I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but this experience truly deserves it. Every time…read morewe visit Calivirgin Winery in Lodi, we always hope Rachelle is there--and that alone says a lot. She has a way of making each visit feel special without trying too hard. She's welcoming, genuine, and incredibly knowledgeable, but never overwhelming. Instead, she creates a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer and come back again. What really sets her apart is her consistency. It's not just one great visit--every time we've been there, she's gone above and beyond with the same positive energy and attention to detail. Because of her, this winery has become our go-to spot. I even celebrated my 50th birthday here, and it was such a memorable experience. All of my guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing Rachelle was--everyone felt taken care of, comfortable, and truly impressed with the service. The winery itself is beautiful, accommodating, and perfect for gatherings, which made the celebration even better. On top of that, the entire team at Calivirgin is fantastic. Everyone we've interacted with has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming, which really adds to the overall experience. The wine is excellent, the setting is great, and the people are what truly make this place stand out for us. We'll absolutely keep coming back, and a big reason for that is Rachelle.

We stood 6+ people deep line of customers waiting to be acknowledged. There were a lot of other employees working... walking past us and chilling. I guess front desk was not a priority to have multiple people covering or filling in. I finally just asked if we could seat ourselves, which i was told I could go to bars. We ultimately had a good time and Sophia was good to us at the bar. As a student & ptomoter of "efficiency" & "customer service", i would love to impart some wisdom in these areas, to help your business thrive. Good & tasty products!

Was talking with a local bakery owner and she recommended this spot for local gourmet gifts. I was…read morenot disappointed by the friendly staff, awesome selection, and great prices. The day I was there, one of their suppliers dropped off some freshly baked sourdough loaves, still hot from the oven. There were also containers of locally baked cookies being sold near the register, which I regretted not buying during my drive back to the Bay! Plenty of jarred oils, spices, and sauces too. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in the area. Maybe they'll have those cookies again!

We also ordered the mussels and calamari. The mussels in the tomato sauce they came in were absolutely delicious! I was worried I wouldn't like the calamari because I'm not a fan of steak-cut calamari, but it was soooo good! You could really tell it was freshly breaded and fried. We also ordered the M&M pizza and the Super [something--I forgot the name ]. Both pizzas were crispy, with a moist and soft crust. 5/5 pizza! For dessert, we got the tiramisu and chocolate gelato, and both were really good. The chocolate gelato is HUGE and definitely shareable. The restaurant is super cute! I recommend sitting outside for a different atmosphere. We didn't realize the outdoor patio was still enclosed, so we ended up sitting inside. I wish we had sat outside! The service was okay. Our server was nice, but between the assistant server and our server, there were a few times when we felt left unattended. Maybe they thought they each checked on us ‍ I definitely recommend this place, and we will be coming back!

Sonoma Harvest Olive Oil & Winery in Fairfield, CA…read more Their signage caught my eye as we were in our way to the jelly belly factory. So we made a mental note to stop on in after busying JB. After the visit, we beelined to Sonoma Harvest. Unbeknownst to us, the shop was closing in 10 minutes though. (Yes, they have posted hours outside but I didn't look before I went in). The associate enthusiastically welcomed us in and politely told us we are welcome but closing in 10 minutes. So I told here it was our first time and was just going to take a quick look. She and the others was closing but she multi tasked and spoke to us. As I did my self guided world wind tour of the space; she was engaging and spoke about the olive press, operations and offerings. She didn't have to speak to us, but did anyway. Definitely bookmarking to come back in the near future. They offer wine and olive oil & balsamic vinegar tastings. They have over 20 flavors of olive oil. That's a lot! Additionally they have a curated line of artisanal and local sourced tapenades, jams, jellies, honey, and gift items. I sampled a few infused olive oils, yum. The interior is beautiful. The vibe is family friendly. The current hours of operation are 12pm-4pm Thurs-Sun.

Two stars for the genius idea of a kid's playarea!!!…read more Wine tasting was $10, nothing remarkable. The olive oil, balsamic and spread tasting was complimentary with wine tasting. The big sign outside really emphasized the olive oil so that was interesting that the olive oils were not the "star" Sad to say but server was borderline unfriendly and barely acknowledged us. We had come by based on the reviews and enticing playarea but unfortunately our son fell asleep in the car so we cruised around for a half hour more​. The sign posted hours 12-6 so we figured it's 230, we've got lots of time. The hours are seemingly unavailable on the phone or web, btw. When we returned it was all closed up. So we went to jelly belly factory down the road instead. On our way back from there we see the doors are open again so curious we stop in. Casually mention this to server and she had zero response. Weird. It was dead inside, no other patrons. Felt unwelcome so we hurried and left. Too bad. Nice space though. Needs work with other issues I mentioned

The music was not loud nor annoying. The lighting takes you away from reality, it give a sense of being in a totally different city even country. It was such a romantic dinner. There were several couples enjoying the moment and the food. Menu/Food: The menu had plenty of options, in my opinion a bit hard to make up my mind. We had a difficult time choosing since everything seemed like a great option. Drinks: they have alcoholic drinks and for people who do not consume alcohol, they also have mocktails which were delicious. We order two mocktails and they were refreshing and felt fancy. Staff: welcome and always ready to help and assist when needed.

Had the best time here for my Husbands birthday lunch . The grounds are beautiful . There's so much…read moregreenery , blooming flowers and the olive trees and the huge tree outdoors while dining made it feel so tranquil and relaxing. I initially booked an olive oil tasting but later discovered that it was more of an educational thing where you have to sit in a room. With a baby and a dog , I was hoping we can just enjoy that outdoors but they weren't able to accommodate. I hope sometime in the future they can change that . Instead of the olive oil tasting , I decided to have lunch outdoors. It was such a beautiful day and a tad windy . We started with some cocktails. Pomegranate Margarita : 5/5 it was the perfect blend of tangy , slightly sweet and the salt rim balanced all the flavors nicely. Also , it was pretty strong . Charcuterie $45 : Wow the presentation for this charcuterie was beautiful . Everything on the board was yummy and was a nice snack for grazing and enjoying it with the cocktail . I really liked the sweet walnuts , olives , wagyu sausage , pickled carrots , cauliflower , & the fig jam . 5/5 French onion soup $20 : I never really think to get a french onion soup but I was convinced that this was the best thing ever .. and guess what ?! It was !! This was probably the best french onion soup i've ever had . It was super rich , savory , and slightly sweet from the carmelized onions . It also had some delicious melted gruyère cheese that was oozing with the soup . The puff pastry on top was soo good . It was nice and comforting . 5/5 Prosciutto and Brie $30 : Dare I say this was probably one of the tastiest sandwiches ever ?! I can't believe prosciutto and brie can taste this good . The combination of garlic aioli , pickled shallots , red onions with farm greens mixed in the sandwich really brought out all the flavors. The only downside is for the portion idk if it justifies the price 4.5 /5 Ordered a special Pre fixe menu that came with farm salad with Quinoa + Olive oil icecream puff pastry dessert $30 + 10 salmon add on to salad . Salmon quinoa salad : This dish was super simple but the fish was cooked to perfection . It was super moist and the quinoa was fluffy and the salad was nicely dressed . 5/5 We had a great time and the food was fantastic. I'm really happy this place was dog friendly and family friendly. It's so hard finding places that accommodate both . Service was great . Luis did a good job on making sure we were taken care of . He was always checking in on us during our meal and was even whispering when the baby was napping . A+ service . Overall this place is a hidden gem . It's a tad pricey for lunch but the quality and service makes it worth it . We will definitely be back again to try the other delicious foods !
