Villa Milagro Vineyards

Where do I begin? A scenic train ride to a beautiful winery sounds like a magical experience but it ended up being the train ride to hell. Unfortunately for us , we went during a heat wave and the train ride was unbearable due to it's lack of air conditioning and all the windows do not open. The scenic view is not that scenic as you can barely see the river but get a good view of several homes along the tracks. From there they put us on an un air-conditioned yellow school bus with the owner of the winery who begins explaining the history of the winery. The bus is not equipped for adult passengers. The seats are kid size and our group barely had enough room to sit. After a bumpy ride we arrive at the winery soaking wet from sweat only to have the owner want us to stand in the blazing sun to talk about the vineyard. We're all thinking at least we will be in air conditioning for the tasting, but oh no! We were herded under a canopy with 2 fans blowing hot air around plastic chairs and tables. The owner continues to talk and talk explaining the various wines and finally the tasting if you can call it that. The pour is barely a sip! The owner started pouring for all the guests and after he missed a couple he yelled at young staff to get them wine. It was really uncomfortable to watch. By the time it was over, we had about 25 minutes to spare as that is when the shuttle school bus leaves to take you back to the train or you are stuck at this winery with an owner who definitely is not hospitable. I am writing this only to make others aware that this experience is very misleading and I bet this winery does not get many repeat guests. I have been to many wineries including the Finger Lakes and this by far has been the worst.
