Very friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed their lovely wines and property.

This is a hidden gem. If you live in the Bay Area, you must visit these smaller wineries that only make a few hundred cases each year. The wines are amazing and the surrounding area is so beautiful and peaceful away from the hustle bustle of tourists. The father daughter duo are great host! Abbie and her dad really gives their all to ensure everyone that stops by has the fullest experience at this winery. The winemaker moved to CA to make wind because he loves drinking them so why not learn to do it himself and live the dream! I really liked the Five Vines, which is a Bordeaux style grape. It tasted full and robust. So so so delicious that I could just drink wine all day and sit out in the sun. Heck, I would even work at this winery in exchange for free wine!

We were delighted that we could call and get a same-day tasting appointment for 3 people at Viszlay. Abby (it's her family's winery) sat right down with us and gave us an hour of quality time! She was full of information and so interesting. The tasting fee is $20 per person but we bought 3 bottles so she waived all but 1 tasting fee. We really liked the 5 wines we got to taste and glad to buy a few of them. Thanks for the good time Abby Viszlay!

Stayed here on 10/04/22 and love everything about it. The wine is very good and the owners are the best, will definitely have to come back. Thank you for everything

What a great hidden gem. Probably some of the best tasting wine I've ever had. Had the pleasure of sitting down with the owner John who educated my group and I with wonderful info and spoiled us with a delicious tasting. It was amazing to see the barrels with all the delicious wine and seeing the grapes grow right in front of your eyes. We definitely added this to our "must return" list and are excited to do so. We were totally mad at ourselves for not purchasing any wine prior to leaving, it was a long full day of tastings so we couldn't keep her eyes on the prize. I highly recommend stopping by even just to grab a quick bottle. I guarantee you will not to be disappointed.

Came with a group and was greeted with some odd comments about our outfit choices (like that matters?). the entire tasting was awkward and Abby made comments about how we weren't able to make the walk around the vineyards because of our shoes and how it was too "strenuous"... our friend was celebrating her bachelorette and she was really offended by all the comments. Abby even said to the bride "it looks like you're wearing a Halloween costume". I'm not sure if it was a joke, but either way it was not a friendly environment. I would suggest to come here and not expect great service but the wine is good!

John and his family will maje your day. The wines are very nice affordable. Mr Pepper will supervise all your activities! Just call before you go about 99.99 of the time you will have no problems! He or his family will welcome you!

Business with the viszlay family is no good. They do not pay their contractors their contracts and you can expect an un honest service and treatment. You have been warned that business with bad people is bad for your health.

Out in Sonoma/Napa last August and the highlight of the entire trip was the discovery of Viszlay Winery. Besides the excellant wines, we were lucky enough to enjoy the company of the owner and his daughter. Can’t wait to go back.

This winery is so beautiful! The wine is Divine and the people are fun and informative!
Darling family-owned winery. We reserved a wine tasting session and had a mix of barrel tasting and bottle tasting (because of the weekend). Both Abby and John are incredibly down to earth and spoke with us the entire time. Their tasting room is also their cellar, so the inside area is small, however they have a beautiful outdoor area with seating. It was a breath of fresh air to experience a winery that wasn't on a more commercialized estate. We thoroughly enjoyed!

Very casual and laid back vibe here. The owner and his daughter attended to us and we had a good conversation along the way. Lot of good tips for the local area were given as well. Wine was good, cheese was good. We would recommend and would go back. We used a Groupon for our first visit and it worked out perfectly.

Such a cool little winery! Great setting and loved hanging out with our host.

Beautiful winery! Very friendly family staff to serve! One of the unique places where you drink by the grapes!

A Winetasting Disaster June 2021 My wife and I are never coming back to this place. We have visited approximately 25 wineries in the past year, and have traveled rather extensively for over 30 years.. We have never had such horrible customer service from a winery, bar, restaurant, hotel, online or retail vendor, airline, car rental office, train or ship. We arrived promptly for our scheduled tasting and sat down. The woman in charge gave us two tastes of chardonnay, but when she saw we had brought food, said that she wouldn't bring more wine until we finished eating. No problem--we could understand her rationale. We finished eating in about 15 minutes, but didn't drink most of the wine because it tasted like it was turning. By now there were only two other tables of guests, with a total of perhaps 12 people. She spent some time pouring for them, but in fact most of her time was occupying in chatting. Now, we can understand that. Guest have questions. It's also pleasant to have your server be sociable. However, her back was to us the whole time. She never looked in our direction, let alone came over to see how the tasting was going for us. There was a gentleman who remained standing (also with his back to us) who appeared to be visiting primarily with one of the tables. We don't know if he was a guest or employee, but it seemed odd that a guest would remain standing. To repeat, our server NEVER even looked in our direction. So we sat there with our undrinkable wine for 20+ minutes after we finished eating. There weren't that many guests, nor in fact did they require many pours. This was an unbelievable experience. My wife got up after a total of 35+ minutes and went inside the building, where our server had now moved and was chatting with someone else. She told the woman that we could see she was having a very busy day, that we were leaving, and (to avoid a scene) we would come back some other time. I am sharing this information with our wine club members--a total of 30+ individuals--so that they will be aware of the level of service they might expect at this winery. No stars!
