I really enjoyed the relaxed but charming vibe of this place. A lot of their seating is outdoors so be mindful of the weather . We did a tasting and all the wines were good, directly into the vineyards. We purchased a couple of bottles to waive the tasting fee. The views outside are so good. I love that you can bring your own food and snacks. Emphasis on the relaxed and chill atmosphere. The staff were also great! I would definitely come back !
Chris was gracious enough to stay a little later and continue visiting, as well as help us with our bottle purchases and take a photo of our group! We were treated to an incredible tasting with Arthur. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and definitely has a passion for this industry. Looking forward to future visits when they have live music and would recommend this beautiful winery to others who haven't been yet! Every wine we tried was fantastic- says something when each person took home 6 bottles!
Matchbook is always relaxing place to enjoy some wine and food. You can bring your own food but check their calendar to see if there is going to be a food truck because they often have them. Their tasting menu has 4 options or you can order a bottle. The view looking over the vineyards is beautiful and the staff are very attentive and know many of the regulars. Their wine club has great options and there are pickup parties.
What a great find! Tried their wine for the first time at the Yolo Wine event held in Capay and we were immediately drawn to them! So visiting the actual winery was a must! They did not disappoint! Although there was no tasting due to an event, our hostess was kind enough to let us sample the wines they had available. Gosh so difficult to choose! They were all amazing!So we ended having a glass of each red! The petite Sirah and the cab were my favs. The petite Sirah had a touch of that peppery that gave it a bit of a twist. The cab so, mmm...smooth! We also liked the Pillars of Hercules 2022 blend, which includes a blend of Tempranillo which gave it a tad bit of the heaviness. Tempranillo itself was good too and I'm typically not a fan. All were very delicious! The grounds itself were very beautiful. Although seating is all outdoors, they provide enough shade to protect you from the sun and heat. The stage for the band was awesome. It was located amongst the vineyard providing such a unique atmosphere! We'll definitely be back to do a testing!
Fantastic Vineyard. Helpful and welcoming staff. Nice, quiet, green and clean, highly recommended. Plenty of outside seating, perfect for bringing your own lunch. Came with a group to tour the grounds and do a few tastings. The group did buy a few bottles of the whites and some of their olive oil. I will say, the drive is interesting, rolling golden hills, wildlife aplenty. For the ambience alone, it is worth the visit.
We have been wine club members since Covid and this place is awesome! The views are gorgeous! The wine is priced so well, you can bring your own food, the customer service is amazing and they have fun events. The wine club events have music, food and awesome wines! Definitely try this winery!
Heaven in Esparto 25 mins from Sacramento one of my favorite wineries the venue is incredible and huge the vineyards are magical and the wine delicious really enjoyed myself when I come here it feels like I'm in an Italian vineyard. They have plenty of space to sit outside come early and an enjoy the day pack a picnic basket and drink the best wines. Members get a great price and the service is very good. Hopefully you will enjoy as Much as I do. I Recommend this place
Took a trip here yesterday. Weather was kinda chilly but it made for a great day. This is a very nice winey down a long quiet road. When you drive here you think you are going to the wrong place because there is nothing really out on the road you take but the scenery at the winery is beautiful. Not sure if you can bring food but they do have a charcuterie board and I believe the price is $20. If you do a tasting, they do waive the fee if you buy a bottle of wine. They have white and red wine all the wine I tried was really good. Service was nice They told us about the wine and if we had any other questions. I would definitely go and take a look at this place. In my opinion, it's a beautiful winery and they do have lots of seating outside. Wish they had more seating indoors but they do have blankets to keep you nice and warm.
Stunning open sweeping views of vineyards. What a beautiful estate. Definitely make a reservation to visit Matchbook Wine Company. This was the busiest and last stop on our wine tour of Yolo county. Looked like a breathtaking Napa winery. Our server Maddy was bright, bubbly and smiled the entire evening as she bounced from table to table. Our flight included samples of four wines, but she swapped out one for a sweeter dessert wine that we wanted to try. She also brought a glass bottle filled with water which was important as the heat index passed 100 F during the June heat wave. Food trucks are occasionally on property. You can also bring a picnic basket to enjoy while you swirl, sip and savor each glass as you are seated on a comfy patio lounge chair overlooking the lush rolling hills. Take time to explore the property as well. The wine themed oversized sculptures and fountains enhance the charm. The Matchbook logo reflects the love of fire the founding brothers had as kids. The umbrella fountain is so unique and reminds me of a Peter Max's Umbrella Man. The giant corkscrew with the signature flame overlooking the vineyards is so impressive. Thanks to Maddy (don't forget to tip your server) and Matchbook Wine Company for a great way to end a nice summer day in Yolo County and to Sacramento CM Alex P. for allowing a couple of Texans to explore Yolo County with this fun YOLO Wine Passport.
Beautiful estate! We came on a Father's Day Sunday. We arrived at the winery just as it opened. We checked in with a staff member to get our pours going and we took a seat outside under their covered patio. This is a beautiful estate with a vast area of acreage under vineyard cultivation. They grow and manufacture the wines in the same property. Who would've known that this hidden gem is less than an hour from home in Roseville (43 miles), much closer drive to us than to Napa. The estate is tucked away in the town of Zamora. Where?? A little town in rural Yolo County 30 mins from Sacramento. We enjoyed our wine tasting experience on their outdoor patio with a gorgeous vineyard view. The vineyards can be seen in gently rolling Dunnigan Hills and makes for a panoramic setting. We had a choice of four wines to sample and I found the 2019 Mossback Russian River Pinot Noir the best from the four. Surprisingly, the Tinto Rey Rosé was a bit strong for my taste buds. The staff members were great but we loved Madi. She was super friendly and knowledgeable about the wines and made our wine tasting experience enjoyable. We told her we'll be back...

