Rodney Strong Vineyards

Ashley (I hope that's the correct spelling) was so wonderful greeting us. It was a last minute diversion after Armstrong redwoods. We remembered years ago stopping and enjoying all the wines we tasted at Rodney Strong. That never happens to me and my wife at the same winery. She was able to squeeze us in as a walk in. She treated us with so much kindness and was such a delight. We are thrilled to be her first wine club members. The Terrace was beautiful and it was nice having a grassy area for our toddler to run around a bit after sitting still for a tasting. Towards the end of our visit Evan came over and shared some amazing port with us. We were very grateful for our time at Rodney Strong and were delighted with another outstanding tasting.

I went here today with a couple of friends for a tasting. It was really fun and the Pinot noirs were so good. Nice earthy and fruity tones. The grounds are super pretty. I love the walk up to the tasting room and walking down from the back the stairs are a bit slanted which was cool. They were having a spring market event with cool vendors like jewelry, candles things like that. There was this cool taco truck that also sold sandwiches. I tried the pulled pork melt with two types of cheeses on sourdough. It was absolutely amazing. Want to come back for sure.

Ron was our delightful sommelier. He was charming knowledgeable and witty. His attentiveness and amazing personality stole our hearts and our taste buds. He even converted our "Red wine loving friend" to a "I'll give it a try " kind of person. That within itself is a great feat. Thank you Ron!! You gave us a VIP experience and we can't wait to return just to see again!

Commodities Relocation Specialist here. I was here, two weeks ago, for a pickup. Every person I interacted with was professional and courteous. I was loaded, well under an hour, with BOL in hand. After being loaded, I pulled off to the side of the vineyard, just past the loading dock, and had my lunch in a quite stress-free area; those who drive, know how rare this can happen. Thank you, for allowing me that quite time, at your facility, after being loaded.

I will never return to this venue. The parking and shuttle were easy. The event area was very nice even though the stage isn't much of a stage. Those are the only good things I have to say. I woke up this morning still mad about our experience there. Without question this was the most hassled I have even been at a concert. The sold-out audience was almost exclusively over 50 so you might expect a respectful, quiet crowd but it was nothing like that where we were. We were on the outer aisle against the building in the seated area. Before the concert, many people were standing in the shade but once it began the entire area was filled with people from the lawn seating and others who simply didn't want to sit in their seats. People were also crowded behind me as we were in the last row. This was only mildly annoying. The real problem was the number of people who were heavily intoxicated. Loud talking, screaming, stumbling as they danced. Many people seated in our area were unhappy and annoyed. The volunteers(?) and the security did nothing. No asking people to return to their area, no asking people to behave. Nothing. In the middle of the concert a severely drunken man (and badge-wearing wine club member) leaned on me and told me he needed to sit in my seat because he couldn't find his. A few minutes later he stood behind me and put his hands around my neck. The only reason he didn't get thrown to the ground was because I didn't want to be the a-hole who punched a rich 65 year-old. I did convince him to never come near me or my daughters again. I'm sure the venue absolves themselves of the behavior of their patrons but they clearly have no control and no policies in place so that others can enjoy the show. Good luck driving the roads after a show here.
