The Vine Yard, LLC

Wow, just wow. This was like art you could taste...the wines... the cheeses... the cured meats...the bread...the borsch....in a lovely, intimate setting.....AMAZING. Roberto was the host of hosts, a kind man with an interesting story, answers to my redundant questions and a great sense of humor. Ok, back to the wine, you can taste the passion that goes into his craft... well balanced and delicious! (The first time I've truly enjoyed a tempranillo and shiraz!) The red zin was just delectable! The entire process, start to finish takes place right on his property. Who knew a quality of wine this high could be created in Utah?! I can't wait to return! *Call ahead to make an appt. Muchas gracias Roberto!!!

We planned a bike tour of Zion and the greater St. George area for October this year. As we were making plans we came across The Vine Yard winery and made reservations with Roberto. We try to find local wineries wherever we travel but knowing nothing about Utah wines we relied on the online reviews of others. It turned out to be the most memorable part of our vacation. Roberto is not only an expert wine maker but also a most excellent host. We entered and were seated at a dining room table covered in meats and cheeses with bread and crackers (I could write paragraphs on the quality and types of food but that would rob you of having the emotion we had when we walking into the room and sat down). Roberto served wine at a leisurely pace, taking time to explain about everything about the wine: soil, climate, water, harvest, yeasts… and answered our questions. The wines, all of them, were excellent and beyond any of our expectations. Roberto truly loves his craft and it shows as he shares his wine with others. If you love wine and love experiencing wines with someone who really loves wine then please make a reservation and visit Roberto. Our many thanks to him for the most memorable wine tasting experience any of us has ever had (and that includes many, many tastings in; California, Washington, Texas, New Mexico, Germany and Italy).

I had an incredible experience at Roberto’s vineyard, The Vine Yard LLC, in Leeds, Utah. Roberto graciously hosted us in his home and shared fascinating stories and backgrounds with every bottle he poured. His passion for winemaking truly shines through, and it was clear he puts his heart into his craft. Roberto is not only an amazing man with a great story but also a wonderful host. The setting is perfect for a group of about eight, though Roberto was more than happy to accommodate a larger party. He went above and beyond by preparing delicious food and offering an incredible selection of cheeses that paired perfectly with the wines. Celebrating my birthday here made the day truly special — it was a fun and memorable experience I won’t forget. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a personal, intimate wine tasting with a story behind every sip!

Wine in Utah? Who knew? I work for a winery in Woodinville, WA. While visiting family in Hurricane my brother shared an article about the Utah Wine Trail. The varietals at The Vine Yard definitely peaked my interest so called for an appt. We were able to get in the following day. What a unique experience! Roberto hosts these very personal tastings in his home, accompanied by a huge tapas spread and homemade borscht! He shared the story of his hand planted vineyard, the sweet meaning of Cheers-Tin, and blended a GSM in our glasses. We ended with a tour of the vineyard and wine marking process. Highly recommend!

Simply the best wine experience in Utah! You won't find a more experienced person who has a better passion for their craft in this state!

This was the best wine tasting experience I have ever had. Roberto prepared a beautiful and filling table of food/appetizers for our group and then proceeded to tell incredible stories of the many wines made there right on site. He welcomes you into his home and heart with kindness. The wines are absolutely wonderful, and the enjoyable conversation in such a magnificent place is priceless. This is a must-do when visiting the Vegas or Zion areas!

Here’s the short version of my review…..If you find yourself anywhere in southern Utah, call Roberto and make a reservation for a wine tasting. I promise you that you will not be disappointed! For those looking for more details, read on! My wife and I have done many wine tastings around the US and abroad. None of them compare with what Roberto provides. The main reason you do a wine tasting (obviously!) is for the wine. Roberto’s wines are on par with anything you will find. Across the board, every wine we tasted was fantastic! And the tapas were delicious, as well. What really set this experience apart was Roberto’s personality and passion for his craft. He is a pleasure to sit and chat with (which we did for a few hours!) His insights and stories were very informative and entertaining. After a few minutes you’ll feel as though you are sharing wine with an old friend. Thank you, Roberto, for a marvelous afternoon!

this was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had with a wine tasting. Roberto was such a great host and completely opened up with his heart and soul the passion he has for the wine that he makes. He took it above and beyond and if they were 10 stars, I would give it to him. Please try to schedule a tasting with him!
