My first time here last Thursday as guests of close friends of ours. Wonderful wine tasting with too many whites and reds to choose from. Very friendly and attentive service. Had lunch as well there and food was really good. There were 4 of us buying wine both reds and whites. Somehow our order got a bit mixed up and we accidentally got a case of red in place of white wine. I called office today and they went above and beyond to get that case of wine delivered to our home asap. Cannot beat that for service anywhere. Highly recommend making a trip for anyone who hasn't been there before. Beautiful grounds and wine tasting room. We're now big fans! read more

Our experience could have been so wonderful... but with that said I can only hope improvement. I hadn't been here for several months and being a wine club member for many years I needed to pickup my selection. I was met with the most grumpy host ... no smiles no greetings and definitely no charm. I know Erika deserves so much better. Wish I knew her name... "she's been there forever ". I'm a consultant by trade and absolutely would love to return much more often. The good was the "new" help wine servers were Charming :) read more

Stopped for the food cuz hungry. Saw the sign from the road. The Bistro's selections are sandwiches, salads, pizzas and deserts. We ordered two sandwiches, the tri tip bbq was very tender and flavorful. While the bbq had a sweet tangy flavor on a brioche roll. I had their pastrami and cheese not sure what kind of cheese. This is what is pictured. One negative for me is it had mayonnaise which I am not a fan of. Otherwise very lean meat and the fries!! So yummy! No catsup need. Even crispy when cooled down. The tasting room is nicely decorated. While most people tried a few wines they then bought a bottle, which Tracy put in a bucket of ice along with glasses which they then took back outside. They have lots of seating with a covered patio along with other tables with umbrellas for a more intimate experience. Arranged around a few man made ponds they were in the process of cleaning up the reeds. So I didn't see and running water features. But from the patio you could see the hills with some of the vineyards. Our wine tastings, served by Tracy who was very knowledgeable about what she is serving along with answering our questions she also provided us with a map of the wine area along with suggestions for our next stops. We did ask for specific varietals we like to enjoy. My husband and I tried the reds. 6 different ones for each of us so in all we tried twelve and bought three. Overall nice wines, good price point. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Villa Toscana Winery! The wines were excellent, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the entire visit was relaxing and enjoyable. A special thank you to Maria, who was absolutely fantastic. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made our tasting experience so much fun. We also want to thank Nick for being so kind, accommodating, and welcoming. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The exceptional hospitality from both Maria and Nick made our visit truly memorable. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend Villa Toscana Winery to anyone looking for great wine and outstanding customer service! read more

The wines were aromatic with lots of options, and for the red tasting you can pick 6 wines out of 14‼ My favorite was the Old Vine Zinfandel, and if you like Cabernet, I definitely recommend the Barbera. :) The food was amazing too! The French fries were honestly some of the best I've ever had. I also loved the relaxed Napa style vibe (you get that Napa feeling at half the price), and the dog friendly patio was perfect! (FYI: If you're sitting on the patio, you'll need to pop inside to the counter for your next tasting.) read more

Great wines, beautiful property, and the perk of a bistro onsite too. We tasted six wines--a mix of red, white, and sweet. All were good but I had some clear favorites. My dad is a member so tastings were complimentary; also comp'ed if you purchase a bottle. Loved the red barbera and reserve port (which was not as sweet as the house port). We sat at a lovely spot near the water and didn't have to wait long for our pizza and French dip. So nice to have food available right there. Now I know why this is my dad's fav (and he knows wine well) plus worth the hour+ drive from Lincoln to Plymouth. read more

Great winery to visit and enjoy a nice area to have lunch and just enjoy the outdoors. Great selection of wine and cute landscape for some great photos. They have a merc store with some really cute purses and reasonable prices! read more

Very beautiful winery with a large selection of wines to taste. They also have 6 white wines you can taste as well. The fact they have a bistro onsite that offers french fries just makes it my favorite winery! Most wineries only have nuts, cheeses, fruits etc but the bistro has pizzas, tri tip sandwiches, onion rings and etc. The outdoor area is amazing. Although you have to go inside each time to get your tasting being able to sit outside with the pond next to you is amazing read more

Beautiful location, but don't go after 4pm. Gentleman made it a big deal that we only had 40 minutes left, making us a feel rushed and unwanted. I came from across the country to enjoy my time in wine country, and his attitude certainly put a damper on things. If you don't want customers so late, maybe don't be open so late? We were out well before close. Anyways Cheniyah (not sure how she spells) was wonderful and hospitable, and the only reason we stayed! read more

Tracy is so kind and so sweet. We just love Her. The food wow is epic. I'm Gluten and dairy free so the hamburger is amazing esp with the garlic mayo. A must have. My husband loves the buffet which is delicious. He's Italian so it right up his alley. Best winery ever. We love the miners blend read more

Came here with friends for the free pasta Sunday lunch. We ordered a bottle of delicious wine and then enjoyed the pasta, salad and focaccia bread buffet. After lunch we enjoyed generous pours by Dan in the tasting room. Our friends were club members and said the membership required 4 bottles purchased 3 times a year. If you enjoy wine and pasta you should definitely pay Villa Toscana a visit read more

