Old Friends and New Restaurants are the Perfect Pairing

The Restaurant at Wente has been transformed and is now The Vineyard Table & Tasting Lounge. After an amazing day on The Course at Wente playing golf, laughing, and having fun with my friend, my senses were calmed by the serenity of the outdoor seating at The Vineyard Table. Our focus turned to the balance and body of our Nth Degree flight of wine paired with the hand-crafted bites. There is seating for all types of moods. Inside dining has cozy casual lounge seating by the fireplace, a long rustic modern bar, a lengthy wooden table – family style, and conventional casual dining tables. Outside, among the old growth trees and manicured grounds, there is casual dining on the patio and lounge seating around the glowing fire pit.
A delicious dessert! Chocolate pot de creme with salted caramel and raspberries.
In 2010, The Wente Vineyard became a Certified California Sustainable Vineyard & Winery. There is no doubt that they have been perfecting their gardening skills because the fresh taste of the sustainably and organically grown vegetables and herbs was impressive. The new menu offers “Bites” (appetizers) and “Shares” (small plates) so that a variety of plates can be ordered to share. The waiter was informative on which vegetables & herbs were grown on property and how they were prepared and used in each dish. My top four favorite plates were the Blistered Shishito Peppers (grown on property), Marinated Fresh Mozzarella and fresh green olives (grown on property) and the Grilled Hangar Steak. For dessert, we only tried one, and it was amazing! It was the Dark Chocolate Pot de Creme with Salted Caramel and Raspberries. Every bite was satisfying to my taste buds and every sip of my Nth degree flight made me smile. All in all, a fabulous day! You could have a day like this, too!
