    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.
