My friend and I did the winter cave tour and I would absolutely recommend it! We got to learn about how the vineyard has worked hard to maintain sustainable farming practices! We were the only ones who booked it (Thursday early afternoon) and our host, Kat was wonderful! She taught us so much about the vineyard/wine. The wine was amazing and Kat made sure we had an unforgettable experience. Definitely will be back!!

This place was highly recommended by a friend of mine so stopped by last minute. Blown away by the scenery around the vineyard. Everyone was super cool and we were able to buy a bottle and given a few glasses to enjoy the wine around the winery. The Zinfandel was highly recommended and thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend this place!

From the photo, you will see that our view was lovely. Carol, our wine host, was wonderful, and we enjoyed learning about the label and the family. The tasting was good. Here’s why one star. After an hour of enjoying the story and the place, we stopped in the gift shop. We wanted to continue our support with a gift shop purchase. My daughter and I both chose something to buy only to be told we couldn’t purchase one of our items because we were not members. So I paid your tasting fee, enjoyed your wine, but I’m not worthy to buy a hat? Poor job, BunGun. I’ll not return and let everyone know

Was there as a party of 2 on a Friday around 3pm. We did a tasting experience so 4 wines. The tasting is outside and it was very busy. About 3-4 larger groups (8-10 people) and a handful of smaller (2-3 people) groups when we arrived. Our server seemed overwhelmed. Most of these tasting they fill your glass one at a time then come back with the next wine in about 10-15 minutes. Our server took a bit longer in between but did pour a bit more generously (maybe to make up for the long wait times). The wines were super good and the grounds were so beautiful. However, I'd consider what day & time you

Honestly, I had not heard of this winery (there are so many!) but our tour bus stopped in for a visit on a very hot August day. The two ladies that greeted us with wine glasses and walked us through the tasting were very knowledgeable but it took a while for anyone to recommend that we could go sit (we were standing in the really hot sun). In all fairness, members of our group were also asking a lot of questions. It was interesting to hear about their history and the technology they use. We enjoyed the wines and especially a taste of the reserve wine they brought out. Too bad we didn't have

We had Nora take us on the vineyard tour and her knowledge of the vineyard, family and farming was truly fascinating and educational. She is awesome- such an asset to the winery- and we would highly recommend both the tour and Nora as your guide.

We did the vineyard & cellar tour with some of our out of town, new-to-wine relatives and had a great time! Our tour guide Win was laid back, fun and informative. We appreciated how much of a genuine wine lover Win was- he inspired us to start trying wines from all over the world and really reignited our interest in learning about wine. And we got 5 delicious pours in a beautiful setting!

This is by far my favorite winery. The atmosphere is very relaxed. Some wineries are very snobby. This winery is all about relaxing and enjoying the scenery and the bonus is some of the best wine made. Multiple area to enjoy your wine so you never feel crowded..which is VERY important nowadays!

Probably one of the worst wineries visited over the course of a weekend visiting wineries in Napa and Sonoma. Selling chilled bottled of white wines and Rosé with no ice buckets or ice sleeves for chilling the wine. The food options were limited and pretty low quality, especially given the price (photo of the Caprese Sandwich attached). Providing guests with lukewarm water with no ice. We made a reservations but all the open tables had dirty glasses on them and clearly were not being cleaned between groups. Given the California heat during the day, pretty disappointing and made the experience

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Extremely relaxed setting and an awesome place to bring your dog and children. Since this place does allow dogs/children, if that is not your vibe then keep that in mind.

I brought my Pomeranian with us, there was plenty of shade and seating options. My party of 4 had reservations at the Donkey bar which is a little further back on the property but was set up with it's own mobile restroom so you didn't have to walk back up to the main picnic area.

The tasting was $40 which provided a nice vertical of 5 offerings. You're using the same glass for the

Highly recommend booking the underground cave wine tasting + food pairing. We had barrels of fun in Gun Bun's unique underground cave experience.

The following exceptional wines were poured for us:

- 2013 Merlot
- 2014 Estate Cabernet Franc (my favorite) one can really taste the dark chocolate
- 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2012 Vintage Reserve
- 2013 Vintage Reserve

Every sip of wine paired deliciously well with the spiced Marcona almonds, prosciutto, and cheese.  The grounds are immaculate, and it's the oldest family-owned winery in CA. It's dog-friendly, and there are concerts

Came with a group of friends and we had a good time. It's a cute and casual place however, quite different from a typical wine country winery. The place had a bit of a music festival vibe to it.

I had reservations at the Arbor bar however, the seats were at a first come first served basis seating. It was a hot & sunny day, so most of the shaded spots were taken up fast but we managed to grab one mid-way in. Tasting flights are not mandatory which we liked, we ended up getting a bunch of bottles. There is no proper service, you go and order your own drinks from the bar.

The wines were

We had reservation for a wine tour at 2:00 pm a Friday and it was a nice day to do wine tasting. I forgot the name of our tour guide, but he was very friendly and knowledgeable. We got to experience the cave tour where we learned about the history and wine. It felt very nice to be in the cave and we learned that it is naturally cool inside. We also got to experience the vineyard and learned about the grapes. The wine tasting was really good during our tour and we all ended up buying some wine. Overall, it was a good experience and nice winery to do a tour.

Updating my review:

Nikki the manager was so kind to reach out to me after my previous visit that and offered a complimentary tasting. I decided to take her up on the offer and am so glad I did. I came back with my man for our anniversary. We had Kevin as our host and he was truly amazing! He made the entire experience very special for us two and we had a much better time here. We sat near the area with a view of the water. We tasted sooo many yummy wines I was shocked to find out they had such a large selection since our previous experience we were limited. We were so pleased we left with 3 bottles

I'm so happy we decided to visit this winery. Our host was lovely, and she was attentive and kind. She took the time to tell us about the history of this winery. She recommended a few other wines to try that's not part of the flight.

As a last minute try, we added their two reds. One was a 2015 reserve and y Hubby really enjoyed it more than the rest. It was reasonably priced, and glad to be able to purchase a bottle. Per our host, they only had a few left. Had one of their white wine bottle as well.

Due to COVID, their charcuterie is help yourselves with what's inside the fridge

One of the oldest wineries in the area and such a tranquil and lovely place. Love how they have tried to keep the area, although it's become touristy. Would definitely recommend calling in advance to get a tasting on the outside patio (reservations only) otherwise they have a few standing spots inside or a pop-up bar on the outside where you can have wine by the glass and walk around the grounds.
