Birdstone has good wine. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and kind. This is a nice winery.
Update: Yesterday we visited to pick up some of their port wine. We ended up staying for a sip or two. The Cabernet is pretty good! More importantly: I discovered that their membership is pretty great we too! You have the option to choose your own wines, every time you pick up. For me that opened the door and immediately signed up, took my first 3 bottles, and had another sip! 😉
When I opened the Birdstone Tinta Madeira Port wine today, I remembered I had not left a review yet, so here we go. Being newbies in the area and finally retired, so we have the time to do these thigns, we planned to visit some wineries and pick one or more to give our patronage regularly. So far Birdstone is the only one that provided a welcoming ambiance and a relaxed tasting of their wide spectrum of wines. Sandra, our host, went out of her way to make sure we were getting the experience we were looking for. All the wines were of good to really good quality. There is really something for everyone. My taste is more into red and not so sweet, and I only found their rose to be too much on the sweet side (again, for my taste). The white chardonnay was quite drinkable, the Muskat enjoyable, and all the reds good to very good wines for light to heavy dishes or paired with chocolat, or some crackers and cheese. My favourites are clearly the Babera and the Primitivo, again led by my personal taste. These are exceptional wines. And then there is the Tinta Madeira Port. Unfortunately the sample we tasted was over due, but showed the signs of a good port, so we bought a bottle and that brings me back to today: a port pairing with some blue cheeses, yum! We hope to frequent this winery during our stay here and become part of their journey of making exceptional wines.

I've been a member of this winery for a few years. The welcomes are always warm and the wine is delicate and full-bodied. Highly recommend!!!
Had a great time here! Stopped on our way back from a wedding further south and really loved the wines, plus Sandra was a great hostess! Totally recommend if you're in the area!
We absolutely love Birdstone Winery! It's such a beautiful location to have wedding at and we look forward to every celebration we get to photograph there. Such a great team and amazing venue, we love it!
Great experience and great conversation! Tried wines I’d never heard of and learned a lot from the friendly owners!
Delicious wines and great atmosphere and service. One of my favorite winery's in the central valley.
My wife and I frequent this winery all the time. The winery owners are fantastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. Some of the best wine in the Madera/Fresno area by far! The sign inside states, "Come as guests, leave as friends." That truly embodies how this winery makes you feel. It's a fantastic place to just come, taste some wine, bring some snacks, a board game, and just enjoy the grounds/have a picnic. Great date opportunity!
