    What a great experience we had at this winery! Such a cute homey place with great spots for…read morewatching the sunset while you enjoy the wine tasting. The tasting is $15 for 4 wines made by them. The owner Ilda Vaja is so passionate about it she calls it a very expensive hobby. And I can't imagine what it takes to plant, care for, produce and bottle the wine every year. She was the sole managing person here this particular Friday and man was it such a fun conversation we had. We learned a lot about Tehachapi and how she started it and it is just heart warming to hear the story. She's also the first one to plant and produce a very good Malbec. The tasting consisted of a rosé, Cabernet, Merlot and Malbec. She served this with cheese, crackers and local chocolates! The ranch also has AirBNB rooms so be sure to check out her website for availability. Women owned, local and full of love. You can taste that in the product. During this weekend trip, I also visited 2 other wineries but I can tell you hands down, this was an absolutely memorable stop. I highly recommend stopping by here if you're passing by. I promise you the wine is great, the views and the person behind this winery are phenomenal. We ended up taking home 5 wines. During the week make an appointment. But weekends you can just stop by.

    This is excellent winery; The host is extremely knowledgeable about wine; she make you feel like…read morefamily. Outstanding wine tasting place!!!!! Thank you Ilda for having us in your winery.

    I've been to this place a few times (with dogs and without) and have always found their wine and…read moreservice to be mediocre with strong notes of pretentiousness depending on who is pouring (some of their staff have been great). But they are one of very few wineries in our area, they have beautiful grounds, and a few of their events (where they also offer beer) have had us return for a visit; so we have always made it a point to try and stop here and introduce our friends to local offerings while supporting local business. One thing to know: their dog policy is not very transparent. When you arrive, there is a sign by the tasting room door letting you know dogs are welcome but must remain on the patio, as is the case with most dog friendly wineries. But apparently there is also a waiver of liability you have to sign as well. I get it, people have to protect their livelihoods and assets. But this was a new development for us as we had been there before and not signed any waivers. Still, no big deal. We arrived yesterday and intended to sit outside. I have two dogs in training (one puppy) and we were looking for a place to seat our group. When I have dogs in training, they don't go out to local establishments until they are at a point where they just need a little fine-tuning with obedience. We always try to seat ourselves strategically to allow as much of a buffer between our dogs and stimuli in the environment. They are not aggressive by any means but thats how I do it as a courtesy for others. Just because a winery is dog friendly, doesn't mean all of its customers are. Yesterday, we had a pretty large group and we were the first to arrive. We had intended to sit in the garden area but all of the tables and chairs were dirty and covered in spider webs. The tasting room itself was dark and empty so we finally found the action in the courtyard area where there were only 2 other customers seated (it was right at the opening of business, to be fair). As we sighted a suitable table, a lady approached us with a cup of water. My puppy, assuming she had a treat for him, stood himself up (not to be confused with an aggressive jump) to sniff out what treasure she might be bringing forth. He was at the end of his lead and he quickly settled back down when corrected but I acknowledge I didn't catch him in time so she had to pause in her approach. She had a pretty solid meltdown about it and started yammering on about how "unacceptable!" his behavior was and how she needed us to sign a form for her attorney. I would have signed a form no problem. And I 100% own the fact that my dog should have been able to completely ignore her. But I don't appreciate being approached in that tone. Nothing about him is aggressive and he settles pretty quickly once we are seated. I ultimately surmised that while this place will ACCOMMODATE dogs, they are not dog friendly; which I 100% respect. I don't expect everyone to appreciate dogs as much as we do and his behavior has never triggered such a response anywhere else he has been. I just chalked it up to the fact that some people are truly not comfortable around mid size dogs and it isn't worth the stress to drop our coin at an establishment where no one felt comfortable. If this lady was so hung up on liability, I am not trying to put MYSELF in a position to get sued for emotional distress by this lady. As we walked away she CONTINUED to take her argument to a coworker who appeared equally confused about the waiver, and her response to the situation. In short: their wines are worth trying once and worth sipping if you aren't too snobby. Their grounds, like most wineries, are beautiful. Service leaves a bit to be desired in the organiztion and approachability department. Leave your dog at home for the best experience. And if you do have to take your dogs, be mindful of Cruella Deville. While his behavior is 100% my responsibility, it was a ridiculous spectacle. In the end, we moved on to Triassic and Tehachapi Wine and Cattle Co where we, and the dogs, had a full day of stellar experiences. And everyone lived happily ever after.
