I go for the wine and for hte performers. They have attracted some of my favorites.

Our friend was just married at Gainey. The location is spectacular, and the outdoor setup for the reception was perfect, with a dance floor in the center. The food was quite good, and the wines were fine. Highly recommended.

We loved the tasting with jim. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We then took a behind the scenes tour. I think her name was janicka.

Good place to try out wines and pic-op. I liked the Jeep tour to this place, seeing a different view with this tour. The staff (I encountered) for the wine tasting and the check-out staff were not so friendly. It was good after all...cannot be so bad of a day when you are on a wine-tasting event.

A great winery. We went during a low season, March, which was great. We really like the Chardonnay and their tasting room is top notch. Very friendly and well organized. Crowed: Fess Parker Gainey Firestone Less crowded but great wineries: Rusack Curtis Foxen (northern location: old blacksmith shop)

On the wine tourist trail list; gets very crowded as groups come in Has very nice facility for large groups Efficient wine barista Most of the wines were underwhelming, but liked a Reisling that has a nice apricot taste Cool ovular wine barrels $10 per person tasting fee
