Excellent wine with excellent food! A fun and unique wine experience with a lunch. Service was great as well!
Wine and food pairing presented by Chef John. The presentation was lovely and everything tasted amazing. We were fortunate to have owner Jeff Mayo join us for a bit, sharing wine and stories to liven our evening. I can't think of any way to improve!
An experience that combines wine tasting, an education on food & wine pairing, & wonderful flavors at a good value.
I love this place - we always try and do a pairing here when we come to the area and it didn't disappoint this time either! The food, service and pairings were, as always, amazing!
Excellent food and wine pairings! The chefs personal attention to our experience made this the best wine country time yet!
Linda, listen. If you remotely like yourself, you'll treat you and your love to an amazing experience and atmosphere provided by the one and only Chef John and VJ. Celebrating our 3 month anniversary could not have been more perfectly.paired with the experience they provide. See what I did there? This spring menu of food pairings with their award winning wines will have you calling all your favorite humans to come and experience it for themselves. If you're within 2 hours of San Francisco at anytime.... book a good and wine pairing. And yes. You can call me Maui, because, you're so welcome.
Chef John along with sous chef Kelly create food that pairs impeccably with Mayo's great wine! The whole experience is transforming, they take great wine and pair with special tastes that make a great experience!
We had a great tasting at Mayo. Each wine was paired with an excellent food course. We were fortunate to have Chef John serve us and provide great background on each wine. He also explained why he created the companion food to bring out the best in the wine. We joined the Reserve Club and await our next visit to pick up our wine selections.
Mayo Family Winery Reserve Room is quite the hidden gem! Chef John and Sous Chef Kelly deliver an extraordinary experience of exquisite pairings in a cozy, personalized environment. This stands out in an incredibly competitive field. Not to be missed!
My husband I were here yesterday.
From the moment you step into the Mayo Reserve Room( small but cozy), the experience is nothing short of spectacular. Executive Chef John sets the tone with his warm and professional greeting, immediately making you feel like a valued guest. His enthusiasm and passion for food and wine elevate the entire tasting journey.
The tasting and pairing event is thoughtfully curated, blending exquisite wines with perfectly paired dishes. Chef John’s explanations of the wines and their complementary food pairings are both educational and engaging. His deep knowledge and ability to describe flavors and aromas in a relatable way make the experience enjoyable for both wine novices and aficionados alike.
Each pairing highlights the artistry behind the selection, showcasing how the flavors of the wine enhance the culinary creations and vice versa. Whether it's the delicate balance of a brut and white wine with a light watermelon salad to creamy dish or the robust depth of a red paired with a savory entree, every combination is an exploration of taste.
The ambiance of the Mayo Reserve Room complements the experience, providing a cozy yet refined setting that encourages you to savor every moment. The attentive Chef John ensures that every need is met, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the flavors and stories behind each pairing.
Overall, the Mayo Reserve Room tasting and pairing is a must-try for anyone who appreciates the fine art of food and wine pairing. The impeccable hospitality, exceptional pairings, and Chef John’s expertise create a memorable experience that lingers long after the final sip.
And of course, all the wines that we tasted come home with us plus several extra bottles for the family in Southern California.

Wonderful. Great wine and food and the executive and sous chefs put their hearts fully into it to make sure we had a great experience and we absolutely did. Enthusiastically recommend!
Had a fantastic time at the Mayo Family Winery! Great wines and excellent service. We arrived late in the afternoon and did not have an opportunity to try the food/wine pairings but really enjoyed their sparkling and red wines. We’ll be back for sure!
I am sorry but the environment did not match the food and wine quality. They can improve the wine pairing experience. It should have been inside, since the outside temperature was 95 degrees and the group of 21 person group tasting were not comfortable. The water could have had ice to cool it down. They can install a ceiling fan to provide circulation and a noise barrier to cut down on the tire noise of the cars going by. The food and wine were excellent and the service was excellent also. The environment needs to match the food and wine experience. To provide and overall customer experience.
We had so much fun with friends at this paired wine tasting. The executive chef was knowledgeable and fun, and he spent a great deal of time answering our questions and entertaining our little group. The food was paired well, and other than the chicken, I enjoyed every tapas course. We would definitely recommend this experience!
This experience is not to be missed! Chef John comes to your table to explain each dish and why it pairs with the wine. It's seasonally and locally sourced. I have experienced many pairings around both valleys and this one is the best!
