Giessinger Cellars & Cidery

Excellent tasting experience. The wines were incredible. Learning about how the wines were made was invaluable. All of the wine was so good it made it difficult to choose which bottles to take home. I’m looking forward to my next visit to share this wonderful winery with friends.

What a lovely winery! The ambience is great! Highly recommend.

Got to do the tasting with the owner! Learned a lot about how he does his fermentation. They have a lot of single varietal wines. Everything we had was outstanding. The white was clean, light, and refreshing. His rosé was very balanced with a very light tinge of red. I was lucky that the ones he poured are some of my personal favorites: Cabernet Franc and Petite Sirah. His wines really let the natural grape characteristics shine through. Everyone talks about Forgiveness and it is a well balanced dessert wine (that doesn't go overboard into syrupy sweetness) that lingers for a bit, like a sweet memory. His Spring Peach and Winter Raspberry, also dessert wines, really shine with strong clean fruit flavor. The peach you can taste that it's a white peach in there. The raspberry doesn't go into the cough syrup side but stays true to a late season full of flavor berry. For me the pinnacle of the tasting was the 99 Surrender Chocolate and Strawberry Syrah Port. For anyone who does chocolate or fruit with their port - no need with this!! There is a hint of the cacao flavor (not that chocolate milk or bitter chocolate overpowering) the strawberry is the perfect ripe fruit that blends and complements the full body of the Syrah grape and there's no heavy alcohol feeling or flavor with it. This is the perfect ending to a wonderful meal or just relaxing during a sunset / evening.

This is the BEST wine I’ve ever had. The owner was wonderful to talk to and taught us a lot about the wine making process. I love sweet wine and highly recommend this for other sweet wine lovers (though there’s something for everyone).

I don't know if I've ever been to winery that had so many wine options. There is clearly something for everyone, in this lovely chateau tasting room. There are whites, reds, sparkling, dessert wines & Sherry and Ports. Many of the wines are organically grown.A tasting is $20 which features six wines. Wines may also purchased by the glass. Some of the tastes and flavours, particularly in the category of the dessert wines, are flavors I have never experienced before. I am a big fan of the ports and his Cab Franc.These wines are produced in smaller quantities than large commercial vineyards and yet I still found the prices to be very reasonable considering the quality of the wine.Highly recommend and I will return for more.

Giessinger wine is really the best ever ! Wine tasting with Eduard is beyond a regular WT experience.We met Eduard at Taste of Conejo Chamber event and amazed with his natural french wine. I went to his winery to buy it for my birthday. Winery was full of people. Eduard gave attention to everyone talked about harvesting techniques etc. Then by appointment I came back with co-workers. Eduard impressed all of us. He is actually a doctor/ professor and musician, very knowledgeable and passionate about his wines. He said that he puts his name on each bottle and he cares about each bottle. He told us about every wine we have tasted there. Every wine has a story. Taste is amazing and unique! No sugar added! Normally wine gives me an allergy (even$300bottle wine lol) like i get itchy ears, stuffy nose, sleepy, headche. But this amazing wine did not get me non of those! No allergy from Giessinger wine! My fav is the Raspberry! Jolie, Forgiveness, Orange, Peti sirah, apple cider wines are amazing too!Experience amazing there! I look forward to bring my friends there too?

Edouard is phenomenal! Such a great host and extremely knowledgeable. He walked us through how he picks and makes all of his wines. Very enjoyable experience. Would def come here again! Plus the wines or delicious

What a super find…..a knowledgeable person (Shelby) pouring wine at the tasting without being condescending! Great pairings, live music, reasonably priced wine! I’m in heaven! QuietHarvest Host spaces!

Friendly and great pours!

This Winery has the most obliging and mindful clerks and chaperons that will help you. I truly cherished their wines!

I was able to taste some of the best wines I have ever had. The knowledge and the history of each wine was shared by the owner. If you are even close to the area I highly recommend tasting some wine here.

Fun, friendly spot with some nice wines too!

A nice assortment of quality wines, very friendly staff, roomy indoor and outdoor space, and good music. A true hidden gem on the T.O./Westlake border.

Amazing winery! First time going and instantly was welcomed, amazing wines. Had a blast! One of the best nights ive had in long time!! I couldn't be happier with experience! Lots of laughs!!

While visiting CA we wanted to do a wine tasting. Googled wineries near me and Geissinger Wine Cellars popped up so, we decided to try it. Four young ladies were there for a birthday celebration. They were instantly engaging and allowed us to be part of their celebration. The birthday gal is a wine club member. She raved about the port and about the owner, Edward.

Edward was so knowledgeable and passionate about his wines. The wines were quite unique and Edward was quite entertaining as we progressed through the tasting. The port was light and not syrupy. A squeeze of lemon gave the sherry a completely different and wonderful taste. I don’t like hard cider but their carbonated hard cider was outstanding. Forgiveness was really good too and has a story behind the name.

After our tasting we asked for a nearby restaurant recommendation and were given a few options. We ended up going to Tuscany where we had a fantastic Italian dinner.

We had the best time! I would give Edward 10 stars if I could.
