Koehler Winery — Attraction in California

We visited today and while the grounds looked pleasant, unfortunately we were 'greeted' by the owners 2 overly friendly dogs charging at us and our dog We are trying to train our dog to be dog neutral so we can bring her with us wine tasting so super disappointing to visit a winery where the owner's dogs are off leash.

And although the owner tried to put them away (try is the key word as the dogs had poor recall) we just left without tasting a thing. We should not have to ask for any off leash dogs in this setting to stop harassing us to sit down calmly at a table. Ridiculous.

If we wanted to this we would bring a bottle in a brown bag to a local dog park. We went down the road to a professional winery that welcomed us and others with dogs without us being uncomfortable.

If you have dogs, only come here if you want a dog park like...

Loved this spot, went back last two times I've stayed up there and will continue to go back! Summary: Wine is good, we left with the bottles of the rose. Super chill vibe, good music playing beautiful natural grounds with plenty of places to sit and have a picnic. Hosts are welcoming and no nonsense.

This great family winery is both beautiful and a happy place to be. They have you sit anywhere you want and you come back up to the counter for your next tasting, or you can purchase a bottle. You can bring your own food and sit in a shady spot, there's lots of places to sit with a view of the vineyards.

Side note: check out the Emus in the corral at the bottom...

Friends revealed this charming winery with delicious wines on a recent visit. Dan is a hoot, and knowledgeable about the wine. The grounds are gorgeous with a nice patio for tasting. While indoors was not currently in use, it's spacious and inviting.

Now for the wine. By far, my favorite was their 2017 Sangiovese. I also recommend their 2018 Sauvignon Blanc, 2016 Syrah, and 2017 Grenache. I have to mention especially their 2019 Rose of Grenache, which is the best Rose I have ever had. I gifted a few bottles to my sister. We ordered a mixed case and are still enjoying.

Enjoy Koehler wine, and drink in the beautiful views and the good...
