Marynissen Estates Winery

This was the last stop of our afternoon bike tour. Its a smaller, quiter place compared to the other wineries. The staff were friendly.

Our tour group had 10 people and we were all seated on 2 picnic tables attached to each other. I thought this was concerning since we were sitting so close together and we werent wearing masks for the wine tasting.

Hidden gem. A friend mentioned Marynissen in passing, and since we were driving by with some time to spare before our next tasting reservation, we stopped in. Thankfully there was a table available for us. Roger (the sommelier) was amazing, extremely knowledgeable of the wine, and also of the other wineries in the area, and he definitely made the experience memorable. I would highly recommend Marynissen, but also recommend making a reservation so that you are not disappointed.

This was the highlight of our trip. We stopped on an afternoon without a reservation and were still welcomed to a tasting. I would still recommend you reserve. We were seated behind the tent (I would actually ask for that table if I were to go back) facing the fields. It was so quiet and beautiful. The tasting was remarkable. The sommelier was knowledgeable and friendly. We left with a box of wine and I know we'll be lifelong fans of this vineyard.

I had the pleasure over 15 years ago to visit Marynissen Estate Winery and taste their vintages. The staff was amazing and I purchased 2 bottles of 2001 Merlot and immediately laid them down in my cellar.
Today I had the pleasure of opening a bottle after 19 years of aging. With all honesty the wine aged extremely well and was an absolute delight to enjoy with friends over a Prime Rib dinner. Congrats Marynissen on an amazing product that stands the test of time.🍷😎👍