In my book, Matchbook is just alright, especially compared to Grindstone and a plethora of wineries within driving distance. There's always one bad apple who can ruin the wine tasting experience. I just want the owners to know they have one hostess NOT with the mostess. However, the other staff and patrons were extremely welcoming and pleasant. I want to point out the winery itself is stunning, the grounds are manicured, and I was mentioning to hubby how I wanted to see a water fountain, then comes the entrance - voila! As we arrived inside, a lady greeted us, I mentioned the passport to Yolo wine country, she wanted to see some barcode, which caused a slight confusion. Another lady whispered in her ear, probably clarifying the Yelp passport deal (no barcode/pass required). The hostess not with the mostess started pouring the rosé and mentioned we can sit anywhere outside besides the red umbrellas. We chose a nice spot, and honestly, every seat around here is a good seat. She continued pouring the rest of the wines listed, which were mediocre, and never mentioned a backstory to any of the wines or how the company came to fruition. You have Yelpers in the house, this is what we do...take copious notes. Well mental note, this particular employee is not personable or wants to get rid of us right after the flights. Another employee walked by and saw me struggling to take a selfie, and offered to take it for us (the struggle is real). Talk about being attentive to your guests, wish we had her pouring the vino. Meanwhile, I see our hostess not with the mostess chat it up with other patrons right next to us; she made it real obvious. One of the friendly patrons came up to me while I was admiring one of the unique sculptures and made a nice compliment about them, which I concurred. For some reason, at that moment, it made me feel welcomed, moreso than our hostess. Hubby had no clue I felt uneasy 'til I asked him to go buy a bottle, as I didn't want to see her RBF ever. And rule of thumb, we never leave empty handed after a complimentary tasting. She never offered a price list 'til he asked for one. 'Til next time or possibly never, cheers & see you on Yelp (SYOY)!
This was my favorite winery from those on Yolo Passport. Everything from decor to views impressed me. Let's begin with the views. The outdoor area overlooks the vineyards, and since it's located on a hill, the views are truly incredible. Landscaping is top notch with two fountains flowing on either sides of the stage. Yes, there is a stage for local events. They also have a food truck on certain days. Comfortable lounge chairs and couches invited you to sit there never wanting to leave. Now onto wines. They produce several different labels, each having its distinct quality. I found every wine on the tasting menu amazing. From initial sip I fell in love with 2019 Mossback Russian River Pinot Noir, rich and flavorful, but also mature and low sugar. One bottle for me! Another wine I loved was 2016 Tinto Rey Tempranillo, light and moderately dry. This is wine I can drink every day. Service was incredible. The associate was attentive and friendly, but allowing space and time to enjoy both the views and the wines. I would definitely want to come back to this one!
Such a lovely winery! My husband and I were looking for a relaxing Sunday morning last weekend and we stumbled upon Matchbook. We started with their wine tasting, which consisted of 1 white, 1 rose and 2 reds. I really enjoyed the 2018 Arsonists Dunnigan Hills Chardonnay and we decided to purchase a bottle and enjoy the morning. The vineyard is gorgeous. From the parking lot, it's hard to tell the size of the space and the view of the vineyard. It's very modern but also industrial with the pebbled pavement and gray hues. Stepping inside, the space is wide open and their decor is eye catching. The wine bar was to the right and because we were to first to enter right when they opened they were ready to help, great service! The back patio has plenty of space for many parties and it's all shaded. We were in for a hot day but it was really nice and cool, granted it was 11am. LOL, the view is also gorgeous. They have a huge loan and a stage that I believe they host live music on. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any food or snacks to offer, but it looks like others brought their own. Wish I knew that, but maybe for our next visit. Which, I plan to come back because I enjoyed the wine and view so much!