A perfectly delightful assemblage of buildings, gardens, and outdoor spaces... it was unfortunate that the temperature was 109 degrees, too. We have a bottle of their wine that we got as a gift and haven't tried yet, but then comes with high accolades. Primarily, we came for an afternoon 'snack'. Due to the weather, very few people were here. There's a separate building from the wine tasting room for a small deli type cafe, without any indoor seating. There's a large outdoor tent for dining and events, and we waited there for a grilled chicken sandwich wne a salad. Staff was friendly and gave us napkins and utensils to take the meal off site to our hotel, where we could eat at a decent temperature. We'll go back when the weather is better and explore the other parts of this place, including a wine tasting. read more

Villa Toscano Winery - Wine tasting. Family friendly - Wineries Near Me - Plymouth, California

I love Villa Tuscano. E have been members for years. We love their wines, bistro, and their member free pasta lunch on Fridays and Sundays Dan is great, very friendly and helpful. We love the ambiance there, as they have outdoor seating, a big tent outside for those cloudy days. They are always friendly. We love meeting friends at Villa Tuscano as we can bring guests on the pasta lunch and tastings. Up to 4 to total on our membership. They have cute gifts, sauces, mustards, vinegars inside that can be purchased as gifts or just to take home. One of our favorite wineries!! read more

Ordered pizza and a lemon and berry mascarpone cake and drank two glasses of wine (Bella Rosa & Viognier) It was all delicious, clearly home made and the wine was *chef's kiss*. Beautiful setting, can't beat the views. read more

Incredibly rude service at the food desk. The woman serving was unbelievably rude, and mocked me when I asked for the restroom and said "she should know" because my sister mentioned she was a wine club member. I couldn't believe the lack of service, plus, the wine is mediocre at best. Save your time and go to Bella Grace or Rombauer. My sister is also canceling her wine club membership after the appalling treatment we had today. read more

Don't show up after 4pm. Went in for our wine pick-up and looking to grab a few other cases. Left with only our pick-up as there was zero interest in helping with other options. read more

Walk up order which is fine. We ordered fish and chips x 2. The young lady that took our order was not friendly at all, but not mean. Just not well versed in customer service one on one. We take our number, find a seat. Got a bottle of wine to share. The tasting room service and the wine we got were both excellent. However, our food came out, a plate with fish, fries, and coleslaw. No silverware. I asked the person who brought our food out if we could get silverware, which coincidentally was the same person that took our order. She said sure and left. She never came back. My husband had to go back to where we ordered and ask for silverware and she looked at him like she'd never seen him before. The coleslaw was decent. The fries were decent, came with little packets of ketchup (super tacky) The fish was way undercooked, the batter on the outside look crispy, but it was still gooey next to the fish. It came with little packets of malt vinegar. Our dog was with us, and she even turned her nose up to the fish. The ambience is beautiful, the tasting room is beautiful and the wines are decent. But definitely skip the food. read more

Awesome customer service with Dan "The Man" and Nick. Thank you so much for making me feel at home. My new go to wine tasting Vineyard. The best customer service. read more

Today they ran out of food at 1:30pm for the members. Had over 30 people waiting for food. The guy whom runs the counter ran out of wine glasses and clearly there is an issue. When we drive over one hour to come here. This is disappointing they should plan better as today is Sunday and it's a nice day. read more

Visited with friends. Four are members. When you are a member, you can partake in the pasta & salad buffet Fri. And Sun. You can bring 3 friends. We had a group of 12. The pasta buffet was good, and we bought desserts to share. There is also heartier food you can purchase. The drive up is scenic, and the grounds are even more so. Very serene with an Italian villa vibe. We got there at 11 am. By noon, the parking was filling up. I bought 2 bottles of red for hubby; miners blend 2020, Montepulciano 2019. I was not allowed to use a friend discount, but they signed me up for a member for a day. Saved me about 40%. Hubby said wine was good. Will be back. Staff was very friendly. Don't forget to tip generously. read more

Food is great here summer wines hit the spot. They did not like when I tried to take pictures for some reason. Then asked if I could take professional pictures here and they said no. There's plenty of wineries in the area far more welcoming. read more

Had a great tasting experience this morning in the tasting room with Dan. Very nice, cool room and people to sample wine. We followed up our tasting with a nice pizza (and more wine!) from the Bistro in the covered table area outside. I'd recommend visiting Dan and others at Villa Toscano for a great wine tasting experience. read more

Positively dreamy!! So very relaxing and gorgeous!! Food was amazing and the service was wonderful! To the gentleman inside pouring the wine, way to market, way to upsell!!

Had not planned to stop at this beautiful winery but saw they served food. Had a delicious grilled veggie sandwich. Wine tasting with Dan was exceptional! The wine was great, Dan was even better! He was engaging and informative. I hope he gets a raise and hope we see him again!!! read more

The setting is gorgeous, sat in the shade. Had a delicious pizza for two with enough for leftovers. Will definitely go again!

