    When you find a special place like Smokey Ridge Ranch you have a dilemma - do I keep this gem to myself or do I tell the world and fear that it will be overcrowded like the other farms around here? While going to a couple of farms to walk around and get apple pie I was fried way too many people and way too hot. Driving home I realized that I didn't buy a single apple! Randomly saw this farm and saw that it wasn't swarming with people (thank god!). This is a very cute/small location with apples to pick AND chestnuts! Never picked chestnuts before, but this was such a fun experience and the staff were very friendly. Will come back!

    The weather when we visited was great. Had a neat wine tasting experience at the backyard. They have free tasting of jam, no double dipping please! They have $10 of two options for wine tasting. Wine bottle costs $15-28 for a 750ml bottle. Two portable toilets available. Chestnut picking available too. Staffs were friendly and accommodating.

    I went today with my husband and baby girl. We picked chestnut and bought a bag of Fuji apples. Even though it was the beginning of the season, we picked almost 2pound of chestnut (the cost is 8$ per pound). It was fun!! At the farm they have wine and cider tasting, but unfortunately no food. We'll come back next year for other chestnuts

    If you love chestnuts this is the farm for you. It's small but has plenty of beautiful mature chestnut trees. We had a great time gathering our own chestnuts & they were delicious!! Plenty of parking & friendly staff. They also offer wine tasting & apple picking as well.

    This place was sooo cute! We got the 2 different wine flights! My two faves were the Sangiovese and the late harvest. They were sweeter in taste! There's also a cute area outside to take fall pics in between all the beautiful trees! Would def recommend!

    Although it was too late in the season for u-pick apples, they still had delicious apples to purchase without the work. The staff were very welcoming. There was a small food stand, Sierra Rizing, that had the best apple grilled cheese. Plenty of tables with views that we stayed a while.

    It is a small place with wine tasting, apples, jams, etc. The unique aspects are 1) nice place for picnic and 2) exceptional service.

My personal favorite was the Artichoke Florentine because the mint pesto is so refreshing for the summer. I also appreciate the low alcohol options, as it allows me to join in the fun despite my alcohol sensitivity. The vineyards and gardens are spectacular as usual; I highly recommend the main lake trail/loop for the shade it offers during the hot summer. The turtle pond is secluded and pleasant, but it's further and lacks shade, so I recommend bringing a parasol.

The ambiance, the guided experience, and the overall vibe were exactly what I had hoped for. Our waitress was exceptional--knowledgeable, incredibly friendly, and she made us feel right at home. We truly couldn't have started his birthday any better. As for the food, I was a bit bummed that there wasn't a lunch or more robust meal offering. It slightly diminished the overall poshness of the experience, as we would have loved something beyond charcuterie while enjoying the wine. That said, we still had a wonderful time--and even became members--so that says a lot. I do hope they expand their food options in the future. If you're looking for a great atmosphere and delicious wine, I would absolutely recommend checking them out.

Add a glass of their Syrah or Pinot, and it doesn't get much better than that. You can tell Marco Cappelli is a master of his craft. They're sustainable, high-quality, well-made wines and unlike anything I've had before. I was there on the weekend and treated myself to their pizza, which was amazing! Perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with the wine. I also tried their charcuterie platter, which was the perfect complement to the tasting. I loved how thoughtful their wine club is, too--it's a refillable bottle system, which makes it eco-friendly and super convenient. This spot is an absolute hidden gem, and I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Placerville.

We are visiting from LA but wish we were much closer! Will definitely be coming back to visit.

I didn't realize it until we left which I would've probably not bought the bottle, especially being in the industry. However, the wines were nice and I ended up purchasing the GSM. Will I come back? Probably not with so many wineries in the area that DO waive the fee with bottle purchase. Happy wine tasting!

We ordered at the bar inside and then the wines were brought out to us on the patio. It took longer than expected to get our flights, and then we were a bit disappointed that the sommelier didn't spend much time telling us about the wines. She brought them out and told us what each wine on the flight was, then left and we never saw her again. We've had several amazing tasting experiences in wine country where the sommelier tells you many more details about the wines including where on the property the grapes are grown, how it is made, and what different notes we will taste in each wine. It was a pretty basic explanation and we didn't feel that it was very personable despite it being a slow weekday. We ordered two tastings but all the wines were brought out in small carafes, we couldn't tell if each one held enough wine for one of us or both of our tastings combined. This wasn't ever explained either, so we assumed it was for both of us to share. We still enjoyed having our wines on this beautiful property, and we were able to have our baby with us which was nice. We weren't very impressed with the wines themselves and did not have any favorites that we needed to purchase bottles of. It is $10 for a glass or a tasting which was quite the deal. The prices and atmosphere were great, but the wine and overall experience was average.
