Matt was kind and knowledgeable. No-frills wine tasting of some great wines, followed by a picnic with a beautiful view. Come pay a visit!

Kid Friendly (I have a 16 month old). There was Connect Four and a Big Jenga. Lots of grass areas where you can keep your children separate from those wishing to just enjoy their wine and the view. There are quite some big hillside drops so obviously just keep an eye on your kiddos, like you should be anyways. The gentleman pouring our tastings (Matt?) was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. The Chardonnay and Cab Franc was my fav. Such a beautiful view high on the hill side WOW.

Great wine and very interesting wine pourer guy! Love this winery! Went with friends of ours and enjoyed ourselves. The weather didn't cooperate very well but we'll go back when it's warmer.

Great wine made by great people. I like both their downtown Grass Valley tasting room as well as their stunningly beautiful estate. A definite asset to our community.

Really cute winery way up on the hillside near Grass Valley. My partner surprised me with a stop here on our last mini-vacay to Nevada City. A reservation was made in advance. The roads are slightly windy and mostly uphill to get here, if you get car sick you may want to take some dramamine beforehand. There is also a tasting room in downtown Grass Valley. There is a small tasting room and office across from the production area in the cul-de-sac entry. Linda was there to greet us upon arrival and gave us a background on each of the wines we tasted. We purchased a glass to enjoy in their beautiful picnic area and brought a lovely meal with us. We also had our two dogs with us, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves on the winery property (on-leash only, of course). The views from the picnic area are breathtaking! It was crystal clear on the day we visited, you can see all the way to Tahoe. Lots of tables to choose from on a large wooden platform surrounded by trees and vines, it was very peaceful and romantic. We enjoyed all of the wines we tried and bought a bottle of Cab Franc to take home. The sparkling Rosé was also really delicious and refreshing. Details -Open: Noon - 5 pm daily -$10 tasting fee/person -Make a reservation -Tasting fee reimbursed with bottle purchase -Dog friendly -Intimate and unique

Such an amazing place! It's off the beaten path but we'll worth it.

Great location with a nice area to eat a picnic and hang out. The wine is good with interesting notes. The people there are very friendly. Good spot for kids even since they have a grassy area with some games.

Lucchesi Winery is worth the drive on a narrow road. The winery is beautiful; the view is amazing; and the wine is delicious and unique. Everyone is so friendly. We sat in the shade overlooking the amazing view and enjoyed a glass of wine. It was so relaxing and cool under the trees. Highly recommended!
What a great place and friendly people! A lot of nice signs to guide us to the tucked away vineyard.

I highly recommend this exceptional five-star wedding venue. The enchanting and unique experience felt like a beautiful garden party, complete with stunning views, great wine, and happy guests. Linda, the property owner, was fabulous and accommodating, making the planning process easy and enjoyable. Overall, a special and wonderful day thanks to the outstanding efforts of Linda and her team.

Shopping for another wine club...Love supporting the locals.Quality/Quantity - What a great find. I am a red drinker, you would know if you are following.I liked all three of their available reds; all of which had a fruity sweet flavor.Even the port was light and sweet; it did not have a strong alcohol taste.Atmosphere - Beautiful views!! And you can see as far as Tahoe.13.5 miles off of 80, and you have to drive through some "back roads;" not an easy place to find. Good thing for 4-wheel drive and GPS.One of the few wineries in this area that is open 7 days a week from noon to 5pm; Thank you!Plenty of parking.You can also bring your own picnic baskets. :)It is so nice that you also host weddings here - 8 just last year!Service - Linda Clough (founder) is amazing.As we did not know our schedule today, we did not make an appointment, but I wanted to drive and check out the winery anyway. They let us in with no problems. :)The friendly employee greeted us as we entered the gate and called Linda to meet us at the tasting room. What service!Linda gave us a tasting, then suggested we get a glass while touring the vineyard. Then we relaxed on the patio overlooking the vineyards towards Lake Tahoe.What a great place to take a break from our road trips.We talked about our kids and that they both lived in Southern CA; I will be in Santa Monica in April, so hope to run into you there. :)Oh, and there is a friendly family dog who ended up joining us on the patio.Price - See pictures of the menu.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2000, I am sure we will see each other again.

We headed over here on a whim after the state park. We were greeted by two beautiful pups, super friendly, and the owner. We paid $10 a tasting of 5 wines and bought two glasses. The reserve was especially good. They have a great patio area that overlooks the vineyard and Lake Tahoe mountains in the distance. Bring your own cheese and crackers, walk through the vineyard for some great photos, and enjoy the view. If gate is closed call the winery - owner gave us the code to get in.