Once you exit I-5 - Beautiful drive through rolling hills and open fields of tall grasses waved by gentle winds. You soon arrive the entrance to Matchbox Winery situated on an overlook plateau with views of the vines that grow the various grapes awaiting the perfect time to harvest. Easy access to the spacious tasting room with large glassed walls for views of the sweeping hills covered with vines. Outdoor patio areas surround the building with additional covered outdoor space for large gatherings and event hosting. Attentive staff providing table side wine tasting servings while explaining the various offerings being served. A truly great wine tasting experience at every level. Eagerly awaiting a return to the Matchbox Winery for a repeat of a very pleasant and enjoyable wine tasting experience. read more

Have you ever heard of a town called Zamora? Yeah... me neither! I came across this winery by chance on a trip that fell through, and was very happy with the stop. While I did not catch her name, staff was friendly and the grounds were very pretty. I'd love to hang out on an evening they have a band on their vineyard stage and watch the sun set. The tastings include 4 wines for $10 and is well worth it. I ended up going home with 4 different bottles of wine and wouldn't hesitate to make the 2hr drive back out to share the experience with friends. I think the rose and Tempranillo were my top 2 favorites, but I also went home with a bottle of Verdejo and Chardonnay. read more

Though this place is a little out of the way, I'd say it's well worth the drive. The staff is friendly, the wine is interesting, and the views are everything. We came around 7:30, an hour before closing, for a tasting. We were given our first glasses with rose and were able to sear ourselves anywhere. The tasting was four wines- a rose, a white, and two reds. I enjoyed the Pinot noir the most! My boyfriend hit a wall after a bit with his wine, and they don't sell any food. Maddy and Stephanie so graciously brought snacks and water and it was so helpful. Customer service is definitely an 11/10 here! Our view while we did the tasting was breathtaking, especially when the sun started to set. The vibes are absolutely right here and I would love to come back! (But they should definitely sell food/ snacks lol) We walked away with two wine glasses and a pack of super cute stickers! read more

We loved coming here. It was a 3-day weekend but where was everybody. It was busy but not crowded. The music was great, the food truck was great, the rather was perfect, and, of course, the wine was excellent. We tried two different wines. I'm not a huge white wine person but really liked the New Zealand Chasing Venus Sauvignon Blanc. It was crisp and refreshing. We also had the Malbec which was also very good. End to spending a wonderful day in the area. read more

Beautiful Winery Located in Yolo County https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/matchbook-wine-company-zamora?select=aHpPXDSdLsAwNkqq9XZXgQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w SITREP Guess what! If you need that "fix" to go wine-tasting, but time and travel-expense may be a bit constraining, have no fear! *INDULGE* your love the vine and check out Matchbook Wine Company ("Matchbook"), just a stone's throw away outside of Woodland. THE SETUP Matchbook has immaculate, spacious facility grounds, and world-class wine-tasting bar(s): https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/matchbook-wine-company-zamora?select=1uxi35jbZ0zNpuPQEOPsLg&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w There is also an amazing outside venue space for not only wine-tasting, but also to host full-on music events, AND....what about that VIEW! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/matchbook-wine-company-zamora?select=jy2Thd9MvtUW4pABsPzR2A&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE TOUR I always love a wine tour - as well as the wine-tasting - because what better way to "get inside" the heads of vintners and owners than hear about what they find special about the land they are on, the kinds of wine varietals they are growing, what they expect for the final product, and all the different items they used to achieve that result, such as beautiful oak barrels. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/matchbook-wine-company-zamora?select=6RK5yF2gNzQMTr6Kh6axZA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE WINES Of the wines we tasted, I loved the ones that are part of "The Arsonist" branding. And though ironically I prefer white wines over red wines, I actually enjoyed the "2016 Arsonist Red Blend" more so than the "2017 Arsonist Chardonnay." I know. I'm just as confused as you are. But the Red Blend - which includes Petit Verdot and Malbec - was ingeniously conceived for those of us who enjoy combined notes of Raspberry, Black Cherry and Chocolate. So. How could that possibly go wrong for me? (Add whipped cream? Maybe). :D THE VERY LARGE WINE ART Did someone leave a corkscrew lying around, you ask? https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/matchbook-wine-company-zamora?select=csWKdo6chgJAskBMa7PBZw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE LOWDOWN With exceptional wine varietals, you MAY not always need to endure the headache of heading over to Napa and Sonoma Valleys (just consider it). ;) read more

Amazing! My partner surprised me by taking me here on Valentine's day. He packed a little picnic for us and we sat outside in the sun overlooking the vineyard. We did a "blind tasting" where for $10, they brought us different wines and we had to guess what is was without looking at the label. Lots of fun. I don't like red wine, but I loved the rose and white wines, especially the Sauvignon blanc. The tasting is $10 per person, but it's waived if you buy a bottle of wine (~$15-$19) which is totally worth it. The venue was beautiful and the staff was very nice- the woman working there took her time to explain the wines to us and take cute photos of us! We will definitely be back, especially in the summer when the weather is nice ar and their hours are longer. read more

