We loved him so much, he's literally like family now (on speed dial) and ready to plan our next event in October; our first baby shower! Thank you Oscar for your personable touch and exquisite demeanor.

Our server told us about the free monthly tours which included all three floors of the house and one was this Saturday, today. The tour was great and there was so much information on John Steinbeck and the history of the Salinas area.

Highly recommend and chicken mushroom crepe is hard to beat. Thank you and we can't wait to be back!

The olive trees and vineyard vines created a gorgeous setting for the wedding. We used the main house courtyard and front lawn for our 210 person wedding. We highly recommend renting the house for the whole weekend. We used it for our wedding party to stay, rehearsal dinner, staging for many prep items, and hair and makeup. The convenience of having the ceremony and reception next to each other was perfect and worked very well for our guests. We had our dance floor outside and rented string lights set up in an umbrella fashion to give the effect of a tent. Overall, we are very pleased with how everything turned out. I need to write a separate paragraph for Anna Russell and her team. Anna was extremely flexible and helpful throughout the whole process. She had good suggestions and helped us figure out issues as they arose. She was very responsive via email and super helpful the week of the wedding coordinating with our vendors. She was organized and kept all the pieces moving smoothly. We would highly recommend her, her team, and her venue to anyone.

As others have noted, the stairs are a bit steep but we had no issues with it. The downside of the property is that it feels quite impersonal. You check in like you would at an AirBnB rental. There is ostensibly an innkeeper on site but we never met (nor needed) them. There were also some difficulties getting our reservation payment process finalized. Even though we reserved via Booking.com, the property uses their own system and the information did not coordinate well. It took multiple messages back and forth with a remote service center before things got squared away. Knowing what i know now, I would just book direct if the rates aligned. BOTTOM LINE: A nice choice at a memorable but slightly quirky property. We would stay here again.

I'm glad we came when it was empty! Tasting fee was $20 for 4 wines but we also got to taste a Syrah and stainless steel Chardonnay. Wines are some bolder and some lighter. Some earth and some fruit. We liked the estate Pinot noir (earthy) and the oaked Chardonnay the best (not as oakey compared to some) We were able to waive 1 tasting fee with 2 bottles purchase. I heard you can go a few times a week and still get free tastings like other places if you are members unlike other wineries. They have spacious outdoor and the indoor is also a good size. Nice and clean restrooms outside in another building. You can bring outside food. I saw that they sell some cheese and snacks too.
