10 months agoHad an absolutely AMAZING experience doing the Chateau wine tasting with my sister today! Peter was so knowledgeable on every wine we tasted and also so much fun to talk with! We shared many laughs and felt right at home. It was a lovely afternoon - we felt like we could have stayed for the entire day. We had a small cheese board with our tasting which was delicious and after our tasting we stayed for a deli sandwich and a couple macaroons which were just as amazing as well! Sipping wine while overlooking one of the vineyards was fantastic. We will absolutely be back!

5 months agoAll around, a fabulous experience. The grounds are beautiful, well-tended, and nicely arranged. Our host, Jeff, was both knowledgeable and accessible. He talked about the wines, the area, the winery, and suggested hiking, food, and attractions for our trip. We joined the club because we will buy the wine and the discount is great. We loved this visit and will tell our friends. 10/10 will come back!

2 years agoOne of our favorite wineries visits we in Sonoma and Napa! Jessie our wine educator was simply wonderful and pleasant. The wines in the tastings were by far the best in any of the wineries we've visited. This is a smaller winery with a French touch, and the grounds were magnificent!
