I was pleasantly surprised and plan to make this a recurring stop whenever I'm in the area. I was helped by Joseph. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable with all the selections. A basic tasting was only $20 and well worth it. The tasting areas a very quaint and comfy, plus there is outside seating as well. As for the wine, it was very good. My expectations were low, but Nashoba definitely impressed me. Even bought a couple of bottles to bring home. If you got the time, and feel like doing a tasting away from the normal wine regions, I strongly recommend Nashoba Wines.

Came to Great Bear Vineyards on a Thursday night during the summertime and I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to see how packed it was. There was a line dancing event outside with a food truck. I did not attend this event, but did their regular indoor wine tasting. The signature wine tasting was only $20 and the wine was so good. The female staff member was very welcoming and friendly. She did a good job explaining all the wine we had and how we could purchase bottles to go. Definitely will visit again in the future and recommend if anyone is interested in wine tasting in Davis, CA.

First time visiting Great Bear Vineyard. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a very nice staff. Our…read moreoriginal plan was just to stop by for a glass of wine, but we weren't really asked what option we preferred and were automatically charged for a wine tasting. I'm guessing wine tastings are mainly what the vineyard offers, but it would've been nice to have the choice explained first. This is where my 2/5 stars comes in. They only had one person serving about 12 tables. My party was only a group of 2, but there were other tables with groups as large as 9 people. It literally took 25 minutes to receive my second pour, and the only reason we got it was because I had to remind the staff. I think having at least two people pouring wine would make the experience much smoother. Upon arrival, they also have a small parking area for non-reserved parking. Luckily, we were able to find a close spot. As for the restroom, personally I'm not a fan of unisex bathrooms, and they also did not have seat covers available. Overall, the staff was friendly, but the service and organization could definitely be improved. Apart from all this, I have visited multiple wineries in Livermore, which is closer to the Bay Area, and their wine bottles are much cheaper. Their wine tasting options are also more affordable. This is just my personal experience and opinion overall I don't think I would consider coming back.

Great value:)

What's an added bonus is the attached brewery, good beer, nice space, and knowledgeable staff as well I would definitely return to both of these locations

Overall, it is a wonderful place to relax and a great stop if you are visiting Winters.

You are welcomed in by friendly employees. They offered a free mead sampling but I really just wanted to try something else. I ordered the coconut prawns that had an awesome dipping sauce! I love when a place is generous with their coconut! Crunchy and delicious! The nice older lady suggested a beer I might like ( I wish I got her name...very pleasant!) And she was spot on! The City of Bees beer from Woodland was delicious! So good I bought more before I left! It is so relaxing outside with plenty of covered areas. Water fountain was a nice touch! We could have easily taken a nap outside on their comfortable couches! It's very serene with a great chill atmosphere! Next time I will try their meads! Awesome experience! Definitely recommend! Great for friends to hang out with!

I recently stopped back into The Hive to pick up a bottle or two of mead to bring to Girls' Night…read moredinner. I contemplated also buying honey but figured the hostess already had us covered with charcuterie, ports, olive oil and balsamic vinegars. I didn't catch the name of the man who helped me out, but he was super knowledgeable. I tasted more than a handful of different meads, ranging from bright and sweet to hoppy, to notes of cardamom and pine, to a thick almost port-like consistency, to a dry one. I also noticed one local brand, Strad Meadery represented as well. This wasn't a formal proper sit-down tasting as I was short on time, compared to when I did the actual honey tasting and they had a UC Davis Honey Flavor & Aroma Tasting Wheel to go along with. Ultimately I ended up purchasing a bottle of limited edition Sky River Chamomile Mead (Puget Sound, WA) and a specialty small-batch Monarch Series bottle of SideTrack Meadery's Celebratory Cyser Apple Mead (California Bay Area). We shared the Cyser which was great, and saving the bottle of Chamomile for a future date. I'll be back soon for lunch or to catch live music on the pollinator garden patio!

I told him what I was going to buy and he directed me over to the store side. I waited in line for 5-10 minutes as two ladies at the counter were helping a customer with their purchases. When the customers left so did the ladies who were working the counter. They both looked at me and didn't ask if I needed help or assistance. They just left without a word. I thought that was rude as hell. I only hope their wine that I purchased won't be as bad as the lack of customer service I didn't receive from either of those ladies. The man that greeted me had to come over from the restaurant side to help me as he worn himself how they ladies just left me so rudely. J told him that I knew nothing about wine and I needed advice on what to choose so I asked him what were the best options and he chose for me and I went with those choices. The inside was cute and chill with soft music playing. But thank God I don't ever want to come back here again not even to purchase a thing from this establishment. I give them 0 stars but unfortunately there has to be 1 star. I give if to the gentleman who ended up helping me. Shame on you ladies for your rudeness and lack of customer service.

There is mainly street parking available but due to this city's small-town charm, you won't have an issue finding street parking. The service was spectacular.

I loved how each had their own unique flavors. The interior is nice and modern with a slight rustic feel. There was calming music playing in the background. We had some crackers to go along with our drinks. The prices were also very affordable for the quality of the wine and the experience. Overall, I enjoyed my time here. Certainly recommend this spot and I will be returning. Bottom line/TLDR: excellent wine tasting spot in Winters!

Such a magical, fairy wonderland, meadery right outside of central/downtown Point Reyes…read more What's more powerful than bees? Literally nothing. Heidrun is one of your must visits if you're makinga trip up along the Highway 1 coast. Take that PTO and visit on a weekday where you basically have the entire place to yourself. The meadery is easily accessible, lots of parking (not much shade for the cars though), restrooms, and lots of outdoor seating great for the kids and dogs. I went with the seasonal tasting flight, and there's a an essentials one both for $25 value. If you buy three bottles of meads you get your tasting fee comp'd which is so great. I absolutely loved the seasonal flight, as I am all for unique and unforgettable flavors. The sage blossom is absolutely refreshing and so delicious, a great refreshing start to the flight. The chokeberry was very different, it's like a cousin to the cranberry. And the carrot blossom had a little spicy punch to it at the tail end of the sip. Everything was so delightful, effervescent and playful. There were a lot of Oregonian flower meads on this seasonal flight, which was very cool. They also sell so many cute trinkets that you can bring home as gifts, from fresh local honey from the farm to hand-watercolored cards to beeswax lotion and packets of wildflower seeds. It was so hard to not buy anything. Bring a book and sit in the shade, or come with a huge group of friends. Either way you're in for a bubbly good time.

Our hostesses were super sweet and chill. They were more than happy to explain a little bit about the meads and answer our questions. Would definitely stop by here again! :)

This dude is as hospitable as can be. He let me know about all of the upcoming releases they are getting and so much more. He told me about this " new era" store pick that he had. I was a little skeptical because it was a $100 bottle, but Gippy reassured me that if I didnt like it he would refund me my money. Well after having a sip. He was right. Its phenomenal. I was also able to pick up a brand new and highly sought after Elijah Craig that not many stores in California have received yet. The selection at the store is great, the prices are solid, and the customer service is top tier! Lastly, to top it off Gippy threw in a free glass to enjoy this delicious whiskey in.
