was very nice and welcoming. And informed too on wine in general. I liked the wines but for me the star was their white Sangiovese. A rather rare thing. Basically, a regular Sangiovese but vinified as a white. I would have certainly bought a bottle but at $44 it was too steep for me. read more
