de ponte cellars winery

Wow are the wines good here AND the people really laid back and totally chill...Joined their wine club on the spot and still a member to this day!

Very close to White Rose and Domaine Serene wineries, but this very small winery is great to visit and wine taste. Took home some bottles to enjoy.

We were fortunate enough to experience the Du Ponte Cellars home for 3 nights. It is amazing with beautiful views. We had friends form Dallas and Connecticut that joined us. It is an impressive home with an huge deck overlooking the vineyards. Rae, who by the way is fantastic, took care of every detail. She found a private chef to cook for us, contacted local restaurants for us and was on to of every request we made prior to check in. There is every cooking appliance you could want for indoors and outdoors. We made breakfast on an EVO! We are all looking at dates to return next year! Love the Pinot too!

While we enjoyed our visit to De Ponte, it wasn't the most memorable. It was a pretty property and the wines were good, but I'm not sure I'd say great. However, we loved the 2009 Estate Pinot Noir. We also liked their Rose this year.Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The property was pretty and we liked the idea of renting the home on the property to share with friends. They have lots of options associated with that and not many wineries can boast of this.

We just returned from a visit to De Ponte Cellars Winery. As noted by others, the tasting room is beautiful, with a wonderful view from the patio. Unfortunately, the wines themselves did not live up to the views. They were fine, but nothing special. The tasting fee ($15) seemed high, given the wine prices ($24-44). I expected this from Archery Summit Winery, but not De Ponte. To be fair, our experience was tainted by unfortunately arriving when a tour bus was inundating the tasting room, but nonetheless we would not recommend the wine tasting.

Loved our visit to De Ponte - we were able to relax and taste at our own pace on their patio that overlooks the surrounding countryside. They are open to bringing in food so we sat and had a picnic lunch while tasting outstanding Pinots. The 2012 DFB Melon De Bourgogne is not to be missed, and they had a great rose to taste as well when we were there.

We spent a wine tasting weekend at this beautiful estate home with three master suites overlooking the vineyards. The wines are first rate. Try the Melon. It is a lovely wine and the DePonte Pinot Noirs are all fabulous. The 2011s are all drinkable now, but will age nicely.
