    A vineyard in the caribbean? Best place ever! We went to Ocoabay on sunday, we were a group of 7 adults. We arrive early, an hour before the opening. We took advantage of that time to enjoy the view and make a lot of awesome pictures. The vineyard is beautiful, the entrance is a road full of flowers and an awesome view.They received us with a delicious "welcome cocktail", while we were waiting to start our tour, next to the pool. During the tour, we stop in a few spots, one of those was the room with the equipements to processed the grapes; our guide was Albert, he show us how the process is, thedifferents types of grapes, the origin... he also guided us in the winetasting, Albert is a great hostest, with a full knowlege of the vineyard, and marvelous atentions. Sarah was in charge of the charcuterie, with an exquisit artisanal tamarind jam and artisanal cheese, they with all the staff maded our experience extraordinary. After the winetasting we went back to the pool area, we swinmed, we had lunch, the food was delicious, we uncorked a few bottles of that exquisit wine and enjoyed a wonderful day, we left about 6pm. We defetnely recommended the place, so add it to your places to visit list you wont regret. Thanks OcoaBay for the great experience!

    The team communicated with me in a clear and timely manner via WhatsApp. They communicated well with the team at the compound, for the most part. I ordered the complete experience and that was worth the asking price. The welcome Libya drink was absolutely delicious! The food and service in the restaurant was great - it took a long time for the food to come, but it’s likely because the food was prepared fresh. The garlic shrimp that a neighboring table ordered smelled so good! The pizza looked delicious too. The wine tour was informative. I didn’t enjoy being a translator, so I wish they had the tour recorded in English as the tour guide didn’t speak English. The wine tasting was awesome. The tour guides passion fruit grappa was better than the wine, tbh, and I wish they sold it. Still, I’m happy the owners give the knowledgeable tour guide the freedom to create. The wine combos are a great price, as well. It’s too bad you can’t find them at the duty free stores in the airport! The infinity pool was cool and relaxing. This was my first vineyard tour and wine tasting and I highly recommend it. The only downside is that if you are traveling alone or with one or two other people then the only options close by are villas, an expensive all inclusive (not worth it if you are in that region for one day). However you can stay at a small hotel in San Jose de Ocoa, which is about 50 minutes away. Drive an SUV not a sedan because the roads are not low clearance friendly.

    Let me start by saying the venue 5 stars no doubt. It's beautiful, scenery is absolutely stunning. However we went to the restaurant here and the food quality was a big let down. Also both red and white wine were no longer in stock so we tried the rose wine and it was terrible. In short the food doesn't match the venue.

    (Translated by Google) Very disappointed this time. The administration and the cooks have changed. There is no longer a goat palette. Prices have increased sharply. Our favorite kibay wine goes from 1,500 pesos with taxes and the food is to the standard of a dining room. A steak that looks like a shoe sole and goat with a vinaigrette sauce that they use for salad. At the moment I will not return until they change something. goodbye I finally came back after a couple of months thinking something was better. but nothing. worst. There are really only 5 squirts that can be used because the others spend the whole day in the sun, and there are no umbrellas yet. he who does not arrive early got screwed. the menu decreased and remains super expensive compared to what they give. a goat service with rice (I'm hungry) 1,216 pesos taxes included. It is an abuse. Not in the country house. The service enpeoro too. They do not even know how to open a bottle of wine and the dirty dishes remain and without warning nobody picks them up. They spend playing with their cell phones and looking at clients' asses. I think I will never do as before. (Original) muy decepcionado esta vez. han cambiado la administracion y los cocineros. ya no hay paleta de chivo. los precios han incrementado exajeradamente. nuestro vino favorito kibay pasa de los 1,500 pesos con impuestos y la comida esta al estandar de un comedor. un filete que parece una suela de zapato y el chivo con una salsa de vinagreta que usan para ensalada. por el momento no volvere hasta que cambien algo. bueeeno. finalmente volvi despues de un par de meses pensando que algo mejoro. pero nada. peor. realmente hay solamente 5 chelones que se pueden usar porque las otras pasan el dia entero en el sol, y no hay sombrillas todavia. el que no llega temprano se jodio. el menu lo disminuyeron y sigue super caro comparado con lo que dan. un servicio de chivo con arroz (me quede con hambre) 1,216 pesos impuestos incluidos. es un abuso. ni en casa de campo. el servicio enpeoro tambien. no saben ni abrir una botella de vino y los platos sucios se quedan y sin aviso nadie los recoje. pasan jugando con sus celulares y mirando el culo a las clientas. pienso que nunca volvera hacer como antes.

    Peaceful, quiet and interesting place to spend the day. It's a winery that offers a tours through the process as well as tasting, but also has a Club with Restaurant, Bar and Pool with a stunning view to The Ocoa Bay, where the beautiful sunset can be seen. I think the tour is a little bit pricey, but the restaurant prices are totally fair.

    OcoaBay is fantastic. I would highly recommend going for the tour then drinking and eating at the pool. There was a mix up when we went as we had booked online through their website but it was actually closed. They do not accept bookings online only via WhatsApp, but the we somehow managed to book online. When we turned up they were closed with only a few members of staff doing maintenance. Despite this they let us come in and have a bottle of wine in the pool as we had come out of our way for the booking. The staff were superb and we spoke to the owner who was very interesting and friendly.

