The estate and gardens are beautiful--well-maintained grounds that make for a lovely setting.We chose one of their wine tastings, which was excellent quality without the high fees some other wineries charge.

He shared interesting information and history about Kendall-Jackson and their sister properties.Overall, it was a lovely day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality tasting experience in a beautiful setting without overpaying.

He was warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire tasting feel relaxed and engaging without ever being overwhelming. He explained each wine and the regions they came from in a way that was easy to understand but still really interesting--perfect whether you're a casual sipper or more into the details. The standout for us was the 2019 Zinfandel--bold, smooth, and just really memorable. Definitely the one we're still talking about. Beyond the wine itself, wandering through the sculpture gardens added something really special to the visit. It's such a peaceful, beautiful setting and made the whole experience feel more like an afternoon escape than just a tasting. Honestly, Kevin made it. We'd come back again just to have another tasting with him. You are full of Aloha. Mahalo!!!

The drive was pleasant and beautiful, and it was a good day to be out. As we approached Le Crema, we were romanced by the surrounding countryside. As we got inside, we walked up to the tasting room and then took our wine and went outside and enjoyed the view and the tasting. It was so wonderful. I wound up buying a couple bottles to take home with me and so did my daughter. A pallet is a very strange thing to explain to people because my taste and what I think about that wines flavors and nuances it really varies from person to person. But I was so impressed with this lovely product. If I wasn't there, wouldn't be those two bottles in my car. I recommend this winery and the people that work there were very, very nice and hospitable. The drive was exceptional. Beautiful.

When we arrived I was amazed at how beautiful the estate is and the vineyards are well kept and breathtaking. As we entered the estate we were greeted my the host as my friends had reservations and since it was a hot day we did our tasting inside with a wonderful window view of the vineyards. We were each giving a glass of the Pinot Noir Rose which was absolutely refreshing and delicious this was actually my favorite wine. We had wine tasting of both Red and White wines. I am more of a Pinot Noir drinker than Chardonnay. Every tasting we had was really good, but no of them topped that fantastic Rose. Ursula, I believe was her name was our wine host is she was amazing and explained the different wines and the vineyards and where their grapes are grown. After out tasting we had a really nice picnic outside and enjoyed each others company. I would definitely come back without a doubt.

She is also great with children, and made my 3 year old feel very welcome! Out tasting took place outdoors, and the setting was casual, rustic, and quite pleasant. The chicken coop on the property was a big hit with my daughter (she loved feeding them corn!).

We have been wine club members for awhile, and have visited H&L countless times over the years, so we knew that hosting our rehearsal event here was the perfect choice! Devin, who helped us book, plan and host the event, went above and beyond for us in every way. He could not have made this event more stress-free for us, and he's also just an amazing guy who provided an awesome energy during our event (our guests loved talking to him and learning about the winery). Our ~70ish guests fit perfectly on the lawn and the team made the space feel intimate and beautifully arranged for our group. They let us not only arrive early to set up, but they graciously let us stay a little later when we lost track of time from having too much fun. We love Hook and Ladder even more now than we already did, and highly recommend hosting your next event in your beautiful space!!!

Very knowledgeable and attentive to our wine tasting needs. We tried several wines from white to red. There is not one I didn't like! Matter of fact, I have never purchased a bottle of wine over $100 in my life, but here I did, because it was that good!!! Maddie did clue us in on a special case of Chardonnay, where normally a bottle is $90 and we split a case by three people and we paid $120 each for 4 bottles. I love a good deal! The grounds are beautiful and they have an amazing pond to look at while you taste scrumptious Wine! That's the best word, I could come up with to describe the taste.

It was great popping in from one to the others. Anyways, as alway an amazing time was had here. We had a reservation during Fourth of July which I thought would have been a little busier but it was quite nice. Not too crazy. Beautiful afternoon out for wine. There was a good amount of us but only four tasting which they were gracious enough to utilize a larger table to accommodate all of us. Very thoughtful of them even though we had a feeling that people were just going to walk around instead of staying in place...lol... Check in was a breeze. First off, the property is beautiful. A beautiful pond right out front and then the huge stairways up to the tasting room. Of course the showstopper view of the vineyards and property. Check in was right when you reached the top. It didn't take long till we got seated at the inside table. Sort of our own little private room. Started off with a nice crisp white. Even the little sample was great. I totally forgot the sweetie that took care of us but she was a major doll. Very sweet and friendly. Explained everything down to the tea which was amazing. Their tasting which started off with the cool crisp white to the bold red were tasty. Each with their own unique flavors. Whatever you prefer, white or the red, there's something for everyone. As we're a sister member down in Los Olivos, they accommodate us with four tasting included. A nice way to bring friends and enjoy what the valley has to offer. The whites were great and perfect for a nice hot day. Also a great cold drink but red is what we all enjoyed. Just with the pour, you can taste the bold richness flavors of the grapes. Amazing. The property is beautiful with the beautiful olive trees line driveway approaching the front. The cute lake right out front and once you reach the top of the tasting room, the million dollar view of the valley. Tasting room itself is beautiful which a good amount of the tasting can be done on the covered patio with umbrellas. The bar counter is nice as well but private rooms can also be accommodated.
