Page Mill Winery

Recently I visited this winery by way of referral from a friend that spoke very highly of this place. It's in Livermore and is a cute little place that has a nice seating area and aesthetics. We had a couple of flights and learned about the processes of making the wine we tasted and our hostess did a good job. We were pleased with the experience and decided to purchase one of the wines we enjoyed. 3 weeks after visiting the winery we had decided to have the bottle of wine we purchased with dinner. After opening the bottle and letting it breathe I poured 2 glasses and after the first sip it was noticeable that something wasn't right and it tasted weird. I sealed the bottle back and my wife reached out to the winery regarding this matter. We were contacted by Dane who attempted to help rectify the problem however there seemed to be a problem with the fact that since we were not members of the winery they had a hard time finding the transaction in their records. This was frustrating because I had given him the exact dollar amount and date so it was confusing why the transaction was so difficult to locate. I was able to provide a copy of the charge to my account in hopes that would help but to no avail it didn't. We were in contact for almost 3 weeks with Dane regarding some form of compensation. We were hoping this would be a simple and easy process but it was far from that. When we asked to be compensated with an additional bottle plus the replacement bottle that I purchased it became this back and forth with Dane expressing that all they could do was replace the bottle I purchased. I felt like replacing what I purchased was the least they could do but they could've been more accommodating and understanding towards the situation by showing some form of compensation. Unfortunately that was disappointing and I doubt we'll visit this place again.

I stopped by this winery on my way home from work, around 5:30 on a Thursday and it was not too busy. It's a beautiful drive up to the barn like tasting room, there is also plenty of parking.Since it was chilly, I decided to sit inside but there is an outdoor seating area, very picturesque and quaint.The place was not too crowded and I sat close to the bar. The pourer was attentive and great to talk to. I tried the tasting menu - three whites and 3 reds. There was a mystery vintage on the menu and it turned out to be a 2016 Chardonnay and it was delicious. The pours are not very generous though.You get to see the chickens free ranging outside and they have free wifi.I asked the server for wine corks and she was able to provide me some and asked me to stop by anytime for more. Service was great as were the wines, definitely recommend the whites!

I've been to Page Mill twice for school fundraisers, and I love their set up. The tasting room is small, but they have a lovely patio, lots of shade, and a beautiful outdoor seating area. It's nestled right up against the vineyards and is pretty quiet. I haven't tried too many of their wines, but I did like the Rosé.

We walked in Saturday around 2:30pm and were told we were to pay upfront for the tasting. Then we were seated right away. $30 for 5 wines but we did get an extra Merlot when we asked at the end. Stingy pours. We could barely taste the wine. But that's fine because the wines weren't good anyways. The red wines had some tannins. Wines had a mix of fruit and earth. $5 of tasting fee taken off for every bottle purchased. Not sure you can bring food or snacks here since there's a small food menu on the table. 1 restroom outside. The only thing I could say that was good is that they had outdoor seatings in two different areas and the lady who poured for us was attentive at pouring our wines. I mean there was not much to sip on so she had to come back fast lol

Update 6/29/2024Lovely afternoon at Page Mill. Their "2023" Sauvignon Blanc was crisp, tart, citrus flavor and perfect for a hot day. They offer summer spritzers made with their Sauvignon Blanc, Angela's Cuveè, and Chardonnay wine. The prices are $12 and $14.Next is the Angela's Cuveè 100% Grenache grape tart, smooth, a familiar aftertaste but couldn't pinpoint it, but a nice wine. I enjoy a vibrant Zinfandel and this didn't disappoint, jammy, spicy, lovely fruit aroma, and smooth. Their red blend a mix ("2020" Ridge Lift Red) of Tempranillo, Zinfandel, Petite Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah was light, smooth, hints of smokiness and spice. Next up, their "2021" Tempranillo the last red on the tasting menu. This red was slightly tannic, a bit bold for my taste, not a fan; but some red lovers would enjoy. And lastly, I had their desert wine the "2019" Estrella a Sauvignon Blanc, grapes that stay on the vine a little longer, sweet and nutty flavor.An eclectic assortment of wines.

We have been to this winery twice and have loved the experience both the times. They have great selection of wines and they provide great service. We called and got reservations both the times and were able to secure it. So call ahead to book a reservation and you will be set!They have cheese and crackers platters that you can buy with your wines. The pairings are usually great. The ambiance is cozy and they have outdoor standing heaters for the winter months. And they have big seatings also if you are going with the family. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend it!

Great atmosphere and seating space well shaded. Excellent service and some pretty good wines. Our favorite was the Estrella, which was perfect to enjoy out on the warm day.

My husband were unfortunately tardy since we were lost in the area, but staff didn't hesitate to seat us. Thanks! I recently joined Priority Wine Pass which offers complimentary tastings here, but don't forget gratuity! They have a 1 cent tip in the system in which you can input your own amount of gratuity. I enjoyed their chardonnay for club members! A very family friendly place.

Small local winery.I remember them when they were on Page Mill in the "South Bay".Quality/Quantity -Killing time as I drove too fast and got to lunch 45 minutes early...So we took a chance and stopped by here without reservations. Wines are all good, today I decided to have a glass of the sauvignon blanc. It was crisp and refreshing. A great way to start my pre-lunch day.Last time I was here, I left with a few cases of wine and some "wine out" because someone spilled red wine on me... And I booked a river cruise to the Douro River in Portugal last time I was here. That was an expensive evening. I learned the next day to be more wary of wineries with very generous pours!Atmosphere - Small local beautiful winery with indoor/outdoor space, see pictures.Plenty of gravel parking, we were the only customers, lol. Guess we are the only customers that drink at noon...?Service - 5 stars, she squeezed us in with no reservations, again we were the only customers.They also have a great BYOB program, see website.Price - Complimentary for members.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1976, see you soon.

We went winetasting with friends early Sunday afternoon at Page Mill Winery. We were seated under a large umbrella with grapevines in our view. Nancy, was our gracious hostess, who told us some history of Page Mill Winery and how it was birthed in the Santa Cruz Mountains over 45 years ago. Almost 20 years ago the winery moved to the Livermore Valley because they had outgrown their old place.You need reservations to have a wine tasting which are available Thursday through Sunday 12 to 4:30. Wine tasting for nonmembers is $15 per person with six different pours. Their wine list for nonmembers includes 10 wines, ranging from $24-$45 a bottle. For each bottle that you buy, you get five dollar credit off tasting fees. I noticed that if you were a member of one the three wine clubs, that there were eight more wines that you could purchase.If you're hungry, they have two different cheese baskets available for $20 each. If you bring your doggy and they are hungry, they have homemade frozen dog treats available for sale.Want to save money? BYOB every third Sunday, you can bring your clean wine bottle and fill it with a delicious table wine for only $9.99.The winery is wheelchair accessible, and so is the restroom which is super clean!
