We loved photographing at Durst Winery for our wedding couple in September. The weather was nice, the venue was beautiful and the owners are so amazingly sweet. One of our favorite venues and would love to come back and photograph more love here. If you're looking for an outdoor venue in the central valley, this is it!

Nice setting. Food was just ok. Wine is good, especially the white wine.

A beautiful winery with exceptional service!! My friends surprised me with a birthday party at this amazing winery and I'm so glad and happy that they did! We got a beautiful table under the patio (that saved us from the rain) and we were able to bring our own food and just relax!! You can order a glass, a bottle, or a flight to try! I tried the "a little of everything" flight which gave me a glass of white, sparking. Rose, and a glass of red. I was even given a complimentary champagne for my birthday. Everyone was so sweet and accomodating, even come with hugs! We were able to bring our own food and by the end of the day, I obviously wanted to become a member. Can't wait to come back and enjoy more wine in this adorable place!

Stopped in on our day off. Eh with the experience gorgeous grounds . Left a horrible taste in our mouth. Why? We paid $$$$$$$$$ to much for industry. No fellow respect even after we bought bottles . I get my tasting waved in Napa I don't purchase wine. Just seems ridiculous after paying $$$ for wine they don't wave. No mention of it either I asked if it's waved when purchases so buyer beware. Leaving filling ripped off.

Service and wine here is always perfect. Bring friends. No appointment needed but can get busy. One of the most amazing wineries in northern California. Great place to get married or have an event as well. Come once and you'll be a member for life.

The winery itself is absolutely beautiful. The staff is amazing and very friendly and welcoming. I celebrated my 27th birthday here and I could not have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a beautiful yet relaxing environment this is the place. Not to mention their amazing selection of wines, that are top tier and nothing short of delicious. Please give them a try if you have not done so!

We were really disappointed when went to taste wine on Sunday. Unbeknownst to us they had a band playing. We only went to taste wine, not really interested in the band. We went in to taste and we were told we had to pay $10/person for the band when they only had an hour left to play. So long story short we decided to spend our money elsewhere. There are a lot of other wineries in the area that have live music on Sundays that don't require a cover charge. If their goal was to limit the number of people at the winery they certainly were successful.

Talk about an amazing experience ✨ the wine was fabulous, we had the red flight and took home both the Merlot and Cabernet. We also sampled their crisp chard, which is perfect for a warm summer day. Aside from the fabulous wine and beautiful facility, the staff here is incredible. I can say that hands down, this is the best experience that I’ve had a winery with how we were received and taken care of. We were served by Caroline, Stephanie and Mallory - from the beginning, each person that we interacted with made us feel like family - they kept coming around to the outdoor seating area to take care of us with the warmest presence. We will definitely be returning, all I can say is that we were blown away by what an amazing experience we had all around!

The facilities here are quite pleasant, but beware. Your tastings may not be representative of the bottles you purchase. I bought two bottles recently because I was impressed with their sparkling wines, but I wound up dumping both bottles down the drain. There's also a staff member that doesn't understand boundaries. He was described by the owner as "partial to the ladies" and "very good at neck rubs". The owner also mentioned that their wines are sold exclusively at the winery, with no retail outlets. At the time, I thought that was interesting, but it's not.
WE had a great time this past Saturday at Durst. I had thought I booked our group for a tasting, and when we arrived, they couldn't find us on the list but said come on in and we'll square you away. Stephanie was our hostess and she seated the 7 of us outside under the overhead covering and turned on the propane heater. After explaining how the tastings go we were off to races, and it was a great way to share with each other the vast array of wines that Durst has to offer. We were there for about 2+ hours and I had a chance to go inside and speak with the servers about the winery, the grapes and the business. All of us had a great time, we purchased some wine and we will definitely come back later this year when the weather is a little more cooperative. Thank you to Stephanie and the entire Durst crew for making our visit a great one!

Went out here to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Peaceful and cute location with outdoor seating in a large area, great service, two adorable dogs, and really good wine. I’ve had their Chardonnay and the Red Blend (ask for the mamma mia and they’ll know lol) and I loved them

Durst was absolutely incredible, Pati and the team were fantastic! The grounds are beautiful, kiddo friendly and the wine is AMAZING! A few really good whites and you need to try these reds! MALBAC!!!!

Not a good first time or second attempt to visit here. Never got a chance to try the wine. We were turned away twice, both times we had resorvations. The second time we went, there were people inside, but they said they were closed. Will not be returning, we will have better luck around the corner.

Had my sister's wedding here. The owner of the winery let his dog run around during the ceremony and at one point was in the aisle until the photographer got the dog out of the way. Completely unprofessional for the owner do that during a wedding.
