I had the most BEAUTIFUL wedding ceremony here!!
The staff at Cielo Estate is amazing to work with. I had a DIY budget wedding, and never in a million years did I think I could have my wedding at such a beautiful location. Rami worked with me and we were able to make the ceremony fit in my price range!
The week before my wedding, rain was covering the forecast. I though for sure that we were going to have to move my ceremony indoors. Dave and I messaged/called back and forth creating a back-up plan for my wedding. It got to the point where my back-up plan sounded just as beautiful as my outdoor plan - I wasn't saddened by the thought of rain at all!
It didn't end up raining, so we got to have our beautiful ceremony outdoors. Dave even saved the leftover flower arrangements from the wedding the day before us in their large refrigerator, and gifted them to us! We would have paid hundreds of dollars for arrangements like those. Not many occasions where your vendor will go out of their way to think about your special day and save/gift things to you. The extra greenery made my ceremony that much more stunning.
They also let me use their GORGEOUS bridal suite for a few hours before the wedding, even though it wasn't in our original agreement. They honestly just wanted us to have an amazing day. You could tell they aren't money-driven. They just love what they do.
All-in-all, I can't recommend enough. Rami and Dave made my special day more than I ever imagined, and Cielo Estate Winery is stunning.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jun 20, 2019Previous reviewI had the most BEAUTIFUL wedding ceremony here!!

I don't understand how people drink the trash wine from this place. You are doing good if you can find a variety that isn't offensive with tannins and bad aftertaste. You can buy $5 bottles from Grocery Outlet all day long that are equal or better to this poor quality wine. Don't believe wine ratings anymore, high scores here still = trash.

Update!!! Thursday, January 17, 2024 my sister in law was in town so I gathered a few friends and we were going to meet at Cielo for wine tasting. We checked google and the website, both said they were open Thursday through Sunday 11:am til 5:00 pm. I also had received an email stating they were having a "happy hour and trivia" from 3:00 to 7:00 pm. We drove up to Cielo from Sacramento, we were to meet Cathi, my S-I-L there because she was staying with her kids in El Dorado Hills. We pulled up to the gate at 11:30 am and the gate was closed, so I called their phone. On the answering machine message the voice said they are open Friday through Sunday. I called Cathi immediately so she didn't drive all the way there. As it turned out they were almost there but turned around to go back to El Dorado Hills. We decided to go to a restaurant and have lunch. We had a great time anyway, that worked out but cost all 5 of us about $40 each! Since Cielo sent an email about having a "happy hour" that day, I started calling their number to see if they were going to be open at 3:00. I started calling at 2:30, I called at 2:45, 3:00 and 3:15! NOBODY ANSWERED! Before we headed back towards Sacramento, I asked my friends if they would mind if I drive back to Cielo because I was curious if they were open. Sure enough the were open, but only one car in the parking lot. We walked in and I asked the older grey haired lady and the young man standing behind the counter if they knew their website states that they are open Thursday through Sunday. They said they just found that out from the couple that had just left. We were the only customers their so I asked "since your website has the wrong information and we drove all the way up here can we get our wine tastings we get with out membership? They said No, today is only open for the happy hour. I asked "what is happy hour"? They answered " you can buy a glass of wine for $7. I replied with, "I would like to cancel my membership please." They said "Ok". And went to their screen to cancel my membership! NO, "I am so sorry you drove up here for nothing, I'm sorry our website misled you, NOTHING! We were all blown away by such poor customer service. I have a feeling the winery will not last long unless somebody doesn't correct their errors! My daughter is director of operations for the Minden Mill in Minden Nevada, that would never happen in her business!!!

Don't join the wine club - they never let you leave.
I really enjoyed this winery when I first joined in 2018. The wine room manager & the wine maker were very good. 2019 they changed both & the wine room manager was very opinionated & bossy. The wine went down hill as well.
I was trying to still support local business so I stayed on even though I stopped bringing friends in to try it.
I cancelled my wine club in January & am still getting charge every other month. You have to dispute the charges right away as the winery will not refund you.
Buyer beware.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Rachael S.Pittsburg, CA516611Mar 9, 2023
We absolutely enjoyed our visit. We took our wine staff for market research! What a gem ! We had to buy a case, and the hospitality was wonderful! They gave us wine to try also. So glad we adopted this winery to be a Tin Roof wine cafe family! If you haven't been, it's an absolutely amazing experience! Go,go, check them out!

WARNING WARNING WARNING, WARNING, WARNING, WARNING
I called Cielo winery to hold off on my membership due to fraud issues. I have had two deaths in my family out of state. I just recieved an email on 7/21/23 threatening me if I don't pay for 7 pick ups, they will send me to collections. WTF? I never recieved wine from them, I never signed a contract or anything stating if I don't pick up my wine, I will be sent to collections. Stuff happens in people's lives. This winery is terrible, insensitive, desparate thretnening innocent people. I will never go there for the rest of my life! You have been warned. I have to fee four children before I go give them any of my hard earned money. I've never, never, never had this done from any winery who I joined, later paused or canceled my membership.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Olivia S.Sacramento, CA0138Aug 13, 2022

Beautiful view, great wine, lovely service and such a relaxing atmosphere. It's great to see families and their dogs enjoying the grounds too. I've taken a few people there and I've had no complaints. If anything, those who live near by (I live in Sac) are wondering why I'm the one introducing them to a winery closer to them!

Came here to check it out as a wedding venue and ended up becoming wine club members that day! The hospitality and service was amazing, not to mention the wine too! The tasting was 10$ and we got to try 10 wines that day. All of them were pretty good. Nancy was helping us that day and she was so pleasant and great at explaining the various characteristics of the different wines. We came back the following weekend and we were greeted by the same amazing service. It's nice to come to a place and feel so welcome.
