Absolutely excellent. Please don't go there, because I want all of the great wine to myself. The Chardonnay wasn't buttery or Oak(ie). The sparkling was perfect. The cab 2021 is smooth. Then you get into the Reserve Cab and the Dragonfly, please don't order these because I only had room for 2 cases and I need to pickup the rest in stock. 30 years of drinking wine and I found an absolute gem.

Very pleasant wine tasting experience! Wonderful service and outstanding quality wine as well. This is a hidden gem we found! The winemaker did a fantastic job of turning the local grapes into aromatic tasty wines. Def recommended!

What a hidden gem! The wine is very good and the people are super friendly. Great place to wine taste or just relax with a glass of wine. The morning hike is amazing, I highly recommend it.

Edit 2023, we kept going and still live the wine. Enough so that we did reopen our membership. I chose not to remove my previous notes because they are true but so is the fact that everything from the staff, location and wine is worth it. And we love all of the events and different vendors that come here.Edit** 2022 the comment below is what I used to think . I thought this Winery was amazing however their scheduling is riddled with issues. We read reservations for birthday and they didn't notate that to the staff properly . We set up in the area that we had specifically asked to reserve and then they had us move because they double booked . Even though we booked earlier they still had us move . In addition to this I have been a member of this Winery for some time and on multiple occasions when I showed up to pick up the release bottles they didn't have all of the bottles because they sold out and they are willing to sell the bottles that they have on hold for the members that pay for them in advance . Their response was to tell me that it's okay that wine wasn't that great anyways , as they are telling me that they completely sold out of it and sold my bottle to someone . Because that really convinces me that it was so bad that I don't need to try it . After the second time this happened, I canceled my membership . It's really sad because of how much we liked it.Original reviewI absolutely love the wine and atmosphere. The best thing is that this Winery is at the very end so you get the best Ambiance while you enjoy great wine. I can honestly say that I've never been disappointed by a tasting at this location

When I say my sisters and I had a fabulous day….no exaggeration! The wine testing and touring was delicious and quite informative. John was a superb host. Thank you for the grand, intimate experience. Blessings ??

I would give this 6 stars if possible Great wine and the staff was the best. So glad we found this excellent place, not only great wine but great food. We were on our way to the 49ers game and celebrating birthdays , received an excellent port wine and a delicious homemade brownie with a candle! An absolutely great tasting experience. I would highly recommend this great place to enjoy.

Charles R is in a beautiful location, perfect for a relaxing afternoon in the lush garden. The wines are bold and delicious. Can't wait to go again.

Went on Father's Day. Live music was awesome, backyard patio was cozy, service was pleasant, reds were okay, chardonnay was solid.
This winery is a hidden gem! The tasting room is in a gorgeous courtyard. The wines are really good and affordable.
Nice wine, friendly staff and beautiful patio area!
Lovely tasting area and even charming sipping.
Charles R is a great place to taste, picnic and meet with friends. At the end of the road.
