$18 for a tiny piece of average quiche and a poorly dressed salad that contained slimy lettuce leaves. Views are beautiful but don't come here to eat. Was expecting something a little classier for the price point. Will add, we complained to the lovely waitress and she gave us a bottle of wine as compensation.
Went with eight family members, half locals and half visitors. Loved the wine tasting and the lunch!

The wines are some of our favorites. After a few visits and bringing someone new we decided to try the Bistro huge mistake. The server was great. The food was terrible. The calamari could have used so salt and pepper but was good. The chili was super sweet and not very good. The cubans missing sauce and kinda dry. Fries were amazing. The corn fritters were extremely over cooked and was a ton of breading and just a couple kernels of corn. The fish was so over cooked it felt like you were going to break your teeth and tasted so fishy we couldn't eat it. The kids pizza tasted like some dollar store microwave pizza and was burned. Plus my Niece never got the ice cream sandwich that was supposed to come with her meal. Yes we could have asked for it but by that time we were done and just wanted to be out of there. Will be going bqck for wine only. Never again for food.

Service was good enough, but the food was incredibly bland. We got the salmon with risotto, and the risotto didn't even taste salted. The wine tastings and offerings were good, but for the high price tag the food is not worth it.

It was ok. Feel like the sandwiches are made ahead and then warmed when ordered. Nice sitting outside with a great view, however.

We came in at about noon on a rainy (sprinkling) Friday. We summer in this area so we are around a lot. We asked to be seated outside. There were 2 of us. She said “you can sit outside and get wet” I said can we sit on the porch she said no again. You can sit at the picnic tables and get wet. So I asked is there room on the porch she said no. I said is the 4 top available she said it is for larger parties. I said we really can’t sit there she said no. I really wanted to leave but hubby wanted a glass of Diamond so we stayed. Then the table next to us (4) complained it was to cold so their waitress asked if they would like to sit on the porch?? Really!! We ordered. Plenty of staff walking around in fact one young female blonde was walking around eating a bowl of pasta. When I go to a winery for lunch I expect it to be a nice atmosphere with good food. I ordered the Cuban panini. It would have been good except it was cold in the middle. I believe they put cold meat on it and thought the grilling would have warmed it through but it didn’t. The French fries were awesome and hubbys fried fish sandwich was good. The young waitresses standing around discussing who had what table and why just added to the loudness of the room wich is loud with no ambiance to start with. Just overall disappointing and rude

I give four stars because the view is amazing here. We were there right at lunch time on a Friday. Even then it was starting to get extremely busy. Inside was very loud. As cool as it was we opted to sit outside. Initially the service was good and we got out food fairly quickly. Then the waitress must have gotten really busy because after I got the check she didn’t come back for quite some time. We ended up being there a lot longer than we thought. We were going to do a wine tasting after lunch but it was way too busy and we decided to leave. They also only had one bathroom stall each for men and women so there were lines with all the people there. Nice place but very busy.
