I made a reservation at winery 32 with a couple of friends and all I can say is there is definitely room for improvement. Upon arrival we were greeted by less than friendly staff who immediately jumped into the rules we must follow. Being in the midst of a pandemic I fully expected the guidelines of mask wearing and changes to the venue to be reviewed. Instead they went further to explain the each person was required to order at least one bottle of wine or 1 flight each. Being responsible adults, we stated that we had one designated driver with us so they would not be able to get a bottle of wine. They promptly responded with that they would have to get a bottle to take home because we must meet the “minimum purchase”. It is extremely disgusting to see that they don’t respect that a party would come with a designated driver. The mannerism of the staff must improve for this to be a successful establishment in the future. It is disappointing to leave a place feeling like an unappreciative customer. Simply put the view was beautiful but staff was rude and condescending. I hope to be able to try winery 32 again in the future when customer service improves and the staff give us the time of day.

Visited Winery 32 on a Saturday morning right at opening time. It was not only our first winery out of five for the day, but one of our two favorites. Flight/bottle prices were fair and the service was very friendly. Their menu looked great but we weren't ready for lunch yet. Lovely view, very clean, and we loved the fact that the winery, chef, and artwork were all members of the family. The story of "32" was nice too. We will be back.

I am appalled. I should have listened to the recent reviews. Crooks! I think there were more pages of “rules” than for a car loan! And to force the designated driver to purchase a bottle of wine? Shameful! Very telling that none of these concerns have been addressed with responses.... Potential patrons beware.

I was the designated driver and even though I paid for a food dish and a bottle of water, they tried to require me to also purchase $15 worth of wine—their 2 pages of rules say every person must buy a flight or a bottle. The waiter was fine to let it slide but then the manager came over and gave us a hard time about it. I’ve been to a lot of vineyards and never experienced the business basically forcing drinking and driving.

Great atmosphere. Tried a red flight: cab sav, cab franc, petit verdot. Red wine was very, very dry and they all tasted incredibly similar to one another. Would not get these reds again. Ordered tacos, a pork arepa, and chickpeas with butternut squash. Chickpea dish was fire. They don't treat designated drivers well as you have to pay for water and oddly, there is a minimum amount each person must pay.

I wish I would have read reviews more carefully. I agree with Ella, that you would think good wine would sell itself, but apparently they have to force you to buy it. I came with my pregnant wife and they said that she had to buy a bottle as well! Really? My wife and I travel to breweries and wineries a lot and have NEVER run into that. Also...during covid times you would think everyone would be masked. But the chef...yes the chef who was cooking all of the food was unmasked the entire time while he was making the food. Didn't seem like the best idea. We will not return.

I’m not one to write reviews, however, this winery was a major disappointment to our weekend romantic wine tour. I’d like to start by saying the restaurant gives your two pages of instructions and you should read carefully before entering. Every person that sits down needs to buy either a flight or bottle of wine. My husband the designated driver was basically forced to buy a bottle of wine because he was sitting with me. I found this a bit outrageous. If their wine was stellar it would sell itself, but clearly it unanimously falls short.
We went on a Sunday afternoon. Great views, quiet (we went on a non-kids day), and very relaxing. Kids are allowed on Fridays, but Saturdays and Sundays are all for the grownups! Views and service are fantastic. Also, wines and flights are nicely priced so you can go, enjoy, and still not go too far in debt for a relaxing afternoon. The food was nicely offered and ok, but def isn't the reason you go. BUT, the BlackBerry merlot sangria IS a reason to make sure you hit this place! Wow!!

Wonderful views. Staff is awesome. Wine and sangria are yummy. Wish the bistro menu had snacks (cheeses, hummus, spreads) instead of just meals. Was a bit to hot to eat butternut squash raviolis.

Kids only allowed on Fridays(?) so we show up on Saturday and immediately have to reload to go somewhere else. Zero people on the patio. F this place.

It’s ADULTS only!! During urge weekends, so that you know before you go. We wasted our time coming here, specially when it’s not a popular place with many places around.
