From Wine Tasting to Vine Growing...
Calico Skies Vineyard and Winery was built from a shared passion for wine and adventure. What began with wine tasting trips and an unforgettable California engagement evolved into hands-on winemaking experience and formal viticulture training. Since opening in 2011, the family behind Calico Skies has been living their dream of hosting milestone celebrations and creating outstanding wines. That dedication shines through on your wedding day, with a team that is dedicated to exceeding all of your expectations.
It's all in the Details...
You can exchange vows outdoors in the vineyard, which offers an enchanting backdrop no matter the season, from vibrant summer growth to soft fall colors. For your reception, the Sky Room offers an elegant setting with sparkling chandeliers and captivating sunset views, with plenty of space for dining and dancing. Intimate celebrations are housed in the Barrel Room or Tasting Room, which provide the ideal setting to gather with those who mean the most. The culinary team offers their famous wood-fired pizzas for those who are passionate about Italian cuisine.

Calico Skies is by far our favorite local winery. The owners, Ashley & Will, are absolutely delightful and always make us feel welcomed. We love the wine & cider options, and have enjoyed the addition of the wood-fired pizzas. They even have a ...
Gluten-Free crust, which is fantastic.
We also love the different events Ashley & Will have put on over the years. Whether it's having Santa stop by to visit with the kids, a Sunday afternoon of live music, hosting some local artisans, or a fun night of Bingo, there's always something going on.

I was excited to come back after almost 5 years to only be disappointed. The gal at the front lacked, and by the photo you can see barely gave me a tasting. I asked how many inches the pizza was, and she could only tell me there were 8 slices....
Okay, so I put my hands up and asked her about how big. She shrugged her shoulders and pointed some decor, and said "about that big".
My friend bought a bottle of blueberry and I just wanted to leave. I'm sorry, but the person at the counter was lacking knowledge to help me out and to have a good tasting experience.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be back. I'm happy to see the progress in the property, but please train anyone working on the counter to be less rude.

My husband and I were just in to taste a few wines and purchase a couple bottles to take home. Although we enjoyed the wine the service was terrible. The young girl was rude and gave us no advice or even discussion about the options. She gav...
e us the feeling we were wasting her time. When we put our credit card in to pay she walked away behind the bar without even a thank you for coming-nothing. We thought about irdering a pizza but after that experience we just wanted to get out and we left very disappointed
