We spotted it just off the 101 in Greenfield and decided to pull in on a whim. We were greeted by Laurel, who ended up making the experience even better. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through the wines. We decided to try some of the reserve wines and were blown away. The winery itself is beautiful, modern, relaxed, and surrounded by great views right next to the estate vineyards. What was supposed to be a quick stop turned into one of the highlights of our trip. Needless to say, we enjoyed ourselves enough to join the wine club and buy a case to bring back home to Temecula. Looking forward to opening those bottles and remembering a great day.

Too fun not a lot of actual activities were caught in camera since everyone was preoccupied with having fun.

The property is perfect for events, weddings, retreats, and really, gatherings of any kind. It has everything you need- many sleeping options from the main house to the cowboy house to tents, a BBQ and fantastic outdoor eating area, swimming pool, chickens, basketball, games, a pond, and one of the best rope swings ever! Not to mention the award winning wine and vineyards! It's not only beautiful and has plenty to do, but it also has such a warm atmosphere. You instantly feel welcome and comfortable and there's always the option to put your feet up and relax under an oak tree and just soak it all in. My family and I enjoyed long warm evenings there with good food, great wine, and loved ones. What more could you ask for?

We brought some bottles home and really enjoyed them also. 5 stars and beyond! Wecan't wait to go again!

My party of 4 visited the winery on a Sunday afternoon. The wine host explained that they had a…read moreparty on property for the day and were sold out of a few of their wines. He walked us through our options in terms of tasting for the day and we got started. We tasted through 6 wines and made ourselves a picnic on the deck located outside with a nice view. Our wine educator was friendly and accommodating to our group of 4 that were not tasting the same wines. Overall, my favorite wine I tasted was the 2021 Grenache. CRU specializes in Pinot and Chardonnay which are not my favorite varietals but I would still recommend this winery to anyone in the area looking for a nice spot to enjoy a picnic and good wine.

It was such a great way to end the day. Michael Michaud is a true artist when it comes to vino. Crafted in the French style variety, you will surely find something, if not several, to suit your palate. Not only that, he is a sweet and charming man. Top picks when I visited: 2015 Sangiovese 2015 Marsanne Up and coming on the list are a White Grenache, Tempernillo, Cab Franc, Barbera... Holy smokes! I cannot wait for those! Although when you drive to the tasting room you may have the feeling of "Where the heck is this place?" or "Are we ever going to get there?" Be patient. You will, and it is well worth the drive. There are signs to guide you along the way as well. One last thing... Be sure to plan your visit, because at this time, it is by appointment only.

The views were stunning and the wine was delicious, but the best part was our wine connoisseur Sarah!

She listened to what we liked and brought us a great variety to sample, including a fermented wine (kind of like kombucha), an orange wine, and a delicious red blend. She even went digging for a popular Super Tuscan in case there were any bottles left of the limited batch but they were out :( 10/10 experience!

There were terrific wines choices for those who lean red, white, pink or bubbly. But... Prepackaged meals with very little choice and no way to add on or delete? The food wasn't terrible but the presentation is. The staff were attentive and welcoming but , in truth, not as knowledgeable about the vineyard locations and AVAs as they should be. I asked about the current dining situation and was informed that a new menu was being developed that would be more robust and flexible including the addition of hot entrees. I look forward to "eating my words" in this review when that happens. I loved the vineyard views, the staff attitude and the variety of wines available.
