    Lawn area

    Nice property with plenty of tables and umbrellas to enjoy a beverage. We had a Pilsner & a Vanilla Stout. Both pretty tasty. No lager's or other light beers options on the rotating menu on the day we visited. Staff seemed a little short staffed on a busy Sunday. Food shuts down at 4pm and we just missed it. Corn Hole area in the lawn, plenty of parking.

    Great snacks for food but the cider and beer tasting was amazing for a great price! Service was fast and friendly! Ambiance was great for a get together sit down!

    I love coming to Jack Russell Farm Brewery. I even spent one of my birthdays here with friends and family. I am a fan of Jack Russells and I am a fan of beer so I really do love this spot. It is a must stop especially if I am exploring other businesses in the Apple Hill area. I love that I can get a flight and choose what I want. From stouts, ciders, sours to IPAs, this place has a lot to offer. I do like when a food vendor is there. When were were last there, no one was there and they were busy even when they opened. This is just a popular spot! I did see families bring games and playing outside at the table area and I do recommend you do this because it is fun! I cannot wait to go back especially when I am in the area.

    Always love stopping here when making stops at various apple hill spots. They have a wide selection of craft beers, ports, ipas, wines ciders and even mead! I went with a flight of blackberry, raspberry, boysenberry, apple, peach, and mead for a nice tasting. All the ciders were light and delicious and didn't taste overly sweet. I recently heard they also have seltzers which I definitely need to try next time. I always love that they have different food trucks here as well. Overall I can't recommend this spot enough

    Jack Russel is always our first stop on our annual Apple Hill trip. The cider and beer are always refreshing and they offer great choices. The setting is beautiful and they always have some type of food whether it's on site vendors or food trucks. We will always come back.

    We stopped through here on our travels around Apple Hill. We ordered a flight of 6 that included 4 beers and 2 ciders. The staff were nice and knowledgeable. Inside there were tables and some items for purchase including apparel and mix&match four packs of beer, big patio outside with tables and umbrellas, plus tables on the lawn too. There were a couple food trucks but only 1 was open and it looked like they normally have a kitchen as well but it was closed the day we went (it may just be open on the weekends). Narrow lot for parking but we found a space. Nice restroom area. It was a nice day and sitting outside was just perfect.

    Flights!

    This was a great find! Atmosphere was really cool, the beer and wine selections was on point, relaxing outdoor seating and friendly staff! Can't wait to go back.

    CUTE place overlooking the most beautiful pine trees, tucked away with fun seasonal beers, seltzers, and alcoholic slushees. They had a Mexican food truck when I went for delicious bites. I'd love to come back & soak up all of their beautiful flowers and outdoor seating!

    Stop by for happy hour

    This is one of my favorite breweries in the area. They have a lot of options to try. We were greeted right away and I ordered a flight because they have so many choices. There is a large outside area with tables to enjoy. We brought our dog and he loves to walk around and smell the flowers. Love their Blueberry beer and they also offer a good pumpkin during the fall.

    My husband and I went to check out this brewery on Memorial Day. Big area for picnic tables. They offer beer and hard cider. I ended up having the blueberry cider and that was delicious. My husband had red ale. Nice staff will be back again.

    Decent brewery with a nice outside seating area. They have cider and beer and they also have some food for sale so this is a good place to get a meal if you're visiting Apple hill. I tried a cider and a flight of beer.

    Cider flight - blackberry, apple, blueberry, peach, and raspberry ciders and a wildflower mead pour

    Such a fun place with a huge selection of beers on tap, wines and ciders, as well as a family-friendly, warm and welcoming space for kicking back and hanging out. We loved stopping here at a recent trip to Apple Hill for a little break and were pleasantly surprised at how large the premises were. There's plentiful indoor and outdoor seating, picnic benches and umbrellas, and even a field for picnics or kids to play soccer while adults sip and talk. We opted to go to the "Cave" which offers wine and ciders and meads, and were helped by a friendly employee. We got a flight of 6 ciders/meads at $3 a pour, which was a great price and fun variety! In order, our favorites were the blueberry cider, then apple cider, raspberry cider, peach cider, blackberry cider, and wildflower mead. It was so fun to try and we enjoyed relaxing at Jack Russell.

