This is a must stop on your visit to the area. The winery is next to a gorgeous creek that the kids (and dogs) love playing in. The wine was so good we got a case to take home. The food selection is limited to some cheeses and very expensive but tasty crackers. The kids had the bottled grape juice and loved it (we had to get them two bottles!) The service was great too!

Great place to visit. Good wines also. The views are fantastic. Lot's of table's and chairs around to relax at. Pet friendly place. Watch out for stupid pet owner's that don't clean up aftet the pet. Watch your step.

The wine was delicious, the scenery amazing. My favorite part is the seating by the brook. So peaceful. Pack a lunch and enjoy...

Beautiful scenery all around. Great staff, and wonderful wine to sample. Only downfall is that you do have to watch where you step... to avoid dog poop. Other than that everything was perfect!

Decent wines that are generally quaffable . The tasting room & grounds in front of the river are very nice to relax and enjoy a bottle. This place can get quite busy and the tasting room staff can be a bit aloof and thrifty with tastings (they use those cheap clickers which barely give you enough to taste) and seemed somewhat reluctant to let you revisit any. Also the pour sheets have no information on the wines whatsoever, so you have to ask about what you are drinking. The wines, while generally good, can get rather pricey (approaching Napa/Sonoma mid-level prices), We had a nice chat with one of the owners as we neared the end of our visit. If you are in the area and enjoy traditional varietals, it's well worth stopping in.
