We did the Oracle tasting where you get to create your own blend it was amazing! Mostly because Danny was amazing! So knowledgeable and so passionate he made the tasting. I would highly recommend the winery and if you can get Danny even better!

Yelp, put back my ORIGINAL review of Miner Family Winery, you have yet to do that. The one that is on your board is not the original. Please stop taking down honest reviews.

I have been a wine club member at Miner for almost 2 years now. I came in this past weekend with my mother and sister. It was their first time at Miner and they had a fabulous experience. The last time I was here we had a gentleman named John, this time we had a gentleman named Danny. Danny was funny and witty and really enjoyable to be with. He taught us a lot of great things we didn't know about wine tasting, like how you should sniff the wine. We were in the cave, for wine members your tasting fee is waived. I look forward to continue being a member and coming back for many more fabulous
