Great location for wedding. Has indoor and outdoor seating. A hotel is nearby for travelers. The staff is really nice and helpful.

Great venue for parties or tastings. They have quite a few varieties of wines, dry reds and whites with many sweet and fruity wine options. Beautiful grounds and tasting room. We came in for a tasting and there was a group setting up for a private party which is great to get a sense of the size for large parties. We had great personalized service from the two young men who spent quite some time pouring for our large group. Definitely a fun place to go for girls day out or picnicking.

It's soo cute here. I love how they offer white, red, and dessert wines on their tasting menu. I can continuously come here.

(Visited 22SEP23) Low key and not at all pretentious. (Do you get the innuendo toward some other wineries?) Great price for a tasting, and we purchased some nice wines.

If you're wine tasting in Madera County, make a point of visiting this winery!All of the wines we tasted were excellent, and a few like the Moody Press Red Blend, the Moody Press Zin, the Sparkling Moscato and Katelyn Rose are outstanding!The folks who work there could not be nicer or more knowledgeable about the wine. They're very patient, and honestly proud of their wine (with good reason!). The tasting room is utterly gorgeous, and there is plenty of room for the seasonal tasting events that cover the calendar. There are often events that include food, outside vendors and lots of wine. Be sure to get on the mailing list!The location is also a gorgeous venue, and there are private parties, weddings and live bands throughout the year. Planning an event? Call these folks first!We highly recommend that you stop by. You'll be glad you did. Check the web site for tasting room hours.

Sadly they close often without notice on any platform! You don't know until you drive there.

WOW what has happened to this place. 3x to watch nephew. Went last night for the annual corn hole event. Great rolled ice cream but Who's smart idea was it to serve fire ball, to drunks. You guys need to get your act together before this place turns into a DIVE WINERY. Thank goodness you have 1 employee who knows what's going on. The little short blond gal. Cut music had light turned on before it got out of hand. & your security team. Sad sad sad...

We stopped by San Joaquin after visiting another winery in the area and before heading to San Francisco for a flight back home. We arrived right before they were supposed to open, but even at opening time, they did not open their doors right away - pulling on doors, knocking, and calling did not do anything.What we got:Tempting Sweets Flight:Peach Passion - a good peach wine, but we've had better. My husband liked this one more than the mango.Mango Mambo - a good mango wine, but I actually liked this one more than the peach.Pomegranate Sangria - I liked this one okay on it's own.Red Moscato - Didn't really care for this one.Blackberry - I server threw this one in for us, and it was a pretty good blackberry wine.Tasters Choice Flight:Brut Blanc De Blanc - This was okay, but my favorite of the sparkling wines.Sparkling Moscato - Didn't really care for this one.Brut Rose - Didn't really care for this one.White Moscato - Didn't really care for this one.Mambo/Pomegranate Blend - our server mentioned that they blend this one often, so I asked for this to be my last choice. This was my favorite of the day, really enjoyed this blend as they worked well together.As we were flying back with only carry on luggage, I asked about shipping. They do ship, but unfortunately the shipping charge was just too much for just wanting to purchase two bottles (mango and pomegranate). I know shipping wine is quite costly, but the other winery we went to charged only half as much, so that is where we purchased all of our wine from.Overall, we enjoyed the fruit wines, and I was disappointed in the moscato wines - we have had much better. The experience was okay - great server who poured generously, mediocre to good (not great) wines, and the environment was just lacking.

A beautiful place to share in CA with out of town guests, friends, family, those that can appreciate the beauty of vineyards and the gift of wine.

Small private venue perfect for intimate weddings. Wine is good with a variety and wide selection. Easy parking. Friendly staff.

It was a rainy day when we visited this winery , the host was friendly, gave us 5 tastings for just 10$ each , enjoyed all their wines …. They have a big party place and outdoor setting too but no food pairing . They allow the outside food though .