It's been 3 months since my last review and the Bistro hasn't improved much. This time I only had to wait 23 min for my slice of cake vs 40 min the last time I was here. Again, an "Italian Bistro" that has desserts and does not sell espresso??!! The wait for food is extremely long, the kitchen is slow, and their systems are poor. read more

Villa Toscano Winery - Lemon Berry cake - Wineries Near Me - Plymouth, California

Food: Ordered Gourmet Burger but...ate it too fast and didn't get a picture. It was delicious! Remembering to enjoy life first! It came with fries, which I also ate without taking a picture. :-) Here we go friends, the review: Location is easy to find. Off of Shenandoah Road in a well-traveled section of Amador county. Drive is beautiful no matter the direction you come from, enjoy the wild flowers in the Spring, the rolling golden hills in the Fall and the shade the trees provide in the Summer heat. Parking is easy. Seating area is nestled between ponds with fountains that keep the bugs at bay. From the parking area, tasting room is to the left, bistro is to the right. They appropriately played Josh Groban while we were seated. Tasting was $20 but was discounted if a bottle was purchased. We tasted 6 wines, with many reds to choose from, a few whites, roses and ports. Bought a bottle of the enjoyable Cabernet Sauvignon to pair with our burger and fries. read more

Visited this winery while looking for wineries that were open this week between Christmas and New Years and so glad we did. We love wines on the sweeter side and maybe that's not everyone's palette but it worked great for us. The lady who helped us was very welcoming, very caring, and understanding and made us feel good. She went out of her way to help us with wines we would like and took the extra steps to get us the wines we liked the most. She was informative and friendly and because she went out of her way, we became wine club members. The wine itself was wine we were looking for and they had great wines at fantastic prices. What we enjoyed here as well is that there is small restaurant on site which you can enjoy your wine with and this is something we were looking for within a good proximity of EDH. I currently have a few wine club memberships mostly in Napa area, but now finding this gem, I canceled one over there and got this one which makes more sense form a distance perspective and a good wine selection we will enjoy. read more

Wow this place was amazing. The white wine we ordered was 10/10 and the pizza we ordered also 10/10. The scenery also was 10/10. After arriving in the tasting room we were able to taste a couple of wines before deciding which bottle we wanted to purchase for our table so this service was nice and extremely helpful for us to buy something we enjoyed. Some tables needed cleaning as we walked outside but we managed to find one that we just put the dirty plates on another dirty table. read more

This is a must stop in Plymouth CA! Known for their red Zins (6 on the menu today!) but also has delicious other reds and whites. What a little gem and a sister winery to Bella Piazza! Great perks (double perks!) of being a wine club member too! Every Friday and Sunday they have free pasta buffets for members. If you choose to become a member, your tasting is free. If you don't wanna pull the trigger on the membership tastings are only $15 for 6 tastings! So affordable and if you want to buy a bottle they'll let you try anything else you'd like! The cafe has an amazing special $29 for a large wood fire pizza (can even do half and half for toppings!) and a bottle of red Zinfandel or Pinot Grigio (my choice! So refreshing!) Don't miss out! read more

Loved the wine tasting, but the experience was ruined by the poor food service and soggy salads that took 45 minutes to serve.

One of our most favorite wineries wish we lived closer, but with wine club coming every couple of months, we can enjoy their wines in our home. Miss going for the fish and chips, but will be back soon. Thank you, Greil's!! read more

food service is incredibly rude, specifically the woman with pink died hair. We ordered a side and fries, which was properly reflected on our receipt. upon receiving our food she said "we don't hand out free food you have to pay to eat here." We showed her our receipt and replies "your fries charge has a 0 charge therefore you did not pay and we are not giving you your fries." It is not our fault that the service here does not know how to properly ring up food. Instead of refusing to provide a product that we wanted, she should have remedied the situation in a respectful manner. Recommend firing her. P.S. the wine is vile. We left more than half a bottle and a whole pizza behind because it was THAT bad. Best to stay with proven products such as Helwig or Rombauer read more

I recently made a visit to Tuscano winery because a friend of mine said the wine was fantastic and their Chef, Chef Sam was a fantastic cook. Well, I will say that they were completely right. The food was so good and chef Sam dis a phenomenal job. What a treat that was. Keep up the great work!! as far as the wine is concerned, I can still taste the wonderful flavors that I got from the wines and they're Awesome wine pourer, Dan. The only complaint I have for such an elegant place with a beautiful atmosphere, they had an employee from the bistro that walked around with a hat on a cell phone in hand, and an AirPod in one ear and his pants sagging as well. This is not my ideal idea of Professionalism. Fix that in this place has it all thank you Toscano for the wonderful experience. read more

We have been members (Red Club) for years at Villa Toscano Winery and love it. The Friday and Sunday free lunches are always a nice bonus for a day of tasting. We can't say enough about Dan in the tasting room. He is by far the best wine server I have stumbled across over the years. He is freindly, knowledgeable, and very attentive to his customers needs. Do yourself a favor and check this beautiful place out. This Italian themed winery is a must stop. Just make sure if you get their tasty pizza, don't get it as a "take and bake". read more
