The crew really made us feel at home in their tasting room, which is actually two rooms in what felt like what was a more rustic homey setting, like a place you can kick back and curl up by the fire. It was the perfect way to end our tasting. The Black Muscat was also another highlight as I've never had a Muscat with that deep of color and flavor of cherries and strawberries. I really loved the La Salette wine at Vezer, which is a unique combination of wines, petite sirah and zinfandel, and at 90 dollars a bottle was a real treat, and it's a wine that deliberately ages well, so expect me to pick that one in the near future. Who knew this even existed? But I loved them as well as the salty almonds that came with them. What kept the flavors of each of the wines so strong was we were treated to specialty crackers that cleansed your palette in between wine sips. The tastings included the one white the 2014 Estate Verdelho, as well as the 2013 Cabernet Franc, 2013 Estate Zinfandel, 2011 La Salette, and the 2012 Estate Black Muscat- Franci. They seem to specialize in reds at Vezer, as five of our pours for our tasting were all lovely deep colored reds. You can't go wrong with a flavor profile like that. ![]() Vezer's wines are all aromatic, sweet and bold, with a combination of flavors of from fruits such as berries, cranberries, bing cherries and strawberries. ![]() ![]() I had only peripherally heard of this region before, but today my friends and I were given a front seat introduction to three of the wineries along the Suisun Valley Road exit off of Interstate 80. It's easy to get them confused, as this one is called the Mankas Corner Tasting Room because it's literally on the corner of Mankas Corner Road, the other is called the Blue Victorian (home to said blue house) and it's just up the street along Suisun Valley Road. This is one of two tasting rooms in the valley owned by Vezer that the public can come to try their wines. A true definition of what a staycation is supposed to be all about. Many people don't even know that this region of wine growing even exists so it's nice to discover hidden gems in the Bay Area. Either change your participation to 21 and over only or treat everyone fairly.Vezer Family Vineyard is at the epicenter of the wine revolution going on right now in the heart of the Suisun Valley in Solano County. We had a choice and I would choose to not patronize a winery that invites patrons with children to attend but then subjects them to discriminatory practices upon arrival. If they had told someone that was ethnic or a senior citizen they had to sit in the far back section because they were ethnic or of advanced age there would be outcry. Of course, wineries can have rules about 21 and over, which I’ve seen before, but we were assured we would be welcomed and were encouraged to buy tickets only to be subjugated to segregation practices. When I asked why couples with children couldn’t sit on the patio she said “in case things get crazy down there we don’t want her affected.” □□♀️ It was so literally ridiculous and discriminatory. She then told us that people with children had to sit on the porch which was far behind the patio area. Immediately the woman greeting us did not want us to be there in spite of our reservation. ![]() We acquired 3 tickets, arrived at 6pm and if you’ve been to jazz night it’s hosted on the patio. The woman associate checked with management and told us it was fine if she came but we needed to sit on the patio. We called in advance to request if my husband and I could bring our daughter to jazz night since we visiting the area for the month.
