Stopped in on a Friday night with a few friends. They had live music on this particular evening. They aren't usually open on Fridays, fyi. The winery is a beautiful open space with outdoor seating as well as some space inside. Wine prices are reasonable. We opted for the Orange Muscat as well as their sparkling wine. The gentleman who helped us recommended to mix the two. It was a great combo. Pizzas are available for sale as well. They're a little larger than a personal pizza, but I was able to finish it solo :) They have a dole whip type soft serve that pairs with their sparkling wine that's amazing. Definitely worth a try.
Ziveli Winery, Fresno, CA - December 6, 2025 We showed up at about 2 PM on a Saturday afternoon during the winery's Christmas celebration. There were lots of arts and crafts vendors there, and the parking lot was packed. Recognizing we might not have a spot to park, we parked out on the street to begin with. We walked in and saw the lovely vineyard grounds. There's a nice open patio area with nice lighting. They have a pizza kitchen and people were out front selling pies. It was very festive. We walked into the tasting room which was jam-packed. We told one of the wine pourers that we were with the Harvest Host. He directed us to be on the lookout for winery owner John, who was making the rounds greeting his guests. We got a couple flights of wine and sat down. Not long after, we spotted John behind the counter and went over to say hi to him. He is a super friendly and gracious host. He realized that the parking lot was pretty packed when we were there and told us that it would be clearing out a little later in the afternoon, so we did some wine tasting and chatted with John for about 15 or 20 minutes. We shared with John that we would be going to Croatia next May. He was super helpful in taking a look at our itinerary and giving us some feedback about things to be checking out while we're there. At about 4 PM, the parking lot cleared out and we pulled in our motorhome. It was a nice level spot looking out over the Vineyard. We had a very restful night's sleep. We definitely hope to come back again!
Another great Ziveli day! Music, wine and pizza... Jeffrey and Alicia are always knowledgeable and great hosts
On May 5, 2024, recently attended with a group at the Ziveli Winery in Fresno. Recently new to the Central Valley area and first time at the Winery. Lack of parking available and there are dogs on the premises that walkaround inside and outside the Winery grounds. There is only food provided outside and in a food stand outside the Winery in which the prices are excessive for personal size pizzas. The staff was polite at times. The bathrooms could use some improvements as well. However, the outside grounds are breathtaking and good for a small group or an event. The drive was okay there was no traffic that time of day. The roads were in bad shape and requires some road improvements. As a military veteran and Central Valley resident I recommend the Winery grounds for your future event needs.
My second trip and disappointment once again trying to get a slushy. Arrived after an hour drive for a wine slushy. They didn't have them ready once again and said wait 30 minutes. We waited 45 minutes the winery was hot as hell. Was 102 degrees outside so not sure why they wouldn't have their most refreshing beverage ready. We usually order 4 to 6 of these. After a miserable 45 minutes in the heat we gave up and left as there was no signs of ice in the slushy machine. We were the only ones there with the heat can't imaging anyone would find it enjoyable. If it's summer I would pass for a location that has the proper AC to deal with the heat. It's a cute spot that we have enjoyed multiple times but probably won't return. It's just too far of a drive for repeat disappointment in my opinion.
Love Ziveli. This cute little winery has everything you need to have a good night or day out. We have come here several times in groups and have always been greeted by the winery but also their cute dogs (makes our experience better). Their wine tasting is great and they also offer a flight which I would highly recommend. You can also take your own food (which we have also done). Highly recommend and if their pizza place is open don't miss out. Their page doesn't say they are open during the week but we made an actual appt and they were able to accommodate us Thank you Ziveli!
Definitely one of the better wineries in Madera! Cute, rustic vibe with a lot of space. Indoor and outdoor seating areas. Comfy couches inside and many picnic tables outside. Wine wasn't bad, also wasn't the best. The tasting is perfect, you get to choose 6 wines from their wine list for $10. They also have a wine slush option fir $10. I did both. Love the brick pizza addition outside. They come out quickly and baked to perfection. I would definitely recommend. Love the cute dogs on the property. They're so sweet and friendly. All around cute place!
LOVE this winery. They have a gorgeous venue with a barn style inside wine bar that has romantic lighting strung and plenty of seating out of the sun. Outside they have bench style seats with tables to enjoy in the sun or under the shade of their beautiful trees. There's also a few corn hole games set up for some fun! Not to mention their onsite Brick L'Oven is some of the best pizza in the valley and pairs soooo well with their scrumptious wine. Perfect for wine tasting with friends or if you're looking for a wedding venue for your special day.
My friends had been here before and raved about their brick oven pizza so we ordered a cheese pizza and Hawaiian style (cant remember the exact name). We ended up ordering a third of the Hawaiian since it was SO good! The cabernet was not my favorite but to each their own. I would definitely come back for the pizza and atmosphere! The grounds are beautiful and would great for hosting a small event.
This family run winery is always so fun to visit. Besides yummy wine, each child of the owners has a unique job. One makes pizza, one is selling merchandise, one is a cashier and one is the winemaker. It's wonderful to support our local winery!
Ziveli Winery is a cute winery located inside of a barn! I love how there are cute dogs inside that welcome you when you enter the winery. This place also is quite cheap! It's only $5 for 6 types of wine for tasting. The servers here are all super nice too. Would recommend anyone to go here!
Drive West on Shaw and turn right onto Biola Avenue. A wonderful experience awaits you. For ten dollars you can sample 5 wines. Each month those wines change. Bottles of wine range between 29 to 40 dollars. Great selection available. For ten dollars you can choose a great cigar to smoke outside; Cohibas, Diesel, Rocky Patel, Isla del Sol, the list goes on and on. Try one of their wine infused cigars for a new smoking experience. They also can host weddings and other events. Corn Hole is available each day as well. Large television inside to watch the games and a beautiful outdoor seating area. Many events occur such as Line Dancing, Dinner Murder Mysteries, Trivia Night and Chocolates and Cigar Night. If you have been to Ziveli yet, go this week. John Nale and Rhondi Nale, the owners are often in the tasting room pouring and interacting with guests. For a non-pretentious wine tasting experience this is the one for you!

