    Really enjoyed this winery last year, but seems we will be taking our business elsewhere in future. The management here made the decision to completely ban you from taking anyone under 21 onto the property by getting rid of family days. Am sure they will say they had issues with parents not keeping an eye on kids, but ban the bad parents, rather than taking it out on everyone. Also, they never even bothered to inform their members as far as I can see in their many update emails. If you’re a family that likes a trip out to a winery - I recommend Cooper-Garrod or Picchetti - which both welcome well behaved children, and also arguably have

    Came here on a beautiful Sunday to try their wine and have a picnic on their beautiful grounds. Turns out they have live music every weekend during the spring and summer. On this particular day it was jazz and blue. So there we were with our wine, food and music, and the day couldn't have been better. Okay, maybe a little sunscreen wouldn't have hurt. Lol... Go check them out, I think you will have a great time as well!

    Hosted my 30th Birthday here and could not have been more impressed by this venue! The staff is amazing, so kind and so helpful! Not to mention the wine is great and the views are beautiful. 10/10 would recommend coming here for an event or even just a casual outing. They also let you bring in your own snacks to enjoy with your wine, which was super helpful for a group of ~20. Big thank you to Kelly, Steve, Mikey and the rest of the staff! You were all awesome. We'll be back soon!

    Welcoming atmosphere. Beautiful decorations. Not crowded on weekdays. Only cost 20 bucks for wine tasting. You can sit indoor or outdoor. Good for small group of people 20 people or less.

    Amazing experience! My husband and I brought our friend here to experience her first wine tasting in California. We had an amazing time. The price, the view, the ambiance, and the service was perfect. We went on a Monday so things were much slower and we could not go into the fields but that did not make it any less fun. We did the daily tasting + the port wine. The port wine to finish is a must! Our server was the absolute best! It was such a pleasure chatting with her. We will most certainly be back for music night.

    They do not care about customer service. Passive-aggressive attitude by owner. We used to be members but had to cancel our membership for numerous reasons: 1. Smelly porta-potties when they have working bathrooms on the property. We were told the bathroom plumbing needs an upgrade- 3 years ago! Seriously, you can't fix the plumbing in 3 years? 2. Water to wash hands outside the porta-potties ran out and they did not replace. 3. Closed the villa area (where you actually have nice views) on the weekdays. Now they have tables and chairs in the parking lot! No views, just look at the side of the barn on one side, porta-potties on the other, and the dirt on the side of a hill in front of you while you drink wine, yes, in a parking lot. We went on a weekend and the owner was mad that cars were parallel parked and not angle parked. She then refused to let anyone up to the villa until she made everyone move their cars. She said she wanted to "inspect" the villa area before letting people up in 45 minutes (it was 4:15 and she said no one is allowed up until 5:00). So, about 30 patrons were waiting in the parking lot. No one believed her "inspection" excuse, especially since all the other weekend days we have gone, we never had an experience where the villa area was not accessible. 4. Closed the trails near the creek. This was a beautiful walk in the redwoods near a stream. One the of the first things this owner did was closed access to the trail. 5. Poor attitude- "I'm the owner and I'll do what I like." So many other wineries in the region for such behavior from the owner. I am sure the owner will reply with some lame explanation how she was being reasonable but it is the patron who is at fault. Do not believe it! I have no desire to write a negative review for a local business. However, the situation merits a posting. Unless she just changed past responses, if you look through the negative reviews and the owner response, not once does she indicate perhaps the winery needs to adjust. The customer is always wrong. This tells you all you need to know.

    Brought a group of ladies to picnic and wine taste and we all had a great time eating and talking. It could not have been a more perfect day! Great weather and beautiful venue and a great host...Michael. We had a great big table with canopy and a beautiful spread of food we brought ourselves. The little wine we had was enjoyable and we will definitely becoming back. The lady (new employee?) who gave us our pours was kind enough to come out of the wine tasting room and pour for us at our big table. The only thing that disappoints is the actual pourings were so mini micro that it really does not qualify as a "tasting" in the wine tasting sense. I think our pours were not even a single mouth full...definitely averaging under an ounce. We were ok with it cuz we were so busy enjoying our time together over food primarily. We would have bought a bottle but we wouldn't know which wine to buy since the tastings were so partial we really didn't have a strong opinion on one vs the other.

    Beautiful property, friendly folks, and tasty wines. The membership is really nice especially if you have guests coming to town. Take them for tasting with a picnic lunch. Summertime music series is also nice, but can be a bit more crowded.

    Such a lively place! Celebrated a birthday this Sunday. Very sunny, cozy, beautiful. Wine testing was amazing! There is a special atmosphere far away from the gustle of the city, in the mountains...

    Had a lovely time tasting here on the MLK holiday. We drove in a handicap van. They have 2 handicap spots next to each other. We double parked because we needed room for the ramp to come out of the van. Getting into and navigating the winery in a wheelchair was easy, and we could go all the way up to the house.

    Decided to try this place after checking out some reviews. Drove all the way out here and when I pulled up into the property I start seeing signs on the property that says no persons under 21. We had a baby with us and thought ok we'll just go in and see/ask about it. Parked the car, pulled out the stroller and noticed an older lady in a golf cart staring me down but not saying anything. I push the baby around outside while the rest of my group goes inside. They're greeted nicely by a host when the lady runs up to him and whispers something to him. Now they're told that no body under 21 is allowed and that we could not stay. Guess we're not welcome. I truly appreciate the manager lady not saying anything to me as I was pulling out the stroller and instead chose to be passive aggressive and had an employee shoo us away. Funny that the no one under 21 sign has "Family Day" right on the back of it. I just wanted to check out some vineyards in the area and quickly looked something up based on reviews. Didn't know I had to look into the actual website and scroll all the way to the bottom to see that no kids are allowed on the premise at all. Hopefully this review serves as a warning to any body thinking about coming here with kids.

    This place is really cool, Mikee (two E’s) took great care of me and gave me some really useful information on wine. I did the daily tasting and he might of snuck in an extra glass or two during the presentation. Everyone is really friendly and it’s a great spot for a small get together. Highly recommend this place!!!
