Odyssey Winery & Vineyards

Beautiful place and friendly people. We went on a day when few people were present. My wife liked one of the wines from a sampler. Went spent many hours relaxing and enjoying the scenery and ambiance.

We genuinely and enthusiastically enjoy this place. Nikki is very welcoming, the wines are terrific, and the decor and grounds are beautiful. What keeps us from coming back more frequently is twofold:

The music can be awesome (Tyler, Hans) unless it's simply way too loud to hold a conversation (Ayla - a great musician, but the volume is less like a winery and more like a bar or concert venue, and she plays there frequently per their FB page).

The local cheeses (we don't like to eat meat) are lovely. We don't come more frequently because filling up on cheese and crackers isn't comfortable to do repeatedly, and generally, if we're going out, we are looking for at least a light meal. Once we're in a restaurant having a meal, it doesn't make sense to drive out to the winery afterward. Again, to visit once or twice and enjoy all the goodies is wonderful.

I understand and respect that they don't allow outside food, but it would be lovely if they had a few other foods like grapes/apples/smoked salmon, etc. Even better would be if they allowed people to use their picnic areas for picnics as many other California wineries do. That would be fantastic!

Anyhow, I hope everyone checks out this charming winery, particularly as the weather improves!
