There's several seating areas indoors and out. Upon entering, we were greeted by one of the owners, who's friendly and chatted with us about the winery. The tasting fee is only $10, which is returned if you buy a bottle (we did). The wine is quite good, and much more affordable than Napa. The place is really well maintained, and the view from the patio is beautiful. There were a few celebrations going on, with food and wine. I believe the food was brought in from outside since I didn't see any food service at the winery. This is definitely a nice venue to gather some friends, bring some food, and enjoy their wine.

Though we are not nearby, we will be taking some bottles home -- particularly the pomegranate sparkling for a dessertif.

This one has outdoor seating with a fan and indoor seating ; which reminds me of being in someone's living room chillin. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My husband decided to try a wine tasting flight for $20; if you do a tasting and buy a bottle of any wine ; the tasting fee comes off. Makes good sense to me. The bottle of wine for the tasting are color coded with the name of the wine on paper. Pretty cool concept ; a tasting flight built around your own timetable. I decided to go for a glass of their gold dust ; omg ! Is this really wine or am I drinking liquor ? lol. This wine was strong , bold ; powerful and fruity all at the time. It consisted of dried fruits, Carmel, honey, maple, tea, strawberry jam, chocolate and more. Hahaha basically a bit of everything. So sweet and delicious . A glass of this is $10; however so worth it. Decadent and divine.

During our visit, there was a party with tables and seats set up on the lawn. The tasting room is rustic with some seating and a record player and crate of records. Guests are encouraged to bring their own records too. The tasting fee is $10 and you get to try about 6-7 wines. I don't drink but I enjoyed sitting outside and soaking in the view. Hubby really enjoyed the wine and bought several bottles. Coming from the bay area where Napa wines are pretty pricey, these wines were a real bargain at about $30 or less a bottle.

We didn't have a reservation, but the staff was so accommodating and happily fit us in for 4 tastings while explaining how everything worked. The wine was fantastic and absolutely perfect for a hot day. We'll definitely be returning!

As long as you know that this is not a typical winery tasting you'll be fine. We were just very surprised.

I heard that Gallo Winery had sold various yard materials to the public and thought I would get…read moresome for my over-seeding. I tried to find information on the internet where and how to buy the materials. I found very little information and the information I found was here on Yelp. But, it was not the information I was looking for. Still at a loss on where to go or speak to.. I just drove out that way with my truck hoping to get lucky! I came across a big open lot that appeared to intercept the harvest trucks with a little building that had a sign in front (south side of Olive Ave just East of Clovis Ave). The sign was not very informative either by the way!!! So, I walked up to the building and there was a lady there behind a glass and asked if I needed help. I explained why I was there and she pointed out the different materials they had for sale. I explained I needed compost for over-seeding and she recommended the 50/50 mix of soil and compost. I bought a half of yard of 50/50 mix of soil and compost for only 15 dollars. Still not knowing where to go to get the material, I had to ask her where to go for the material because there was no signs. She pointed that I had to travel farther east on Olive Ave and take the second left. She stated a man would be there to help and load me. As I followed her instructions, there was no man to be seen. I drove pretty far to the back of the lot looking for this said, "man!" Eventually I just drove to the farthest part of this lot where I saw piles of materials and workers near by on equipment. Eventually someone waved me over and viewed my receipt. He then pointed me to the area he wanted me and he came over with a front loader. The pile of 50/50 mix he had was very small. But, it was enough for my load. As he scraped it up and loaded it into my truck, I saw small pebbles in the material. I think the pebbles came from him scraping the material from the ground. When I got home, I saw a few pieces of debris. It looked like a piece of a tie that's used for bread bags and few little pieces of torn paper. The material that was loaded in my truck didn't compare to the sample bags the girl had at the window when I purchased the mix. The half yard of 50/50 mix of compost and soil equaled to about 4 full wheelbarrows worth. Wished it would had been a bit more.. but worth the money. It would had cost me way more from a box store than it did getting the material at Gallo Winery. The little pebbles that was in the material migrated to the bottom of my wheelbarrow and was easily separated. As for the other debris, I just simply picked it out by hand and threw it away. I suggest to bring a tarp and a few pieces of heavy lumber to put over the top of the lighter weight material so it does not cause a hazard to other drivers when driving to your project location.

I immediately wrote to Gallo Hdqts. and Consumer Services Representative, Macenzie M. cordially responded, she dismissed the disgusting experience as just a "cork". Though I strongly disagreed. A cork would not shrivel up like this. And it's obvious, it was a mushroom. But she believed a sorry, and send $5 to compensate me. I requested the lab results, but that request was ignored. My warning to all, where there is one mushroom, there are more. Which means their processing is questionable. Be sure to look in your glass before taking a drink. Trust me, it was a horrible experience taking a drink and having this land in my mouth.