I have to admit that this place was a gem out of the fields of nowhere. I mean farm lands and country roads. We got here to do our continuous quest on Yolo counties' wineries. Me and my wife greeted abs also was our server to this wonderful young bright woman ... Marie. She briefly told us about this winery, it's history . Where and how this place come about. I tell you Yolo county have some hidden gems out here. We went through their list of tasting I was excited to see on the list "Pinot noir" happen to be my favorite. They have the mossback from RRV and it was and is at least one of smooth tasting wine for Pinot noir I tasted so I bought me a bottle for me and my wife. The view of vineyard was breathtaking, it also looks like they have entertainments on some given days. I recommend for you winers to come and visit this awesome place . Relax and just enjoy a Sunday afternoon. read more
My hubby and I finally made it here. They were featured on the Sacramento local news and wanted to give it a try. Well, what a pleasant surprise, we love their wines and decided to be club members. We love it so much I brought my girlfriends here. We brought our own cheeses to pair with their wines...what a cheap lunch. Wine tasting was free for members including their guests (total of 4). I definitely recommend this winery! read more

Hi Ameshia! Thank you so much for stopping by - I'm so sorry you…
Amazing wine in an awesome venue located near Zamora just 30 min north of Sacramento. Although a slight drive from Sac, the venue is beautiful, and has a large inside table, as well as a gorgeous outside patio over looking an amazing vineyard vista. You can do tastings and can bring food, if they are not having a food truck for that day. Tasting fee is waived if you purchase a bottle, which is an awesome deal. My favorite was the Tempranillo, although all of their offerings were great as well. Amazing service and staff. Don't hesitate to try out this venue if you are in the area. read more

This winery was an adventure to get to, requiring a journey along many country backroads. However the payoff is worth it, given how gorgeous the property is. Everything is beautifully furnished, overlooking a grand array of rolling hills and grape vines. I will admit that during the actual tasting I wasn't feeling well. The wines provided were solid, but many details are fuzzy or lost due to how I felt at the time. With that said, the customer service was amazing. Maddie was our main hostess, and when it was obvious I didn't feel good, she was able to procure water and snacks, along with checking in often to make sure I was feeling better. I look forward to coming back in the future! read more

I've been here a few times now and the location of Matchbook is great. It's off the beaten path, but the views are amazing. Their tasting room is pretty big and they have plenty of seating outside if you get there before the crowd comes which I noticed is usually around 12pm - they open at 11am. I came in today with my best friend who is a member and her family to do some wine tasting. Cousins Maine Lobster has their food trucks there for their 4th Anniversary and the food was great! I'm giving Matchbook 3 stars because I'm not a huge fan of their wines unfortunately, but their Rose and Chardonnay (Chasing Venus) were the ones I liked from today's tasting which is surprising because I'm usually a Red fan. Great views though! Staff is pretty friendly too especially the older gentleman who was walking around doing the wine tastings. read more
So every time we head north and see this "Zamora" exit Rich and I look at each other and make a plan to find out what's there? Today we found out... Nothing but a gas station with a deli and pizza joint.... BUT there was an amazing winery! It's literally in the middle of nowhere and beautiful. The wine steward, Rich...( won't forget him), was thee greatest! He waved my tasting. They do that when you buy 1 bottle. I bought 8. The grounds are gorgeous. We were treated like family and felt so relaxed we could have stayed all day. IDT if I'd go in the heat of summer, but today was perfect. read more
Out the fields, sort of out in the middle of nowhere is this little gem of a winery. Bring your food or snacks or buy from the food truck of the night and enjoy the ambiance of people having fun! The view of the setting sun is picturesque and the misters keep you cool! The Sauvignon Blanc was light and refreshing and the Mossbach Chalk Hill Cabernet was wonderfully delicious, even with the slightly strange name. A new wine named "Pillars of Hercules", a red blend was introduced. It took a while to open, but when it did it was a pleasure to drink. It's always a pleasure to drink good wine with good friends and put in this environment in the middle of the wine fields and you have a wonderful venue! read more
What a gem! Out in the farm land of Yolo County is a family own and run winery! The grounds are awesome and the tasting room had a great view of the vineyard. Wines were quite good! They had quite a few varietals. The Arsonist red blend was wonderful. I would have liked a bit more smokiness in the petite syrah but it was still quite good. The staff was knowledgeable and fun. Don't miss this! read more

A total best kept secret. The staff is friendly, the views are breathtaking, and above all, the wine is delicious. A great, and relaxing experience without breaking the bank. There are days where there is live music and food trucks. The events can be found on their website. Your tasting fee (about $15.00) will be waived with the purchase of a bottle and on days where there is not an event you can bring your own snacks/food. read more
