We've been to quite a few…read moreafternoon tea venues now and I would say this place probably ranks somewhere close to the bottom in terms of food/tea, but the ambience somewhat makes up for it. Rating Breakdown: 1/2 Stars for Taste -- The tea probably came off the local supermarket shelf, which is fine, but let's just say that we are pretty serious about our tea. My friend literally pulled a sachet of tea out of her bag and we were tempted to ask them to use that instead. The scones were dense but tasty. We were surprised that they were not served with clotted cream. The savory sandwiches were just OK -- pickled cucumbers, smoked salmon, and chicken salad on slightly stale baguettes. There was a slice of red velvet cake, a dry macaron, and a square of a mango mousse reminiscent of those you get at an Asian buffet. 0.5/1 Stars for Value -- We pre-booked online for a regular tea set on a Sunday, it was $39 before tax and tip. If we were rating by sheer picture perfect presentation, sure, your money is well spent. But I would eat before you come and maybe grab some McDs after. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- Our server was super nice and friendly. It wasn't busy when we went and he let me chill at the table while I waited for my friends to arrive. They also didn't pressure us to leave, coming back multiple times to offer tea refills. My friends stayed and chatted for almost 4 hours. No bonus star because, even though the ostriches are cool, would not come back again for the afternoon tea.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding an experience I had at your winery today. I…read morehave been a loyal member since 2017, and today I brought my in-laws to visit after shopping. We reserved an indoor spot, which was indicated to have no time limit. We were having a wonderful time relaxing, enjoying a wine bundle special we purchased, and sharing a charcuterie board. However, our experience was ruined when a host approached our table and asked if we were close to leaving because there was a long waitlist. Several other tables had arrived before us, yet none of them were approached. This treatment felt unfair and left a very bad taste in my mouth. After many years of enjoying my membership, this experience has made me seriously consider canceling it. Please be better.

We are having a chill time but there is a time limit even tho it's not full. Weird concept. Totally understand if it's full and need to be mindful of timing, but it's NOT full.

I cannot say enough about Mission Peak Winery. Up until last year I was running a local nonprofit…read moreand looking for wine to serve at our fundraiseing event in Fremont. I reached out to Brittni and she was more than happy to help us out, by providing wine at a great cost, as well as a beautiful gift basket for our raffle. It was all a huge hit. Since then I have attended events at the winery and have been lucky enough to pour alongside her at some local festivals. The passion that Brittni and her family have for the community, their wine, the winery, as well as the events they host there, is wonderful to see. The location itself is absolutely stunning, located in the Mission Peak area above Fremont, the scenery is spectacular and the wine is delicious. It is a great location to host a special event, corporate party or a wedding. I highly recommend checking them out, becoming a member and enjoying all of the perks that come with it. Check out their website but I believe you can also order online. When you go, tell Brittni I said hello. A winery in Fremont, who knew?!

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed Ruby Hill already as my work friends and I have made it a…read moretradition to come taste at least twice a year (with one of us being a member here). We have been able to try various tasting menus and as a group we really like their peacock zin, cuvee dray, and the sparkling. Recently we tried the wine train experience which worked out quite well since it was actually pretty sunny after a rainy November week. As we were celebrating some birthdays they decorated a chalkboard sign with our names and welcomed us with some sparkling. The guide warned us that there would be plenty of pours and some snacks at our final stop, so we grabbed a pack of crackers and some meat to tide us over. The train is really cute with barrel seats. However, be warned that it is quite a bumpy ride, so you may want to finish what's in your glass before it starts. It can also get pretty warm in the train, as we ended up not needing our jackets. We got to taste some of the grapes off the vines and many photo shoot opportunities as our guide told us some fun history tidbits. We ended at the water tower where there was more wine and a snack plate waiting for us. The decor in the water tower was really cute and festive for fall. The minimum for the train is 8 paid spots and the maximum is 14. The trolley could definitely comfortably fit that many. Their merch is really cute, and someone almost always find something to go home with. One last note, we love their French onion dip as well and look forward to having that each visit.

Quality/Quantity - We are now members. If you are following,…read morewe (I) have been shopping to join more wineries. In Paso Robles, Napa, Grass Valley (Auburn), Carmel, Monterey, and even Reno (LOL). So ignore all my previous reviews where I have said I plan to cut back on drinking, lol. My daughter and I both got different flights and did "family" style. I wanted to try as many wines before joining. 14 samples!!! Sold! My wife decided to join in the fun later and also got a Robere flight. Sorry, I missed the first two pictures of the wines. But see all the other bottles that we sampled. All of which were good. Plus I am more of a red drinker, so the 1 white sample was more than enough. Atmosphere - Small tasting room. Indoor and outdoor seating. Small parking lot. Private room available. Open 5 days a week. Standard hours = Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2pm to 6pm. Fridays from 1pm to 6pm. Saturdays from noon to 6pm. Sundays from noon to 5pm. Winter days and hours differ; see website. Service - Carol was great. We were also greeted by the new owner Ravii. Congrats. Also met Ravii's daughter for a brief second. Look forward to the pick up party, which I had to change my travel schedule just to attend. :) The things I do for good wine. Price - New member so the 3 tasting were free + generous tip. Normally $20 a tasting (5 wines). Wine club members (7 wines), that can be waived with a 2 bottle purchase. Very similar to our last trip in Paso Robles where we bought cases and cases of wine... Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2012/2015 and now Raviis success since October of 2024.

We sat outside in the patio and it was the perfect weather with the shade and breeze. They offer 2 different tastings, both with 5 different wines and priced at $20. A tasting can be waived with the purchase of 2 bottles. Our favorite was the petite sirah and the staff allowed us an extra taste of our choice at the end. We did wish the staff would explain more about the wines we were tasting (there was no explanations at all and we had to read the menu to learn more) but otherwise we had a relaxing and enjoyable experience at Dante Robere.

