VJB Vineyard & Cellars

Emily Hernandez

This place was at best mid. The staff was somewhat rude. Our party arrived, a large trolley group of 27 with reservations, they staff made an issue and argued with guests about splitting up individual parties of two. The wine was okay, definitely could do a lot better at some of the other family wineries. They have a gift shop with packaged food and drink to buy too which might be nice to stop at. The best part here is the gelato, where the staff is really nice. There's no views, just a small patio area to walk around.

I had taken my parents to VJB cellars to have a nice Mother's Day lunch but we left hungry. We ordered two sandwiches and a vegetarian pizza, and we liked the pizza enough to order another. However, when we got the second pizza, it had no cheese on it. Here is a summary of what happened when we asked why there was no cheese on our pizza: - We were initially told that the ingredients rotated and cheese wasn't on the ingredient list for the pizza at the moment. Considering that we had just eaten the exact same pizza and also read the sign inside saying what was on the vegetarian pizza at the moment, we were fairly certain that cheese was an ingredient. - We were then told that we had ordered a pizza with no cheese. All we had said was that we had ordered a vegetarian pizza and our receipt said that too. Nowhere did it say "no cheese". - We were told that they would remake our pizza and bring it out. When they brought it out again, it was the same pizza we had gotten initially with little pieces of cheese that had clearly been added on top melted and a burnt crust. Entirely unappealing and inedible. - After going inside and talking to more staff, we were told that the person who took our order had been new and made a mistake. Then why would you lie to us multiple times about a) the ingredients changing, b) us ordering a pizza with no cheese, and c) the fact that you were going to remake our pizza? In the end, we had our order cancelled and refunded, but not after wasting our time trying to get a second pizza and getting lied to by staff. All they had to do was say sorry, own up to their mistake, and fully remake our pizza initially, but clearly that was too difficult for them to accomplish. Also, the sandwiches were overpriced for what they were - which was taken right out of a display case and pressed before being brought to us - nothing special about them.

Our favorite winery! It’s why we usually choose Sonoma over Napa when deciding where to visit. We love Italian wine, and VJB is straight out of Italy. Their Barbera is our favorite. We also love the Montepulciano. Their food is fantastic, as they make their own cheese in house and use it on their delicious brick oven pizza. They have fantastic gelato as well. Stop in for lunch and a tasting, no reservations required!

Good wine and food. Not too many vineyards have a good food menu but this one does.