    This place is a jewel in the South of the Dominican Republic. It's a dry heat so no humidity... views from OcoaBay are amazing.... this is a winery...one of the first in the country I understand. The infinity pool is heavily the wait staff is superior. Get here if you can.

    (Translated by Google) Very beautiful place but they have no signage on the highway or even a small sign. Another suggestion for management, signaling where you can smoke, is an outdoor place, but there are no signs that say smoking area.But it is worth going to know. (Original) Muy hermoso lugar pero no tienen señalizacion en la autopista ni siquiera un pequeño letrero. Otra sugerencia para la gerencia,señalizar donde se puede fumar,es un lugar al aire libre,pero no hay letreros que diga area de fumadores.pero vale la pena ir para conocer.

    (Translated by Google) The truth is that it is one of the most beautiful places I have seen, with magical settings for the best photographs, a swimming pool with the best view of the sea, which is confused with the sky, and in the background the beautiful mountains of the Dominican Republic. The best attention from the staff could not be, they are extremely attentive, friendly and pleasant. They have an exquisite comedy, super good on the palate. As well as drinks. I definitely give it 100/100 (Original) La verdad es que es uno de los lugares más hermoso que he visto, con unos escenarios mágicos para las mejores fotografías, una piscina con la mejor vista al mar, que se confunde con el cielo, y de fondo las montañas hermosas de República Dominicana. Las atenciones por parte del personal mejores no podrían ser, son sumamente atentos, amables y agradables. Tienen una comedia exquisita, súper buena al paladar. Así como las bebidas. En definitiva le doy 100/100

    This place was grea! It has great food, wine, & and an infinity pool with a nice view! I did go with someone from the Dominican Republic so they kind of knew how things worked. When we first arrived my friend did have a short conversation with the guard and we were let in (no fee). With that being said because it's free entry (at least when I went) I believe you are expected to spend some amount of money out of courtesy. We had lunch and two bottles of their homemade wine for roughly $110 USD. It's an easy drive to get to (even though Google and Apple maps gets you lost out there) coming from Santo Domingo. This is a must for a day trip! And great for an Instagram photo shoot 😂😅

    (Translated by Google) This place is incredibly beautiful located inside a vineyard, it has a view towards the bay of Ocoa that will steal your breath and an infinity pool that invites you to never leave it, this place has become the new wonder of the south; In addition to relaxing on one of its terraces or in the bar facing the bay you can also take a tour of the vineyards; the food is very varied despite the fact that the menu is focused on seafood to take advantage of the freshness of the products due to the proximity of the place to the coasts, I started the day with a fairly good American breakfast, I was expecting a little more at lunch in which I opted for sardines, beef steak and for dessert milk flan, in general all the dishes lacked power in the flavor, I think it is a point to improve without making major efforts because the concept of the dishes is very good. In conclusion, OcoaBay seemed to me a spectacular place to get out of the city and spend a day with the best that the south has to offer, beautiful coasts, the ideal climate not to leave the pool, and above all, very friendly people who are always ready to help you. Your experience is unforgettable! (Original) Este lugar es increíblemente hermoso localizado dentro de un viñedo, tiene una vista hacia la bahía de Ocoa que te robara el aliento y una piscina infinita que invita a no salir jamás de ahí, este lugar se ha convertido en la nueva maravilla del sur; además de relajarte en una de sus terrazas o en el bar frente a la bahía también puedes hacer un recorrido a los viñedos; la comida es muy variada a pesar de que el menú está centrado en productos del mar para aprovechar la frescura de los productos por la cercanía del lugar a las costas, inicié el día con un desayuno americano bastante bueno, esperaba un poco más en el almuerzo en el cual opté por sardinas, bistec de res y para el postre flan de leche, en general a todos los platos les faltó potencia en el sabor, creo que es un punto a mejorar sin hacer esfuerzos mayores porque el concepto de los platos es muy bueno. En conclusión OcoaBay me pareció un lugar espectacular para salir de la ciudad y pasarte un día con lo mejor que el sur puede ofrecer, hermosas costas, clima ideal para no salir de la piscina y sobre todo gente muy amigable y siempre dispuestas a ayudar a que tu experiencia sea inolvidable!

    Beautiful vineyard. There was a mix up when we went. We made a reservation online, but it turns out that the vineyard was closed to the public on that day. They recognised the mistake and allowed us to visit, try some wines, and swim in the pool for a few hours. We are very grateful to the staff for accommodating us. I highly recommend visiting this vineyard.

    I live in the Finger Lakes region of New York, United States, where wineries are a dime a dozen. OcoaBay can easily keep up with them and surpasses most in experience. The vast estate is gorgeous and diverse, the tour is fun and informative, and the wines and food are great. All staff I interacted with (several) were so friendly as well as professional so I don't know what happened to warrant bad reviews here but I certainly have no complaints. I highly recommend OcoaBay as it's one of the highlights of our trip!

    We went to their restaurant, the view is spectacular, but the quality to price ratio is not ideal. It feels as though they're charging you the view with their overpricing.

    Incredible view and once in a lifetime experience.. be sure to try KiBay—their signature tropical fruit “wine” (not made from grapes but fermented mango and passion fruit). It pairs perfectly with the scenery and ambiance
