Tastings are outdoors, with both open and covered seating areas that make it easy to relax and enjoy the view. The atmosphere is friendly and low-key -- you might even be greeted by the resident winery cat! The wines are delicious, and the tasting fee ($25 per person for non-members) is waived with a two-bottle purchase. This is the perfect spot if you want to experience excellent wines without the steep tasting fees you find elsewhere in the area. Highly recommend!

Being a wine luver , I HAD TO stop by and check it out aka I dragged my BF by the ear basically. None of the less , guess who ended up loving this place more than me. Oh if you haven't guessed.... my boyfriend. lol. Anyways back to the plot of this review. We were welcomed by Homer. A happy retired man with lots of knowledge on wine and also the area. I've attached some pics I took of some maps and pages of books that Homer shared with us. We actually came the first time and got schooled on wine for 15 min. Bought a bottle. Went back to our hotel room and got a pretty good buzz. Boyfrand said "let's go get another bottle and see Homer my guy". Went back an hour before closing, and ended up staying the rest of the time there talking to good ol' homer. We had lots in common! What a small world. I'll finish this book of a review with a huge thumbs up. Thanks yall for listening to my Ted talk.

We were also fortunate enough to get some nice sunny weather on our visit. The outdoor seating was perfect for the weather. It did get a little windy later in the afternoon so I suggest you bring a jacket just in case if it gets chilly. On top of the scenery the service was great as well. The host greeted us and sat us right away. We ordered the wine flight since this is our first time at this vineyard we wanted to try everything. The wine connoisseur was really friendly, did a great job explaining each wine and timed out each pour perfectly. My personal favorite was the Chardonnay. Next time we're visiting the area we'll certainly be back for another wine tasting.

Given the limited seating, I found it to be kind of misleading but my fault for assuming. We ended up ordering a bottle to share as we decided that we weren't going to stay for too long. The rose was good but hard for me to judge as I am not too expert with wine tasting. We got a cheeseboard which was $55 and decent? Service was also okay overall. Given their pricing being higher than other vineyards and it being on the smaller side, I would not personally return but loved the experience nonetheless. Great views and did like the atmosphere but would try other spots in area as there are so many.
