"Excellent venue to drink wine. Outdoors is perfect for relaxing and enjoying some food. If you are looking for an early evening experience, I recommend trying The Walls. Wonderful staff, Taylor and Todd and Andrea were very helpful. Jess did a great job on my food. Thanks to Danielle for the recommendation."
Curtis Lysher
"Such a beautiful tasting room. Highly recommend making reservations as this place does get busy. Taylor was taking care of us and she was amazing and SO friendly. We were greeted with their Rośe which they are sold out of but you can purchase them in plastic versions vs bottles, which I referred to as adult Caprisun. They have a great food menu and pizza is made freshly on the spot. They do a great job in catering for allergies. We had 6 tastings ranging from Chardonnay to Grenache to cabs. I'm not a Chardonnay person but theirs wasn't as bad. Their Grenache and rośe was my favorite. Tasting is waived after purchasing bottles. Everyone here was super friendly. Very nice decor, clean and ample parking spots."

"Delicious wines and food. We did the tasting flight with spicy pep pizza and potato mushroom pizza (I’ll be dreaming of this for a while!) and the grains and greens. The patio was beautiful, and they brought plenty of water and pats for our pup. All incredible, service was fantastic from the details around every wine to the chef checking in on our meal. 10/10 recommend!"
