Arrived at Cherry Valley and the first thing I noticed were that the grounds were beautiful. Lots of flowering bushes, pretty gazebo, etc. When walked around a bit and took pictures. We then went into the wine tasting location. As soon as we walked in, we see the women working there drinking several tastings of wine. I found it odd since we had just come from another wine tasting from a nearby winery and the staff wasnt drinking at all. The young woman who attended us (brunette) was nice, but not overly friendly. We felt like we had interrupted their happy hour, at 2pm on a Friday (today). For every tiny bit of wine she drizzled for us, they poured themselves at least triple the amount in their own cups. They did not describe the wines at all and we felt like we were intruding. The other woman there (middle aged dirty blonde) had several tasting cups herself. It was all very odd for us. The wines were ok. All of them were a bit bitter for our taste. Again, we were also comparing them to the wine tasting we had come from and looking back, their wine was much better. We proceeded to the restaurant, Mama Lucia. Staff was friendly but very slow. Waitress seemed overwhelmed. Our highlight of today was the wine and cheese pairing appetizer ($12). Although the wines were ok, they paired very well with the cheeses, nuts and grapes. It even comes with a card on how to eat which cheese with a particular wine. It was a fun experience for my husband and I. We ordered the prosciutto pizza. The prosciutto was very dry. Everything needed a touch of salt. Pizza as ok. If I came to this vineyard again, I would skip the tastings and just get the wine and cheese plate only. On second thought, we would should just find a different winery or restaurant that offers a wine pairing plate. And to top it all off, we saw the same middle aged woman come into the restaurant and started drinking the sangria wines behind the counter. Dont think we will be back.

I could write a novel on the many ways Sorrenti Cherry Valley Vineyards "Wedding Planner" ruined our September Wedding, but there isnt enough space. ***DO NOT GET MARRIED AT CHERRY VALLEY VINEYARDS!*** To start off, my place cards were literally found thrown on the ground and never used because the "wedding planner" wanted it her way. Everything we wanted, she wanted her certain way. I even included a visual diagram for place settings as well as place cards, and she managed to put my parents and my husbands parents and immediate family all the way in the back of the room completely backwards! The flowers on the property were DEAD and wilted, to which we had to replace on our own dime. The pond was completely full of algae and wasnt even running and we had to request for it to be turned on and cleaned. We paid for a package that included our names on the digital board, and did not find out UNTIL an hour before I walked down the aisle that it was never working in the first place. The "dressing room" was LITERALLY a room inside the pizzeria that I could see through the linen they hung out at people eating dinner! The wine we gave out for our wine favors had the incorrect wine flavor and even the quote we wanted on it was wrong! What they wont tell you, is that the pizzeria and wine tasting building will also be open for your Wedding so you share the parking lot too. One of our guests even witnessed one of their customers trying to peak in our card box! We never received any kind of apology after all the problems THEY caused. To this day, I look back at our Wedding as a disaster because of Cherry Valley Vineyard. We will never go back! PLEASE DONT GET MARRIED AT CHERRY VALLEY VINEYARDS!

Nice setting but Twilight Zone experience at Sangria Bar. The sign says to seat yourself but there is no one to seat you. Everybody waited in one long line to order or pay. We wanted to sit at a table but no one told us we ordered to go. Then after 20 minutes I went up to ask what the procedure was to get our pizza and she said after 20 minutes we were supposed to checked the window. Meanwhile while she walks by w/pitchers of sangria she asks if we were waiting for something when she had two pitchers of Sangria(one was ours) we ordered red and we watched her pour raspberry( which was very tasty anyway)..in the end we walked past our boxes of pizza 3-4 times at the counter because the pizza was marked margarita instead of plain and was $2 cheaper on the receipt than what we had in our hand. My husband even asked the pizza maker if that was ours and he said no the prices were different. We wound up w/luke warm pizza that laid in a box and no service. We didnt even get plates or napkins, the one server that walked around never even made eye contact with us. I tried to ask the blonde that rang us up what to do and she walked right past me. Pizza would have been very good fresh and wine was tasty but for $39 definitely not worth it.

the wine is as expected for small local winery. employees make or break the deal... in this case break the experience... the young girl was enthusiastic but the older woman in her 40s came on as a bitter disinterested person. served me in a filthy glass, not just dirty but 2 different shades of lipstick and numerous smudges, clearly not clean. and then cut her eyes at me when i asked for a clean one and whispered something to the young girl and never came back to me. If she is getting your money, she is less than gracious in doing so.. cannot be hired help because she was too blatantly rude to be hired, she must be family to be so rude without concern for being reprimanded. I have a blog and refused to give their name any highlights as this is a dying business that needs to value its customers or soon close its doors. I have not tried the pizzeria and if absolutely necessary, might one day. but they do need to get their act together. This was my second visit there, total spent this visit was just over $65. not worth the trip for rudeness and dirty glasses.

Service was very good, but the wines were just ok. We stopped here looking to try a local winery. The girl at the counter was extremely nice and walked us through the wines and a little about them. We tried a few each and then bought two glasses to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. If there was a way to dampen the highway noise this would attract a lot more visitors. The landscape was well maintained and we had an awesome view. Since we were here on a Monday the pizza shop was not open (not sure what was available there), but they did have a cracker and cheese plate which we bought and took with our wine outdoors. The plate had 3 different cheeses, grapes, pretzels, and a variety of cracker types. This worked well and there were optional dips that you could try if you chose. Overall this has a great view, ok wines, but a poor location with highway noise.
