What a hidden gem! So happy I found this winery when searching on google maps for wineries near Loomis. I loved that it was a smaller winery on an organic farm with gorgeous views and excellent service. It is a short 5 min walk up a gravel/dirt road from the small parking area to the tasting area so ladies may want to avoid heels (our sandals were just fine). The couple that owns the winery were so personable, loved that he brought out each of the tastings and chatted with us about the wine & farm origins, while his wife made the biscotti & gave us all samples to try - yum! The tasting was so reasonably priced and I couldn't believe a personal charcuterie board was included too. Of course, the wine was all very good and we purchased some bottles to take home. I only wished we could have stayed longer than the two hour time limit (based on space). read more

Another great experience at Cristaldi Vineyards. we are so happy they are back open after a brief sabbatical. As you make your way up the drive through the Italian Cypress and the olive trees you leave the modern day and arrive in the hills of Italy. Tasting these amazing old world style wines and looking out at the country side you truly forget where you are. This small group intimate wine and food pairing, with the winemaker, is an experience you will want to come back for. read more

Troy was amazing! The wine was exceptional and the tasting experience was even better.

Cristaldi Vineyards is such a lovely, intimate winery tucked away in the hills of Loomis. This winery took us to a quaint villa in Italy with amazing service and incredible company. The owners David and Ramona were such a delight to meet and chat with, they really took the time to have a conversation with you if you wanted to chat but would respect your privacy if you wanted to just enjoy the wine and the view! The wines were also just a delight, they mimicked the flavors of Italy and the tasting included 4 but they also included a complimentary fifth Grenache Blanc and Picpoul wine and it was just perfect on a nice warm sunny day! We highly recommend this winery if you are looking to have a mellow intimate time with an SO or a couple of friends. They also included some breadsticks as we tasted and we really enjoyed their hospitality all around. We will definitely be coming back to stay in their attached airbnb, as the atmosphere was perfect for a little getaway with an amazing pool and optional private dinner. Book your tasting and vacation here! read more

A nice family owned winery tucked away in the hills of Loomis with a very scenic view of the Sacramento valley while you're enjoying your wine. We had to make reservations ahead of time because they are only open in certain weekends each month and the tasting fee is higher than most other Placer County wineries but it is well worth it. We walked through the vineyards to get to the tasting area and were met by the owner. We got to sample 6 wines that day and they provided a charcuterie board to pair with each wine. We ended up buying 2 wines that day and have added this winery to places we like to visit. read more

Cristaldi Vineyards - Wine tasting the right way...pairing food and wine makes the $25 fee worth it - Wineries Near Me - Loomis, California

Reservations only so the parking is sparse, but they tell you in advance where to park. It's a pretty decent dirt hike from the lot to the winery so wear comfy shoes. The winery has no tasting room (I don't think?) you sit at outdoor tables and they serve you at your table. The hosts (vintners?) are friendly and knowledgeable, the personal charcuterie plates are wonderful, the ambience is perfect. They sell items that they make on the side, delicious biscotti, jams etc. The pours were very generous, the wines themselves were just so so, but worth the experience! I would definitely go again! read more

This was a great, cozy and semi private experience. The vibe is very laid back, the charcuterie was delicious and the pairings were perfect w the wines served. The owner and his wife educate you on the wines and pairings and the process each bottle goes through. We got to taste 5 wines, plus each person got their own charcuterie plate. This is a great place to take visitors from out of town. Reservations only. read more

This is the best wine in Placer County and the one of the best tasting experiences in all of California. A wonderful family owned winery where the winemaker pours the wine and his wife makes delicious snacks (olive oil and jam too!) My wife and I spent two hours tasting David's brilliantly made wines from his estate planted with mostly Italian varietals. The prosecco style sparkling was a perfect way to start off the day, but the Sangiovese and Sei Cinque Due (red field blend) were out of this world. We also loved the white piquepoul blend. You are not rushed and David will chat with you about everything to do with making his delicious wines. Do not miss this amazing winery... it's a hidden gem. read more

You will feel like you are in some part of Italy here from the wine to the service...you won't be disappointed!

Just a random stop on our way to the mountains, but boy was it worth it! Dave and Ramona put on a real class act. The wine is great, the atmosphere is totally relaxing (you could believe you are in Italy) and the attention to guests is very personal and one on one, with the owner. We will definitely be back. Thank you for fitting us in! read more

Amazing On all levels. Friendly, attentive, very welcoming, and the wine ... yummy . Not to mention the views . read more

This place is an amazing local gem. I had a wonderful time with some girlfriends here. The place is beautiful!! We made a reservation and the location was easy to find. We sat out on the terrace and there is an amazing view. The owner served us wine and told us about each variation. They also served a yummy meat and cheese board on a marble serving platter... they were personal platters so each person in the party got thier own, which was perfect since we.were all hungry. Will definitely go here again. read more

Great small place, feels like family! Really, really awesome wines. Appointments are required, which we did not have, but they accommodated all 8 of us with incredible hospitality! read more

Cristaldi Vineyards - Wineries Near Me - Loomis, California

We booked a private tasting here yesterday for my birthday and it was amazing! Honestly, I've wine tasted at a lot of places around here on the Placer Wine Trail, Amador Wine Trail, Napa Valley and surrounding areas, but this was the nicest place we've ever been to by far! The owner and his wife were super nice and hospitable! We were greeted with glasses of champagne and an adorable little set up that included a nice sitting area with pretty flowers on the table. The tasting was paced nicely, with info about the wines, as well as a plate of food for each guest that was paired to the wine. The wines were delicious and some of the best we've tasted around here! We will absolutely be back! read more

I never write reviews but I had to for this place. I cannot say enough good things about this winery. I really wanted to go to a local winery for the day that felt like a mini getaway and this place was everything I was looking for. It is Italian style, very quiet and relaxing and the view is breathtaking. When we walked in we were greeted by the owners who are the sweetest couple and they make you feel right at home. They take the time to keep it low key and personal, not rushed at all. You have to make a reservation online first and it is only $20 per person which is well worth it. We got to try their sparkling wine first which was amazing, so light, fresh and fruity and you get to sample 4 red wines as well. All of the wine's were very high quality and they take the time to explain each to you and even provide a charcuterie board with recommendations of which snacks pair best with which wines. There is a small walk to get to the winery from the parking lot which I was nervous about but it was nothing more than a leisurely stroll, there is no steep hill or anything bad, you can wear a short chunky heel and be fine but I would not recommend wearing spiked or tall heels because the ground is gravel. All in all, this is a fabulous spot to visit if you want to get away for the day, it is truly a local gem. read more

Potentially the best of the best for Italian varietals. Winery has been closed for almost 4 years. It once was among my favorites. I found that no one did it better in Placer/Nevada/ Lodi AVA. read more

Charming boutique (homegrown) winery with the feel of old Italy. Lovely outdoor seating area and delicious wines. Book an appointment for wine tasting, cheese and meats with a view of the valley and vineyards. Highly recommend. Almost don't want to publicize this place in fear it loses its "secret" feel. read more

Our first outing in 12 months and it could not have been more perfect. It was a beautiful day, we sat outside and enjoyed the excellent red wines. The charcuterie board was very tasty and the owners were wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back - one of my favorite wine tasting experiences ever! read more

One of the best wineries, if not the best, I have ever visited. We did not have reservations when we arrived but the owner, an energetic, sweet man, was willing to accommodate us with mineral water and delicious breadsticks while we sampled delicious clean reds in the shade of a terracotta house. read more
