Toulouse Vineyards & Winery — Attraction in Ukiah

Awsome experience!! We are in the wine industry and have gone here several times before (indeed they are one of our favorites) when I was trying to get directions (the drive way can approach fast, so having google give updates is helpful). I noticed their reviews 4.9 stars with 112 reviews REALLY!! I know they are great, but those are some enviable stats. Well, they deserve every one of them!!!! I have alwaysed liked them but I left today telling my husband, I was going to review the heck out of them because they deserved it. The wines like always were quite good and the botanical infused wines are fun and something different.... but the staff!!!! WOW. We had my 15 moth old (do you know how hard it is to enjoy a tasting with a toddler!!!!!) They made it a great experience for him to (happy toddler ment I got to enjoy the time). The owner came in while we were there too and we over heard the friendly light hearted banter he had with his staff.... must be what sets to tone for the friendly above and beyond, welcoming accommodating atmosphere. The deck is also lovely.... don't doubt their stars they earned every one of them and prob deserve more! Truly a must stop (remember the driveway can creep up on you)!! Thank you for making our vastly too infrequent time out so...

What a gem! I feel bad letting the secret out, but this might be the best Pinot I've ever had...

There's a lot of good wine out there. Even less great wine. I'd consider this stop exceptional, at least for my palate.

Perhaps one the best views in the valley also, with the curves of the river below. On a windy day, I could see it being a little crazy on the outside patio.

Dog friendly was a huge plus. They were super accommodating midweek with a large group and children, with no reservations.

Tasting consisted of a Pinot Gris, a Rose, 2 Pinots, and a merlot. A bonus Pinot was included at the end. Pinots were a tiny bit sweeter and a little more new oak than Domaine Anderson,

We purchased a few bottles, including the 2018 Barrel Select (phenomenal) and I've already suggested this place to a few wine nerds and industry folk.

I can't...

At the risk of letting more people know how great the wine is here I leave this review. Not only does Vern create my favorite Pinot, but he has managed to consistently find great people to help him create great experiences enjoying his wine that put wine 2-3x the price to shame. Leave it to a retired Fire Fighter to take care of people and create an environment that allows you to appreciate his ability to do the simple things well and create a product that leaps over his “high end” local competitors at a price that is attainable to the average person. We’ve been members for 5+ years and recently relocated. We were greeted with the attached gift when we opened our latest case purchase/investment and we couldn’t be more pleased to be a member of the...