We got married at Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery in August of this year, and our guests still…read morehaven't stopped raving about it. From the breathtaking architecture and lush vineyards to the impeccable service, every detail felt truly magical - it was beyond anything we could have imagined. My husband and I were searching for a venue that captured that rustic Italian/Spanish villa charm - we loved the idea of a wine country wedding, but many Napa/Sonoma venues were completely out of budget. Then we found Casa and it was everything we hoped for and more. We decided to DIY almost all of our décor (so much so that we arrived with a U-Haul!), and I was nervous about how everything would come together. But the staff at Casa Real completely exceeded our expectations. They were incredibly organized, patient, and accommodating, which took so much stress off of us. Despite hiring external day-of coordinators, our on-site coordinator, Jenny, was a standout. She was warm, proactive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding perfect. Every interaction with her felt like we were in great hands. The entire Casa Real team was also very flexible and professional when working with our external vendors -- everyone from our live painter to our photo booth, rental company, and DJ felt supported by the venue staff. One of my favorite moments was during cocktail hour: we barely had time to grab bites ourselves, but our servers made sure we were taken care of. They literally trailed us with hors d'oeuvres and champagne so we could enjoy the food and drinks without missing a moment - it was such a thoughtful touch! Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the flawless flow of the evening, the gorgeous grounds, and the outstanding hospitality. Casa Real's grand ballroom felt romantic and elegant, and the staff's professionalism helped preserve our vision while keeping everything seamlessly on schedule. If you're a couple hoping for a venue that values service as much as style, I cannot recommend Casa Real enough. They went above and beyond for us and helped create the most memorable day of our lives. We'll forever be grateful to Jenny and the entire team for their care, attention to detail, and overall excellence.

Are you kidding me?! How is this the first time that I'm hearing about this event?! This event was…read morefabulous! It's basically an all you can sip wine buffet! An absolute dream for all of you winos out there. I came across this event on the Alameda County Fair website. I had planned to attend the fair, but couldn't figure out which date that I wanted to go. But once I saw this event, I knew that I just had to go and check it out because it just sounded too good to be true! I paid $45 for the event which included admission into the fair. Parking was not included, and I prepaid for parking online which costed $10. This event was actually held on the field right in the middle of the horse races! I was given a wrist band that included in and out privileges, but I ended up staying there the whole time since I got there about an hour and a half after it started. The event was held between 2 and 5 pm, but I rolled in "fashionably late" (ahem!) at 3:30pm. I actually feel like this was a great time to go because the lines weren't excessively long, and I might have passed out from all of the wine if I would have kept drinking. There were over 40 different wineries pouring their most popular and award winning wines! There were many local wineries as well as a few that I had recently visited while wine tasting in Mendocino county! Way too many to name, but there was so much variety! The pourers were mostly volunteers, so many of them didn't know too much about the wineries and the background of the wines. However, this event wasn't meant to be intimate as there were so many different wineries that were showcasing their wines. There were many shaded tables and chairs around where people could sit. They also had a big wager tent where people could sip while betting on the horse races! I did not participate in the betting this time around, but I would like to do it next year for sure. I must have tried over 50 different wines that day! A word of advice to anyone who is thinking about coming out: drink lots of water and pace yourself! I believe that they had a water stand available in the wagering tent, but I just brought my own. Unfortunately, I didn't follow my own advice and didn't pace myself. I'll let you figure out how the night ended... In any event, the Sip, Savor, & Wager was really fun! I met lots of people, mingled around, and tried many different wines that I had never tried before. There were also a few food trucks around for those who didn't get a chance to eat. This was the first time that this event was held in conjunction with the Alameda County Fair and I think it was an excellent turn out! Being able to get a closeup view of the horse races was icing on the cake. I definitely plan to attend the event next year if they decide to have it again!

The drive…read moreto the venue is beautiful, there were staff directing us where to park and how to get into the venue, even when it was hot. It is like within a winery, I didn't explore much outside but we were welcomed with a drink either a sangria or lemonade, people immediately wanted to go into the shade and there were places to sit, listen to the live music and sign and drop off gifts. Then cocktail hour started and the bartenders were great and friendly and the alcohol and drinks were really good. The hordouvres/appetizers were amazing!! I liked how they came out and served them and they kept on coming, I ate so much I was worried I was going to be to full for dinner. The bacon wrapped something, I think dates? And the fried chick peas, sandwiches, ceviche, everything was so good with our drinks! They then opened up the ballroom for us to take our seats, it was a sot down served meal and I chose the fish option. It came with a salad first that was huge and bread and then dinner was served efficiently, food was good! The bathrooms are located behind the stage but overall it's a big ballroom, for lots of space and activities like the Photo Booth and other vendors. Sound was good, decorations and staff were awesome, they also have a bridal room with a bathroom nearby for the wedding party and their stuff. I really enjoyed this venue as a guest, pictures were also really nice! Also well air conditioned on a hot day.

We reserved our date quite in advance but had a lot of support in the planning. We first worked with Nicole during the initial planning process, and then things were handed off to our coordinator Makenna. She was excellent to work with when we had questions and changes as we got closer to our date. Palm was also very flexible with us viewing the venue with family in advance and scheduling a rehearsal the week of. Our coordinator Makenna was sick last minute so we worked with Melissa on the day of the wedding. Despite coming in last minute, she took great care of us and everything went smoothly! The ceremony package with wedding coordinator was a great value for how smoothly everything went. We definitely recommend working with preferred vendors whenever possible to make things even easier, as they have good relations with the venue and paperwork is easier. We are so glad we got married here and can't wait to visit the winery again in the future! Thanks so much to Makenna and Melissa for making our special day so memorable!
