G V Cellars

The wines at GV rival and, dare I say, surpass any, I mean, any, Napa, Sonoma etc. wines that might be selling for three times the price. They are big, bold, fruity, yummy, tanniny, not just for breakfast anymore, wines. When we first started investigating Suisun Valley, we were so disappointed and vowed never to go back… but we thought, let’s try one last winery on the way back to Hi way 80. It was GV Cellars and we were and always are happy we made that decision. I volunteered for many years at the Suisun Wild life center and made it a point to stop by and purchase wines on my way to and from «work». I only tasted going home not going to the center. I was in charge of sweet little lives so had to be good. The wine «stewards» know their wine and will very happily pour you through whatever floats your cork.
Also, take a lunch. The setting is beautiful and their wines pair easily with most eats you’ll bring.

Great wines, great prices and laid back environment. You won’t be disappointed.

We dropped by GV Cellars on the way home from a day in Napa. I’m so glad we did, because this place was the highlight of the day.
It’s located on a small road surrounded by vineyards. Once we arrived, we parked on the side of the road and walked around the building to find the entrance.
The tasting room is upstairs. We were the only ones there at the time, so we were able to spend an hour with one of the owners tasting wines and learning about her business. The Rose of Sangiovese and Cab were excellent.
This place is the definition of a small family business, so don’t expect a flashy place like big corporate vineyards in Napa. For me, that was a part of the charm.

Called last week and they said they would be open til 5 today. Says the same on Unilocal.Was a long hike to get out to the winery as they are off the beaten path, and no signage makes it even a little more challenging. As we finally arrived, the silver haired fellow who worked there was a little too happy to turn us away with a big smile on his face, claiming they closed early. We were really looking forward to tasting. We told him that we drove a long way from Southern California. It felt as if he enjoyed saying no and didn’t even consider for one second obliging us and giving us a short tasting. To me that isn’t the spirit of wine country.

We were so excited to tour the wineries in Suisun valley today. We even had our friend come up from la just for this occasion. We looked up the hours on the website and it said they were open until 5 pm and there were no special events.
We pull up to this winery which had no signs indicating the entrance. Luckily we found it. So if you’re going here and you’ve already wine tasted at other places keep your eyes open and stay alert. It doesn’t look like the rest.
It’s also not as simple as finding Vezer, which I highly recommend. The lady was super nice there and had a vibrant pure energy.
Anyways, as soon as we got out one of the workers said they were closed. It was hardly even 4 pm. We asked if we could have a little taste since the website indicted they’d be open. He smiled, happy to kick us out as quick as possible. :(bummer too because we came from out of town.
Anyways one of the worst experiences wine tasting. Too bad we couldn’t try the wines otherwise this review might have been different. I can see why they aren’t on par with Napa. Service means just as much to me as the quality of a good glass of wine. It’s quite a shame.

Have been coming back for years! The wine just keeps getting better and better. Now my favorites are the Rose of Sangiovese and Oak knoll Cab! Go visit!

Very nice! Really good wines and friendly owner!
Best time so far on our usa trip: D

We love this winery. Great wines at reasonable prices. The staff are very friendly and helpful-​especially Vicky

About 6 months ago I stopped in here on a whim after a long Napa weekend as a last stop before flying back to NYC. It’s not as large or fancy as many other vineyards I’ve visited, however that is the charm. The tasting room feels like you’re in someone’s living room (in a good way) and the staff is extremely friendly and knowledgable. I signed up for the wine club and have not been disappointed. I am enjoying the Dolcetto this evening with a nice home cooked meal and it’s fantastic and a reminder to stop by on my next trip to SF in April.

Loved the reds– the Sangiovese and Cab were our favorites. The Zin was also quite good. The tasting was comp’d with wine purchase, and the price point was great.

Family owned and operated, this winery has the most helpful pourer. Super friendly and informative. Great wine. Can’t wait to go again. Thanks Vicki!

Another great place to go for wine tasting. The person pouring was very tentative and talked to us the entire time. Maybe we were the only people there at 11am? I would definitely stop here again next time we are in town.

The only negative I have about this place has nothing to do with service, wine quality or pricing. It has no signage. If we hadn’t parked on the side of the road and gotten out of our vehicle where we did we wouldn’t have found the door. When you see the barrels, you’ve made it.
Wines were excellent. Nice tannin structure good fruit flavors lots of character, and some age ability. The service was great, being served by a family member is always a good situation.

You say Cali I say wine country. I stumbled across this little gem on a road trip to Seattle.
They open before most of the wineries in the area and they aren’t too far from the highway.
All of their wines are tasty and the actual winemaker is there pouring. If you’re in town, stop here and ask for Claudia (she takes the best pics).

Went to harvest party today. Excellent wine and the staff is exceptional. Met owner and family all are closely involved in the business and bring that personal touch that is gone from Napa. EXCEPTIONAL!!!

Wine tasting Heaven! Beautiful setting, incredible hospitality by the owner/​wine maker himself, great wine, free tasting. Didn’t want to leave! :)

It was fun «discovering» this winery. It’s nestled off the beaten path in a truly bucolic setting complete with a farm dog and free-​range chickens. And the important part – the wine was good and the service was wonderful. The tasting was actually free, and they even let my friend bring is 120 lb dog inside to hang out with us. (Although if your dog does not do well with chickens, I would not recommend bringing him or her.)

Found this winery through Unilocal. My boyfriend and I made a spontaneous stop by on a Sunday afternoon after finishing up a tour at the Jelly Belly factory. We didn’t know quiet what to expect as we had not been to any wineries in this area. . but we were in for a treat.
Atmosphere: The dog greats you as you get out the door; free range chicken coop on the side, a covered out door patio area and the tasting room looks out onto fields of vines.
Wines: Well to each there own preferences but we liked many of the wines. Most of the wines are red and many are from local or estate grapes. We bought two bottles while we were there.
Hostess: Claudia was friendly, helpful and was able to answer all our questions. We were able to laugh and joke around in a casual atmosphere with others there who were tasting.
Price per bottle: 16+
Our only recommendation would be to put in a bocce ball court for some outdoor fun with our wine sipping!

I find this winery to be very special. They have a couple of great wine events every year… we always love going there to get the new tastings. So many great wines, a wonderful staff, very knowledgable, and really good tasting wines. The main wine maker is a Willie Wonka of wine making — they make such great diverse wines. I love the partnerships with other grape too.
some of my all time favorites… Dolcetto, Lapis Luna Romanza, and incahoots
is my favorite day outing visiting this wonderful group.

Stopped in here again today. I must say that Claudia is AWESOME! She is very knowledgeable, friendly and has a nice smile =). She’s not shy to let you taste what they have! Her husband Sal is heka cool too, he took us into the cellar and did a couple barrel tastings for us. As before, the wines are very very good! The experience was perfect. The place has nice views, a good feeling and a nice place for a picnic too.
Ohh, their dog greeted us too when we arrived.
Thanks again GV !!!
