But what truly sets Captain Vineyards apart is the warmth of its people and the familial atmosphere they cultivate.As you wander the vineyard, you might be lucky enough to cross paths with Cleopatra, the vineyard's adorable canine ambassador. With her soft fur and endearing eyes, she's hard to resist, especially if you're armed with her favorite treat – cheese.The skies above are a theater of nature's beauty. Hawks gracefully glide over the rolling hills, their silhouettes painting a picture of freedom and majesty. The occasional bluejay adds a splash of color, their vibrant plumage contrasting beautifully against the green backdrop.Mr. Captain, with his vast knowledge and affable nature, is always eager to share the intricacies of winemaking. His stories weave through the history of the vineyard, the nuances of each wine, and the organic practices that make their offerings so special.

Cheers to many more visits and many more memories! ?“
“I celebrated my birthday here with a small group of friends yesterday. 10/10 recommend for a local tasting. The tasting room was beautiful- I wish I took photos in there! After the tasting we snapped a few photos out by the vines and enjoyed a couple bottles of wine. Bob was a great host and played music while my group chatted and enjoyed the first fall-feeling day with the sun whipping in and out from behind the clouds here and there. I can't finish this review without mentioning the delicious charcuterie board that Bob prepared for us. Yum! Definitely will return for the holidays and bring the family.“
“Steve is a knowledgeable and welcoming host. We came across his winery on Valentine's Day. He was closed for an event, but still invited us in and shared his delicious wines, including a 2016 Zifandel. I look forward to bringing family and friends to this spacey yet warm venue to sample wines for years to come.“
“I couldn't have picked a better venue or better host! You feel like you are with your family and feel right at home. On the day of my wedding I feel so comforted and relaxed. Even right before the wedding was supposed to begin the rain decided to join us for a little bit and Barbara and many others jumped into to get the chairs and tables dry, amazing!I also highly recommend Juan as you cater for this venue, he knows the space extremely well and the food is amazing!Finally I also recommend getting Mirella as your wedding planner! She coordinated with all the vendors wonderfully and left me to be able to just enjoy my day! =)“
“I came here for a girls day out with a friend. Called at 9am and was able to reserve for 1pm tasting without any issues. Samantha was the one who helped us. She gave us a little history on the place. They are family owned and family run, and she is 4th generation. She's super friendly and was very patient with us. I learned how to say Sangiovese. Now I can go order this in an Italian restaurant and sound like I know what I'm ordering . Thank you Samantha.Tastings are $10/person, but is waived if you buy a bottle (any bottle, and a bottle starts at only $10). I really enjoyed my time here. The tasting room is decent size, could probably fit 20 people max. It was air conditioned. They were setting up for a concert yesterday, so we were not allowed to have outdoor tasting, but outdoor would've been too hot for us anyway. I tried a variety of wines and the 3 I liked the most were the Sangiovese and Reserve Zinfandel, and Reserve Zinfandel Port. I like sweeter wines and these three were fruity and delicious. I ended up purchasing the port.Plenty of parking on the property, but not clearly marked. I wish there were lines, I parked under the tree out in front. Overall it was a lovely experience and such a beautiful winery in the middle of a residential area! I would totally take guests here in the future. Maybe pack a little charcuterie board to go with the tasting. They do not serve food here, except for special events like the Luau that Samantha so kindly told us about. They often host concerts and events here. I'll be checking their site for info and definitely come back!“
