Ziveli Winery

My second trip and disappointment once again trying to get a slushy. Arrived after an hour drive for a wine slushy. They didn't have them ready once again and said wait 30 minutes. We waited 45 minutes the winery was hot as hell. Was 102 degrees outside so not sure why they wouldn't have their most refreshing beverage ready. We usually order 4 to 6 of these. After a miserable 45 minutes in the heat we gave up and left as there was no signs of ice in the slushy machine. We were the only ones there with the heat can't imaging anyone would find it enjoyable. If it's summer I would pass for a location that has the proper AC to deal with the heat. It's a cute spot that we have enjoyed multiple times but probably won't return. It's just too far of a drive for repeat disappointment in my opinion.

On May 5, 2024, recently attended with a group at the Ziveli Winery in Fresno. Recently new to the Central Valley area and first time at the Winery. Lack of parking available and there are dogs on the premises that walkaround inside and outside the Winery grounds. There is only food provided outside and in a food stand outside the Winery in which the prices are excessive for personal size pizzas. The staff was polite at times. The bathrooms could use some improvements as well. However, the outside grounds are breathtaking and good for a small group or an event. The drive was okay there was no traffic that time of day. The roads were in bad shape and requires some road improvements. As a military veteran and Central Valley resident I recommend the Winery grounds for your future event needs.

Love Ziveli. This cute little winery has everything you need to have a good night or day out. We have come here several times in groups and have always been greeted by the winery but also their cute dogs (makes our experience better). Their wine tasting is great and they also offer a flight which I would highly recommend. You can also take your own food (which we have also done). Highly recommend and if their pizza place is open don't miss out. Their page doesn't say they are open during the week but we made an actual appt and they were able to accommodate us Thank you Ziveli!

Definitely one of the better wineries in Madera!Cute, rustic vibe with a lot of space. Indoor and outdoor seating areas. Comfy couches inside and many picnic tables outside. Wine wasn't bad, also wasn't the best. The tasting is perfect, you get to choose 6 wines from their wine list for $10. They also have a wine slush option fir $10. I did both.Love the brick pizza addition outside. They come out quickly and baked to perfection. I would definitely recommend. Love the cute dogs on the property. They're so sweet and friendly.All around cute place!

The staff's friendliness here made up for what was otherwise an average experience. My wife and I started with a tasting but switched over to the flight after doing the math, and the front desk staff were kind enough to let us continue without charging another full price. Of note, the owner also made a point to work the room, introducing himself and making recommendations based upon people's tastes. He emphatically recommended their 2017 Cabernet, which most of our group agreed was the best wine of the day. We also had the Riesling and Chardonnay as part of our tasting and the Pinot Noir and to finish our flight. Those who are fond of sweeter wines would enjoy the productions here, but if you are a fan of milder or oak-ish wines then you may not enjoy these.Other than the wines, the grounds are pretty nice. The outdoor space is roomy while being homely, and there's a patch of grass to be used for games. The only downside to our experience was the pizza service, which took over an hour to prepare our orders. The kitchen staff seemed rather stressed, and other reviews here suggest a less delayed experience for others, so maybe we just visited on a rough day. Had the pizza/food been a main reason for our visiting I probably would not rate as highly, but the wines were the draw for us. Will be interested to see how these bottles progress over the next few years.

Ziveli Winery is the wine-derful destination you've been grape-ing for. Our second visit was just as grape as the first. The wine prices were vine-tage and the tastings were nothing short of vine-tastic. The brick oven pizza was so delicious, it was a real pie-mante. The decor was beautiful and the staff was very friendly and accommodating when we asked for a half and half pizza. The wine pours were also very generous for the price. We had a blast playing cornhole and ping pong, it was a grape time! And let's not forget about the cute and sweet dogs roaming around, it was the paw-fect cherry on top. So, don't be a sour grape, go visit Ziveli Winery, take a sip and savor the grape-ness of it all!

LOVE this winery. They have a gorgeous venue with a barn style inside wine bar that has romantic lighting strung and plenty of seating out of the sun. Outside they have bench style seats with tables to enjoy in the sun or under the shade of their beautiful trees. There's also a few corn hole games set up for some fun!Not to mention their onsite Brick L'Oven is some of the best pizza in the valley and pairs soooo well with their scrumptious wine.Perfect for wine tasting with friends or if you're looking for a wedding venue for your special day.

This family run winery is always so fun to visit. Besides yummy wine, each child of the owners has a unique job. One makes pizza, one is selling merchandise, one is a cashier and one is the winemaker. It's wonderful to support our local winery!

My friends had been here before and raved about their brick oven pizza so we ordered a cheese pizza and Hawaiian style (cant remember the exact name). We ended up ordering a third of the Hawaiian since it was SO good! The cabernet was not my favorite but to each their own. I would definitely come back for the pizza and atmosphere! The grounds are beautiful and would great for hosting a small event.

Ziveli is my favorite winery, 5 stars every time. Friendly service, beautiful atmosphere, good pizza, and of course great wine! Worth the driver every time! Thank you to John and his family.
