cooper garrod vineyards

Small vineyard and not very busy but staff was very attentive and nice. Beautiful views of surrounding area as you are up in the mountians

Did standing up wine testing due to no chairs in tasting room. Lots of dead silence between me and the pourer. Awkward. Wine was good.

I think the atmosphere is super pleasant, as evinced by the multitudes of patrons flocking here for Mother's Day. And the wine is really quite good, especially for a smaller establishment. The tasting room is SRO, though, and when they get busy it definitely *feels* busy-- not such a personal experience. I also wish they would credit your tasting fee toward the bottle you buy, if you decide to buy one, as is common practice in wine country.Still, I really want to come back for the horseback ride and wine tasting/breakfast buffet event they have the last Sunday of each month. Horses AND wine?? That might just make for a five-star review!
