Savor the Simplicity…read more In a town in which everything must be bigger, snobbier, and shinier, Stinson Vineyards takes us back to the basics. Why do we go to Vineyards? We go for the wine and the views. Stinson offers both of these and so much more. With service and owners who are attentive, personable, and very, very funny, Stinson is the perfect place to relax on a Sunday afternoon. To my knowledge, they are the only Winery on the Monticello Wine Trail to have a kid's play area-- courtesy of Wild Rock. With great wine and a charming, picturesque view of the mountains, this small, yet popular winery is well worth a visit.

What an amazing place to visit. More importantly this place is a hidden gem that doesn't try to be…read moreloud about it. The key is both the environment that is just chill combined with the amazing wines. I'm a big fan of low-key (maybe it's my age) but I'm all about being able to have high quality and relaxed. We found this place on a complete whim (saw a vineyard and decided to just turn in and see what's up) and are happy we did. We're so happy about the visit that we're coming back up soon and intend to make this a staple of the visit. Hands-down, if you're a wine person, you must visit. Food Taste: n/a - good snacks though Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Small place but the decor is very simple, rustic, and meets the feel of what we were looking for in a vineyard.

First off, I wish I could remember the lady's name that helped us because she was awesome! She was informative, polite, funny, and took care of us right away. The three of us did the same flight, but only two really got my attention. Definitely a cool ambience and place to hang out though. I loved the antiques and decor. We wanted to go back before our trip ended but never got the chance to. But we'll definitely be visiting again when we're back in the area!

We bought three bottles total. The lady helping us with the tastings was super awesome and friendly. There was one guy singing country music solo who I really liked. He did a great job (wish I remembered his name!). The view was pretty good too, and we ended up sitting there for probably an hour or two, drank a whole bottle, and took two more to go. Overall everything was good and we had a fantastic afternoon! The only weird part was when another lady came up behind the one helping us and said "no more tasting" right in the middle of it. We'd only tasted three wines (sharing the samples), and we ended up buying bottles of those -- but my wife wanted to try something bold/rich red too. The interruption stopped us short, so she wasn't happy about it and it kind of threw Lili off. Honestly though, it didn't ruin our day at all, the bottle a we bought were good. Still highly recommend - great spot, great wines, and we'll definitely go back when we're in the area as my wife loves winerys!

They…read morereally lean into the polo and equestrian vibe--the gift shop is great, and the tasting room is filled with leather couches and plenty of rustic charm. I tried the Petit Verdot, which was an easy-drinking blend. While it was perfectly pleasant, it didn't quite blow me away compared to some of the other pours on this tour. However, what did blow me away were the views from the back patio. You get a stunning, pastoral mountain backdrop with horses in the paddock and cows on the hillside. It's close enough to enjoy the scenery, but far enough away that you don't get any of the "farm smells." To reset, I cleansed my palate with some wonderful Plaza De Espana fried marcona almonds and a Saratoga spring water--a high-quality snack pairing that matched the upscale feel of the property. If you're looking for a world-class view and a comfortable, high-end environment to relax in, this is the spot. Friendly and helpful service!
