This review is for the venue. This past weekend, I visited the Hanford Ranch Winery for the first…read moretime ever. I was there for a small business holiday shopping fair. I am cutting to the chase, the winery grounds and views are impressive. As I was driving to get here, the rural countryside did not seem particularly scenic with its flat valley landscape. But as I drove up into the winery grounds, I noticed the elevation. Who knew there are rolling hills in the area?!? I did not. Since the winery is on an elevated ground, it has spectacular panoramic views of the valley with the neighboring vineyards and grazing fields. If the views are this gorgeous currently in our mild winter, I can imagine how it would look in the Fall and Spring. The winery grounds include two large Spanish styled outdoor courtyards. Even though the parking lot is gravel packed, the grounds have paved walkways. There are two restroom buildings near each courtyard. The tasting room staff member and the grounds member that I spoke to were friendly and hospitable. They showed an enthusiasm for the winery. If you are looking for an outdoor space for large (crafts fair) or not so large (weddings, parties) events...check them out.

I loved the Barbera, my friends liked the cab and bought a bottle to take home. She bought another bottle too but I'm unsure which one. The grounds were great if your considering a wedding venue. I should have taken more pictures. I would definitely go back for more smooth wine and to chat more with Mr Hanford. He's a character. Lol.

They have a large grass area where you can bring your picnic blanket or lawn chairs and relax while you enjoy their live performances. They have a variety of food and wine choices to select from.

Unfortunately we were a large group and I didn't get a chance for food/drink pictures so you'll just have to see for yourself! Looking forward to warm weather and more afternoons in the sun here.

A guest at wedding had to go out and purchase tank of propane because heater wasn't working. These are both basic expectations to be part of the service at a wedding venue. The meal was supposed to be family style. Instead of placing all dishes on table so guests could enjoy properly, timely and pass amongst themselves, servers would bring one dish at a time and several minutes later servers would bring another dish....so you didn't have your entire meal available at same time. Not at all how a family style meal should be presented or organized. In general I thought the event was unorganized and not well thought out.

Now that life has settled down a bit I need to give love to where love is deserved...The memories this place has and will forever hold for us is incredible. I want to start off by saying getting married comes with so much work, head space and money. I downloaded so many wedding apps to help me in any way and our top priority was our venue. Where we want to leave memories that we can cherish and hold on to. We found this vineyard through a few wedding apps and felt it wasn't far for families to travel to but far enough to feel special. During our consultation we got to meet the AMAZING Alina who owns the vineyard. She introduced us to some delicious wines and got down to business of touring her venue and the scenery she has to offer. Within moments it felt like a dream. The warmth her vineyard offers with her family as the caretakers you can tell they pour themselves into what Grace Vineyard is. A place for people to come and relax and enjoy life. A place to create memories. The fact that her vineyard offers all inclusive as well was just the cherry on top! When I say she takes care of you I mean she takes care of you. We had children at our wedding which most people do not want to deal with the stress of baby sitting but with Alina not only did she offer fun jumbo grass games but she also offered a lifeguard on hand to make sure no little ones got into the pool. The worry of drama was out the door when she offered all night security as well! We also had a 9 person band and with constant communication we were able to have my husband have his wedding dream by having a live band! Her willingness to make sure that our wedding was everything we wanted and more I just couldn't have asked for a better day. My husband and I will forever love this place and keep a spot of them and Alina in our hearts. We will definitely be back to enjoy our favorite wine and truly just come back to bring the memories of our wedding day again. Would recommend this place to ANY Bride.

What a lovely surprise. We had a great relaxing afternoon,…read moreenjoyed some awesome wine and ate some delicious food here. We didn't know what to expect, but we were quickly greeted as soon we walked in and taken to the patio. I made reservations but we arrived a bit early and they accommodated us. We did come to try the wine but we were starving as we took advantage bid the fact that they have a restaurant there and ordered the burger and the pastrami sandwich. I think I've said it before but I will never ever NOT get the burger if I see it on the menu. For our wine, the better half got the chocolate pairing flight and i got a flight that consisted of the pomegranate sparkling wine which was so refreshing in that heat, the chard, and their Petite Syrah. Her pairing came with a flight of 5 and 5 chocolates (fudge) and we've never done a chocolate pairing before so this was a fun and palate opening experience. All were delicious, if I weren't so far I'd totally join their wine club. There was a live musician which gave the whole place a cool vibe. The only thing that wasn't cool was that weather but thank goodness we were sat under a fan and a covering that had misters!!! What a great touch. The grounds were well manicured but we didn't walk around much due to the heat. And the price is so reasonable, my flight was only $10 and hers was $18. The food was in the $25 or so ballpark. This awesome experience for under $100 is such a deal.

I was excited to try their pomegranate peach sparkling wine and the rosé pnot noir although I'm more of a straight red pinot noir. I don't like sparkling anything but I was willing to give it a try out of curiosity. I would go for the pomegranate sparkling wine the other two I'll pass. I still like to try the vgonier. Sad that they didn't have the chicken poutine anymore, wanted to try it. Ben Cole was playing he's a great singer, the music was great and everything was perfect. One minor thing was we had to wait a little bit for our check but the server was super nice and I understand he was just a little busy so we'll let that slide. Five stars and definitely will be back.

With all of the wineries in Lodi, it can be a difficult decision where to stop in at! We visited…read moreStonum Vineyards a few weekends ago and were delighted with the rustic yet charming ambiance of the winery. We were quickly greeted by the friendly female hostess who offered us either indoor or outdoor seating. We chose to sit indoors to enjoy our tastings of both whites & reds . Normally I prefer reds however in the summer I enjoy a crisp Sauvangion Blanc or even a nice Rose. If you purchase a bottle your tasting fee is waived which is always a great deal. We enjoyed ourselves so much we returned for the Alpine Block party event which included tastings at Stonum Vineyards and two other nearby wineries. This fun filled evening included live music, food trucks, and the Lodi Wine trolley shuttling you back & forth between the wineries. Definitely a good time! I highly recommend Stonum Vineyards & Tasting Room for great wine, friendly service and well coordinated, entertaining events.

I had driven by many times and it seemed like an appointment only place but I guess now they have enough staffing to open up the hours and days of the week. First, their reputation has always been very good. They've had some recognition from some reputable wine sources so I had very high expectations for the wine. In, short, the wines were very good. They had a nice selection from rose to the more Lodi styled red wines. I really did enjoy all the wines and the price point seems fair. I guess I was kinda hoping to meet the winemaker, learn more about their vineyards and purpose for growing certain varietals. When you get wine with a story it makes the experience that much more enjoyable. I really like this place and I'm hoping to make a stronger connection with the business since I consider myself an advocate for Lodi wines since my hobby is to compare our wines with the best out in the other regions of CA. Pretty heavy competition but so far Lodi is more than able to compete with certain types of wines aka Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Syrah and occasionally Cabernet.

My wife favorite was the sparkling wine and my was the old town red. My wife also enjoyed the wine slushy which she said was delicious. The wines were so good that we became wine club members. Customer service was great and the staff was very knowledgeable about the history of the winery and the wines. Ambiance was great and very customer service friendly. It has an old town winery feel that really focuses on the history of the vineyard. Seating is great and a wonderful outdoor seating especially on a hot day. This is a must go to if you are a wine connoisseur.
