Valensin is a hidden gem with its beach-like environment and tasty wine. The taco truck on site was a nice feature also. Plenty of parking, a chill environment and great place to hang out with friends and meet people. I'm sure I'll become a regular with their many events like comedy night, R&B, freestyle, paddle boards, etc.

I came here for their dueling piano event and was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the…read moreproperty is. The vineyard is very well maintained, with manicured grounds and a scenic lake. They even offer boating and paddleboarding, which adds a fun, active touch to the experience. Parking: Free with a decent number of spots for around 100 guests, but it could feel congested for larger events. There's only one way to in and out, so plan accordingly. Also, the road leading to the vineyard is quite dark at night: some areas have little to no lighting, so make sure your headlights are working well, especially since it's a bit of a drive from the main street. Drinks: Some of their popular options include: * Peach Mango Sparkling (11%, Lodi) * Zinfandel 2024 (15.6%, Lodi) * Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2019 (14%, Lodi) * Pomegranate Sparkling (11%, Lodi) They offer picnic snack trays, and for events, they bring in food trucks, which is a nice touch. Service: Friendly and efficient. One downside was staffing and restroom access. It seemed like they were a bit understaffed, and only 2 restrooms were open while others were locked. For an event with around 100 people, this led to long lines, especially in the cold. The event itself was held in a white outdoor tent by the lake, which created a great atmosphere. However, the path to the tent is all gravel with no defined walkway, something to keep in mind if you're wearing heels or thin sandals. Overall, it's a lovely venue with a unique setting, great for small weddings or intimate gatherings.

A guest at wedding had to go out and purchase tank of propane because heater wasn't working. These are both basic expectations to be part of the service at a wedding venue. The meal was supposed to be family style. Instead of placing all dishes on table so guests could enjoy properly, timely and pass amongst themselves, servers would bring one dish at a time and several minutes later servers would bring another dish....so you didn't have your entire meal available at same time. Not at all how a family style meal should be presented or organized. In general I thought the event was unorganized and not well thought out.

Now that life has settled down a bit I need to give love to where love is deserved...The memories this place has and will forever hold for us is incredible. I want to start off by saying getting married comes with so much work, head space and money. I downloaded so many wedding apps to help me in any way and our top priority was our venue. Where we want to leave memories that we can cherish and hold on to. We found this vineyard through a few wedding apps and felt it wasn't far for families to travel to but far enough to feel special. During our consultation we got to meet the AMAZING Alina who owns the vineyard. She introduced us to some delicious wines and got down to business of touring her venue and the scenery she has to offer. Within moments it felt like a dream. The warmth her vineyard offers with her family as the caretakers you can tell they pour themselves into what Grace Vineyard is. A place for people to come and relax and enjoy life. A place to create memories. The fact that her vineyard offers all inclusive as well was just the cherry on top! When I say she takes care of you I mean she takes care of you. We had children at our wedding which most people do not want to deal with the stress of baby sitting but with Alina not only did she offer fun jumbo grass games but she also offered a lifeguard on hand to make sure no little ones got into the pool. The worry of drama was out the door when she offered all night security as well! We also had a 9 person band and with constant communication we were able to have my husband have his wedding dream by having a live band! Her willingness to make sure that our wedding was everything we wanted and more I just couldn't have asked for a better day. My husband and I will forever love this place and keep a spot of them and Alina in our hearts. We will definitely be back to enjoy our favorite wine and truly just come back to bring the memories of our wedding day again. Would recommend this place to ANY Bride.

It's such a versatile wine, and I can't wait to serve it at dinner parties or give it as a gift!

I enjoyed the wine flavors here a bit better. I'm more for the lighter white wine selections these days. They gave me good options. The outdoor garden area with patio seating is pleasant.

The expanse of the vineyard itself is amazing in the forefront of blue skies and sunlight. Lots of parking is available on their gravel lot. What I do know, cuz of my sis, is that they're a dog-friendly establishment. (Please remember to bring appropriate snacks and drinks for the pups.)

The grounds, buildings and tasting room are beautiful, a sophisticated rustic cabin appeal with manicured landscaping and a craftsman style main building. We stood at the main tasting bar to try four wines. The Chardonnay and especially fhe old vine Zinfandel stood out as excellent to us and we ended up getting some bottles. As there weren't many folks doing a tasting on a weekday we got VIP treatment and had a deljghtful conversation, and education about the wines, from the person pouring for us. We really enjoyed our stay and the surroundings made it extra nice. Compared to the hype of Napa and Sonoma this winery and others in the Lodi area are down to earth and affordable in comparison, especially for tastings. This place very much is worth a visit. Sitting outside to sip a bottle must be delightful too.

Unfortunately we were a large group and I didn't get a chance for food/drink pictures so you'll just have to see for yourself! Looking forward to warm weather and more afternoons in the sun here.

