The place was cute. There is a large outdoor or indoor experience. There seemed to be a lot of locals/regulars there. I really enjoyed the Cabernet. They also had a wine slushie which seemed pretty popular. read more

December 6, 2025 - Fresno, CA "We stopped here as part of the Harvest Host program for RVers and was pleasantly surprised to find they were hosting a special event--a Christmas Market. There were several vendors offering a variety of items, plus wood-fired pizza, which smelled amazing. Even though there were quite a few people, we were able to grab a table in the rustic barn tasting area. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and had a warm, festive atmosphere. We also had the pleasure of chatting with the owner, John, who was incredibly welcoming. We enjoyed a tasting of their wines, and bought a bottle of their delicious cabernet. Overall, a wonderful stop and a great experience." read more

Stopped in on a Friday night with a few friends. They had live music on this particular evening. They aren't usually open on Fridays, fyi. The winery is a beautiful open space with outdoor seating as well as some space inside. Wine prices are reasonable. We opted for the Orange Muscat as well as their sparkling wine. The gentleman who helped us recommended to mix the two. It was a great combo. Pizzas are available for sale as well. They're a little larger than a personal pizza, but I was able to finish it solo :) They have a dole whip type soft serve that pairs with their sparkling wine that's amazing. Definitely worth a try. read more

Ziveli Winery, Fresno, CA - December 6, 2025 We showed up at about 2 PM on a Saturday afternoon during the winery's Christmas celebration. There were lots of arts and crafts vendors there, and the parking lot was packed. Recognizing we might not have a spot to park, we parked out on the street to begin with. We walked in and saw the lovely vineyard grounds. There's a nice open patio area with nice lighting. They have a pizza kitchen and people were out front selling pies. It was very festive. We walked into the tasting room which was jam-packed. We told one of the wine pourers that we were with the Harvest Host. He directed us to be on the lookout for winery owner John, who was making the rounds greeting his guests. We got a couple flights of wine and sat down. Not long after, we spotted John behind the counter and went over to say hi to him. He is a super friendly and gracious host. He realized that the parking lot was pretty packed when we were there and told us that it would be clearing out a little later in the afternoon, so we did some wine tasting and chatted with John for about 15 or 20 minutes. We shared with John that we would be going to Croatia next May. He was super helpful in taking a look at our itinerary and giving us some feedback about things to be checking out while we're there. At about 4 PM, the parking lot cleared out and we pulled in our motorhome. It was a nice level spot looking out over the Vineyard. We had a very restful night's sleep. We definitely hope to come back again! read more

Ziveli Winery - Flight mainly white wines. - Wineries Near Me - Fresno, California

On May 5, 2024, recently attended with a group at the Ziveli Winery in Fresno. Recently new to the Central Valley area and first time at the Winery. Lack of parking available and there are dogs on the premises that walkaround inside and outside the Winery grounds. There is only food provided outside and in a food stand outside the Winery in which the prices are excessive for personal size pizzas. The staff was polite at times. The bathrooms could use some improvements as well. However, the outside grounds are breathtaking and good for a small group or an event. The drive was okay there was no traffic that time of day. The roads were in bad shape and requires some road improvements. As a military veteran and Central Valley resident I recommend the Winery grounds for your future event needs. read more

My second trip and disappointment once again trying to get a slushy. Arrived after an hour drive for a wine slushy. They didn't have them ready once again and said wait 30 minutes. We waited 45 minutes the winery was hot as hell. Was 102 degrees outside so not sure why they wouldn't have their most refreshing beverage ready. We usually order 4 to 6 of these. After a miserable 45 minutes in the heat we gave up and left as there was no signs of ice in the slushy machine. We were the only ones there with the heat can't imaging anyone would find it enjoyable. If it's summer I would pass for a location that has the proper AC to deal with the heat. It's a cute spot that we have enjoyed multiple times but probably won't return. It's just too far of a drive for repeat disappointment in my opinion. read more

