It is a beautiful tasting room to begin with. The wines were excellent and well explained to us by Grace the manager. Walked out with two bottles only because we wanted to save some for the next wine tasters! We will be back. Grace also gave us recommendations for other wineries and restaurants, which is always helpful!

Absolutely the nastiest wine I have ever tasted. The first two from the tasting flight smelled like a baby's diaper and didn't taste much better. They were all super acidic - my throat is still recovering. Had to dump most of the glasses. Couldn't even finish it. And I had never before met a wine that I couldn't push through. Overheard at another table "it's not super good, but at least I don't think it will kill you." Accurate, wise stranger lady. The owner didn't really build any rapport with us, but also casually dropped an f-bomb when talking about the wines her personally likes. Now I don't have anything against swearing, but it was super unprofessional and off putting. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere - anywhere - else!

This was a great experience. Grace was absolutely wonderful. She was pretty busy but still took time to explain the wine to us. We are local and have memberships with local wineries. I was pretty excited to try wines from Mendocino County and did not feel like it was taking anything away from Monterey County wines. It was nice to have a change. The Owner/Winemaker took time to visit with us and give us great information. We became members and are pretty excited for something new. The tasting room was spacious, and the property was perfect if you want to bring the family along while you taste. I can't wait until our next visit.

I love this place. Truly great wines and the absolute best person offering tastings. Grace is our girl! She's passionate about the wines and she's just a great person. She really adds that personal touch to your visit and she knows and loves the wines on offer. I can't wait to come back (all the way from Las Vegas ?) to spend some more time talking about wine and chilling with Grace. Just awesome! Happy to be in your wine club now too!

Enjoying this lovely bottle of wine tonight out in my garden. We love their wines and are so happy to be part of their wine club. Edward and Julia are so wonderful and so good at giving back to our community.

Went on a late October Saturday afternoon and it was divine. Laura took care of us, the weather was perfect, and the wines were delicious. The experience could not have been better.

Came here with my girlfriend after calling in advance, to which Dallas (I believe that was his name) answered and was extremely friendly. We were allowed to bring our dog and enjoy the beautiful patio and some fun bocci ball games. During our wine tasting, which we recommend the white wine taste flight, Dallas was super personable and conversational, and made us feel welcome, enhancing our experience. I strongly recommend this wine tasting experience, especially for Dallas :)
The location is great. Lots of patio chairs and a great view. I'm not quite sure yet about the wines. They are pouring 2013,2014 vintages, some tasted old, but it could have been my palate. I'll go back to ask for newer vintages to try. The tasting is 20$ for 5 tastes. The favorite of the day was their Zinfandel. The grapes are from Mendocino county, so this is not a local estate winer experience. I believe they have live music on the weekends.

One of mine and my family's favorite places to kick back and enjoy some wine and sometimes live music. The service has been incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive with every visit! The space and location is fantastic. Our favorite wines so far have been the 2014 Grenache, the Zinfandel, and the Syrah.

Lovely, casual outdoor setting and modern, comfortable interior tasting room. The wine was great and a good value. Loved the live music, too!! We left with a few bottles of chardonnay and the Tocai white. Great place to spend a Sunday afternoon!

If there were more stars, we'd give as many as possible. This was such a lovely experience! Amazing wine, great ambiance, and the absolute best service. Dallas was a jackhammer of a server - stayed on top of our drinks, made excellent conversation, and gave a lot of recommendations for places to go while we're here visiting :) If you're in the Bay Area, be sure to make a trip here. You won't regret it!
