Windmill Ridge Winery

Great visit , definitely enjoyed this winery . It's a family owned winery in Tracy , CA. Jamie owner was very hospitable young Lady & the wines were good. Lots of homemade baked goodies . We will be back in the near future. The inside of the winery is very cute like the inside of a winery in the countryside of Italy . One of our favorite bbq's Hog_House of all time was there & the wine & bbq was absolutely perfect ! It was a wonderful evening listening to great music , wine & bbq .

Very nice winery it is small but is comfortable and the family that own that place is very nice people, and the live music is is even beets !

I'm not the biggest yelper I have a few reviews and that's only because I'm so busy with being a mom and duties I don't take the time so I just do a lot by word of mouth. BUT I'm going to put all of that aside today to leave my experiences with Jeimy and the winery. It took me 4 years to finally say that's it we're planning a wedding and getting married. I wanted my day to be nothing less than beautiful because I only get married once! I searched around for places and started making calls and you know what? Windmill Ridge was the onlyone that respectful called me back. I made my appointment with Jeimy and it was easy she was so accommodating understanding I'm a mom and also work. While waiting for my appointment I still made calls and every call I made I didn't get that warm inviting call like I did with Jeimy. So let's fast forward! The day of our appointment Jeimy explained everything and went over costs and I was shocked like you must be kidding I get all this for the price I was quoted. I thought she lost her mind I mean she basically was planning it all and making it this easy for what the packaged cost. When she explained the winery and how her father in law did the flowers and took care of them by switching them in seasons. I knew then the love that had for that place is what I needed to complete my wedding. We booked the wedding date that day! Now the people she works for in the package is just as sweet and accommodating! It was easy every call every appointment. Yes, I was stressed planning but the wedding part was a breeze. Jeimy would check up on me and what really blew me away this was when her home caught on fire. Yes her home with her beautiful family and with her stress she still checked on me and made sure all was going well. My day was magical the weather the venue the food and laughter. Jeimy had it all planned so beautifully that I didn't want the night to end. I have never received so many compliments and I owe a lot to her. Makes we want to crash every wedding Thank you!!!

REVIEW FOR 2018 MOTHER'S DAY EVENT ONLYI wanted this experience to be fantastic, but it left me feeling very frustrated. I've been taking my mom out to Mother's Day brunch for the past 20 years, and this is the first time we were so disappointed.PROS:1.       The winery is small, but charming. The grounds are well maintained and the overall setup of the event was fine. The winery is definitely a gem in Tracy.2.       The staff was very attentive and courteous.3.       The band, FunkyTim.com was EXCELLENT.CONS:1.       PAPER PLATES, PLASTIC UTENSILS AND PLASTIC CUPS. I've NEVER been to a brunch anywhere that uses these. I was shocked when I saw that this was the setting. For such a lovely winery and occasion, this definitely cheapened the event.2.       $75 PER PERSON. This would be fine if more thought was put into the details. I don't have a problem with paying this amount for a better quality selection of food. For just food and music (we did not do the painting), this was definitely not worth it.3.       THE FOOD. The food was good, and would be more appropriate for a church picnic or backyard get-together. They only had two pasta choices as the main course, and sandwiches, this is unheard of for a Mother's Day brunch. There were no carving stations, no meat selection, no seafood and only one green salad choice. The desserts were cute, but they were boxed and appeared to be store bought. We saw one of the ladies cut open the box and place them on the table, in fact they were still cold/frozen L. The punch was warm and tasted like all the ice melted in it. I don't like pasta, so all I had was a half of a sandwich and the Caesar salad. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT WORTH $75. I would recommend that they list the brunch menu as a part of their advertising. This will help folks know what they're paying for.4.       SEATING. We had to share a table with two other families, this would be OK if we were at a wedding reception or a family event. We weren't, we would have preferred to have a table to ourselves. Conversation between my family was awkward because we had others that were listening in. Also, I know there isn't anything that could have been done about the heat, but half of the table was in the baking sun. I kept hearing the other families complain about needing more shade.I know this is only the second year that they're putting on this event, so I'm sure in time they will be able to iron out the kinks. This can truly be an excellent experience and worthy of the pricetag if they are able to change the cons.

This was my second time going to a winery and I have to say , Carla was amazing with her knowledge and hostess service. OUTSTANDING The wine was excellent as well as the atmosphere. Thank you Carla, you rock!!!!!

Beyond impressed with this family owned winery. Excellent experience and the wine was delicious. It's a ways away from where I live but I plan to hit this place again on my way to Sacramento for work. The family is very accommodating and they were excellent hosts.

Had a great time here, sorry to say it was because of a funeral but Jami did a great job. I will come back for a tasting. They are only open on weekends

Had a great time here! We loved the Malvasia, the port, and the smokey red wine (Charbono- my Scotch loving husband's favorite). Our pourer was very knowledgeable, and was super attentive. It's a pretty place, with good wines. We really didn't know much about Tracy wines, but after going this weekend, I have to say I'm impressed, and we'll be back. These are small lot wines, and they're made with real craftsmanship. I think the Malvasia we tried had won a platinum award in Lodi! So not only are they good wines, but they're award winners- if you care about such things. The tasting fee is also very reasonable- only 5$ per person.

I came here with a friend from Sacramento for a quick wine tasting and I can not express how welcoming the environment and staff were. The owners were very sweet and thorough explaining all their wines and learned that the husband's father actually makes all the wine (which are all wonderful and made with love) the detail and condition in which the wines are made are close to perfection and even better than some in Napa that I have tried. I highly recommend this place for both the various selections of crafted wines and for the great service and kind hospitality. Will definitely be stopping by here again. Perhaps on one of their comedy nights! Thanks again to the owners, I had the best time. We ended up leaving with two wine bottles and that may not be enough!

Jeromy and her husband are so welcoming. Four of us decided to get together and have a glass of wine and catch up and decided to support local. It is so charming and comfortable inside. It was the perfect place. We will definitely be back for more wine, Wednesdays. And the Barbera Wine that Jeimy suggested was wonderful! thank you for such warm hospitality
