"The tasting room may be new (as of May 2021), but the family behind Rustiqué has been making wine here since 2006." - Aislyn Greene

I had my wedding at Rustique Vineyard and it was the most BEAUTIFUL day ever. First off the scenery was absolutely stunning! Eveything was perfect! Rustique staff helped me find the exact vendors I wanted. I could not have asked for a better venue. Thank you for making my dreams come true. Forever grateful! 🤍🙏🏽👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️

Great wines. Definitely an startup and up and comer with very bright future. Wines are very good and the values are excellent. Bring your own food as they don’t serve any at this time. Family owned operation. The server who is the sister of the wine maker is super friendly and sweet. Highly recommend the place.

Wow! Had an awesome time tasting some wine at Rustique before Chad let us indulge in some Pinot grapes right from the vine! The barn is gorgeous, the restrooms are extremely new & nice, and the views of rolling hills and lavender fields in the distance make this winery picture perfect. Bravo Rustique! We’ll be back for sure!

Great wines, cool barn location with indoors and outdoors seating, and multiple events. We're excited for the seasonal market with vendors, food trucks, and live music.

Such a great find in Monterey county for Pinot and Chardonnay. If you like Santa Lucia Highlands style wine, you'll love this down to earth, family owned and operated winery. The Pinot is full bodied and has an interesting peppery note. The chardonnay is crisp unlike the super buttery style of Napa. The winemaker Chad and the whole team / family are so welcoming. We also had pours of a 2017 and 2009(!!) Vintage as part of the tasting flight, basically unheard of unless you're super vvip at other wineries. Love that we could pop in without a reservation and they are family friendly. Easy drive without hilly roads. Definitely bookmark this place for a visit.

Rustique has some of the best wines we have ever had and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. It is a great place for live entertainment as well.

I love the "rustique" vibes of the wine tasting and "barre" class in the barn. DJ-Renzo was on point with his music mix. They have plenty of nice sitting outside to chill. Most of all, wine was excellent 👌

Nice Sunny day. People enjoying live music and good wine. Also they have an open air vintage fire truck that gives you a tour of the vineyards. The kids love it. Also its dog friendly.

We dropped in Saturday around 12:20pm since we were in the area already. There was no one there except a staff. Molly was great! She was very informative and friendly. I'm glad we came when it was empty! Tasting fee was $20 for 4 wines but we also got to taste a Syrah and stainless steel Chardonnay. Wines are some bolder and some lighter. Some earth and some fruit. We liked the estate Pinot noir (earthy) and the oaked Chardonnay the best (not as oakey compared to some) We were able to waive 1 tasting fee with 2 bottles purchase. I heard you can go a few times a week and still get free tastings like other places if you are members unlike other wineries. They have spacious outdoor and the indoor is also a good size. Nice and clean restrooms outside in another building. You can bring outside food. I saw that they sell some cheese and snacks too.

Very outstanding service to fine young lady whose was able to connect with us rather than just serving us our pours. Really nobody other than a family was present as well but it was so beautiful outside. I'd recommend stopping by here! Wish we would have bought a bottle. Will be back soon.

We'll this has to be my favorite winery on River Road in the Salinas Valley. They are making great wines from a young winemaker, Chad Silacci. The tasting is an old bar with picturesque views of the Salinas Valley. This can be a really chill spot or a hopping adventure with live music and pop up shops on the weekends. Come follow them For pop up paint days. The service is spot on with a great crew that talks about the wine, where it is grown and how to pair it. Though, it feels rustic, you will enjoy just sitting around and watching the grapes grow.

Great little winery. The wine maker and his sister runs the joint. She is sweet and beautiful. The wines are excellent. The location is amazing. The terroir is chemically similar to château neuf du pape. Bring your own snacks and sit outdoors and take in the beautiful views, while you sip your wine.

My new favorite local winery!! The winemaker is more than helpful with talking about the wines and process. The environment is so calming and inviting for friends and family. The Chardonnay from the steel been is absolutely delicious and the one from the oak barrel is just out of this world! Bring your picnic items and enjoy the fabulous view and breeze from the Salinas valley. An experience and a way of life!

We love Rustique and become members of their wine club. We appreciate the wonderful service & great wines.

Small winery, but part of a substantial ag family. They have put together a tasting room and entertainment area to handle a party in a beautiful farm setting. I recommend signing up to be notified about upcoming events they are planning if you live near or travel to the Salinas Valley. The wines are interesting being ambitiously improved.

Good wines, nice venue. A Little pricey. Cheapest wine you'll find is $36. Ambiance is great. Wine-tender was super friendly and helpful.

Great winery! We became members! Beautiful Pinot noir and chardonnay. Reminds me of Testarossa winery quality and types/style of wine (90+%) at about 60% of the price. I highly recommend Rustique Wines.

It's lovely and we had a blast painting our pets in the tasting room. We will definitely return!

We had a private party here in January and it was absolutely perfect. We have also been coming here to drink wine and spend some time in the idyllic scenery for several years. Their wines are some of the best we've ever had.

Great venue but the wine is not the greatest went out a couple weeks ago they were charging $25 per person for a band . We have listened to live music at many local wineries and never paid a penny.

This is a must go to place, it is very welcoming and beautiful. The wines are really good here. Very nice atmosphere. I came here with my husband and friends on a Friday night. Good wine and live music.

Fabulous new winery on River Road with a charming barn tasting room and delicious Chardonnay and Pinot Noirs!

We stopped there for the first time last weekend. They have a limited variety of wines, Pinots and Chards both of the were very good. This is well worth the stop if you are driving down River Road.
