Beautiful scenery but very judgemental staff. They asked us if we needed our "gummies" when most of us were in our mid-late 20's just to enjoy the scenery regardless of whether we were drinking or not.

Adorable vineyard but wine is a little bit disappointing, Chardonnay and Rose may be too sweet for me.. Overall is a good place for family and friends gatherings.

Went to the member's pickup party with tasting menu. Their red wines are pretty good but their whites are lacking, a little too watered down. The food was marginal with tiny portions, which for a tasting menu is fine, but it was advertised as a picnic. The event logistics were terrible, multiple seating times but people didn't leave so if you had a later start time the seating was scarce. They had music that was just ok, bad harmonies and lead vocals. Beautiful location overlooking the vineyards.

We always enjoy ourselves here! The view from the lawn and deck are amazing, staff is super helpful and accommodating, oh the wine is great too!

Not a question. Just tasted our '00 Merlot. Awesome. Just at its peak. Well cellered. Nice pinkish color. Not garnet yet. Full front fruit. Dry. Smooth finish. Still got a few of the Late Harvest Zin. Next month!!!!!!!! Steve

Thanks for the note, Steve! The merlot vineyard on our farm consistently produces some of the best Merlot around, we just released the 2017 yesterday! You have to taste our latest 2017 Zin too, it’s the standout vintage in the last decade. Thanks for sharing and let us know how that Zin tastes!

Hi. How can I get information about delivery of a case of wine I purchased this past weekend?

Call them or write them on social media. They are very responsive!

Are they dog friendly?

Dogs under control, but not on the deck. Wolves are frowned upon, however. :)

$5 per person. Your $5 tasting fee is applied to a bottle if you purchase one.

Best wine I ever had. Got a few bottles when we were in Big Bear, quite a few years back. ( before the divorce, ha!) Went back a few years after and couldn't get as many. But still the best.
