Visited this winery on a wine tour. The winery had some tables setup for our group to be seated for our tasting experience and lunch. Unfortunately some of the other guests on our tour were treated awful in front of the entire group by the supposed owner Fernando. The ladies ask a question and he immediately replied with a catty remark telling them they needed to sit at the 2 designated tables and that they didn’t need to sit together because “this isn’t high school”. The entire tour group witnessed this, to which he then proceeded to say “the door works both ways…”. We hadn’t been here more than 10 mins. The vibe change. The tour went from fun and lively to quiet and cautious. He later also made a few rude comments to some of us while the food was being handed out and someone asked a question about what they ordered for lunch. None of which warranted a rude response to simple questions. It was an easy decision to not buy any products from this guy even despite his poor attempt to salvage potential business from this group of 28. There’s more but the bottom line is that he was rude and while I’d like to say his product spoke for itself, it doesn’t. Will never return here.
Came for a birthday trip. Host with gray and white beard (Hispanic male) was extremely rude to my group. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time with such a rude host.
This is the worst place ever. Manager is very disrespectful and obnoxious. If I could give zero star I would but I get one it is.
We went on this wine tour a big grupo of 14 on 07/26/2025 and when we arrived they served us food and we started praying and the manager got upset because we were praying and started yelling at us and telling us that he only talks to men as if we were trash. We will never return to this place and I do not recommend it to anyone.
If I could leave zero stars to this place, I would, but I guess One it is. Racist disrespectful nauseous Manager, threatened to call the police while we were smoking a cigar outside and listening to music at a low volume . My group was giving Grace for our Food and he was bothered by it. I paid for the service. This was not free. I came to have a good time. This is definitely not it.
After driving an hour and a half in the rain. We got there to discover they are not opening at the time stated on the website. Nor at their business hour sign stated. As we are just lowly commoners. I will not waste my time, or money at this disorganized business.
The wine is great, but I can never get anybody to return emails or calls. I don’t recommend signing up for their wine subscription.
First, I went in on a tour. I love the wine tasting. I ordered a bottle to my house came the very next day. The wine is really good.
Nice little spot for unique wine. Chariots of Fire is my personal favorite!
This wine taste like Jesus. If you have never felt his presence, you just might after drinking a glass of this one. ❤️❤️❤️

Our bachelorette group loved this place. Staff were kind and the wine was the best we tried. Highly recommend.
I had a wonderful experience here! I came here for my bachelorette and had a wonderful time. The service was exceptional and the wine was delicious! I highly highly recommend this place!
Great staff very generous and personable
We were the only ones in the main building a few days ago so customer service was great. The owner served us and he was wonderful. Talked about his winery and other aspects of his life in Israel. Enjoyable experience. Dog friendly inside but we left them in the truck to nap. Will return.
We are road tripping for two weeks over the Christmas holiday and ended up here on Christmas Day. April and I had the opportunity to spend Christmas with the owner Nitzan. We tasted his wine and olive oil that is all imported from Israel. We were privileged to learn about his homeland and experience some exciting personal family news all while breaking bread and tasting wine. We are so happy Christmas Day put us here. There are so many massive wineries on this stretch of highway but this smaller boutique atmosphere was way more our style. Nitzan mentioned they have been renovating their B&Bs on the property so we are thinking about staying there on the tail end of our road trip.
The coolest part about the experience is Nitzan seems to be a straight shooter. He’s not sugar coating or bending over backwards for you to try to sell you his wine. He seems to be in the retirement phase which in my opinion makes for a more genuine experience and encounter vs. some somalier type person with a fake persona and scripted demonstration. We had an awesome time all around! Thank you Nitzan for letting us in during the holidays.
