    I came here for their dueling piano event and was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the property is. The vineyard is very well maintained, with manicured grounds and a scenic lake. They even offer boating and paddleboarding, which adds a fun, active touch to the experience. Parking: Free with a decent number of spots for around 100 guests, but it could feel congested for larger events. There's only one way to in and out, so plan accordingly. Also, the road leading to the vineyard is quite dark at night: some areas have little to no lighting, so make sure your headlights are working well, especially since it's a bit of a drive from the main street. Drinks: Some of their popular options include: * Peach Mango Sparkling (11%, Lodi) * Zinfandel 2024 (15.6%, Lodi) * Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2019 (14%, Lodi) * Pomegranate Sparkling (11%, Lodi) They offer picnic snack trays, and for events, they bring in food trucks, which is a nice touch. Service: Friendly and efficient. One downside was staffing and restroom access. It seemed like they were a bit understaffed, and only 2 restrooms were open while others were locked. For an event with around 100 people, this led to long lines, especially in the cold. The event itself was held in a white outdoor tent by the lake, which created a great atmosphere. However, the path to the tent is all gravel with no defined walkway, something to keep in mind if you're wearing heels or thin sandals. Overall, it's a lovely venue with a unique setting, great for small weddings or intimate gatherings.

    This was a nice Yelp event in the peak of heat. There was a lot of shading which was nice to retreat to. There were many different booths to visit to learn a little bit, interact socially, and get a little treat. I really enjoyed the rosé and the slushy strawberry margarita, so delicious. The dole sample at Island Fin Poke was also sooo delicious I wanted to buy the whole menu after. I loved the Pastosa by Lucia booth with the delicious focaccia and the sauce flight. I loved every little booth here it was so nice to learn and see local businesses in the Sacramento area.

    I came here a couple of weeks ago for one of my friends birthday celebration. I've been here a couple of times, but on this particular Sunday, it was super packed. It was a great crowd with great music. I had a mango wine slushy. The weather was absolutely perfect. Just a heads up. Make sure you plan on arriving within the time that they open up because parking fills up fast depending on the event. I will say they did accommodate those of us who had to park in the real dirt area. They had golf cart assistance on deck so I really appreciated that. All in all the customer service is top-tier and I'm looking forward to going back again during the summer.

    Always love the fun time at this holiday tradition - the Valensin Winery holiday pop up gift faire and wine tasting! And thanks to Yelp Sacramento team for bring extra special fun - treating the Yelp Elites to complimentary entry, wine, and small gifts from each vendor! From lotions, candles, lumpia, tacos, stickers, ornaments, (and more!), we had a blast! Valensin Winery is conveniently located off Hwy 99 (just south of Elk Grove in the rural area of Galt) and features soarkling and red wines on a property that has patio seating and shoreline adirondack chairs overlooking their serene pond. Tha nos to Valensin and all the participating vendors, including: Bloom By Steph: holiday sticker Hungry Crafting Sisters: custom photo magnet Maiz Restaurant: birria taco Mx2N: keychain Naomi May Designs: crocheted tree ornament Nudie Bar Soap: tallow deodorant Paradise Fire and Ice: lumpia sample Rachel's Casa de Colored: greeting card with artwork Rising Soul Jewelry: jewelry cleaning/care package Sugar Sweetery: gingerbread cookie Super Mom Salsa: cowgirl candy Wick & Whispers - candle

    Amazing spot! We went for the Vdrive and wine event and ended up staying the whole weekend! Everything was top notch! Service, wine, food, entertainment, all of it was fantastic!

