Very nice winemaker at this winery. Our group was here for the Wine Road barrel tasting weekend and decided to stop here.They had free goodie bags with popcorn and chips for customers. The wines were ok but I can see it being a nice place to visit and chill with the winemaker with a glass of wine.

Ektimo winery is a fun stop for a wine tasting with a great Guy Julious that knows his wines. Great bike trail along side the winery makes excellant stop for a rest and enjoy some great wines at fair prices and choice of a wine club of wines of your liking.

This is the worst experience in my 10 years of going to Sonoma or Napa. The way they pour is literally 1 sip. Also we came for food and wine festival, and they didn't quite have the staff to handle the people. I asked for packaged food and refused to give until space was available. I highly recommend someone shut this place down.

We came for the Food and Wine affair. One of the staffs was serving a big group of people, he told us to come back for another hour even there were some available seats. It seems like they didn't have enough staffs to handle the guests. My husband asked if he could at least give us the food to try which already got packed in a plastic container. He said come back in another hour and he will give. Their attitude was so bad. They shouldn't have participated in this event. I mean we paid for this event and it's pricey. They shouldn't have treated us like that. I'll never ever come back again.

Julian the tasting room manager is a delight, great stories and amazing hospitality. Wine portfolio has much variety and a barrel tasting included in every visit. Love their Pinots. Off the beaten path, quaint and rustic, will definitely recommend and return.

Taste Route 116, November 2022This was our last stop after two days, having visited 10 out of 11 wineries. Truth be told, it was our tour guide's (second) least favorite, so it really wasn't even on the itinerary.What a fun surprise and excellent experience it turned out to be. We arrived without reservations but were fortunate to have been greeted and quickly seated by our absolutely engaging host, Julius. He was perfect for our group because he was knowledgeable for those that had all the questions and entertaining for those of us who were just enjoying the experience. I was with industry folk who speak the language and technical jargon, but I just know if I like the wines or not... and I enjoyed Ektimo's wines overall. To the end I have a (shared) case of Pinot Noir futures coming next month as well as a couple bottles purchased for Thanksgiving. Casual, outside patio was perfect for this lovely NorCal weekend.And do you know who purchased the other half of that shared case? Yes, indeed...our guide! Ektimo will definitely be on our itinerary going forward.

Laid back wine tasting, easy to drink wines, amd conversations that flow forever. The tasting manager is a hoot! The animals on the property are adorable!
