The restaurant at the Dornier winery is housed in a historic barn. The grounds are gorgeous and they have a large swing set for kids to play on while parents eat and taste wines. The food is very good with fresh ingredients, but be prepared to wait a L-O-N-G time to get it. It took close to 3 hours to... More

Although on the expensive side, we had such a great time! The food was delicious. And there is enough space for toddlers to run around while adults enjoy the food and wine.

Hi Girafino Thanks for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your visit. Giving visitors access to this amazing setting was exactly what we had in mind when we started the Bodega. To relax while enjoying wines and food with no hurry. Regards, The Dornier Team More

Dornier is a relaxed location to have lunch, plenty to chose from and lovely outside space. The architecture of their new buildings gives an interesting contrast to the traditional homestead building which houses the restaurant.