    It was my first time coming to this winery. I've never heard of it until I was invited to their All White Party event. The place is beautiful. I really love that the background from any where you sit is this beautiful lake view. I loved everything about the ambiance of this place. The Event: It was fun. The live band, music after the band, dancing, and sipping on wine. Although we had a great time there are some improvements that can be made. Recommendations: 1. It was super hot, they could have made the covered patio area a lot bigger because there was plenty of room. The event could be at a later time when it's a bit cooler. 2. The price: we basically paid for an entrance fee. It did not even include food or wine. We had to pay for food and drinks. They could have served us at least a glass of wine and small bites. 3. The food: it was food trucks which I did not expect. It was taco and BBQ. It was ok. 4. Parking: I wish I knew the parking situation. The parking is crazy. We had to walk far. Granted there was guys driving in golf carts (one passed us with no passengers and didn't stop for us). They didn't even have disabled parking spots available. 5. It was ok: the ladies at the entrance were nice. That's about the only service we got. The umbrella where we sat kept falling and workers were no where to be found. 6. Overall experience: Mediocre. Hope future events are better.

    Beautiful views

    The vibes were amazing, the dj played nice music everyone was dancing and having a good time! The views were beautiful. The wine was great loved the slushy! The lady with the blonde hair that works inside was so nice and helpful, my only complaint would be the lady who helped us was rude and had horrible customer service! I asked her about some of the wines and she knew nothing! I also heard from one of other attendees that she was rude to them. One persons bad vibes can ruin a whole experience! Besides that the place is very nice and fun! Cant wait to go back!

    Delicious taco from the food truck.

    This is a very nice quaint winery right outside of Sacramento. It was a very cold day when we attended, however we enjoyed the experience. The vendors were great! Their products were very nice. We especially enjoyed our wine sample as well as the live music! The yelp staff and fellow yelpers were great! The one suggestion that I think would have improved the experience for all those that attended is....it would have been great if hot apple cider or some sort of hot beverage was offered/sold due to the very cold weather. Outside of that all was good. I would definitely consider visiting again in warmer weather.

    Such a fun experience at Valensin Vineyard for the paddle boarding event. It was $20 for entry and you bring your own paddle board, they have rentals. It also included one glass of wine, with 3 to choose from. They have a swim up bar where you can buy other cocktails, we got the bucket of wine, their pomegranate was so good. Also got a blended margarita- it was just okay definitely would not get it again. They had ran out of mango. They have a ton of different events they put on at the winery that I will be attending this summer like their R&B night. The lake is 1 mile long so there is plenty of space, it has 2 islands with beautiful weeping willows. It was a pretty cool experience and would do it again, as I would love to do the glow paddle.

    I attended the Yelp Passport Event: Women Owned Business Pop Up at Valensin Vineyard, and was amazed with the beautiful surroundings with a lake on one side, and the spacious vineyard on the other. The setting was so relaxing and would be so welcoming for events, like weddings, birthdays and celebrations. We were able to visit so many different vendors owned by women, and so impressed with the artistic and charming crafts, whether it was jewelry, soaps, decorative pieces, desserts, spices, or food vendors. I took a few pictures of the business for you to see. They can all be contacted on the website for more information, and for purchase. @yelpsacramento @valensinvineyard

    Such an amazing winery! A very special shout-out to our host, Colleen, who went above and beyond to make our visit perfect. She helped me plan and organize an outing for myself and 14 others on a Friday afternoon, and everything went so smoothly thanks to her. From start to finish, Colleen was exceptional--she made sure our drinks were always replenished, checked in regularly, and created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that truly made us feel catered to. On top of the outstanding service, the winery offers incredible amenities you don't usually find elsewhere. Paddle boarding and pedal boat rentals added such a fun, unique twist to our experience and made it even more memorable. Combine that with the gorgeous vineyard views, and it's a day we'll never forget. The staff here are truly the best--friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure guests have a great time. This place is absolutely worth visiting, and I can't recommend it enough!

    A lovely Galentine's Event, a handful of vendors, a food truck, music, and of course wine. The space for the sip and paint was next to the wine area, we were provided a blank canvas, water cup, paint brushes, and paint. Our teacher was kind and patient, and even help tweak some changes to my painting, I love attending events at Valensin Vineyards. Check out their numerous events, you won't be disappointed,

    We had an excellent time at Hanford winery. It was a Yelp Elite event and we were lucky enough to…read morebe there during a time with vendors and Santa were there too! 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.

    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.
