Well to start off my wife and I were not fans of Rombauer partially because they drove the cost of…read moretastings up in Amador fairly significantly and we felt they were bringing the Napa Vibe into the Shenandoah wine region which we're not fans of. However, after giving them an honest chance, we found that their wines are superb across the board. The staff are all very friendly and the vibe is not Napa-esque. ALL their wines are worth the money they cost and thus we are now members. Franklin does a great job!

We sat inside since the weather wasn't that great outside. They have beautiful grounds to taste wine and have a picnic. Since we sat inside we had Jake waiting on us. He was very nice. He gave us a bottle of water to start with and we went through the tasting list with a couple of extras. He put our wine club pickup together for us. We decided to swap out a couple of bottles. I thinks it's truly annoying they have to refund the entire wine pick up and recharge you again. It's not a friendly user experience and should be reviewed. Credit the two bottles and recharge the 2 bottles. I think it would be a simple process for the customer and the winery, and still have good accounting practices. I asked if we could have the complementary breadsticks everyone else was eating them and the girl behind the counter said we are all out. OKAY! I really love the Chardonnay it's my favorite. Rombauer makes some great wines. Bottles can be costly, but once you open the bottle and you have your first - three sips, you know why you're in the wine club. As a member your tastings are complementary which is a nice benefit. I'm happy that they hold our wine club bottles until we come to pick them up usually twice a year. It would be nice if they did complementary shipping for a penny all the time.

More importantly, the wine and overall experience never disappoint--and I can happily say that after several visits. In addition, Fair Play offers dozens of wineries, many within view of the hilltop where Sentivo sits, several of which also serve excellent wines. **Bottom line:** Put Sentivo and the entire Fair Play region on your list.

The wines are all from the El Dorado area and were very delicious. I especially liked the Chardonnay it tasted like crisp apples on a fall day. I was super impressed with all the wines and the tasting are $5.00 for 5 tasting and if you buy a bottle of wine you do not pay for the tastings. What a bargain ... Great wines from the El Dorado area that you should put on your list to stop by and buy a bottle of wine and enjoy some tastings.

I visited Cappelli Wine Tasting Room in December 2025, and it completely exceeded my expectations…read more Marco Cappelli's wines are simply incredible--you can taste the care and craftsmanship in every sip. Add a glass of their Syrah or Pinot, and it doesn't get much better than that. You can tell Marco Cappelli is a master of his craft. They're sustainable, high-quality, well-made wines and unlike anything I've had before. I was there on the weekend and treated myself to their pizza, which was amazing! Perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with the wine. I also tried their charcuterie platter, which was the perfect complement to the tasting. I loved how thoughtful their wine club is, too--it's a refillable bottle system, which makes it eco-friendly and super convenient. This spot is an absolute hidden gem, and I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Placerville.

The only time to do it is when I feel strongly that something is wrong. Not even the panoramic view can save Skinner anymore, and that used to be my favorite part. The wine is not as good as it used to be, either. Customer service has gone downhill over the years and is now some of the worst I've ever experienced in my life. If you have mobility issues of any kind, please be warned before coming here. This was our last stop during this year's Passport weekend a few months ago. I know, why didn't I review before? I should have. I don't have an excuse other than being behind in my reviewing as a way of life on Yelp. I was also and continue to be embarrassed. Reading this might cause second hand embarrassment, fair warning. I have been having ongoing back (sciatica) issues which can make it painful to stand or walk for prolonged periods, and I was really going through it on the day I was last here. So, I decided to use the handrail and try to go down the stairs to the tasting area. I really should have used the ramp (I did on my way out, undaunted), but instead slowly made my way down the stairs trying not to wince. I probably just looked like another drunk fat girl having trouble with stairs. And in fact, I did indeed to one staff member in particular. She clearly knew nothing about wine, and one wonders why she even found herself working here. When pouring for me and my friends, she gave me a tiny pour in comparison. I know I probably looked down at it and frowned, being tired, in pain, and wondering uhhh why? Her response to this was to laugh loudly at me and tell me that I was clearly drunk walking down the stairs like that and didn't need anymore wine. She was watching me, she said. (Watching me struggle down the stairs. What a nice person.) She continued to laugh thinking she was so funny and superior. Yikes on bikes. Girl, when I tell you I was shocked I mean I was stunned silent. I didn't know what to say or do. Not only did I feel embarrassed for myself but I felt embarrassed for her. Why would you do that to someone? Someone you don't know? My friends were kind and distracting and made me feel better, and I didn't want to cause a scene so I didn't say much of anything else to her. I just wanted her to go away, to be frank. I know she couldn't know what I was feeling if I didn't say so but you know what? It does not matter. What she did was not only hideously rude and unprofessional. It. was. dangerous. You do not. discourage someone. from using mobility or accessibility aids. The way they were intended. Ever. For any reason. That is what they are there for. Drunk or not, which I was not. But even if I was. People like me who have only started recently to experience mobility issues are in an especially vulnerable adjustment period, and the last thing we need is to think about our pride and how someone might make fun of us if we decide to use a railing the way it was intended. And not just a random someone at that. A person this winery employs. This was an incredibly unsafe, terrible experience that I never wish to relive, and I hope nobody else, abled or otherwise, encounters this. Skinner, this was completely unacceptable. No, I don't know her name, but she was incredibly rude, loud, and the least knowledgeable person I've ever encountered at a winery.

When we made the reservation for the Pinot Niors we thought we had made the reservation for Myka, since we did it from the Myka website. Upon arrival there was some confusion about our reservation. But our party of 6 finally was seated, a bit far from the tasting room and actually closer to the sister one. Either way the setting was lovely. Our next dilemma was the Pinot Nior flights were not served the day we were there, Friday. No where in our search of the website did any of us catch that. So we ordered other tasting flights from that day's menu. Service for seemed slow or off. We were seated to far from the staff or maybe they serve the members first. Finally the wine maker did stop by the table to introduce himself. It was a short conversation. The overall experience and the tasting left me feeling eh. I made no puchases to take home. They are located across from Blue Barn Provisions to make it easier to find. Myka has several parking spot just off the road.
