We love this place and have been coming for years. It's easy to get to from the Bay Area, they have a beautiful picnic area, inside tables and group areas... so you can reserve a space for a "get-together". They have tasty great wine at a reasonable price... I know you are groaning if you have gone to Napa wineries and gotten sticker shock!! It's affordable here. ... and the wine is rich and flavorful with a great selection of varieties / vintages. The staff is great, all the family seems to have worked one job or another in the Wooden Valley winery... Mama would be proud. Cheers. read more

This place came highly recommended from another winery but I personally didn't care for the wines nor did we feel welcomed. The service was just ok. We didn't enjoys any of the wines we tried and the views aren't as great as we expected. Maybe they're more attentive to people who sit inside. I wouldn't recommend and I won't be returning. read more

Must try spot if you're in the area! Very affordable option for wine tasting, either $20 or $30 depending on the one you choose. Very knowledgeable staff and very attentive to your questions and making sure you don't wait too long between pours. The area is gorgeous and has ample seating. Parking can get a little tight. Otherwise it is a great place to go wine tasting and loved that we decided to do one of each so we could share and try all their wines. Highly recommend their Cabernet, Merlot & Exit Forty One! We didn't try their food options but it looked like a lot of folks were bringing picnic foods and snacks at the larger group tables, so that might be option but call just to be sure. Such a great hidden gem and very reasonably priced compared to other places in Napa Valley. read more

Wooden Valley Winery - Lots of outdoor seating with picnic tables - Wineries Near Me - Fairfield, California

Wooden Valley is the oldest winery in the Suisun Valley since 1933. The rustic winery is an amazing place to have wine tasting or just have a picnic outdoors. Not sure if there were cheese/crackers platter that goes along with the tasting, but there packaged delectables for you. Erica was our server and she was amazing! All the servers warmly welcome you in and tell you about the history of each wine along with possible pairings. Everyone left with a bottle! read more

This place came highly recommended from another winery we visited, but I can't say that I personally loved the wines. They were decent (for my palate anyway.) The place has great reviews so give it a shot and be the judge for yourself... because wine really is so subjective. Service was really friendly and helpful and the property is beautiful- I just didn't leave craving more in terms of the wines. I would be willing to give a second go and try the other flight- because who knows, maybe it was just me with the off day? read more

This spot is so affordable and a great family run business!The outdoor seating area is spacious and beautiful and welcomes both dogs and children. The staff is just as wonderful as the space. Everyone we encountered was so kind, patient, and accommodating, which made the experience even more enjoyable. They answered all our questions with a smile, offered great recommendations for wines. As for the wines, they're fantastic and so reasonably priced. We went for a tasting and ended up buying a couple of bottles to take home. Definitely recommend their Riesling,Miscela, and Rosetta. read more

I have been coming to Wooden Valley for years and love it every time! The aesthetic is so beautiful and I love all of the changes that have been made. The staff is so friendly and the wine is great. Love to stop by and grab a glass of wine and enjoy the views. Definitely stop by and visit, if you haven't already! read more

Decided to go to Fairfield as the wine was less expensive, including the tastings compared to Napa and Sonoma. The service was excellent, Rob was our server, very informative and friendly. The place is beautiful and would be great for a large party. $15 tasting is waived if you buy a bottle of wine and we bought three. read more

My husband and I recently visited Wooden Valley Winery and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. When we arrived, there were two larger tables available inside, but the manager refused to seat us because she said she preferred to hold them for a larger party. Instead, we were told we could pay $50 for a tasting and sit outside in the cold rain, or stand at the bar. The hostess was very kind and even asked if we would be willing to share a table if a larger group arrived -- which we happily agreed to. However, the manager would not allow her to offer that option, despite the hostess mentioning they had done this before. We felt unwelcome and poorly accommodated, so we politely declined and chose to go elsewhere. Based on this experience, I would caution couples about walking in, as seating appears very limited and accommodations may depend on who the manager decides to serve. read more

Place is lovely and wine is good we had a great time. But the older gentleman who served us was kind, pleasant, knowledgeable and so slow! We sat outside and it took him over three hours for wine tasting. We were not offered crackers or cheese I think I saw some inside but forgot about it. Of course we would have paid just an idea. Would have been nice to say hey you want some crackers with your wine? It was hot we waited so long between tasting finally one us said can we get the bill. His response was oh I thought you guys were having a nice time. No one wants to drink for hours with no food and slow service. But overall we will be back maybe he was new? read more

