“Always friendly and helpful! Wonderful wines 🍷“

“Always a lovely day at Hollys 🍁🍷🍁“

“We had the pleasure of having my daughter's wedding here recently and I cannot say enough good about not only the venue but the management and staff from well before the wedding date all the way through the most magical day went above and beyond!
Jordan and Maggie are simply the best and they care about your special day as if it were their own. It was phenomenal the amount of people that approached us asking how did you find this place??
From the wedding night/guesthouse to the beautiful lake to the massive grounds it is absolutely breathtaking and so well kept yet so comfortable to be in… Highly highly recommend!“

“I love this place. The atmosphere is great, the views are beautiful, and the wines are delicious. Time flies and we’ve been coming here for a number of years now. Over the years we’ve had Chris and Jeff as our somms the most which is always a blast. Both of them are really fun and easy going but very knowledgeable about the wines as well as the greater Tahoe area. Most recently we had Vicki and she was also really fun and a great somm. We’ve had others too who’ve all be great hosts. Highly recommended.“

“This winery is one of the best! We visited for a wine tasting and the gentleman was so informative about the wines and how they are harvested, we couldn’t get enough of his knowledge! The wines, all six, that we selected on our own were excellent! We will probably join the club when we get home! Also, there is a picnic area that you can purchase a charcuterie board or cheese and crackers, spreads and dips to sit down and enjoy with your bottle of wine! It’s fantastic!“

“Amazing place! Had a great time.“

“This winery is an absolute gem in Placerville! Their wines are absolutely delicious, and the variety of reds is truly impressive. The S&M wine, in particular, is everything I love about a bold red—big, full-bodied, and wonderfully jammy. It’s the kind of wine I could enjoy year-round, whether in the heat of summer or on a cozy winter evening - with or without food!

Beyond the wine, the owners and their entire staff are so warm and welcoming—they make every visit feel special. I highly recommend making an appointment to taste here; it’s an experience you won’t forget!“

“We too have been members for years! What happened to Debbi and Nate? Wow, sad to hear, Debbi was 1 one of the main reasons we went FH, besides wine, but she truly made it extraordinarily special! Hopefully she's ok.“

“Miss the winery. Thank your shipping !“

“Best wines I’ve had, EVER, in this part of the state. We went for the Valentine’s lunch and it was a revelation (pun intended?). Tina is an exceptional cook, Frank and outstanding winemaker, both are lovely hosts, and their entire team is so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. My mother and I are excited to visit again.“

“Love sitting on this dog friendly patio gazing at the Sierra Nevada foothills listening to fun bands drinking outstanding wines. Life is good!!!“

“Great ambience and the staff goes above and beyond!“

“Strange enough to run into Kenyan (FNF#15 owner and past colleague) 10 yrs after we met. He was stocking his wine on the shelves at a local liquor store. After a short spat of equal recognition, he informs me of his organic “micro” brewery. Being a tap house owner myself, I strive to support local and independent, thus I partook! The wheat beer he crafted has been on tap but a short while and delivers consistent satisfaction to those who partake. This batch itself carries an embodied citrus tartness, bordering a tart saison but with a cloudy wheat appeal…prefered with a citrus slice either to add sweetness or compliment tartness. Cheers!“

“$15-$25 flights with one bottle purchase you get your fee waive. Beautiful winery with lots of grounds to cover for a nice hike or stroll. There’s a lake and beautiful IG Worthy photo ops areas like a walkway covered by roses. Easy to order flights and light snacks available inside the bar and deli. Overall it was such a vibe here. Make reservations as they fill up fast“

“BlueBarn Provisions is an absolute gem in Camino! Everything about this place feels thoughtful and elevated…. from the cozy, charming atmosphere to the beautifully crafted menu. I had the Roasted Turkey with French Brie + Peach Jam, Spring Greens on Ciabatta, and WOW. The flavor combo was perfection; savory, creamy, slightly sweet, and so fresh. The peach jam with the brie took it to another level, and the ciabatta was perfectly toasted. You can tell they really care about quality ingredients and presentation. This is the kind of place you go once and immediately start thinking about what you’ll order next time. If you’re anywhere near Camino, this is a must-stop. 🥪✨“

“Great place, gorgeous views, free wine tasting and good quality wines at a reasonable price point. Less than $30 for most wines and the best part is that they are already aged quite a bit before release. The service was great, too. Rachel was super friendly and laid back. We bought several bottles of 2019 & 2020. It’s awesome to get wine that’s six-seven years old at this price point. Super glad we stumbled upon this gem. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend.“
