Villa Catalana Cellars

This place is absolutely gorgeous but the wine tasting experience was not what I expected. We reserved a time slot for wine tasting at 3pm but did not realize you have to wait in a line to get each one. They also close at 4pm so we were rushing in order to get through the tasting before they closed. Once you find an open table you have to walk back to get wine, walk back to your table, then the tastings are so small you take a couple sips then have to walk back to get the next one. Sure you can buy a bottle of wine but I wanted to try them all before I chose one. I also didn't want to just go through the line, drink it, and get back in it. I wanted to sip it somewhere pretty. By the time we got through the tasting it was almost closing time so I didn't bother getting a bottle. The way the wine tasting is set up just doesn't make for a very relaxing experience. They should give you small flights to take to your table so you aren't running back and forth the entire time. That would have made the experience much more enjoyable. It was lovely exploring the grounds. I just wish it was more of a relaxing experience.

We had a great time wine tasting here. The scenery was beautiful, and the grounds were welcoming as you walked around finding a good spot to drink your wine. Their tasting room is an outdoor area with a few tables and plants all around, setting a Tuscany like scene. The owner and his family were friendly and perfectly handled the very busy day of people flooding in. We ordered a pizza, which was good and found a wine we liked, their Cabernet, but most of their wines are very sweet. Their bottles were also more affordable than most vineyards. Thank you for a great experience!

Came here yesterday with some friends for a tasting, what a spectacular place!! 6 tastings for $15 and the views/service was amazing. We really enjoyed the 2019 sweet Pinot noir and the Cascade Berry Liqueur. They serve pizza and allow outside food so next time I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Was disappointed to find out that the “wood fired” pizza is actually from Costco, lol. I would still eat it but it would be cooler if they did it themselves or bought local. Will definitely be here again! It was nice to relax and see other people and meet lots of dogs! We will be here soon!

Be warned: Making a reservation online does not guarantee you a table. You arrive and they tell you to walk the grounds looking for a table. They do not serve you wine at your table; you have to get up after each tasting and go back to the front area to get the next wine. We felt this should've been made clear when you make a reservation. They way overbooked themselves on a beautiful Saturday and we had to sit next to a couple of screaming bachelorette parties until we could finally find a better table (we moved three times). Good for large groups, but annoying for smaller ones who have to sit next to them. The wine is perfectly fine but they tell you nothing about each one, and they pour you about two sips of each. If you're looking for a gorgeous place to walk around and take photos, this place really is picturesque. (Birds, ponds, gazebos, cows.) But if you're looking for a relaxed wine tasting experience with knowledgeable servers, this is not it.
