There were quite a few very young children out there running around looking for something to play on. Also there were some ants on our table, I understand it’s outdoors.

I took my friend for her birthday to experience Visar Nights. We had a wonderful time wine tasting with Tom and we absolutely loved the tri tip sandwich with an apricot bbq sauce. The wines were smooth and of great quality. It was our first time wine tasting. Thank you for everything!

I love The Vista and atmosphere, as you all have to know. Not only coming out at least once a week, but staying as a Harvest Host member in my trailer when I can. It is so peaceful out there. Love it! It’s my Happy Place.

I was pleasantly surprised. I have lived about 2 miles from Vista Farms for 8 years an never gone there. The music was great and the tri-tip sandwich was delicious. It was a pleasant experience. Will definitely go again.

Drove over an hour to visit Vista with friends and was really looking forward to having a nice time. The place is very beautiful, the music was great, food is great but the service is terrible. So terrible it ruined our night. The gal taking food orders was so rude and had an awful attitude. We felt like we were a burden for ordering food and after ripping our order in half and crumbling it she still asked for a tip. We did not feel welcome and will not be returning. Customer service can make or break a place. What a shame for such a beautiful place and concept.

Making a reservation was really easy & trusting!! Which I appreciated .. I made reservations at 8:15 & thought that was perfect because it’s not hot in the day & it’s straight after work.. well I guess not because right when my friend and I got there at 8:12ish .. the girl said sorry we’re closed , we can’t serve you. So that was disappointing because why have that table available at 8:15 if you close kitchen late. When closing is at 9.. well anyways! Ambiance was pretty just maybe make a post about when you can’t serve people,to try to make a reservation around serving time & not have times like 8:15 available! Thnx

The pizza here is DELICIOUS! Great vibes with beautiful scenery and live music . The only downside is Al the red ants on the table but other than that a beautiful place for a special event . I walked my Gf around the winery and proposed to her in between the vineyards. Very romantic

Vista Ranch is a hidden jewel! Tucked away, it’s welcoming setting invites family, friends, and strangers to gather around outdoor tables while enjoying live music, brick oven pizza, and, of course, the best local wine! Everyone can enjoy the quiet ambience while soaking in precious moments of summer.

My overall experience was excellent! I loved the food & the entertainment was amazing! I love Scott Patrick! My only complaint is that you didn’t have sangria. I remember you always served sangria & it was really refreshing on a hot day. Please bring it back. Thank you for a great evening!

The Vista Winery's website advertised "Vista Nights" live music artisan pizza and wine for every thursday and friday so I made a reservation on tuesday for Thursday at 6:30. When we arrived there was no band just the waitress playing music off an ipad. I asked what happened to the live music and she said that the manager cancelled it because it was the week of the county fair. We didn't stay to eat the pizza because it was the size of a paper plate and cost 16 dollars. We were so disappointed it would have been nice if they sent a notification cancelling the event so people didnt waste their time driving 20 minutes out of town to sit on dirty picnic tables and eat over priced pizza while listening to a skipping ipad.

Vista Ranch employees are always respectful and personable which makes you feel welcomed. However, I suggest making sure that your guest food trucks also have a good work ethic. The Conchitas truck on Thursday night provided poor customer service. There was no sign or mentioning that they were to stop servicing at 8pm. I can definitely respect business hours but what I find rude is that the ladies working that night allowed several families to get in line and wait in line over 20 min to tell us they were not serving anymore. We had made several eye contact with the ladies working and they physically saw people getting and waiting in line but failed to respectfully let us know we would not be served versus allowing us to waste our time standing in line when they knew all along they would not be serving us. They even denied serving Vista Ranch employees. Their lame excuse was that they , "wish they could serve everyone but our commitment was only till 8pm." So, not only did they rudely allowed us to wait in line but they blamed Vista Ranch because they had only commitment to 8pm.
