We had to kill some time waiting to connect with friends during our recent visit to Wine Country so reserved two spots at St. Francis's Food and Wine Paring. Since only their mass produced wines seem to be exported to the East Coast, our expectations were not high. We were greeted by a hostess who poured a delicious glass of... More

Didn't have high expectations for their wine because we've only tasted their mass produced wines, but we actually enjoyed a reserved Zin. The bonus was the wine pourer was very informative and helpful, pouring a few not included in our Visa signature and Estate tasting. More

I loved this winery. I was there on a very sunny Sunday morning and tried 5 excellent wines. The building is beautiful and the outdoor patio and garden is an excellent spot to sit back and enjoy the wine and small plates offered (try the Meritage). The scenery from the garden is exceptional with great views of the vineyard stretched... More

Just had a bottle of their wine last night at a Bar-b-Que with friends and enjoyed it as much as we did the wine tasting there. We also had a wonderful port we bought from the winery. Have a wonderful time while you are there. More

If you are a Chardonnay fan, I hope you love St. Francis as much as I do. They have so many choices to taste. I'll be going there next week when I have visitors coming to town. Will review more later. More

St Francis offers two wine and food pairings - full lunch or a charcuterie. We had the charcuterie with three wines, which was wonderful. The wines were well chosen to complement the food and all were yummy. I am still dreaming about the apricots in vanilla. More

I purchased the Wine and Food pairing for half price through an online site. The experience would have been worth double the full price! The food was outstanding, some of the most beautiful grounds of any vineyards, and the staff was exceptional. I would highly recommend any of the pairing options. The wine compliments and changes the taste of the... More