We were greeted by friendly staff and a complimentary pour. Prior to visiting Heringer Estates, I noticed they offered a sweet flight which was a huge reason why I wanted to visit; however, it was not on the menu. Luckily for me they were able to accommodate me by making a custom flight. Our flight of tastings consisted of three pours: Moscato, Chardonnay, and a port. We even received a sample of their popular wine slushy. My friend and I both ordered the same tasting and we were very impressed with all of them. She especially liked the moscato, and I especially liked the chardonnay. Although, I really did enjoy all of them. The staff member seemed very knowledgeable and explained each one to us. I can't wait to come back for more! Especially on a warmer day to enjoy a wine slushy. If you enjoy going on walks, they have stairs that lead you to the levee. Their vineyard is only a twenty-minute drive from Sacramento. If you don't like crowds, I recommend going on a week day.

Then there is the wine. It is very pricey and what I would consider very underwhelming in taste. Given the average nature of the wine and the tasting fee of $10.00 a person, we didn't feel purchasing anything was justified. Although they do waive one tasting fee for each bottle purchased, the price point of the bottles is very high and doesn't make sense unless you happen to love the wine. We didn't.

Service was really friendly and they were really quick on their feet. They were very accommodating with bringing hot sauce and Juice when we requested it. . The Highlight item that we really like is the Pea Sprout bruchetta which has a grilled sourdough with formage blanc cheese spread. Definitely fresh and different and healthy. . We really like the bubbles it was very refreshing and has a nice touch of Granny apples to the opening of the bubbles. It was not on the sweet side and it was perfect for appearing with lighter dishes that is offered on the menu. . We also enjoy cow's milk Barada which was a very unique dish with Szechuan pepper and a really nice pistachio nuts and honey and the burrata which was very tasty and very complex and goes well with a Malbec red wine. . Overall I will come back and visit this place again with future menus as they do change monthly or whenever the season is in stock with new items. If you're looking for somewhere to have good Bubbles and a brunch they are serving it here and look no further and Lodi. Hope this helps and thanks for reading and have a yelp-tastic day.

This was Viaggio Winery's first prom event, and they did an amazing job! Everything ran smoothly, the space was beautiful, and the atmosphere they helped create made the night truly special for our students. A special thank you to Shawn Sodhi and Fahad -- they were both so kind, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of and were always willing to collaborate and problem-solve with us. Our students, staff, and families had such a memorable experience, and we truly appreciate the care and effort that went into making the night so successful. We highly recommend Viaggio Winery for any event and would absolutely love to work with them again in the future! Thank you!

Shoutout to the West Sacramento/ Clarksburg area…read more... The Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg is a historic beet sugar refinery from 1934-1993 that has wine shops and tasting rooms for local wineries. They have over a dozen wineries. Wine tastings average $15 and most wineries waive the fee if you buy a bottle. They have wine shops in the main building and in the other building. Don't forget to walk back and to the right to the shops in the separate back building, there is 3-4 more wineries. Each winery are literal walled shops with their own seating areas. Temperature controlled which is nice on hot summer days. Each have their own wine tasting, food offerings, and special events. Old Sugar Mill is less than 15 minute drive from downtown Sacramento. The buildings are beautiful. They kept the historic brick walls and exterior. It has a modern shabby chic look. Three different brands owned the refinery. It all began in 1934 with Amalgamated, American Crystal Sugar Factory (1936-1982), and Delta Sugar (1983-1993). The sugar was refined by local Northern Californian grown beets. The buildings was renovated in 2000 for its current use. Awesome concept and beautiful architecture design. They also host weddings and events. They have a banquet room with slideshow equipment. There is also an outdoor lawn and adjoining paved patio area that is shaded in the afternoon by the buildings that would make for a gorgeous wedding venue. On hot summer days, the Delta breeze kicks in for instant cool down. No outside food are picnics are allowed. On the weekends, they have food trucks. Plus the majority of the wineries sell food (appetizers) as well. Also no pets are allowed (excluding service animals). The restrooms are located right by the front entrance.

They have many events here, including private events and wedding. The upcoming event is Port and Chocolate for Valentine's Day. That sounds so delicious. I loved chocolate and my husband is always up to trying another port. Parking- They have a private lot and we were able to easily find a parking spot right in-front of the entrance. Bathrooms- They have many stalls in the bathroom located to the left of the entrance. Temperature- It's cool inside, a little too cool for us today. It was 63 degrees out today and warm in the sun. I bet in the sweltering heat of our summers this is the perfect place to be. The Sugar Mill is an indoor venue. They have three different building with different wineries at this time. So, there is a little walking outside. Wine Barrels- You can buy half wine barrels for your garden for sale. Seating- They have lots of little seating areas. Inside they have a whole room with seating and nice decor. The tables are draped in white table cloths and there are stacks of wine barrels as the back drop. They have a palm court in the back and it's so quaint and beautiful. Perfect for sipping some wine slowly and chit chatting with friends. If you are looking to sit in the sun there is are a set of tables and chairs out back near the food truck. Ambiance- I love the location and building. It's an old Sugar Mill that produced sugar from sugar beets. That industry has now ended and it's now a place to visit many wineries. It's the only place that I know of that have numerous wineries and offer wine tasing for a minimum fee.
