We were really looking forward to visiting this winery and having a nice picnic on the lawn with family. My mom called ahead to ask if we needed a reservation for the picnic tables and whether there was a minimum purchase required. The man on the phone was friendly and told her no reservation or minimum was needed—just to come and enjoy ourselves. We still fully intended to buy some wine while there.
When we arrived, it was quite busy inside, so we decided to start with our picnic on the lawn. A little later, a woman came out and told us we needed to buy wine to be there. I let her know we were planning on it—it just looked too crowded earlier. When I went inside, it was completely empty. I did a tasting to see what bottle I wanted to buy, and over the course of about an hour, I went in and out (we were seated outside and it was 95 degrees).
When I finally went in to purchase the one bottle I enjoyed, the woman insisted we needed to buy more wine—either a tasting or bottle purchase per person (even though 3 adults in our group don’t drink). I explained again that we were happy to support the winery and had every intention of doing so, but this was very different from what we were told on the phone. She was incredibly rude and dismissive, despite the fact that the lawn and tasting room were nearly empty and we weren't taking space from anyone else.
I’m disappointed by the lack of transparency and the way we were treated. We came with good intentions and were met with conflicting information and poor hospitality. A little clarity and kindness would have gone a long way.
The two stars are for the atmosphere as the grounds are beautiful and nice to walk around. But we will not be returning.

We recently hosted a party at this winery, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. While the setting initially seemed charming, the event was ruined due to the poor maintenance of the venue.
The gazebo area was infested with ants, which quickly made their way to our beautifully arranged dessert cart. The ants completely destroyed the food, making it inedible and wasting all the effort we put into setting it up.
What made matters worse was the management's response--or lack thereof. When we brought the issue to their attention, they were dismissive and unwilling to offer any help or compensation. Despite multiple follow-ups, they showed no concern or responsibility for the damages. Their lack of care and apathy was shocking.
For a venue that markets itself as a premier destination, the quality of upkeep and the way they treat their customers is simply unacceptable. I would not recommend this place to anyone, especially if you're planning a special event.I’m

Rios Lovell winery offer good wines and 4 beautiful lady marble statues imported from Italy. It is right at tesla rd. I enjoyed the shady picnic area you can bring your own food or buy theirs to have a nice relaxing time. It is a great stop.

Beautiful Tasting Room & Courtyard. So Excited to find out about the Feb 10, 2024 Celebration!!
Cute winery. Affordable prices. We came on a quiet day but nice to try a new place and lots of area to walk and explore!

Visited during the holiday week. Casual, comfortable indoor seating for tasting. Friendly service. Nice to be able to buy some simple packaged cheese and crackers. Especially enjoyed the ports.

Visited a few months ago. The wine is cheap but not good. Out of the 10 we tasted, we only enjoyed 2 of them and 5 of them we couldn’t even stomach. The views and grounds were beautiful. If you’re looking for a quiet place to sit outside this is a great place but if you’re looking to enjoy wine I’d skip.

Used to love coming here. Has great scenery, reasonably priced wine & fun casual experience. However, we recently went for my sister's bday and they made two of us pay the tasting fee, even though my sister is a member and 4 guests are free. I purchased over $100 worth of wine and they wouldn't take the $10 off tasting as advertised. They are also really strict now on the 5:30 closing time and my sister wasn't able to get her last 3 tastings in. I don't think we will renew our membership.

Excellent service and great wine. They owner is so kind and generous. The outdoor setting is very cute and lovely. Best place to hangout after fruit picking.
