I was really impressed by this place! It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but if you are in the area or passing through, this is a great find! When we pulled up to the parking lot, I thought the arch of grapes was a nice welcoming touch, and I liked the pretty gazebo on the side, where we snapped a few photos before we began our tasting. The tasting room was nice, and there were a couple different things to check out and purchase if you'd like. It was a bit busy and they seemed to be understaffed so we had to wait a bit to begin our tastings, which was fine with us since we were having a relaxing Sunday. For just $5, you get to try 6 of their wines, and there is quite a large list to choose from-I had difficulty just picking 6 so the BF and I teamed up to pick 12 different wines, and there were still quite a few that I wanted to try and was unable to, but maybe another time. I enjoyed most of the wines I tasted. Joyce and Candace were extremely kind and knowledgeable. My faves were the Runaway White (which we purchased a bottle of), the Muscat, and Tempranillo. All the bottles were very reasonably priced! I definitely plan to come back sometime in the future to try the other wines I missed along with my faves, and purchase more wine. It would also be nice to come here with a picnic and dine among the vines! :) read more

See all

Sooooo lovely, the ladies there are very sweet and their wines are absolutely amazing!

I don't know the name of the lady working today (Candace)? She is very rude. Im so frustrated with the service here. How much effort does it take to be friendly?? maybe the owners should install some cameras to keep an eye on some of their employees. Unacceptable service If you want good service-go when the owner Cindy is there -she's very nice. read more

The wine is very good, but Candace pours so light that you barely even taste it.

Lotsa nibbly things and good wine, too. Like the hot spiced wine fresh from the crockpot. Good antidote for cold day! Farmers market here too. read more

Joyce poured a tasting for is and she was absolutely delightful. The Chardonnay (just $16) was crisp and clear and the red blend "fusion" was a lovely mix of send you visited Marlo and Zinfandel. It was a lovely relaxed tasting environment. Room was cute but most of all the conversation with Joyce made things memorable. read more

Found this place when we made a wrong turn on 20th Street, and I'm glad we did. Their staff in the tasting room was very friendly and helpful. Some of their wines (like the Zinfandel) I really enjoyed, others I thought were decent. I liked the selection of wild game they carry, also they offer canned San Marzano tomatoes which are always a welcome find. read more

I had a good time there. But I have to say it was disappointing. Getting a minimal amount of wine not poured freely felt very cheap. overall, the taste of the wine was good though read more

A charming little winery. Good wines locally produced and reasonably priced. Grapes are grown. Wine club members enjoy discounts on all purchases beyond wine. The grounds have a lively gazebo and they have hosted weddings on the property. read more

My first trip wine tasting had a very nice lady kind enough to help us first timers. The Red and White Runways are so good! As well as Paloma Blanca yummy! Can't wait to come back for the pairings wine tasting!! read more

Mother's Day included wine tasting at Antelope Valley Winery. They were very nice, and gave us two complimentary samples plus some chocolate for my wife for Mother's Day. We ended up selecting two white wines from their inventory and went home very happy. Also bought one of their orange and chocolate bars. Great experience, very welcoming atmosphere, and their wine is excellent. read more

The price you pay for the amount of wine you get is pretty pathetic. I usually enjoy wine tasting and learning about different wines but this winery felt cheap and stingy. I hope management reads the reviews and changes things. This could be a really fun outing and I'd love to support this local business. read more

Great place to enjoy some wine tasting in the AV, sweet cyndee white wine is delicious. Right now the grapes are out on the vines and it's cool enough to walk around outside. Next month they will be harvesting the grapes for wine! read more

The wines were good. My friend and I had mostly sweet wines. We purchased one wine while we were there. It was great once the tasting started but when we arrived it took over 30 minutes to be acknowledged by their employee another 15 minutes to get a tasting started. Plus the whole two tastings, we only were given 4 cracker sticks between the two of us and the employee kept saying she would get more and never did. I understand it was a sudden waive of people but I go wine tasting in tehachapi or Paso Robles, I am at least acknowledged and started on my wine tasting when they get busy. The lady was very nice and sweet just really slow. I probably won't be back unless I have 1 1/2 hour to waste. read more

This is a great place. I was so happy I found this winery. The price for wine tasting is cheap. The staff are very knowledgeable about wines. read more

Really enjoyed me experience here. Me and my husband went on valentine's day (super late review) for a wine tasting and had a very nice time. Amazingly reasonable, cost wise and selecting wines was a very simple process. The ladies who served us were very attentive and knowledgeable. It's a standing room only establishment, so I suggest you wear comfortable shoes. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely go back. read more

Who would have thought, a winery out here in the desert. A good one at that. You can taste several varietals and the staff is very helpful with questions. I am partial to the burgundy, but each time I visit , I seem to find a new favorite. The shop is well supplied with all wine related items as well as gift ideas. Can't leave the place without purchasing either buffalo steaks or several game meats. read more

My wife stopped by this establishment to have some wine shipped to her parents for Christmas, to find she had a flat tire... The employees and owner wanted to leave for the day and had my wife drive out of the parking lot on a flat tire onto the side of the road to deal with it by herself... I got over there as quickly as I could to find her sitting on the side of the road in the dark... We have been a member of the wine club for years but will cancel now... This lack of customer service and concern for someone's wellbeing is unacceptable!!! read more

We took our mother in law here Mother's Day! Great wine tasting and Candace was an amazing host! We had a wonderful time.

The wine here is good, but what really makes this place amazing are the pairings and the farmers markets. The farmers markets are stellar and have amazing produce and food. They have pairings every week with everything from chocolate to wild boar tacos. read more

I was very disapointed in the service we received here. We were met by a woman whom was very stand-offish, (she was not wearing a name tag, or else I would mention her name). She was impatient with us while we waited for more friends to arrive. When we had questions regarding the different wines they serve she got irritated as if we should just know the answers and were wasting her breathe having to tell us. When asked our opinions of the wines we chose to taste, we gave honest answers and she acted as though we offended her personally, (if we don't like a wine, we don't like it). After that our portions of our tastes became barely a sip to try at all. When finished, she didn't clean our glasses before bagging them up, she insulted my sister about her tastes in wine and made constant remarks about appreciating everyone's tastes but my sister's. All in all none of the four of us will ever return. read more

What a wonderful experience! Wine is great and customer service perfect! The winery was hosting a wedding and completely full. The wonderful people at the winery were able to set up a table and chairs for us anyways and we enjoyed a nice afternoon. read more

small mom and pop winery with fairly substantial offerings. the lady that served us and gave us the tour was so very sweet and kept giving us additional tastings. i would go back for sure! read more

This was a great tasting adventure! I loved that they serve primarily local wines. The service was great and they openly welcomed our dog. This is a classy AV establishment and I encourage everyone to give it a try. read more

Our group of 6 had a very nice visit to the AV Winery yesterday. Thanks Nancy for making us feel welcome! We liked all the wines...some more than others...and each couple bought a couple of bottles to bring home. The selection of meats and cheeses were a good choice to pair with the wines. The gazebo in the vineyard was a pleasant place to share some more time with good friends and more AV Winery wine. read more

There is a range of wines from ok to very good! Medels have been won for their wines.
