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.

Being a first time patron I opted for the House Wine Flight and charcuterie, so that I could get a little taste of everything. The charcuterie had salami, duck breast, 2 cheeses, nuts, prosciutto and olives/peppers. I'd definitely order this again... a nice smokey duck breast with any glass of wine is fine by me! While I enjoyed each of the wines I tried (Sauvignon blanc, Rose, Chardonnay, Pinot noir, Syrah and Malbec), I don't know that any one style screamed out at me more than the next. The Sauvignon and Rose were probably the two more at the top for me. I look forward to not only checking out this cute town again, but also spending some time at Baldassari to see what else they have to offer!

I made reservations for two adults and two young teenagers on a Tuesday morning and were the first guests to arrive that day. We were greeted with a welcome glass and were told they were setting up our table. That gave us enough time to do a couple of selfies and within minutes, we were escorted inside. Season Leef was our host/wine ambassador that morning and we loved her energy, attention to detail and how she treated us like we were members of the MacRostie Winery/family. She was more about understanding our palettes and pouring us what we gravitated towards to showcase the vast portfolio Heidi (winemaker) has been able to produce. Usually not a fan of Chardonnays but it was a neat experience tasting different variables and how each one is slightly different. We know we like Pinot Noirs so when we started diving into the reds, thats when we started figuring out what we liked. Ended up purchasing a bottle of their 2022 Nightwing Vineyard 828 Clone Pinot Noir :chefkiss: My two young teens are used to being at wineries with us so they're pretty good about keeping themselves occupied on their own (even with out devices). But, I really appreciated that Season brought over some paper and a pack of markers for them since they both still like to draw. Plus, we had a couple of good sessions of tic tac toe while we sipped and took our time. We had a great experience here thanks to Season! Seeing that they're dog friendly, we'll bring our 4 legged family member next time.

Gracianna is not a huge commercial winery nor is it a massive producer. It's unforgettably quaint, intimate, and personalized. We stayed at their adorable Airbnb for a few days. The space was super clean, welcoming, and stocked with all the basics. The views are amazing. The wines were all top level, super approachable, and we loved every pour; our faves were the Zins and Pinots. The service is what really sets this experience apart... Trini was incredibly responsive. We were beyond lucky to have Lafayette as our server. He made the wine tasting feel like a chill, relaxing get-together. Not only is he knowledgeable, but also relatable and warm/inviting. We never felt rushed (actually overstayed our tasting bc time flew) and got a lot of amazing recommendations. Photos don't do this place justice: You just have to come and see for yourself.

Through April 19 this winery is offering a complementary tasting for 2 so we took advantage of it as my friend had never been there. I was happy that we were able to bring in a few little snacks of our own. Someone wineries do not allow that. Jen was our server and was quite hospitable- she allowed my friend and I to choose where we'd like to sit and thank goodness there's a big canopy because rain was threatening any moment. We ended up tasting about six wines, which I thought was impressive. Both of our favorites were the Brut bubbles and the Zinfandel from Russian River Valley. The views are spectacular from here. I've only been in the summer before, so we sat outside on the deck overlooking the property. The bathrooms are close by and quite clean. As there's been a lot of rain lately, the mile .4 drive up to the top of the wine tasting area was extremely muddy. However, I didn't realize how muddy until we sat down and noticed mud on our pants I suppose from getting out of my car. When I arrived home, I could not believe how much mud was on the side of my car, my tires & my wheel wells. Perhaps the owners could put some more gravel down? I do know that I wouldn't drive up this road in the future after it's been rainy. But all in all a delightful experience. In the past, I've used the hiking trails, which are really nice. However, you need to be a club member to do so and I was with someone who belonged to their wine club. As we've had rain on and off the last few days. I expected some mud but I will say the 1.4 mile drive to the top of the winery was extremely muddy. We didn't notice until we sat down that we had mud on our pants.