The place was cute. There is a large outdoor or indoor experience. There seemed to be a lot of locals/regulars there. I really enjoyed the Cabernet. They also had a wine slushie which seemed pretty popular. read more

December 6, 2025 - Fresno, CA "We stopped here as part of the Harvest Host program for RVers and was pleasantly surprised to find they were hosting a special event--a Christmas Market. There were several vendors offering a variety of items, plus wood-fired pizza, which smelled amazing. Even though there were quite a few people, we were able to grab a table in the rustic barn tasting area. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and had a warm, festive atmosphere. We also had the pleasure of chatting with the owner, John, who was incredibly welcoming. We enjoyed a tasting of their wines, and bought a bottle of their delicious cabernet. Overall, a wonderful stop and a great experience." read more

My husband and I love this winery. This venue is beautiful and lucky its located right down the street from us. We have gotten thr honor to meet John and his wife Rondi, they are such a wonderful couple. We appreciate all the warm welcomes they have given us. Since I do tend to come her often I have become a wine member and it's such a great deal! Did I mention the pizza is amazing! My favorite wine is Isla and the Chardonnay. Definitely would recommend to come with friends, family, or spouse! read more

Ziveli winery is a hidden gem in Fresno County! Come in and taste wines from valley grown grapes and family operated wine-making ! They have a great selection of whites and reds and a delicious dessert wine Isla! We enjoyed our brick oven pizzas and a flight of 6 plus I purchased 3 bottles at the wine club price! Can't wait to come back to this beautiful place. read more

Finally got a chance to visit this winery and I am so happy I did. My family and I can with a large group. We were greeted with a smile right when we got to the grounds. We enjoyed the wine and even got to try the pizza! Really loved the pizza also. read more
Beautiful location with a great selection of wine. I tried the rivers trio which was sweet and delicious. Definitely recommend it. I'm not a huge wine lover but I could drink that one with every meal. I also tried the white Zinfandel which was pretty good considering the fact that I'm not a huge wine lover to begin with. I loved the atmosphere of the location and the staff was very pleasant. It was gorgeous inside with plenty of seating. It has a very romantic feel and great for a relaxing date night. read more
