Odonata Wines South - Winery in Salinas - 645 River Rd, USA

We started here as part of a three winery tour on a Saturday. We were the only people there early in the day, and we had a long visit with the winemaker. The setting is perfection! We loved the wines. We would definitely recommend, and we will definitely return.

Small family owned winery. Absolutely best sparkling wine you can get, hands down. The winery is cute and pleasant, great place to enjoy the sun with a nice glass. But what really makes it is the staff and owner. Genuine, caring, good people. There's nothing to not like. Don't question it, just go.

My husband and I stopped in on a Wednesday around noon and had an amazing time with Daniella. We did a tasting and were immediately greeted with some delicious welcome pours of their sparkling varietals. We then each did a tasting and not a single wine was a disappointment. The vibe was relaxing and so much more welcoming than some of the more commercialized vineyards in the area. We were so delighted with our trip, I would have stayed longer if we had the time to spare. It was a lovely experience and I highly recommend! Dennis also stopped to speak with us briefly and we got to learn more about the vineyard and the seasonal impacts it has on the wines available. Honestly 10/10 would return!

Our Corvette Club came here for wine tasting experience today. We were greeted by a very friendly staff and really enjoyed the wine tasting experience. I highly recommend giving them a try. They are a great family owned winery just starting out that needs some love. Your sparkling Wine is absolute best. Cheers

We visited Odonata on a super quiet weekday. Only 4 more people were visiting at that time. It was a lovely experience. You can tell that the Odonata Team is very passionate about what they do. The wines were very good and the venue was beautiful. Highly recommendable!

This is a hidden gem! The wines were very good and the setting Iow key - just the way it used to be! Napa and Sonoma are more like Disneyland now - tasting here is much less ‘crazy’ and is done in a more relaxed manner.

We attended this venue as guests. For it was a celebration for students who were being honored by teachers in the CTE program.

Odonata is what you are looking for if you want a laid back, casual wine tasting experience backed up with interesting, thought-provoking wine. They have a wide selection sure to provide something you can enjoy, and Eric the tasting room manager is welcoming, knowledgeable, and great to chat with. Looking forward to our next visit!
