You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that energy carries throughout the entire winery. One thing we really appreciated was having the option between dry and sweet wine tastings. My wife prefers dry wines while I lean more toward sweet wines, so it was the perfect setup for both of us. Every wine we tried was excellent, but my personal favorite was the Olallieberry wine, the perfect balance of sweetness with just a little tartness. This wasn't just a wine tasting, it was an experience. Great atmosphere, great wine, and even better company. Definitely a 5-star stop and a place we'll be talking about for a long time.

Even when the live music showed up, we couldn't bring ourselves to stick around because the food and wine were so bad. It's true, we did receive a story with our order. I don't care how good the origin story is if the wine sucks. It tasted like the bottle had been open for way too long (understandable given the lack of business) and the wine wasn't good to begin with so being stale didn't help. We were really there for the popcorn flight, which we had read raving reviews about. It was unimpressive to say the least. We kept expecting the flavors to get better but they only got stronger and more candle / soap like as we sampled. It tasted like the popcorn was doused in essential oils, so strong it was choking us to consume the soggy popcorn. Just brutal. I can't say one good thing about that popcorn. The one star I gave them is for the bow wow bag they gave my pup - it was a little goodie bag of milkbones which he appreciated!

Wonderful Italian blend wine. And very relaxing and stimulating experience with the water features and warming fire pit

The decor is fine.... indoor is pretty but not that large. Outdoor is good but you'd have to weather the elements (too hot or too cold). You really have to like the Santa Ynes valley wines. Otherwise, this won't work for you. It won't have the huge body and big bold hit on the pallette that Nappa wines give you. Otherwise they are OK wines and drinkable. and also the prices are cheaper. Note of caution. Unlike a typical Nappa winery, the cost of tasting does not earn credit or go towards any bottle purchase. I think if you buy 3 or more there is some credit. Also if you have a larger party, they add the 20% gratuity on the gross bill - not on the subtotal. I found out after I paid.

My review regards an interaction on the business side: we fell into a bit of a bait and switch. After the tasting we were talked into joining the club, with assurances that they would contact us to select the wines we would received and also that if it wasn't for us, it was easy to drop out. I honestly forgot all about it. Two months later, I received a receipt for a wine order about to be shipped, so I contacted them to see if I could stop the order because I actually don't drink these days. I got the rather surly and impertinent response "But you barely joined a month ago." The cost of the "complimentary tasting" turns out to have been a two-shipment minimum. I don't recall hearing that but had I I probably would not have agreed--I'm not into these kinds of commitments. In short, a caution about signing up for their club. They'll be unusually desperate to keep you.
