Idle Hour Winery & Kitchen

Pretty unique food & surprising extremely tasty and boujee for Oakhurst lol. I have eaten here many times and every time was as good as before. If you're a tourist definitely stop in and try a bite to eat it's pretty good.This place is the only other place in this town that's not a burger, pizza, Mexican food, or bbq and has pretty healthy options including the wine lol. For tourist rolling through this place is more of like a nice place to take someone enjoy a bottle of red and then head back to cabin for some exercise. It's honestly nestled in by a creek and you have to pay attention or you will miss it but once you're there it's pretty cool. It's also a small little bed and breakfast which if your a couple bottles deep then you can just stay the night. Anyways good experience and look forward to coming back.

Quaint restaurant with super friendly service. Unique menu with a variety of dishes. Best to call for reservations as they only have 8 or so tables inside. Lots outside but wintertime is cold...Very casual, very eclectic. Enjoyed all dishes especially the chocolate tort! OMG! A must to order if you like gooey yet crunchy chocolate with sea salt. Olive oil added an incredible savory taste. Enough to share.

Charming little winery and kitchen near Yosemite's South entrance. This was a great way to begin our trip to Yosemite. Stayed in Oakhurst for the first time since we were traveling from CA instead of NV. The location is surrounded by nature and visiting in late October offered the perfect outdoor experience. Did a wine tasting and ordered some food among the trees. We shared some amazing wild mushroom and sherry soup, burrata with local blistered tomatoes, and baked Camembert with golden raisin compote and honey. Everything was great and loved all the local ingredient's. We even had the cutest little black kitty come join us at our table and it was the highlight of an already fab afternoon.

I visited this spot last weekend and came in Saturday night. Officially my favorite place to eat in the Yosemite area! I'll never forget how delicious that steak was. There was one employee and she was hustling the entire restaurant by herself and it was full! She did amazing, I hope she is there when we come back.

For a highly rated spot this was such a disappointment. We came here to unwind and have a great meal after a long day at Yosemite, and everything we ordered was below average in quality and overly priced. The steak was supposed to be medium, and came more rare. the bread was dry and tasted stale. the eggplant had zero seasoning or flavor to it. Save your money and time and eat elsewhere

On our way to start our Yosemite vacation for our 30th anniversary, we found this little gem. Idle Hour is a quaint, cozy wine tasting spot. We popped in and the server suggested a tasting for each of us, 5 wines each. All quite tasty. We also got some house made bread and dipping oil that was delicious. The kitties on the property made for some sweet viewing. They are also DOG FRIENDLY! I picked up some Christmas gifts, as they have a little gift shop with locally made products, balsamic glazes, jams, wines, etc. Such a nice spot!

Small winery on the way to Yosemite's south side entrance. We stopped here after a brief visit to the nearby Bass Lake for their wine tasting. The wine selection was good (favorite was the red blend) but the charcuterie board was absolutely amazing (the blue cheese they serve + jam was delicious - and this is coming from someone who typically doesn't like blue cheese). Staff were super friendly and they allow dogs inside which is fantastic on a cold day. Definitely stop by for a sip and a bite.

We had such a nice evening at Isle Hour. They were great about accommodating our large party for dinner. The ambiance was magical. The menu was fun and the food was delicious. We shared a number of the apps and I had the ribeye. We also really enjoyed the wine. It was nice that the owner came out and told us more about the wine. We even bought some to take with us. It's the perfect location for a date or special night to treat yourself.

A gem at the entrance to Yosemite. Great locally owned business with very memorable wine & a commitment to community. Stroll the river & breathe
