They have many varietals and the quality is top notch for all, plus priced exceptionally well. A tasting is a remarkably inexpensive $10, comped if you buy a bottle. It's well worth the price. The property is owned and operated by a group of Trappist Cistercian monks. There's a lot of information to read about them and the history on placards on the property. The property is fascinating in itself and they also have a centuries old portion of a abbey from Spain reconstructed on the property. It was purchased by William Randolph Hearst and the stone blocks stored in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco for decades. They were donated to the monks here with the understanding it be recreated on the site. It has been, and magnificent. The wine tasting is very informative and the knowledgeable staff will walk through each selection. This may be a bit far afield but well worth the trip.

I've always loved the history and culture surrounding the relationship between wine and monasteries…read morearound the world. This one I've been wanting for visit for many years due to its ties to Sierra Nevada Brewing nearby and also the story of the abbey stores from Europe. Mix that with the original owners of the areas, murder, and ghost stories in Hawaii, it makes for a fascinating visit! I'll spare the long history to be enjoyed on your visit. This entire region is fruit orchards and beautiful fields. New Clairvaux sits as part of a vineyard that was much larger long ago. The current vineyard is easy to get to with clearly marked signs and plenty of parking. Inside the barn you'll find the wine shop and gift shops, which you can also do tours and tastings. It's also an event space. The monastery is nearby down a shaded path, but visiting is restricted. The church is also nearby, which incorporates stones from an ancient abbey in Europe that themselves took an amazing and long journey to and up here. The gardens and vines are worth walking through, it's a beautiful area. We all decided to do the basic tasting tour where they share the history and stories while you taste. If you're a wine or history buff, this one is worth visiting.

We took the Brewery Tour and Tasting which was 60 minutes long. Our tour guide, Jack, took us…read morethrough a brief history of the company and talked us through the process of making beer. I would consider this more of a straightforward educational tour, rather than one that gives you a dad joke per minute (this could be a pro or a con depending on who you are). I thought one of the most interesting parts was stepping into the refrigerated hop storage area and being able to hold a hop cone and smell everything. The tour ends with a tasting of four beers and we each got a souvenir keychain. The Brewery Tour and Tasting was $13.26 per person after tax. If you remove the cost of the beer and the keychain, the tour itself is

Visiting Sierra Nevada Brewing's original facility in Chico has been on my brewery bucket list for…read moremany years. It was at the same time unexpected and also exactly as I had imagined. The brewery is outside of downtown on a huge campus. Public free parking is covered and nearby, you can see the employee entrance and all the brewery buildings beyond. The restaurant & bar entrance is closest to the parking (see separate review), but there's so much more to see on your visit. For beer fans, the highlight will probably be the taproom and merchandise shop in the farther building. It definitely felt like the employee bar, with many clearly finishing shifts for a beer before heading home. It's a small bar, but has an amazing tap selection including some not available to try anywhere else. They have small tables too, which overlooks like the tour entrance area and merchandise store. It's huge and there's a ton of swag. You can also get all their fresh cases and special bottled selections to go, again including some not available elsewhere. Prices are reasonable and it's definitely worth a stop! If you want to do a tour, they offer many different ones including ones with special tastings but they should be booked ahead of time.

Paradise brew works really blows all the brewery's in this area out of the water. It has been a really long time since I have been to a brewery where I liked everything I have tried and I can't believe I'm lucky enough to have one right here in town. Having a hard time deciding on which beer to have because they are all so good is an awesome problem to have. The staff is also friendly, I went in and the brewer was sitting at the bar and happily talking about the beers and answering any taste questions we might have. It really feels like a local community pub. The space is beautiful too, it is just the right season to rediscover PBW because the vibes of the outdoor lounge is 11/10 awesome! I also got an add on Instagram they are having punk shows here now, I can't wait! I might truly never leave! Highly recommended!

If I could give more than 5 stars to Paradise Brew Werks, I absolutely would…read more Not only is their beer seriously delicious, but the humans behind it are even better. They sponsored our entire event and went above and beyond to support their community. It's rare to find a business that pours so much heart into what they do, both in their craft and in giving back. Every beer I tried was fantastic, their vibe was welcoming, and the generosity they showed meant the world to us. Paradise Brew Werks isn't just a brewery, it's a group of incredible people making a real difference. If you haven't checked them out yet, do yourself a favor and go. Amazing beer. Amazing humans. Amazing community support. Thank you, Paradise Brew Werks! We're beyond grateful.

Told us how "Burnt Barn Distillery " got started, what plans they have for the future, (looking forward to "Food Truck" weekends!!) Took us on a tour of the distillery, was very knowledgeable!! The grounds are will kept, patio area looks very inviting!! Felt the price for the Vodka and Gin was fair priced, (tell you add in the price for tasting and Ca. tax). The price for the tasting is a bit too high, $15. for two small tastes. "Even if you do get to keep "One Monogrammed Tasting Glass", was out of line. Burnt Barn will soon have three more spirits to samples, a Rum a Brandy an Shiraz Port!! Even 4 tastings at $15. would be a bit high!! They also Do Not Comp you the tastings if you purchase a bottle of Vodka or Gin. That makes the cost of a bottle even higher!!! I will return, probably to just purchase a bottle or two, will pass on the tastings unless the price drops significantly or they comp the tasting? Hope the best for Burnt Barn Distillery!!

We split some type of massive burger with 2 patties and garlic parm fries. First of all I couldn't even get my mouth around the burger...too big! I cut a small corner off and it was juicy and very tasty! I had a glass of chardonnay and my boyfriend got a glass of El Toro. Plus we bought a big can of El Toro to go ( i think they call it a growler??) Atmosphere is relaxing and they brought a bowl of cold water for my puppy ( i actually carry treats and water with me). They have a nice merch shop attached to the restaurant so I bought my boyfriend a t shirt as well( he put it on right away..lol ) The waitress ( Diedra) was super cool and helpful making it a even more fun experience! Thanks Laura in the merch shop. Both ladies very kind and helpful! Its a great setting in an area that is being built up. A must stop! Great time!