Love Ziveli. This cute little winery has everything you need to have a good night or day out. We have come here several times in groups and have always been greeted by the winery but also their cute dogs (makes our experience better). Their wine tasting is great and they also offer a flight which I would highly recommend. You can also take your own food (which we have also done). Highly recommend and if their pizza place is open don't miss out. Their page doesn't say they are open during the week but we made an actual appt and they were able to accommodate us Thank you Ziveli! read more

Definitely one of the better wineries in Madera! Cute, rustic vibe with a lot of space. Indoor and outdoor seating areas. Comfy couches inside and many picnic tables outside. Wine wasn't bad, also wasn't the best. The tasting is perfect, you get to choose 6 wines from their wine list for $10. They also have a wine slush option fir $10. I did both. Love the brick pizza addition outside. They come out quickly and baked to perfection. I would definitely recommend. Love the cute dogs on the property. They're so sweet and friendly. All around cute place! read more

Amazing service, quaint ambience, pizza was great and the wine was too. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Cute dogs add to the atmosphere!

LOVE this winery. They have a gorgeous venue with a barn style inside wine bar that has romantic lighting strung and plenty of seating out of the sun. Outside they have bench style seats with tables to enjoy in the sun or under the shade of their beautiful trees. There's also a few corn hole games set up for some fun! Not to mention their onsite Brick L'Oven is some of the best pizza in the valley and pairs soooo well with their scrumptious wine. Perfect for wine tasting with friends or if you're looking for a wedding venue for your special day. read more

Ziveli Winery - Zinfandel during one of their trivia nights - Wineries Near Me - Fresno, California

The staff's friendliness here made up for what was otherwise an average experience. My wife and I started with a tasting but switched over to the flight after doing the math, and the front desk staff were kind enough to let us continue without charging another full price. Of note, the owner also made a point to work the room, introducing himself and making recommendations based upon people's tastes. He emphatically recommended their 2017 Cabernet, which most of our group agreed was the best wine of the day. We also had the Riesling and Chardonnay as part of our tasting and the Pinot Noir and to finish our flight. Those who are fond of sweeter wines would enjoy the productions here, but if you are a fan of milder or oak-ish wines then you may not enjoy these. Other than the wines, the grounds are pretty nice. The outdoor space is roomy while being homely, and there's a patch of grass to be used for games. The only downside to our experience was the pizza service, which took over an hour to prepare our orders. The kitchen staff seemed rather stressed, and other reviews here suggest a less delayed experience for others, so maybe we just visited on a rough day. Had the pizza/food been a main reason for our visiting I probably would not rate as highly, but the wines were the draw for us. Will be interested to see how these bottles progress over the next few years. read more

My friends had been here before and raved about their brick oven pizza so we ordered a cheese pizza and Hawaiian style (cant remember the exact name). We ended up ordering a third of the Hawaiian since it was SO good! The cabernet was not my favorite but to each their own. I would definitely come back for the pizza and atmosphere! The grounds are beautiful and would great for hosting a small event. read more

Drive West on Shaw and turn right onto Biola Avenue. A wonderful experience awaits you. For ten dollars you can sample 5 wines. Each month those wines change. Bottles of wine range between 29 to 40 dollars. Great selection available. For ten dollars you can choose a great cigar to smoke outside; Cohibas, Diesel, Rocky Patel, Isla del Sol, the list goes on and on. Try one of their wine infused cigars for a new smoking experience. They also can host weddings and other events. Corn Hole is available each day as well. Large television inside to watch the games and a beautiful outdoor seating area. Many events occur such as Line Dancing, Dinner Murder Mysteries, Trivia Night and Chocolates and Cigar Night. If you have been to Ziveli yet, go this week. John Nale and Rhondi Nale, the owners are often in the tasting room pouring and interacting with guests. For a non-pretentious wine tasting experience this is the one for you! read more

