Bella Popa’s Venue Guide · Wine Country tasting room, Anza Road

Lorimar Vineyards & Winery

A fusion of wine, art, music and food.

Lorimar's Wine Country tasting room on Anza Road is a Tuscan-style winery with valley and mountain views. It pairs its wines with live music, local art and food served on the patio. This guide covers the Wine Country location, not Lorimar's separate Old Town tasting room.

Guest feedback · Summarized from the OpenTable reviews visible on the listing, written in 2024

  • Live music. The draw guests mention most, though one noticed the usual band was missing, and another found the music too loud for conversation.
  • Setting. Guests like the shaded, misted outdoor layout and the spots near the fountain.
  • Wine & staff. The wine gets praise, and several guests describe the staff as excellent.
  • Food & pace. Mixed: some call the food delicious and others average, and one guest reported slow service on repeat visits.
