Wineries near Manton

“We had a lovely afternoon at the vineyards. We stumbled upon this place and everyone was sitting inside; there were not many outdoor seating areas we could see. The people were welcoming from the start! We eventually talked to everyone in the room, guests included. The tasting was $5 (a STEAL) and included 4-5 wines, including 1 white and 1 dessert wine with a dark chocolate. A table in the corner serves fresh hot food; todays special was house made kettle chips and pulled pork sandwiches. Fred and Donna, who own the place, were running the show themselves and sitting with the locals. Very intimate community feel.“

“If you enjoy going to quaint and quiet mountain villas that offer spectacular views and great hospitality, then consider the 55-minute drive easy of Redding to Manton, CA. This is where John and Linda Alger decided to share their passion for his wine and generous hospitality. They have unique wine varietals that can not be found anywhere else because they grow their fruit on the premises, which gives it a distinctly local essence. They also serve up an occasional dinner party for members and special guests, which, when paired, becomes a delicious and delightful experience! My gratitude for John and Linda goes especially for hosting our private event, which John says they do not typically do. The atmosphere was perfectly relaxed (after a long and stressful week, this was such a welcomed place to walk into), and their sweet and generous disposition complimented their stellar wine selection. Following a tasting and learning from John about each variety, we were served an excellent dinner prepared by their local chef (Lawrence?). We savored every morsel as much as every sip, and we all were so delighted that they agreed to have us there for this private occasion! In a world where connections and relationships have become strained and fragile by societal reformatting, the owners of Alger Vinyard and Wine here in Manton, CA, are "holding the line" and continue to give busy people exhausted from their daily routine an experience that will bring rest and relaxation in an environment that will infuse the heart and soul with comfort and peace. Thank you, Alger family, for providing this for our community.“
