"We had a wonderful time at Pence winery. The hospitality exceeded our expectations. Our host Philip made our anniversary so special. He had us try so many different wines off the tasting menu and took the time to explain everything and allowed us to side by side comparisons. Coming from Sacramento where we generally frequent Napa we were blown away by the quality of wine. I am so happy we chose to spend our anniversary with Pence winery. Again, thank you to Philip for making our experience so memorable. We can’t wait to come back."
