Great for fine wines
Great for scenic views

Sip, savor and delight in a glass of wine and the warm hospitality of Nicholson Vineyards. We are currently offering 90-minute reservations for wine and olive oil tastings. Picnicking is welcome and we also have various cheeses, crackers, and charcuterie available for purchase. Our standard seating is located outside on our patio and in our oak grove. Indoor seating is also available for an additional fee (inquire about our Garden Room at operations@nicholsonvineyards.com for availability and pricing). For parties larger than 8, please visit our website to inquire about large group tasting reservations.

The winery grounds are planted with four acres of estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, as well as 4 acres of Tuscan olive trees. In addition to our wonderful extra virgin olive oil, we produce over 1500 cases of wine annually.

We hope you have the opportunity to visit! Relax and enjoy the vineyard and valley views while you share a bottle of wine with friends.

We used the opportunity of our scheduled wine pickup to enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting with friends. The setting for the wine tasting was very pleasant and the service was excellent as usual. The staff and owner are always pleasant and friendly.

This is a winery with wine tasting. I was not aware that they offer any food; so I can refer friends for their wine; but not their food.

The don't serve food there, but Open Table wouldn't let me post review without making a selection. Phil our "Winetender" was great and attentive, even found us some plates and napkins so we could eat our sandwich (We rode our bikes out there). Nicholson has a great ambiance and wonderful wines.

Ambiance at the winery is wonderful with a sense of close to nature sitting close to the vines and amongst the trees.

Sitting near the vineyard sipping delicious wines on a beautiful October day was serene and beautiful. Our server was knowledgeable about the wines (great for our group’s oenophiles) and the pours were varied and generous. They had a cheese and cracker board that made it easier to start tasting early! We very much enjoyed the Nicholson wines.