My wife was raised with her parents coming to this winery. We have been coming to this winery ourselves for 30 years. They have great wines. Back in the day, they would sell their wines in gallon jugs and you could get refills. My wife's dad was in the Air Force at Travis AFB and he would come out to the winery and fill up his trunk full of the jugs for his buddies. He would take them on flights to distribute the jugs to his friends all around the world. Mario Lanza was the man!!! read more

Great selection of wines. Usually we enjoy some of their reds and whites. There is an outdoor area to include picnic tables to enjoy the weather during the summer and they're very kid friendly. They don't typically serve food which is a downer but you're free to bring your own for a picnic outside. read more

Always so friendly and helpful when choosing the perfect wine. The venue is perfect for a weekend getaway!!! Love the reds!!!

Checked out Wooden Valley Winery & Vineyards, a family run winery for over 90 years. We dropped in on a slow Monday afternoon (2:15pm). Our pourer was friendly, welcoming and generous with the pours. Two tasting options: $20.00 USD or $30.00 USD for 6 pours. Fee is waived if you buy a bottle that's the same price. You can do the wine tasting inside or out. The outdoor area is relaxing and spacious with patio umbrellas covering the tables. - 2022 Sauvignon blanc - 2022 Chardonnay - 2021 Dry rosé - this was our favourite of the 6 wines that we tried. Bought a bottle ($22.00 USD) for home. - 2021 Sangiovese - a little dry and tannic. - 2021 Merlot - 2021 Malbec - this was the best of the reds. - N/V Miscela - they brought out an extra pour, similar to a fruit wine. We bought a bottle ($25.00 USD). Had a good time at Wooden Valley. read more

Decided to visit this winery based on a recommendation from a gentleman who works at Jelly Belly at the wine bar. He might even be their manager, but not 100% on that fact. Regardless, during my Jelly Belly tour, I stopped in at the wine bar and decided I didn't want to drink there but was ready to visit a local winery in Suisun Valley. He recommended Wooden Valley and even gave me a comped wine tasting voucher, so I immediately drove over to check it out. Once you enter the tasting room, you're welcomed by a beautiful bar and living room type of setting. I chose the Family Estate flight which was a combo of sparkling, whites and reds. Every one of the wines in the tasting was delicious. Thank you to Jelly Belly for the recommendation and to the staff at Wooden Valley for their hospitality and tasty wines. read more

You can't beat a local $20 wine tasting! My boyfriend and I came here since he always raved about their wines before. The weather is getting warmer so we were able to sit outside since it was a nice day. We were able to taste 7 wines, including a tasting of their champagne in the beginning. If you buy a bottle of wine it waives the tasting fee. I'm not sure if the $20 is per table or per person. We bought a bottle of Primitivo for $32 and got it waived, which is technically cheaper than paying for two tastings. Staff is attentive and very friendly here! We were able to get a second helping of the Rosetta which was nice. There's plenty of parking, but entering and exiting may be difficult due to the small bridge to access this location. read more

What a fantastic experience! I decided to make a midweek visit to Wooden Valley and it exceeded my expectations. Rose in the tasting room was welcoming and super sweet. She poured both whites and reds; the flight includes 6 wines. There is an indoor seating area with a relaxed vibe, as well as a spacious picnic area outside where you can bring your own food. I was so impressed by the service and the tasty wines, I decided to join. Suisun Valley tasting rooms have the same great tasting wines without the crowds. Cheers! read more

My boyfriend and I came to Suisun for tastings on his birthday. We both work in the wine industry in Napa and frequently branch out to other regions to broaden our palate and tasting skills. We had a tasting with Rose and she was AMAZING! She has a cheerful, and somehow calming, presence about her. She truly made our day. The wines were balanced and well made. The price was approachable and the atmosphere was lovely. We highly recommend! 10/10! read more

The wines taste nice and the price is great for wine tasting - $20 for standard and with a purchase of a wine bottle for equivalent price or higher, you can get the tasting waived. My friend and I wanted to sit outside, but it was rainy so we sat inside. My friend and I enjoyed the Riesling (white) and primitivo (red) and purchased those bottles, which waived our tastings. A drawback included many fruit flies buzzing around us as we were doing our tasting. The pours seemed smaller compared to other wine tastings I've experienced, which makes sense since the price is on the low side. I would come again during the sunshine as the outdoor area is beautiful. My friend and I had a cozy time during our wine tasting, sitting at the spacious wooden dining table. Our server, Ashley was informative and friendly. read more

This winery is amazing. Yesenia was the best hostess I've had in a long time. Not only was she very up-to-date on the wines, but she was a "hocus-pocus fan " Seriously the wines were amazing.