Ziveli Winery - Margherita Pizza - Wineries Near Me - Fresno, California

We visited once before COVID-19 and we're looking for a wedding venue. Had an amazing experience that we went back for the Wine & Chocolate weekend. Arrived and waited in line for tickets, even though we had wristbands. Then waited again in another line for tastings. Our group got to the tasting counter and the were told we needed to buy glasses for $9 each, something the ladies at the front didn't say. Went back to wait in line again to buy a glass, and then again for tastings. After not having a great experience with that on a service level, we encountered a 40th birthday group. A few members were heavily intoxicated and were getting pours. A few of the women then came up to our group and got loud and way too in our face. Nobody did anything. They eventually stumbled out after causing a louder commotion taking pictures. read more

Came here yesterday for the first time! Pizza, wine tasting, wine slushy, and scenery were great! Once we got there, we parked in the back and walked in towards the outside seating. There's a lot of shade and beautiful tree's around. We got the chef special pizza and a pepperoni pizza. Both came out quick & delicious! My husband and his friend did the wine tasting and loved it. Staff was friendly expect for the staff who we over heard say something negative about us due to asking for spoons. Overall, I would recommend this place for a nice date night, or low key event! read more

Beautiful location with a great selection of wine. I tried the rivers trio which was sweet and delicious. Definitely recommend it. I'm not a huge wine lover but I could drink that one with every meal. I also tried the white Zinfandel which was pretty good considering the fact that I'm not a huge wine lover to begin with. I loved the atmosphere of the location and the staff was very pleasant. It was gorgeous inside with plenty of seating. It has a very romantic feel and great for a relaxing date night. read more

I really enjoyed this place. Its definitely very cute, very homey, and the wines have such a unique taste. Id recommend this for a little date trip for someone to take a beautiful drive out and to enjoy a glass of wine. But first off: this place is about 7 miles east off 99 and shaw. It takes you through beautiful vineyards and the drive is spectacular. However, this place is kind of hard to get to if you dont know where you are going. It is kind of hidden when you turn off the main road of shaw and all. But its a hidden gem. The winery itself. I liked it. Its like a small little barn that is very tastefully decorated and reminds me of a rustic barn. It would be a great venue to host a wedding or something. But it just has that little magical feeling when you walk through it. When wine bar is pretty nice, a little small, but from being open for 3 years, its expected, and Im sure that it will only grow out from here on out. So the wines, I felt that they have a good wine selection. I tried the three rivers and it was good. Its dry and refreshing. I enjoyed the Syrah. To me, it felt that it had lots of body to it, and it was very savory. The wines are all very fragrant and it really has a good taste on your pallet. I am in no way shape or form a wine snob at all, but I can tell there is some thought and elegance to this wine from this winery. Kudos to this winery and I know I will stopping by this winery again. read more

My friend and I traveled to Fresno on Friday for a concert. Needing to leave early from Gilroy to avert traffic, we thought we would find a place to wine taste in Fresno. Now, Fresno is not a wine destination. We had issues finding a winery open during the week. We had already identified Ziveli but they were open by appointment only. Throwing caution to the wind and no one answering the phone, we took a chance and drove there. Upon arrival we met, Hunter, son of the owner. He said they were decorating for a wedding but called his father to see if they could accomodate us. Bingo: John, the owner agreed. We had a blast! John was super hosptitable, honest, funny and a great host. His son, Hunter, age 22, was helpful and very informative. They have a quaint tasting rooom and serve home made pizza on the week-end. (We purchased their Cab, 2019 and 2021...great value!) Oh, and they have some newer wines for release that sound very interesting. Guys: thank you so much for hosting us!! Last, if you pop by, give our best to the family dog Grigio!!! Great name!! read more

Živeli winery is by far my favorite winery. Ronda and John are super friendly and welcomed us all. John was very helpful in answering our questions that we had about the process of wine. There are multiple games you can play, plenty of space to sit down and chat. We did the wine tasting, I'm so glad I did. I left with my mind being mind blown by the reds. Not your Typical super dry reds. You must come out and try their wines, especially their river joy. You can tell they put a lot of work and passion in making their wines. read more

Third year attending the January Winter Wine Celebration, and extremely disappointed. Wine is still excellent, food went way downhill!! Had to wait almost 50 minutes for a little pizza that was dry and ok. Previous years offered wonderful dinner plates of Mexican food which paired well with the wine.
