Tolenas Winery — Attraction in Fairfield

We came here for a mother's day celebration with a reservation. We showed up slightly early and the very nice hostess seated us after we told her she didn't have to. Not a moment later, the supposed manager stomps up to us and began rudely inquiring why we were at our table. Before I could explain that we were seated by YOUR employee... She cut me off. Couldn't get a word in! What a way to start a mother's day celebration! She later came back and apologized for being so rude and said they were short staffed. They should treat their paying customers better!

Fair warning: the venue itself is nice and there is a ton of shaded space. However, if you're in a small 2-person party - you'll likely get seated in an unshaded death beam in direct sunlight. I would recommend coming with a larger group of people.

The wine itself is pretty good. Our server was great and doing her best.

This hidden gem on the back side of Napa Valley is a must-stop. Lisa, the winemaker, is a second-generation winemaker who left to be an engineer for 10 years and then returned to her roots. It's clearly a calling; her wines are balanced and yet unique. Every one was a joy to try!

I tend to like reds better, but bought a bottle of her Sauvignon Blanc; it was that good! Crisp and refreshing; perfect on this 76-degree sunny spring day.

The service was great (and more impressive based on how busy they were that day!) but the sweet girl who served me brought such delightful intel on the wines, her preferences, and fun family stories.

Do stop in for a tasting; you may find yourself staying all afternoon and leaving with new friends as well as few new wines.

Amazing customer service by all the staff. Great quality wine. We became members right away.

Edit: we keep coming here and enjoying ourselves. This place is a true jewel. Customer service is off the charts and the quality of the wine speaks for itself. Love it.

Still amazing. We got engaged here two weeks ago and today we visited again. I cannot emphasize enough how incredible this place is, why go to Napa when you have this amazing, caring, family owned business right in Fairfield?

Wine options are outstanding. We’re huge fans of Eclipse. Huge respect, and big...