Came here for the first time a month ago, loved it so much that I became a member. It's a super cute winery with a local flare. The wine is very tasty. I love how they have a huge selection of wine and not just limited to the basics. The inside tasting area has a lounge vibe. The patio area is super cute for picnics and hanging out. The staff are all super nice and friendly. I haven't tried any of the events here yet but that is next read more

Surprised of this gorgeous spot tucked away in Fairfield! Arrived with a group of 9 for a wine tasting ($20 per person), our host was friendly. However I thought it was strange they couldn't move tables to put our two groups together. The outdoor space is beautiful, there's one side for the tastings which shockingly did not offer charcuterie boards nor allow food. The other side with picnic benches does allow food, which is on the opposite side of the lawn so I thought that was strange. The wines were good and we purchased two bottles so they waived our tasting fee. Overall a decent experience! read more

This was our first wine tasting experience, and unfortunately, it turned out to be a very disappointing one. We checked in and were told to have a seat. An older woman briefly acknowledged us, saying she'd be right with us--but instead, she focused on putting away wine glasses underneath the register. That seemed to take priority over helping us or any other guests. We waited patiently for over 30 minutes with no follow-up, and no service whatsoever. It became pretty clear that our presence wasn't valued, and honestly, it felt like they just didn't want us there. From the way things were handled, we got the message. So, we walked out. Sadly, it seems this kind of treatment is not uncommon here--others have experienced being ignored too. Definitely not the warm, welcoming introduction to wine tasting we were hoping for. read more

It was my first time here today and we were recommended this winery while visiting the Jelly Belly Factory. And it's also my big milestone birthday today. It was really busy when we arrived around 3pm; however we were greeted by Rose. She's amazing and was very personable. She showed us around and explained some of the history about the place. We wanted her as our hostess, but she said we couldn't due to her section already being full. She was so nice and sweet, I insisted on tipping her when we left. And she also reminded our hostess that it was my birthday. Our hostess was Yesenia. It was nice to talk to her about random cultural stuff lol. She was nice and friendly. I really appreciated the special birthday gift they gave me :) And we for sure, tipped her as well. Definitely ask for Rose or Yesenia if you ever visit this winery :) They definitely made me feel special and happy on my birthday as we spontaneously chose to drop in today. Thank you again ladies for your hard work and hostessing. read more

No food but great wine at reasonable tasting prices -- if you buy a bottle the tasting fee goes to that so what a great deal! And of course we did but a couple of bottles because it was delicious. Super friendly and nice staff who went above and beyond to make our experience a good one. My friends and I had a great time -- and the time passed too quickly. Will definitely be back again! Lovely location with both indoor and outdoor seating. We didn't have a reservation but they accommodated us quite well anyway. read more

You can save the shipping cost and go pick it up (an option) then you are greeted by the friendly knowledgeable staff ... and a wine tasting menu / glass of wine is included! great wine, beautiful drive, lovely setting!

Welcome to Suisun Valley wine! Did you know there is another valley just east of Napa valley that is cheaper and more convenient and looks very similar? I finally discovered it and Wooden Valley Winery on my last adventure. The tasting room and winery are tucked north of Fairfield in the wine country surprisingly close to 80 yet so far away. Parking is limited here and split into two lots along the canal. The winery feels like old Napa with a large wooden tasting room and patio overlooking the vineyards and mountains. On a rainy Saturday, the tasting room was full and loud, but they were able to get me as a walk in at the bar. I recommend reservations for groups for an easier experience. The bar was missing a rail making standing a little more difficult for a longer tasting. Staff poured a nice selection of whites and reds. The wine here is really good with a similar profile to Napa wines. Fortunately, the tasting and bottle fees are much more reasonable. I was impressed by the overall feel and taste of the winery. It is loud and a little uncomfortable standing, but it is reminiscent of the old Napa experience. If you are over Napa like me, seek out the other wine regions in Northern California for a better experience. I never knew about this region for over 20 years, but now I am much wiser. Wineries like Wooden Valley are a great reason to get off the interstate and seek out new opportunities! read more
