Starfield Vineyards & Winery

An absolute must-visit! Gorgeous views, decadent wines (don't miss Spirit of the Gods if you enjoy dessert wine) and a very friendly dog-loving team.

This is the cutest little winery with the most delicious food! I HIGHLY recommend adding this to your Apple Hill stop. The winery property is absolutely gorgeous with plenty of photo opp worthy views. They have a great lunch menu and lunch is served on their seated lawn area that is nestled under some trees that provide decent shade during warmer weather days. The staff are super friendly and really seem like they enjoy working here. This winery is also very dog friendly! I’ve been here a few times and have always enjoyed myself and leave wanting to come back again.

What a beautiful place! The wine wasn't my favorite, but for a $10 tasting I'm not complaining. I did really enjoy the Barbero and the Spirit of the Gods dessert wine. We also ordered the charcuterie plate which was pretty good. But honestly you need to go walk around the property, that's where Starfield shines. Ellie was super knowledgeable and fun 😁

Beautiful new winery that has stunning landscaped grounds. The tasting room is brand new, and has extensive outside seating - it is stylishly done but understated compared to the other design aspects of the winery. The pavilion on the lake, the amphitheater and walking trail through the pines are all impressive.

The wines is good with the red blend Miners Inch an easy drinking option and the rose is pretty exceptional, especially on a warm California day.

Lunch options are now available and the food was really fantastic, utilizing fresh produce ingredients from 24 Carrot farm shop just across the road.

Dog friendly.

Happy that we are members!

Excellent views from their serving area that looks out over the hillsides. Steven was very informative and the cheese pairing were a nice touch. Five wines with decent servings in the tasting. Had lunch under the tree . Three of us had the French dip, very tasty. I got the peach mochi donuts. Voted best dessert at the table.

The charcuterie board paired with the red tasting and the white tasting in their outdoor seating area overlooking the area made for a perfect afternoon. Good wine, good cheese, a great walk around the ponds, and excellent service 5/5 stars!

Never been to the winery, but I had the pleasure of trying this delightful white wine because my friend Maggie loves it and she was entertaining me at her house. Pleasantly light and refreshing, this white wine paired perfectly woth a good evening with friends and mild heat.

We sat down by the lake since my friends is a member and the view was beautiful. The service was amazing. We ordered the cheese plate and was blown away, everything on it was spectacular. Everyone that worked there was super attentive and answered any questions we had. I will definitely be back.

I LOVE THIS WINERY! I've been to wineries all over the world, and this place has it all! The grounds are expansive & beautiful. There's walking/hiking trails, a lake with Gazebo and a beautiful outside tasting area (and much more). Everyone was very friendly, knowledgeable and went out of their way to make our visit special. They have a wide variety of wines (many are Rhone), something for everyone! We especially loved the Hope Rising, the Rose, Viognier and Roussanne, which is unusual because my husband is a red lover. The food is fantastic! We unfortunately didn't have time for lunch but did have a beautiful & delicious cheese plate. The Covid-19 protocol is very good and made us feel comfortable and safe. If you are going to Tahoe or in the Placerville area (even if you aren't), you must try this Winery! Ask for Anna. She is sweet, knowledgeable and a whole lot of fun. I also loved that she suggested food pairings/dishes that would go with each wine we tried!

This local gem is one of my favorite wineries. I love the beauty of the trails and the wine is very good. The chef is outstanding! Everything on the food menu is delicious. We love coming here.

Came by for a tasting and lunch appointment on a Sunday around noon. Had a great and in-depth tasting experience with a wonderful host that walked us through the wines, and gave some (brief)history about the vines and property as well. Lunch followed, and was fantastic! We really enjoyed everything starfield has to offer, and will be a must-visit every time we come up this way.

This is just a beautiful place and very well managed. The restaurant meals are fantastic. The wine is great and the setting can’t be beat.

really nice experience doing the wine tasting, ended up buying 6 bottles of various wines, certainly not the cheapest but super tasty and great quality wines

Really enjoyed our first visit here! Be sure to check out their very helpful website to help you plan your visit and make reservations, and they were also easy to communicate with over email and phone. My friends and I made a reservation for the nature trail, and it was lovely to stroll around the 3 miles of winding trails around the vineyard with a glass of their wine in hand. The amphitheater and small ponds/lakes are very pretty right now with some trees' leaves changing to their autumn color palettes. I only wish I would've had more time to try more of their wines -- I'll have to go back!

We came here while visiting some friends and had the best time. The wine was some of the best we had in the area!

Holly was our waiter and she was fantastic! We had each wine described to us and she really just made our experience. We had gone to another vineyard right before and the service and knowledge was such a step up here.

They have a Michelin star rated chef and it was very apparent because the food was very very good and reasonably priced.

You can walk through the vineyards and all of their trails are ADA! Dogs are allowed on property and they have water bowls for them.

They have great perks for members to including wine tasting in their pavilion by a body of water (looked like a pond but a big pond!).

I would definitely recommend!!

What a beautiful and well planned destination. 65 acres in the Sierra Foothills just outside Placerville. The entire library of wines are exceptional and nicely priced. The staff works their a$$es off to create a welcome and inviting experience. All have been knowledgeable and clearly enjoy their role in your visit. The food is off the charts! This has made me forget about Napa and the $100 wine tasting.

Ok, I don't understand the 4.4 rating. This place was AMAZING! We were a party of six, plus two dogs. We would not have had the privilege without the dog policy. We travel with our fur babies and would not have gone if they were not welcome. Thank you Starfield! We had lunch on the patio and it was delicious. And the wine? Can I say AMAZING again? Jack's are Wild was my favorite, but it was a hard choice. We had a magical time. One party member, who lives in the area, immediately bought a membership and has posted several additional visits. I'm envious. This is a five star plus place for sure. Just go.

Great experience! Took my gorgeous girlfriend to a tasting yesterday and we had a great time! The servers were really friendly, but I wasn’t a fan of the crabby guests sitting next to my girlfriend and I. These old ladies(looked 90) were being nasty, talking about an autistic person and making fun of them, how despicable! Another thing, they got upset that the guests behind them brought their dog to the winery. First of all, it’s a dog friendly place and second these “ladies”were about to leave. They disrespected the servers and made those guests feel unwelcome. The staff did a great job handling the situation and the new girl (she had a ponytail and was blonde) did a great job dealing with those geriatric geezers. Overall great time and great service!

This was our first winery we stopped at when we were exploring the area. There is a quiet revival going on and some wineries have opened themselves to the change and some have steadily plodded along, sticking to their traditional styles. We are very seasoned wine lovers who appreciate the details as much as the product. The thoughtfulness and creativity that comes from a crew who has, not only the chops, but the right people who can make everything they touch and everyone they serve feel special. I very much look forward to seeing what this winery can do going forward. My hope that their level of excellence is going to create a residual effect throughout the apple hill region. They’ve have definitely elevated the bar for the area. Cheers

Holly was THE BEST! Our first time on this property and she made the experience so enjoyable and was very informative with the wines. We tried 2 of the tasting and both charcuterie and cheese plates, everything is delicious. We will definitely be back, the place is beautiful
