Medlock Ames Winery & Vineyard Reviews

Beware of their membership.. they don't give you any notice and send wines . And give you the run around when you want to cancel the order

Had a great time tasting here. Lovely outdoor area!

I m not sure it s even possible to have a better wine tour than this place offers. Not only the tour but the quality of the wine and the time they took with our small group to go over everything was exceptional. If you are looking for some huge production facility with props and a massive tour of operations then don t bother. But the drive out is worth it alone.

The wine is fantastic and this place is perfect for sitting and enjoying a nice day.

Superb! Beautiful tasting room and grounds combine with excellent wine vintages! Kayla and Chelsea are Awesome! Dog friendly too! Cheers!

Excellent winery with unique takes on wine, gorgeous location, and wonderful staff. Must visit if in the area and looking for something different.

Try the $20 Wine & Cheese Pairing option. Friendly & knowledgeable staff who create a positive vibe about the whole business. Will travel 12,000 kms to visit again

This was one of the best corporate dining, excursion experiences we have ever had. Jim (winery President) and Ames (winery cofounder and winemaker) were a dream to work with. They met us at the winery when we arrived then Ames took us on a tour of the vineyard, winemaking facility, and garden as well as talked us through how it all started. It was such a genuine touch to have the winemaker meet us. Jim was super transparent leading up to the event in regards to the menu, headcount, agenda for the evening, ect. He even sat with us at dinner to answer questions and tell us about the wine we were enjoying with the course. I cannot wait to return and it is all thanks to Ames and Jim!

Great wine! Joined 3 bottle quarterly wine club after our visit to the tasting room and have been a member for about a year now. Lots of variety

This is our favorite winery. Their wine, their grounds, their philosophy and their hospitality are beyond wonderful!

The perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon. Taste some wine, appreciate the beautiful grounds and chill out. The wine is always on point too.

Great local winery with wonderful winds, attractive grounds and old speakeasy bar in the back that opens after the tasting room closes

Fabulous wines and great out of the way spot to visit.

Incredibley comfortable atmosphere. So perfect for enjoying a glass of wine or 2,3, even 4 with that someone new or someone special or new & special. Can't miss here !

Beautiful boutique wines. Small personalized tasting room with outdoor seating, cornhole and bocce ball. Nice garden that members can pick from.

Small, no frills, very well-done wine across a wide number of varietals - will be back.

Amazing space, fantastic wines and super friendly staff! They've done a great job with social distancing too!

Bit out of the way to get to winery..Great tour, winery history and tasting.

Thanks Audra.

Beautifully designed garden. Live music at the back. Bar stays open past 4:30pm.

Beautiful property! We got to visit the actual property rather than the tasting room as our bus driver had a relationship with the winery.

The tour was the typical look at our grapes, check out our cave deal, it definitely did not disappoint, though if you've seen one, you've seen them all.

The sauvignon blanc is outstanding, and I typically hate sauv blanc. The other wines were good, but I don't think they stood out to me like the sauv blanc.

I would definitely go back!

A fantastic evening with Ames and team learning much about wine, gardens, aging and the art and passion in wine. A great stop to learn about the love of spirit.

Wonderful small winery. We have also visited their vineyards/ranch and had a tour and had wine and cheese pairing. All was excellent. Try the Secret Ingredient Malbec.

Ok here s the pros and cons. Pros: great vegetable garden. We had some yummy tomatoes right off the bush. Pretty good wine. Great service. And they were willing to work with us regarding our reservation. Cons: wine is overpriced. Tasting fee isn t waived no matter how many bottles you purchase. They will not honor tasting vouchers or other promotions. We also looked at the club membership and I didn t see any incentive to join. Overall, a pleasant but not particularly impressive visit.

If you want an amazing Sonoma County experience, call ahead & arrange to go to the Medlock-Ames Ranch to actually see the vineyard & facilities and learn about the history of the company. The ranch is a fun drive to get there, it's absolutely gorgeous, and you will be blown away by the wine pairing tastings. It really is an amazing experience that you can't get just anywhere. Mollie set us up with our tour & Isabella was a great tour guide. They have a variety of delicious wines, jams & olive oils.

