This is our go-to local winery for Friday happy hours and weekend lunches, and they really delivered for our special event. The wine, food, and charcuterie board were all excellent--and the salmon, as always, was spot on! Phil was a pleasure to work with and made curating the menu super easy and flexible. The day of the event brought unexpected gale level winds, but the team was well-prepared. They gave us a heads-up the day before & told us that they were prepared to move indoors in the morning depending on the severity. Morning of the event they swiftly moved everything indoors--right alongside their stunning supercar collection. (Probably a blessing in disguise for me ;) - keeping with the theme & namesake - AutoVino Even with the weather working against us, Phil and his team ensured we could keep our original date and still have the most amazing and memorable celebration. Highly recommend AutoVino/Woodside for both casual visits and special events!

I rented amber uplights to illuminate the surrounding space and the Cask Room looked great! It worked beautifully with my wine/gold/black theme. The appetizers were delicious. Guests chose from four dinner entree options and all reviews of the food were positive. My braised short rib entree was tender and tasty. I also opted for the late night sundae bar which was a hit with our attendees. The administrative and wait staff were courteous and on schedule. The ONLY thing I would suggest is filling the specialty cocktails (which cost more) to the rim. I did receive feedback from guests regarding that. I would not hesitate to book another event at Domenicos.

However, I do wish there had been a bit more consideration for vegetarian guests. I was told there would be a vegetarian option, but my meal mainly consisted of beans and bread, which felt a little underwhelming compared to the other pairings. Additionally, for the last pairing I was only served a glass of wine without a proper food accompaniment. If a vegetarian option wasn't fully available, I would have appreciated either a more thoughtful substitute or some adjustment to the final bill to reflect the missing pairing experience. Overall, it was still a good experience, but I think there's room for improvement when accommodating dietary preferences.

They have a handful of tiers that have different items you can make including paper weights, ornaments, pumpkin, and a terrarium. Each tier is priced differently and gradually increases as you move up a tier. When you book/preregister for your class, you have to select the tier you want to make from, but you are able to change it when you get there. My mom had selected a tier 2 item when booking, but switched to tier 1 the day of, and we were charged appropriately. Instructors were very helpful and gave good insight and demonstrated how the process worked. They were very hands on, and could be even more so if you needed them to be. Our class had some younger kids as well as adults, and everyone was given great care and the assistance they needed. You take turns each making your piece one at a time, so the actual process per person probably took around 20 minutes for tier 0-2 items. Depending on class size and how many people are in your group/when you arrive, you could expect to be there anywhere from 1 hour to 2.5. You don't get to take your blowing home right away, it has to sit in a hot oven overnight to set, so I sadly haven't seen my finished product yet, but I can't wait to pick it up and start putting it to use! Good pro-tip, wear long sleeves! I wore short sleeves because I figured I would be too hot in long, but the molten glass is VERY HOT and can irritate your skin just from the proximity! My arm turned super red and had a little bit of a heat rash the rest of the day, but it went away by the next morning.

It wasn't as hot as it should've been but the workers teaching us were very cool and easy going and we were still able to make our glass. They gave great instruction and helped us the whole time. I learned so much and loved learning how to do this! I like that they can even mail you your item for a small fee since it takes a day or two to cool. I would definitely do this again!
