Wineries near Fairfield

“Remember when you could visit Napa or Sonoma without reservations, pay $15, and have the actual winemaker pour you a tasting? That experience is nearing extinction in those areas but lives on at the Suisun Valley Wine Co-op.Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon with friends and family with no reservation and were immediately helped out by the staff. The outdoor seating area was charming and decorated for the Halloween season. There is also indoor seating for those who prefer air conditioning on a hot day. Fah, the winemaker for Sunset Cellars, one of the three "microwineries" that share the tasting room, personally poured our wine and gave us in-depth insight into the varietals, the qualities of Suisun Valley wine, and the process of winemaking. It was harvest season so we even got to sample wine grapes right off the vine. The staff here exude a laid back but enthusiastic energy, it truly stands out among the generic tastings I've done at other places where you feel like people are just going through the motions, reading some tasting notes and moving onto the next customer. Highly recommend visiting for the friendly staff and the wine which is great value, whose quality was comparable to many of the $40 tastings I have done elsewhere.“

“Open only a half day a week and we happened to drop in at the right time. I think this site says reservations only but that is not the case. I think they base it on the weather, but seems they are open Saturdays from about 1130 on. Super cute barn with great beam structure, lighting and ambiance. After walking thru to the far side of the bar, you can sit inside or head out to the vineyard and outdoor seating where they will serve you wine tasters as you finish the last. They had 4 they were tasting this day and I liked the Pinot Noir the best. Don't forget to enjoy the views from the vineyard while you are there. And make sure to chat with the owners who started the vineyard some 20 years ago as their retirement adventure. They are very sweet.“

“I've been to Mankas many times but have never stopped in at Vezer for a wine tasting. Since I had time, I decided to pop in and do a tasting. Jace was absolutely amazing, super informative and went above and beyond. He truly needs a raise. He showed us around the property and showed us the private room for the club members who spend over a certain threshold annually. The room locked some of their personal wjnes in a control temperature room. It was beautiful. The wines, were more on the pricey side but they were delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the Chardonnay, but that's typical for me. The Zin was the highlight for me. The parking isn't abundant and if there's an event going on at one of the neighboring establishments, be prepared to walk. Overall beautiful place and will certainly venture back in.“
