PaZa

Drove down several rural and narrow driveways to a closed gate and closed sign. Was supposed to be open Sunday’s. Was not. Had to back out about 100 yards. Thank goodness I know how to back up efficiently. Disappointing.

Spent a day with 12 girlfriends wine tasting yesterday. PaZa was the first of the three we visited, and it was by far the best. Zane accommodated my request for an appointment 48 hours prior to our visit, and he welcomed us warmly, and provided excellent customer service. The property and views are exquisite. The wine is incredible, and several in our group made purchases. PaZa is an absolute gem of a winery, and our overall experience yesterday was a 6 on a scale of 1 – 5! I plan to join the wine club and look forward to returning with my husband and friends.

What a beautiful place, the wine was delicious and Zane was very welcoming! I’m definitely looking forward to another visit.

Seriously the best wine tasting venue in Placer County… maybe all of NorCal! The drive there is pleasant. Arrived and greeted by owners for a private event. They are very knowledgeable about wine. They served wines with amazing food platters prepared by Pamela (owner/​wife). Words just cannot describe how beautiful this vineyard is, the wines are A+ them top that off with Zane and Pamela… it equals an amazing time! I believe in supporting local businesses but they have to be good before I say it’s worthy of a Unilocal review. Check the hours for tasting, call ahead and book your private event, like we did! You will not be disappointed that you did. This would be a great place to host a wine tasting celebrating a wedding engagement. Take photos for announcements while family members enjoy wine tasting. We have family coming from Texas and others coming from Virginia… this is on our list of most do!

One of the many wineries on the Placer County Wine Trail.
I wanted to visit this winery the other day but wish the staff coordinating for the amount of traffic coming through was more cordial and better situated to address visiting patrons.
The winery was so busy. Out of parking. Staff watching the traffic for the small one lane drive way that he turned me away half way down not at the beginning. Wasn’t pleasant nor friendly.
I elected to try and buy wine elsewhere.
Good: didn’t spend a dollar here.
Bad: horribly disorganized, wasted my time, rude.
Not worth my time. The other wineries got my business that day.

I was lucky enough to have a great friend show me around the auburn wine trail. And literally fell in love with PaZa the minute we drove up on the property! The vibe is unlike any other winery I had ever been too! I was greeted by Zane (the owner/​wine maker/​all of the above) and wow was he adorable! There super cute outdoor tasting room overlooking there beautiful property is absolutely stunning. Being able to taste amazing wine and talk with the wine maker was such a great experience. Since that initial day I’ve been back multiple times. Each time Zane immediately says hi and always makes me feel so welcomed. It makes the whole experience way more enjoyable when you are remembered by first name. And there wine is fantastic! There barbera is amazing and only $ 19!!! Great wine at a great affordable price! I fell in love with The winery. Wine… Zane and Pam that I’m happy to say I’m a wine club member! Definitely take the time and make a stop at PaZa to meet Zane and his amazing wine! It will definitely be worth it!

We are new to Placer County. We’ve lived near Napa for over 40 years and have spent a lot of time in wineries there over the years. PaZa is a real gem of a place to visit on a Sunday, fall afternoon. Very friendly and unpretentious, the way Napa was LONG ago. Their wines are pleasant, we really enjoyed their Chardarino. Looking forward to visiting other wineries near our new home.

I absolutely LOVE small boutique wineries. The opportunity to speak to the vintners and try special wines is always amazing. I was so looking forward to the chance to taste these wines after reading the reviews on Unilocal
The winery is tucked way back off of the road and not easy to find but I was determined. Upon arriving we saw the «Tasting Shed» and made our way over, expecting to be greeted. However no one was around. The shed was open and a radio was playing but no one to be found. We waited to see if anyone would show up, no! We wandered around enjoying the view and two llamas all while expecting someone to show up. After about 10 minutes I realized that this was a BUST! No one ever came and we missed out.
Hope this is NOT common

LOVE the Petit Syrah and Pamela and Zane are charismatic and fun. Great experience at Wine Down Wednesday in Roseville.

Nice winery with outdoor seating and great views…
They just put in a new tasting areas…
we checked this place out over the weekend. They have several wines to taste. The fee is waived if you purchase a bottle.
I think we will come back and enjoy the great views…

Drinking some PaZa wine right now so what better time to review?
We were steered here by some fellow tasters at another winery in Auburn. They told us «you have to try PaZa, it’s just down the road and their wines are solid» Well, they were pretty «solid» (thanks hippie chicks at Lone Buffalo)
Definitely a different experience than your average tasting room. We pulled up to a beautiful house surrounded by grape vines but no tasting room in sight. After getting out of the car we noticed a small group of people down a dirt path, at a wooden stand, near the vineyard and made our way down. We were welcomed by the wine maker’s wife Pam who explained that her husband, Zane, was busy out in the vineyard picking grapes. She told us that the winery name is a combo of both of their names, Pam and Zane, thus the name PaZa… how adorable!
We tried all of their wines and obviously enjoyed them, as we having a glass as I write this review.
I would highly recommend stopping by PaZa and enjoying the gorgeous surroundings and their delicious wines… as would the wine tasting hippies we met along the way. Cheers!

I’m excited to add this new and upcoming vineyard to Unilocal.I came to the grand opening of the vineyard and was very pleased with the wine they produced. It all started with the beautiful drive up to this very cozy personal wine experience. The property is beautiful with great views of placer and Sacramento county. Walking up to the vineyard you are greeted by George their terrier. As you walk down to the tasting area you will find the owners Pam or Zane pouring the wine or working in the vineyard. They are the very personable and you can see they take pride in what they do. As you taste the wines you can sit and over look the vineyard. I recommend bringing some snacks or a picnic to enjoy while you are there trying the wines. The have a sitting area where you can do so. They are open every weekend 12−5pm. The wine is amazing. You must go check them out and you will love the wine and chill atmosphere.
