Always a great time. Had to wait a bit because they were so busy before covid restrictions started back up, but staff was great and it was nice to sit and chill outside. Very safe. They have really thought this thing out!

Delicious Italian wines and self-serve deli. A great place to stop if you’re in the area or making a day of wine tasting. Plenty of comfortable outdoor seating.

Honestly, the wine was terrible. The service and ambience were nice, but we could only finish half of the tasting because it was - and I hate to describe it this way - gross. If you decide to taste here, bring optimism and a spitoon.

All wine tasting is currently outdoors, due to quarantine. Its hot outside in August. So small pours for tasting quickly reach 90 degrees and do not show well at all.

Attended a friends wedding here, which was an excellent venue. Lovely outdoor setting, nice indoor banquet space, and fantastic food. In addition to the standard dinner fare, they also had delicious fried chicken sliders (as a snack for later in the evening) and donut flambe. Staff were very courteous and attentive. Before the wedding, we had time to try a wine flight, which were all good, and the hostess Maryann was a pleasure to chat with. If youre in the Pleasanton/Livermore area, make sure to stop by!

Beautiful, especially after all the rain everything is so green. We reserved the picnic tables by the vineyards for a 40th bday lunch. Good shaded area. Bought a case and enjoyed the afternoon together.

This wine just isnt for me, but maybe youll like it. Im not a fan of any oak flavor in my wine, as personally I think it detracts from the grapes natural flavors and from the terroir. For me, when drinking wine you should experience the soil, the sun, the cool evening breeze that comes in at night, the moment when the winemaker decided to pick the grapes. In my opinion, the use of oak displays the limits of a wine makers ability to produce quality wine, its a crutch for which far too many wine makers employ. But, if you like the butterscotch flavor, or enjoy the feeling after each sip that you just drank some bourbon, then youll love this place.

Great range of wines, mostly grown on premises. Todd was a great host and had us in smiles for an hour.

One of the most splendid tasting rooms you will find in all the tri-valleys. Beautiful grounds, amazing tasting room, order some food and have a picnic. You really owe it to yourself to stop by for a tasting and stay for the afternoon.

Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience at this winery! We chose to taste the reserve flight, after which we were told if we purchased 2 bottles of wine, our tasting charge of $15 would be waived. We chose to buy the Port and wanted our 2nd purchase to be the standard Cab, which Amy would not let us substitute, despite the fact the Reserve bottle she was suggesting was the same price ($28). The customer service leaves a lot of be desired there- not customer oriented at all!!They need to learn that the customer comes first, and you do not want an unhappy taster/purchaser! We will never go back there again!!!
