Their prices are reasonable and their champagne is fantastic. Over the summer I had a wine slushee that was delicious. The atmosphere is cozy. There is plenty of seating and also a few rooms off to the side where you can also sit and enjoy your drink. It's nice to sit outside when the weather is warm. Sometimes there is live music which is a treat. They offer food from Finnegan's which is a couple doors down. The service is always friendly.

Of which there is no other!! Both wines were grown at Wente in Livermore Valley. I had them at Uncle Yu's at the Vineyard, in downtown Livermore. The 1998 Semillon was thick and silky, very complex with a breadth that one does not expect....start, middle and finish were distinctly different!! I tasted melon, grass and anise...but they said fig?? Either way, an uniquely full and rich wine. By far my favorite wine to date!! The 1974 Cuvee W (Chardonnay) was also thick and silky, but had more butter, spice, and a fruit...perhaps very ripe pineapple. Remarkable!! Proof positive that good whites age nicely!! This wine may not be for everyone, it is not the usual crisp, light bright type, but for a rich complex wine, it takes the prize!!! Kudos to Uncle Yu's for having such an amazing wine selection!!

Glad we had reservations. We had wine tasting along with food tasting. Everything was good and beautifully presented. Afterwards, we went into the gift shop and purchased lotions and the best ginger jam that paired well with Brie. The tastings were ample and a nice selection. It was pricey, but for a special occasion, worth it. The Ode body butter is the best I had to get another jar. It is really moisturizing and lasts a long time. I prefer the "verde" scent. They have lavender, and unscented too. very relaxing vibe.

Lisa and Al hosted my group for a private tasting for a group of ~20 people…read more Lisa was very communicative to help me plan the big day! She gave me the option to choose my own wines for the tasting but I left it to her, the professional to do it. She said I would know my group better in case we had preferences! She also gave me the option to pay early to maximize time on-site (which I didn't do because I wasn't confident on how many people in my group were gonna show up until the morning of.) The day before she sent us driving directions and the gate codes so we could make sure we could get there. Getting there was very easy per Lisa's instructions! Be sure to pay attention to the art pieces as you drive in, they're super cool. As we arrived, we were each handed our first glass of wine, and would continue to use that glass for the rest of the 5 tastings. I think we did 2 whites and 3 reds. Al explained all the wines to us and how all the grapes was grown right down the street. He was able to answer my group's questions. Personally I loved the white wines because that's my preferences, but I actually enjoyed the red wines for someone that doesn't like red wine. My friends loved the red wines too. Some of us also bought bottles to take home! They had 2 bathrooms which was a relief for my big group! The view was INSANE on the property. So beautiful and so glad that we came on a gorgeous, blue sky, sunny day. We definitely took advantage of the scenery with all the photos we took! Lisa helped us take photos as well. They also have 2 cute dogs (that they checked with us before they let roam around) that joined the group outside! My whole group loved Lisa and Al and they mingled with us for the 1.5 hours we were there. They walked us out and chatted with our bus driver too!! What a nice couple.

The friend that took us here mentioned how she likes that you never feel rushed. I see why people purchase wine club memberships now. As a Pendulum wine club member she gets wine pick ups, discounts, and unlimited tastings with three guests. The setting is beautiful! So many flowers. Nicely shaded picnic benches with umbrellas. They have a large fish pond and it's 25 cents for a cup of fish food to feed the turtles and koi. This is one of the most family friendly wineries I've seen. Many people bring their kids. They have corn holes too. Fancy and Pudding were the highlight! I reached out and felt like a Disney princess having one of them come to me for pets. The restrooms were very clean as well! It was fun browsing the store too. And of course the tasting and charcuterie board were a fantastic experience. I loved the cheeses and almonds they had. We had the option of deviating from the tasting menu. But everything we tasted was great! I think you can also bring your own snacks. It's a great winery experience. Nothing for praise for Cline Cellars. The day we went it looks like they were setting up a wedding later in the day. But that didn't negatively impact our experience at all.
