I don't remember the name of the wine , but it was a dark red wine with a chocolate taste to it. They served it with a piece of dark chocolate and wow it was delicious.

Nice wines and knowledgeable staff . Enjoy your tasting then head to the restaurant for a snack

It's almost always crazy busy here but just nuzzle in between 2 couples and you'll do fine. Don't worry, everyone drinking here (as well as working here) is happy to make a new friend.

Come on the weekdays to avoid the crowds. Weekends if you are a member there is a nice happy hour/private tasting area to try out. Love this place!

Lyu

Small but cozy place. Signature menu, wild mushrooms & duck confit linguini is the best! It really goes well with 2010 GVR :)

Heather Denaro

My absolute favorite winery . My two favorite wines are the Romanza and Spumante Diamante. I die. Become a wine club member- def worth it.

Vanessa Rickmon

$15 for 5 tastings a little expensive on weekends but the friendly staff make the difference. Wine newbies are in for a treat at this award winning winery but let your taste buds lead the way.

Food in the members tasting area left a lot to be desired. Was it the left over mistakes from the main eatery ?

As a place to stay, it’s great. Villas are pretty private, have fireplaces and vineyard views and nice tubs. As a tasting room, I’d skip. Overly crowded and depersonalized. - Rachel K
