I recently attended Zorvino Vineyards first Price Buster wine dinner of 2008 with some friends on the eve of May 23rd. The dinner was held in their function hall facility which is very impressive and has the look and feel inside of a mountain lodge. The Price Buster dinner we attended was their Spring Fling dinner and the cost for the meal and wine pairing was only $25.00 each so we figured why not give it a whirl! We arrived about 15 minutes early for the 6:30pm dinner start time and enjoyed drinks from the bar at reasonable prices and munched on some fruit, veggies, cheese and crackers while all the guests arrived. The hall filled up with about 50 plus guest and our host was Zorvinos wine guru (Director) Tom Zack. The meal was four courses and each was wonderful! We started off with a Mussel & Leek Soup which was paired with a 2007 Eco Domani Collezioni Pinot Grigio. This soup was delish! It was a puree of roasted leeks, potatoes and had steamed mussels in it. This was followed by a Cool Strawberry & Black Pepper Flatbread paired with a 2007 Zorvnio Fragole Z (which totally has a fresh strawberry taste to it). The Flatbread was a mini pita and although it was a little too tough to cut with your knife, my table dug right in and ate it like a slice of pizza! This was followed by the main course of a Spicy Cornish Game Hen with wild long grain rice and sauteed Fiddleheads paired with a 2005 Gloria Ferrer Carneros Chardonnay. The Hen was cooked perfectly and although it can be a little messy for formal dining, it was very flavorful and good choice for an entree. The meal was finished with a Fire Roasted Bartlett Pear with brown sugar & honey marscapone cheese paired with the 2008 Zorvino Razzberry Delight. I think all had a great time and with the prices of gas and the cost of just about EVERYTHING on the rise, it was nice to see the people out enjoying a meal and a great price! I highly recommend you keep your eye out for Zorvinos Wine Dinners and Events, they were worth every penny and then some!

STAY AWAY FROM ZORVINO VINEYARD. THE MANAGER RUE IS PURE EVIL!!!
Rue has ruined this once wonderful venue. Since he came in he has turned this once charming vineyard into a wedding factory. He does not care about his clients only your money. The wine sucks, the waitstaff sucks, the food is horrible I actually got food poisoning from the eggplant goat cheese meal when I ate it, the acoustics of the room are the worst, the room sucks for pictures, there photo room is a joke! The landscaping is a joke, and the bathrooms are ghetto and dirty. DO NOT HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE THEY WILL RUIN YOUR SPECIAL DAY!!! The "recommended" vendors they use are not even talented they are just Rue's friends that he is trying to get work for. Get Down Tonight is the recommended music services, can you get any more wedding factory then them!? This place sucks please stay away!!!!!
My daughter recently got married at Zorvino's having the ceremony in the gazebo and the reception in the beautiful post and beam building. The grounds and the hall were gorgeous and the food and wine were fabulous! We have received many comments from family and friends about how wonderful everything was. Rue and Sallie offered excellent advice and were very professional. The DJ (from Get Down Tonight)was great and had everyone dancing all night. I plan to continue to visit the winery and purchase my favorites as well as to attend thier great functions. I highly recommend Zorvino's for any event you may be planning.
I am not sure what that woman above was talking about... I think that zorvino vineyards is beautiful! My fiance and I are getting married there in september of 2011... We both think that rue and sallie are very nice and professional.
We have been there for an event, and enjoyed the food and atomosphere very much... The wine is great!
Also, the bathrooms are large, granite and beautiful!
You cant please everyone, but we are very pleased! Would reccommend this location to anyone who wants to have a memorable wedding!
I am also surprised by the negative comment above. My fiance and I are getting married there in February, and Rue has been nothing but helpful the entire time! I have had only positive experiences dealing with Zorvino so far, and I am thrilled to be having my wedding there.
