Sorry to give this place a 1 star rating because this place is actually really beautiful from what we could see from the front entrance. We had our 3yr old son with us and they did not let us in to even do wine tasting. Absolutely no kids allowed. So if you have kids with you and thinking about going wine tasting, do not go to this place.

Drove 2hrs away to check it out (even tho I live too close to wineries) coz its our birthday week. Nice man made lake. Wines to pricey (product found at Costco and way cheaper). Business is business for this so called WINERY. No appetizer... bummer! but theres food truck which was pricey as well. BEWARE: Owner not FRIENDLY :(

Nice setting alongside the manmade pond and simple deck. The wines are nice but the tasting came in plastic wine glasses and I think that really took away from the real taste of the wines. Not to mention the tasting pours looked very light handed in the large tasting glasses. Maybe get a smaller tasting glass too. But if you buy a bottle you can get real glasses so thats a bonus. We did a bottle of the Barbara it was the nicest of the reds and for the sparking I loved the pomegranate sparking- I am usually not a sparkling guy but this one was so juicy and fresh I loved it. Overall a special

This place has so much character! Besides great wine flights, they also have a lake for water skiing, Adirondack chairs and tables on the beach, food, and live music! A must see if driving the long 99 Hwy for sure! We would hang here frequently, if we didn't live in WA state!! CHEERS to the owners and fantastic staff!

Did the wine tasting both reds and whites. $10 to $15 each. Did not finish the samples. Glass prices are $10 which is $$. Bottle prices are $30 which is $$ and puts these Lodi and Foothills wines up there with Acquiesce and Bokisch to which there is no comparison. The flavored sparkling at $30 made by Weibel - Lodi can be found at Costco for under $10. Here they get $30. Our server kept calling it Champagne when its really Sparkling made with the Charmat Process. Come here to hang and drop $$. We spent $85 for a tasting and two glasses of Sauv Blanc.

Such wonderful hosts, with amazing aqua blue water. I would love to sit here on a nice summer evening, listening to Boney James, Rick Braun, Peter White, Kirk Whalum, Gerald Albright and others perform live. I will pay $160 a ticket with a bottle of fre wine. In the VIP area mingling with the artist, be willing to pay 250.
