This place absolutely sucks if you are with kids. They will not let them in the taisting area of under the cover outside. So we came during some rain. No place for the kids to be. They were rude about all the situation. 6 of us all just turned around and left. Kinda lame.
Amazing wine. Amazing people!
Everything was perfect !
Wine ,pizza, and music!
Starfield is gorgeous and the weather was perfect! The staff were very nice and friendly!
We will definitely be going back!
Today was my third or fourth visit to Starfield Vineyards. I missed their custom of greeting you with a glass of sparkling when you enter their tasting room. I was also disappointed to hear that the kitchen had been closed as a recall, how incredible our meals were in the past.
That being said, atmosphere, environment and views cannot be beaten. I love that there’s walking paths to explore their vineyards, and of the lake with the lily pads.
We enjoyed the charcuterie plate however were charged extra when we asked to add the Manchego cheese which we’d had on the last visit. Joe was our server and he seemed well educated with all the wines. My favorite wine of the pouring was Big Canyon.
When we reached the lake we learned it was National Grenache Day (who knew?) so were each poured a nice taste of their Grenache.
Great venue. Wine is solid
Its a ok place
My sister and I had such a great experience here. Everything we tried (which is most everything) was delicous and we didn't regret anything we tried. Diana and Emily were both amazing and so helpful, making the experience so amazing. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you're heading that way
They have a $5 for the taste of 3 different wine, which is also a very decent choice for those who already visited a bunch of other wineries to stop by. The best wine for me is the Tempranillo.
My wife and I have been going to Starfield for years now and today we had the opportunity to be served by Savannah. Coming from someone who is working his way through WSET training, Savannah has a great depth of knowledge both of the varietals that she's serving and the production that went into creating the wine. She's a pleasure to learn from and I look forward to visiting the winery again soon.
Fantastic wines, great views and awesome staff. Ask for Emily or Savannah. The Aglianico wine is amazing.

The wine is good and the property is nice, but it’s in your best interest to make a reservation (despite it being an antiquated process of emails and phone calls). That way someone can explain the exhausting amount of rules regarding all the different seating areas.
- party more than 6? can’t do a tasting, can only sit for lunch with glasses of wine.
- party of 2 trying to get a table at the pavilion? nope, “we only seat parties of exactly 4 & 6”
- party of 10 at the pavilion? nope, “we can’t separate you into two tables. Your only option is to purchase a bottle and sit somewhere on the property”
Furthermore, member or nonmember, if you show up without a reservation, especially on the weekday, you will be treated as a burden. It’s very unwelcoming. You could show up to a completely empty tasting room and they’ll still tell you, “I’m not sure if we have space, but we might be able to squeeze you in…ill just have to check if the person pouring can agree to take you.”
Just do yourself a favor and make that reservation, so you know what seating “experience” you’re getting, and the staff with be pleasant since you didn’t surprise them with your walk-in.
Great winery and venue. The staff are always helpful snd professional. Become a member here, the wine is worth it and the perks are far more luxurious than what you pay for.
Came all the way from Las Vegas for the Nevada Days at Apple Hill. My daughter's first wine tasting. Anna was a treat! So patient and informative and brought different wines for my daughter and grandmother, who liked sweet, versus me since I prefer dry reds. A gorgeous setting and delightful wines.
The charcuterie board paired with the red tasting and the white tasting in their outdoor seating area overlooking the area made for a perfect afternoon. Good wine, good cheese, a great walk around the ponds, and excellent service 5/5 stars!
Totally inattentive from the outset, poor service and aside from some charcuterie options, no real food, contrary to what was advertised. Not a single one of their staff attempted to seat us or direct us. We sat down with the hope that someone would come help us only to have one of the staff tell my husband that my children and I couldn’t sit there without an effort to actually guide us. I then went to the front desk to attempt to order some food and wine and the woman said she would get to me next and instead next turned to a young white couple. (I’m middle eastern). Not sure if there is overt racism here but put us off entirely and decided we would spend our hard earned money elsewhere).
