Wines were not as good as I was hoping for. You are almost there. Love your building and setting. More

This was one stop on a 6 winery tour my husband and I participated in back in November. This was the least favorite of the 6! Staff not friendly or attentive. If you don't want our business, there are plenty of others that do, with far better products! This place is all show, with no heart! Highly recommend instead :Left... More

Smaller and less-frequented tan other wineries in the area but our server was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We didn't feel rushed and learned quite a bit about the region, not just their wines! Wonderful experience. More

the two girls heading our wine tasting were less than informative and slightly arrogant to the point of detouring 14 women away from purchasing wine from them. As the last stop most of us had planned on buying, but lack of charisma changed that quickly. Go for the view. Not for the service. More

Purchase the food plate with your wine(included in the private tour), it will change the wine experience completely. Great pairings! Schedule a private tour, if you have time, you learn so much (couple hours). Plus, their wines are to die for, love the sparkling Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio. Perfect if you like a drier wine. Though they... More
