Always an amazing place to visit and socialize with our friends on a Friday afternoon after work
Unfortunately this winery left us disappointed. We had heard good reviews for the wines, but none were to our liking. We opted to try a spritzer, but that also fell flat. Literally, there was no effervescence to the drink, nor any ice which would have been perfect on such a hot day. The venue is modern and well appointed, quite impressive.
Such a great experience! Servers were very attentive and killer views. Highly recommend
The setting and views were beautiful, and the overall ambiance was promising—but unfortunately, the experience fell short. We ordered a $34 charcuterie plate and were surprised to receive a basket with a box of crackers, a mini bottle of fig jam, pre-packaged beef jerky, a chocolate bar, and a small pack of Brie, all served with tiny paper plates. It felt more like a snack basket than a thoughtfully curated charcuterie board. The on-site food truck had a very limited and uninspired menu. To add to the disappointment, when my husband ordered a wine flight, the server brought only two glasses and poured each new wine into the same glass, which affected the tasting experience. This place has so much potential—with such a scenic location, it could be a destination for excellent food, wine, and service. Sadly, it didn't live up to that potential on our visit.
Want to experience wine country, but closer to home? Go no further, Mia Marie is your spot! Great views, perfect patio and they even have live entertainment and some food offerings.
Beautiful setting, amazing wine and a great staff!! Can’t believe it took us this long to end up here, but I don’t think it’ll be long until we’re back!
Emily is the best!!!
Monique was such a gem, took her time with us and gave us such an amazing, welcoming first experience at Mia Marie. Her hospitality and service was incredible, suggestions were much appreciated and the VIEWS. Will be back again because of her!
We didn't eat this time, as they allow you to bring your own fare, but the kitchen was busy. They had mediterranean food that looked delicious. Always a great vibe there and all the staff are great with recommendations. We like to take our friends there when we get visitors and they are never disappointed. Food and entertainment are consistently great. We always recommend Mia Marie.
Great views and friendly service!
I totally forgot the name of the girl (blond, short hair) who took care of us, but she was truly the best. So witty and sweet. She was definitely the highlight of the experience. I whole-heartedly appreciate her for walking back and forth to our unorganized party of 8, who didn't all show up on time and ordered the wine tasting.
Didn't care much for the wine - didn't taste great. The pizza truck was the worst pizza I've ever had. Thank god some of us brought food.
Other than that, we had a great time!
They gained a forever fan! I celebrated my birthday here with my twin back in April, it was such a pleasant experience. Our server, Emily was amazing!! (Here I am leaving a review five months later, so that's how you know Emily and the vineyard made a wonderful impression!!) Stunning views, service that goes the extra mile, and most importantly, delicious wine!

Great wine, great views and great service
Excellent wine selection with beautiful views and a casual vibe! Jenna was so helpful and nice. Definitely worth the stop!
Stumbled upon a free tasting afternoon, live music and a great pizza option on site, highly recommend, and reservations preferred
It was such a great first experience for my girl friend and I! We went to celebrate my girlfriend's 23rd birthday and we were greeted with open arms and surprises ! I highly recommend anyone that enjoys wine or even just scenic views.
After a day at the Safari Park, we made a reservation at Mia Marie Winery, and the setting was absolutely stunning. Perched on top of a hill, the winery overlooks a gorgeous valley with mountain views, and they had live music, which added to the ambiance.
Our group of six did a wine tasting, which was reasonably priced at $25 for five tastings. It was nice that they offered non-alcoholic options for me since I’m pregnant, and they even served it in a wine glass, which made me feel like part of the experience.
That said, the service could have been better. The first glass was poured by the server. Instead of pouring the rest of the 4 glasses for us, they brought out 4 a single glasses with the other wines (to be shared between four people, and we had to pour our own wine). It felt a bit stressful to divide it evenly, and it would have been more enjoyable if the staff handled the pours—both to ensure accuracy and to keep the wine fresh instead of sitting and warming up. We would finish one and then go onto the next. It also lacked the usual experience of a tasting, where they pour one by one and explained each wine in the moment. We asked her if she could explain what we were drinking. She was really sweet after that and truly not that big of a deal but was just an odd thing.
It may have been because we were there at the end of the day. Despite that, the views were incredible, and the wine selection was solid, with most of the wines being quite nice. I would consider going back, but I’d really prefer if they adjusted their tasting process to be more guided and interactive rather than self-serve.
Overall, a beautiful location with great potential, but I hope they refine the experience a bit!
