"We had the best time at J. Lohr winery - our very first stop for wine tasting! Since it was supposed to be a hot day, we got an early start and it worked out perfectly. We sat out on the back patio with the prettiest view of rolling hills and vineyards. Our Wine Associate, Geraldine, was amazing! She honestly made the whole experience. No other tasting we did even came close to the one we had with her. Such a perfect way to kick off our weekend. We definitely will be back!"
