If you love French-style wines, especially Rhône varietals, you’ll definitely want to check this place out. The wines are amazing, and the whole vibe is relaxed and welcoming.
The setting is gorgeous, with a big patio full of tables and umbrellas. They often have live music, which makes it a fun spot to hang out. They sell great snacks like charcuterie packs, crackers, olives, almonds, and chocolate in the tasting room and there's usually a food vendor on-site.
One of the highlights of visiting is Stevie, one of the wine pourers. She’s super friendly, down to earth, and really knows her stuff when it comes to their wines. She makes the tasting experience fun and approachable, even if you’re not a wine expert.
The owners, Lynn and Mark, are also incredibly kind and welcoming. You can tell they love sharing their beautiful property with others. It’s dog-friendly, too! You’ll often see their own dogs wandering around, and they even have horses and pigs.
Domaine Artefact is a great place to relax, sip some fantastic wine, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. I highly recommended it and look forward to going back...

If you have the type of kids that sit on an iPad and read a book you're good. If you have kids that run around and play, beware. They will not tolerate it and will yell at you. The owner basically gave us an ultimatum and told us to leave. I'm pretty reasonable about our kids. They aren't angels and they aren't devils.. they are normal active boys. This was a disappointing experience and I hope you can go there with a understanding of what kind of establishment they are running. Single people with no kids will be welcomed, otherwise find...
Read moreMind your way there, the road is a bit windy. A little disorganized, 2 pm brought a large crowd with a long line. Unlike most flight packages, you have to go up to the bar for every pour. They sell great olives and crackers but nothing has a listed price, you can only look at prices through the employee iPads. Tours start at 75usd / person. Flights start at 30usd / person and include 4 tastings. Very limited access to the vineyard, you're really just paying for porch seating with a vineyard view. Great live music! Altogether a quaint lax (maybe too lax) establishment. Nice place to relax and unwind, but a bit messy, clunky. No real food...
