John was the ultimate host. He walked us through their lovely wines in a magical setting replete with his amazing and friendly dogs and the experience in the shaded pergola was such a treat. We will be certain to return with friends so they can experience true hospitality from a proprietor with a passion.

What a gem! Lovely scenery to enjoy their delicious wine. The barn is beautiful and the owner was so welcoming and knowledgeable. Me and my husband had the best time thank you! Superb wine, brandy, dessert chocolate and ambience. Thank you for the experience will be back for more!

Didn't make an appointment? Waiting at the gate? CALL THE PHONE NUMBER!

We almost missed out on this gem because the gate was closed and we didn't make an appointment. Was about to drive on... But I decided to call and Farmer John was more than accommodating!

It's a farm meets vineyard meets winery.

Anyways, we called and Farmer John came and opened the gate for our two cars. We came in and parked next to the barn. He gave us the choice of tasting inside or outside - we chose outside.

After the 15 minutes he needed to get ready, he rolled out with all the glasses and bottles required for a tasting for 5 adults.

Most of the wines are fruit forward but we all really enjoyed that about them. They well blended. John also explained that he's not pressured to put out wines that he doesn't feel meet his standard. This is a passion for him.

Great conversations followed. The kids all played around the grounds and even went to go meet the farm animals!

We all bought 2 bottles (or more) each to cover our tasting.

It was great enjoying this time and the conversations surrounded by green grass and a wonderful farm setting.

Definitely will be coming back!

Thank you John! (Hope you won your Fantasy League!)

Amazing venue.

We stopped by last minute on our way from Yosemite to San Francisco and happened upon this quaint vineyard. Luckily they were kind enough to do a last minute tasting for us, although they prefer reservations ahead of time. Kristi was so sweet and kind, explained each wine’s name origin and how they put their love and care into each bottle of wine. Sitting in the pavilion enjoying the warmth of the host and the season, I truly did not want to leave and will definitely be back again. I will definitely recommend this as each glass of wine gives a unique tasting experience.

This is a fantastic place to get an amazing wine tasting experience. Kristi was so kind to give us a last minute tour and a tasting of all the different wines. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to have some good time :)

Father John was so sweet to take in me and my fiancé when we showed up at his front gate. I highly recommend this vineyard as a tasting because not only was the wine delicious but he was so full of knowledge and had a wonderful time showing us around and telling us about the process.
Sorry this is a late post, Father John, and I say we did not win the lottery but Austin says we did. You know what I mean. ? ?
Thank you millions!

We stopped here on our way home from Yosemite. Gave a Farmer John a call when we were practically in the driveway and he made a tasting for us happen! Really friendly guy, with tasty wine!

John was out of town, but Kristi accommodated us on 30 minutes notice. It was an amazing and unique experience! The wine was delicious, Kristi was sweet and fun, and the environment was beautiful. Will definitely stop again.

We were staying in the area and called John short notice. Came with the wife and boys. Make sure to call first as there is a private gated entrance. John came out with his dogs welcoming and friendly. He even served us some of his own cured meat which was delicious. Our boys ran around exploring the property and we enjoyed wine under his large covered patio. I really enjoyed the Beelzebob dessert wine and the Cristiano jammy wine. After we were done tasting we toured the property and got to feed the horses and goats. Definitely worth a stop if you are coming to the area.