    A fun spot. Large open seating. Hard Cider, beer, and eats. Good place to bring the kids. They can run around while the parents have some adult time. Friendly service. Sometimes there is entertainment.

    Crystal Basin: Where the Wine is Bold and the Vibes are Chill…read more Tucked away in the Sierra Foothills like a hidden gem with a cork in it, Crystal Basin Cellars is my go-to wine tasting room when I want great wine without the snobbery. My husband and I have been members of the wine club for years and do kazoo caroling with the kids with them every year! This place is and amazing low-key--no pretense, pours and plenty of personality. The owner? Hilarious. Think part-winemaker, part-stand-up-comedian. The staff? Super friendly and genuinely happy to talk wine, life, or the weather in Camino. You'll feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. Now let's talk wine--because wow. Mostly reds (and they're all fantastic), but they've got a few whites that hold their own. Some standouts: Pommie: A pomegranate champagne that's basically a party in a bottle. Bubbly, fruity, and dangerously easy to love. I love them all! Just a few favorites: Dolce Bottino: A red with a name that cheekily translates to "sweet booty" . It's rich, smooth, and just a little bit flirty--like the wine version of a wink. Château Mau Faux: ( read that slow and twice ) The ultimate "any night" red. Whether you're Netflixing, grilling, or just unwinding, this one's your new best friend. Crystal Basin isn't just a tasting room--it's a vibe. Come for the wine, stay for the laughs, and leave with a bottle (or three... or a case)

To start, we called on the phone first to make a reservation for our anniversary, we announced we had a Groupon to use, and we were never informed at the time of booking that it could not be used during their pizza and music nights. We arrive, lady setting us for our table (We also mention Groupon, another opportunity for them to alarm us, still nothing.) We get to our table, explain the Groupon to the server in which she declined the Groupon. We asked for a little more time to decide what we would order instead, server NEVER comes back. Takes us 20 mins to flag down another server who also never comes back after our wine is dropped off. Once our original server comes back around about an hour later after our glasses are empty, she is stumbling on her words (clearly has been drinking) and makes an offer for the Groupon that didn't even make sense lol. I want soooo bad to be able to go back again but damn I'm disappointed. As a server myself this is unacceptable. Even for our anniversary we weren't expecting anything special just honest and attentive service. The experience left such a bad taste in our mouth. She mentioned being short staffed but the vibe at a winery to begin with is slow paced and never an excuse to just outright avoid your tables entirely. I did not see any pep in this persons step, so to me it did not appear busy. Sorry, but have to knock down the score just for that

The outside seating were picnic tables under beautiful trees providing enough shade and coolness to be comfortable for the experience. At one point, I was in awe of two hawks flying over that were making noise adding even more beauty to the experience. My partner and I opted to taste through their whole flight as they had 4 different flight options and all of them sounded so lovely. Our host brought out the flights in three and are poured in advance versus pouring each individual one which gives a great opportunity to pace yourself through each tasting and discuss as needed with anyone else that is tasting with you. We were lucky enough to meet the co-owner and winemaker, Paul, who was super sweet and engaging. I got to ask a few questions related to harvest and he was happy to talk about it and also share some history with their previous beautiful dogs that were part of their family before their passing. We LOVED their Grenache and Cab Sauv and took home three bottles of these. We look forward to coming back and tasting their delicious wine again and enjoying the great hospitality and experience!

We ordered at the bar inside and then the wines were brought out to us on the patio. It took longer than expected to get our flights, and then we were a bit disappointed that the sommelier didn't spend much time telling us about the wines. She brought them out and told us what each wine on the flight was, then left and we never saw her again. We've had several amazing tasting experiences in wine country where the sommelier tells you many more details about the wines including where on the property the grapes are grown, how it is made, and what different notes we will taste in each wine. It was a pretty basic explanation and we didn't feel that it was very personable despite it being a slow weekday. We ordered two tastings but all the wines were brought out in small carafes, we couldn't tell if each one held enough wine for one of us or both of our tastings combined. This wasn't ever explained either, so we assumed it was for both of us to share. We still enjoyed having our wines on this beautiful property, and we were able to have our baby with us which was nice. We weren't very impressed with the wines themselves and did not have any favorites that we needed to purchase bottles of. It is $10 for a glass or a tasting which was quite the deal. The prices and atmosphere were great, but the wine and overall experience was average.