My friend Cathy and I came here as part of a Silver Service tour (which we also very highly recommend) in May and had an excellent experience The wines were great! Our server did a nice job with some wine and cheeses and nice descriptions of each including the winemaker's preferences for little 1% touches of different blending wines. We bought a case there and are looking forward to buying more.

We have been wine club members since 2016. Absolutely love their wines and their properties.

Chelsea in the tasting room was amazing and signed us up for a tour at their vineyards. There, Alexa made us feel truly immersed in the farming and making of wine. We have been to the area many times and this was the most personable place we have been. Also, the wine was delicious. Make sure you stop here during your time in Alexander Valley.

Medlock Ames is both a great land steward, a great host, and an incredible wine maker. Spending time at both the tasting room and the vineyard is a treat for the senses. This weekend we went to the tasting room for the oyster feast.bot raw and barbeque oysters to enjoy with the wonderful wines! It was pouring rain and the room was full of happy patrons. Also enjoying other nibbles with the pourings. The 2016 savion blanc, and rose were perfect with the raw oysters. The 2013 can great with the barbeque oysters!

Was told we could cancel membership at any point - instead they refuse and now keep charging my card with Rose s and savingon blancs. DO NOT JOIN CLUB. DO NOT TRUST WHAT THEY SAY AT LOCATION.

Small and chic tasting room. Staff are always friendly and helpful and the wine is excellent. 15 dollar tasting with 5 dollar pairing of local cheeses, I recommend it. Tasting is free with two bottle purchase, get the estate red while it's available.

Lovely little gem in Alexander Valley! Great vibe and friendly staff. For a treat, ask for Emmy. She's amazing!

Beautiful tasting room and grounds. We actually decided to spend a relaxing afternoon here and loved every minute of it. The rose and Sauvignon Blanc were DELICIOUS. All of the vintages were wonderful and the cheese pairings were perfect! (The homemade marmalade is not to be missed!) staff were so nice it felt like spending an afternoon with friends. And to top it off the estate is 100% organic and sustainable and utilizes solar energy. Very impressed, we will be back.

Great tasting with a informational tour. Be sure to try their tasting room in town as well.

Had a great time sitting at the bar. Bartenders were fantastic and super nice.

We just left Medlock Ames. Had an AMAZING time. Austin at the bar was incredible. I normally am not a Chardonnay girl but theirs was the BEST I ve ever had! So much fun- highly recommend!

We went on the tour with Dan! The winery was gorgeous and I learned so much. The grounds are beautiful and they have clearly thought carefully about what they want their wines and the experience to be like. After the tour, we came back to a beautiful set table. The wines were so wonderful, may aunt joined her first wine club after years of wine tasting. We also took home so olive oil and citrus marmalade!

Friendly people fabulous wines. Located in the midst of the vineyards.

Hits the spot. Cute little tasting room where you can grab a bite.

I loved every wine I tasted! This has never happened to me! What a treat!...truly beautiful wines and well informed, friendly staff! Thank you!

This review is for the speakeasy in the back of the winery. Really cool spot, great cocktails, good craft beer selection

This is one of our favorite tasting rooms. The quality of the wine is superb, and we love the staff. Chelsea (team member) is a gem, both knowledgeable and approachable. Try the rose or the Kate's and B's blend, named for the wives of the owners. Wonderful food pairings, especially the house-made marmalade

Had a great experience at Medlock Ames this past summer at one of their summer concert events. It was a sunday night and the perfect way to finish off the weekend! Drinks and cocktails being served at the bar and the grill going out back with delicious food. Plus you are in the heart of the countryside so the views all around are amazing.

Beautiful location, fabulous rustic/industrial building, nice, reasonably priced wine!

Good wine, although a bit pricey these days. The tasting room feels like a cool wine bar. Nice garden grounds.

super friendly tasting room - small production winery - try the oak-aged Sauvignon Blanc - a really great patio wine
