    I came here to join my church's wine meetup. Upon entering the winery I felt at home the vibe, decor, and staff were superb. The aesthetics of this newly opened winery (fall of "2025") was breathtaking. It's definitely a vibe! Annie was our server and she was kind, helpful, and answered questions about the wine. She knew her stuff! The owner and winemaker Jennifer was in the tasting room to welcome us and she is a delight. "Sakura means "cherry blossoms" in Japanese. The fleeting beauty of the sakura remind us to embrace life and appreciate each moment." Their wines are delicious: Pinot Blanc citrusy, crisp and lite, 2024 Pinot Grigio citrusy with hints of lemon, 2022 Tempranillo berry aroma, smooth and fruity, 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon spicy not tannic a kick at the end of my palette, the Aphelion (Cab) is their non vintage with no specific year mentioned had a fruity aroma that was spicy and smooth, the 2018 Aphelion, means farthest from the sun and this 2018 Cab was smooth and tart, and lastly I ended my tasting with their 2013 Late Harvest Tempranillo. I'm not a huge Tempranillo fan so this was not my favorite. Overall, the wines were exquisite and pleased my palette. My favorites and the ones that stood out were the Pinot Blanc and the Cabs. The winery is currently open Saturdays: 12-6 pm Sundays: 12-4 pm And they have an array of events and classes for your enjoyment.

    Jennifer, the winemaker and owner, is an absolute delight. She is warm, welcoming, and humble. I brought a group to the winery, and she was so easy to deal with when coordinating. Her staff is friendly and there is something for everyone on their tasting menu.

    We stopped by this quaint tasting room on our way through Livermore. I remembered stopping at their booth at one of the recent Yelp Elite events. We were greeted by wine maker, Jennifer & wine pourer, David who were very accommodating, offering our son a soda or juice and snacks like Dubai Chocolate. There's a cute sofa seating area that allowed us to relax and take time with our tasting. The wines were delicious and accurately described as "soft notes". My son said this was the best tasting room because he enjoyed all the snacks while reading his book. We even had fun taking a snapshot with the Polaroid camera and adding to their guest book. I can't wait to bring family and friends to check out this place.

    Great wines. Both the 2021 and 2022 Tempranillo!! The Petite Verdot Rose was delicious. And, for cold and crisp, try the Pinot Grigio.

    So I have very mixed feelings about this place. Some things are incredible. Some things are not…read moreso great. I am a member of the "Legends" club. So that to me means it's top of the line membership as indicated by their pricing and what we get. So I feel I should get top notch deals, pricing and service. Turns out, we get the same shaft as the lower club members. Starting with the good, the location is pristine. Nice area with lots of room for kids and adults to mingle and play. The wine is also pretty darn good. Of course there are some better than others but I enjoy most of their wine. The service is also for the most part very good. The waitstaff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. Their food is also pretty darn good. It's not incredible, and a bit overpriced but it's fine enough. Their wine pricing is also fair (but of course with the highest membership we get the biggest discount). My biggest complaints would be the price gouging and lack of communication. We made arrangements on a Friday to show Sunday with 6 and asked for the "VIP space upgrade to lounge or upstairs Vista Patio Lounge (when available)". They said no problem. When we showed on Sunday they said it was closed with no notice. Just a sorry. OK whatever. We sit inside (6 people and 2 children) and they charge for 2 children a "non drinker" charge of $10 ($5 each). A head count charge for non-drinkers? For children? Total nonsense! I am spending over $1,200 a year here and you want to gouge me for someone's kids? Their tastings are $40 a pop which is really crazy. Our price is waived on this so that's fine but if you are not a member you are paying a lot for a little. The wines do take a bit of time to come and they don't give you a lot. Kind of a bummer waiting for the taste. We ended up with 4 appetizers (sliders $24, Charcuterie $25, Tater Tots $12 and Pretzel Bites with Grilled Sausage $16) 2 bottles of wine and $4.25 for water and the bill was over $250. Oh and top that off, with 6 people, they charge a mandatory 20% on the bill for a tip and are basing that with taxes (as the button default), not the actual sub-total so they are actually getting about 23%. All in all, I am not sure that the cost is worth what you get. I mean we are giving them a lot of money just to be members and then having to pay more and more for anything else that really should be included (like water and kids) makes this place just a bit too over-rated for me. Probably end my club membership in the fall and go someplace that doesn't place money first.

They have a small menu but the food is delicious and offer large portions. I had the Grilled Gruyere, Prosciutto, Plum & Sour Cherry Jam Sandwich for $18. It was so good with plenty of chunks of prosciutto and Gruyère cheese. My friend had the Chicory and Asian Pear Salad for $18. Large portion offered, which can be shared. She enjoyed the salad.

Roger took care of us, and his customer service was brilliant. Since it was our first time, he took the time to explain each wine, and even cheered with us for our anniversary on the first one Truly top-notch service. We also received a complimentary wine glass, which was such a nice touch. We noticed Bryan helping the table next to us as well, and he also provided excellent customer service. The entire place was very pretty, clean, and organized. They had an outdoor fire pit and kindly turned it on for me since I was cold--it definitely helped keep me warm along with the wine! The dip and crackers were so good--I especially loved the creamy cheese dip. We also ordered the chocolate lava cake; it was okay... but I have to say, Domino's lava cake might still be my favorite lol. Overall, we would definitely go again!

It's SOOOO FUN! Because I got tickets so late I ended up sitting in the lounge. Not a bad bet at all! The room with the seating has an unobstructed view of the stage but the lounge was popping. We could dance and move at our own free will. I need to mention I'm still here and a tad tipsy so forgive me if this review takes some unexpected turns. Anthony at the bar is adorable and super kind. He took care of us all night. Something important to note, you may want to eat before you come or bring food with you. There is an outside pzza shop that you can purchase from too. Anywho, some people have on jeans others have on bedazzled jumpsuits. Come as you are?! Definitely want to come back. TLDR.... it's FUN. Feels local. Affordable.

However, my complaint is that some guests talk through the show! C'mon folks be quiet and respectful! I do think the seats are a bit crammed together, and I wish they'd get some lights on the outside path. After the show, it's pretty dark getting to the parking lot. Also, come on liquor license! I love wine, but wouldn't mind some other beverage options. All that being said, I love this venue and it's a great asset to Livermore, and I'll keep seeing shows there.
