Oh my! Words cannot describe this place, it must be experienced! We had a lovely hostess, Mel who took us on a full tour. The library, the red room, the crystal room all were a new and fantastical ride of the senses. The tasting rooms were fun and worth the exploration. The wines themselves were not to our liking. The concept was great. I would love to go back and do the wine maker for a day experience.

Very nice Gothic Old world velvet style winery and tasting. Highly recommend visiting. Ask for Lilly, she was Awesome! Wines were tasty. I normally don’t like Chardonnay but the LVE(John Legend) there I liked. Highly recommend tasting in the Red Lounge.

Absolutely amazing time at Raymond Vineyards. I’ve never been on a vineyard tour before but it will be hard to top that.

Ché was fabulous, super funny and friendly. Really knowledgeable about the wines, the area, and had fun stories.

We did the Main Salon tasting. The wines were great. We had some extra time, so Ché took us to the Red Room, Crystal Room, and library and map rooms. All of the rooms were super interesting and unique. We bought some wine and souvenirs, all of which were actually fairly priced. After our tasting, we walked around the grounds, pretty cool place and we got to feed the goats.

Definitely recommend visiting Raymond Vineyards! Ché was awesome!

Ask for Sunny!
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the exquisite Raymond vineyard that truly exceeded my expectations! The setting was truly enchanting, captivating the senses with its thoughtful design and charm.The staff like Leona were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our experience even more delightful. One of the highlights was interacting with the charming goats and chickens—so much fun! They added a unique and whimsical touch to the atmosphere. We enjoyed tasting some fantastic wines while soaking in the beautiful surroundings. Sunny, our exceptional wine steward, truly illuminated our visit with her warmth and enthusiasm. She provided a captivating insight into Mr. Boisset's vision for the vineyard, making the experience unforgettable. If you’re seeking a relaxing day with excellent service and a touch of farm life while venturing down an Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole, this vineyard is a must-visit!

Such a great vineyard!! Our host was outstanding. Her knowledge of the area and wine gave us better appreciation for this area and wine. She basically taught us how to pair and drink wine.

So, I have nothing to compare this to as I had never been to a winery but I absolutely loved my experience. At the very least, it’s a great winery for beginners. My husband & I were visiting Napa & Sonoma for a wedding and were able to make last-minute reservations for this wine tasting. We sat outside with views of the vineyard and tasted 5 different wines that were all wonderful. Our host was so friendly & informative. We had lots of time to look around at the vineyard outside as well as the inside. Loved the laid-back vibe with an eccentric flare! You do have an opportunity to purchase bottles of wine after the tasting but they are not pushy with the sales at all and you don’t get any kind of “stuffy” feeling….oh! And the pizza was just the cherry on top!

Oh my stars—what a neat place! Che’ hosted us on a tour and this was such a unique place. She’s personable and beautiful and taught us about the wine and the region. It’s artistic and fantastic and ALIVE—highly recommend a visit. The wine was fantastic, and add in the vibe and hospitality—worth every cent!
