Stopped here for a tasting and a nibble. The staff was helpful and courteous, not the least bit snobby. The tasting was generous and informative. We left with bottles for the nights dinner. Definitely worth the stop though it was hard to find.

I went there for a simple wine tour, followed by wine tasting, but without the food. It's a big winery, recently bought by a belgium woman who is passionated by wines. Although she has implemented some nice practices like turning the whole production into bio, it didn't seem very authentic to me. It's a big business, so I missed a... More

Scheduled a tour and wine tasting which has been a highlight of our trip. A beautiful setting. The tour was very informative and our guide and hostess, Valencia, was extremely personable. The history of the winery and the various wines tasted were exceptional. The only regret is not being able to enjoy the tour and wine paired luncheon. A must... More

As Californians, we have visited many, many vineyards in Napa Valley, Paso Robles and Temecula. We first discovered Avignonesi 2 years ago and partook in their wine-tasting luncheon. It was simply fabulous. We were excited to return recently and hoped it would live up to our, and our friends' expectations. Believe it or not, it exceeded our expectations! Their choices... More

We did the wine tasting and a light snack. She was very informative. I wish we had stayed for lunch. I think if you visit Avignonesi lunch is a must! Wines are delicious. The property is stunning!

My sister & friend decided to spoil ourselves & booked for a tour & lunch at this beautiful setting. Once we settled down to lunch - which was fantastically prepared by the chefs & presented by our very diligent waiter Klajdi - we didn't move for the next 3 hours or so !!! Klajdi explained each food & wine pairing... More

This is a great experience especially for a group or couple. We enjoyed touring the facilities and cellars, although if you've been to several wineries before the educational aspect of the tour might seem a bit unnecessary. But the grounds are so beautiful it's hard to not fall in love with Avignonesi. Lunch was spectacular. All of the food was... More

My husband and I went here on our honeymoon. We did the 12:00 wine tour with Stefania. She was great and knowledgeable. It was about an hour and explained the organic farming and showed us 3 different cellars. She explained in detail how the 50 & 50 was made (their most expensive wine) which was great because we were able... More
