Great wine and entertainment

Winery in an industrial park, that was unexpected. Small, but nice interior. The one business decision, not to sell/serve any non alcoholic wine, seems very out of touch with today’s sensibilities. I had called ahead regarding the wine issue and they refused to allow us to bring a bottle of our own. Two of our group of seven do not drink alcohol. They could have simply had an uncorking charge, we’d would have happily paid it. I guess they are more concerned about their wine snobbery, than they are being great hosts and making everyone feel welcome and truly enjoying the evening on par with their friends.We were there to listen to a great blues band, but our friends couldn’t participate in the celebratory atmosphere of hoisting their glass of wine, multiple times throughout the evening.With such a non inclusive atmosphere we won’t be back. Besides, the expensive Cabernet Sauvignon was of the poorest quality.

Great space available for a private party. Lisa and her staff are wonderful in helping coordinate all of it. The wine is delicious and we had a fabulous time

Outstanding wine and proprietors of this wonderful winery. Richly rewarded over the years for their great wines, they also provide a great space to enjoy your wine and a cheese plate, or some live music some evening, or a crafty fair. Many events are hosted here. Kind people and good times. Highly recommended.

Happy hour was great as was the barbera.

The wine is high quality, made on site, and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, my home away from home.

Russ Schnapp

Some really nice wines, and an extremely pleasant place to meet while savoring some of them.

This is the "Cheers" for today! It can be an extension of your living room when you invite friends to meet you there. The owners and staff are personable and knowledgeable and the award-winning wines are, oh so very good! My favorites are the Malbec (sweeter version) and the Zin. Wine Club parties are so delightful - make new friends or just chill out, relaxing on your own!

Love the staff and owners here, we always feel welcomed. The place is a diamond in the rough when you look at its location in a kind of industrial park back behind Home Depot in Carmel Mountain Ranch. Our daughter wanted us to bring her here for her first tasting for her 21st BD and Darius (owner/winemaker) went out of his way along with the other staff to make it an event to remember for her. They all took an interest in reaching her a little about wine. We are members and are glad to support this local, home-grown Mom and Pop winery and to stop in for our “free” monthly glasses of wine.

A fine place to hang out. Professional, friendly service. Wines are very fruit forward, so if that's your thing, this is the place. Snacks like cheese plates are also available.They have trivia nights and other events, so check the website or social media.

Let's start off with I don't like wine. So, I didn't like the two I tasted but the one from the back that was "not even close to be ready to be bottled", really had great potential. It was a Port and tasted sweet but not too sweet. I don't know what else to say to describe it because I don't know wine talk.I was happily satisfied as I like sweet wines like Moscato's but not all of them as I am picky wine drinker.The reason it only got 3 stars was because of the entertainment. They had Comedy night that night. The head liner was really good and two other were ok. The other 3 were bad. When I go see a show, I expect all of the entertainment tobe good, almost great. I know, high expectations. Silly me.

Great to have a local urban winery near home.

Hannah Houze

Excellent wine with a laid back comfortable atmosphere. The assistant wine maker Dane and the wine tender Dani were fun and personable as well as excited about their product. Definitely will be back!!
