I would recommend you make this a last or near last stop on the wine trail. Since ports are General ain't much sweeter then regular wines. Every port sampled was delicious and the staff was very accommodating and informative.

As far as winery's in Madera go, Quady is one of the nicest as far as presentations go. Definitely worth the visit. They have a large selection of sweeter wines as well as the normal regimen. Great tasting room and they always participate in the local wine trail events with food and extras.

My Son bought tickets for myself and his Grandmother for Birdstones Mothers Day Brunch. It was a lovely day ! An all you wanted Mimosa bar, VERY generous wine tasting, A glass of wine of your choice for during your meal, and a simple yet tasty Brunch. AND a wonderful duo EL ENCANTO playing beautiful flamenco music all throughout. The owners and all staff were very friendly as well. We hope they repeat next Mothers Day, and we will definitely attend.

Reviewed By J-from-Marysville - Marysville, Ohio

Disappointed. My wife and I were excited to try this winery. We had seen a wine list that looked to offer the types of wine we like. But, they don't ship to all states. Their map looks like several states east of the Mississippi are not on their shipping list. Advice: always ask if the winery will ship to your state, unless you plan on carrying your wine home.

Madera Speedway

We have been to the track numerous times and have always had a great time. This is one of the few asphalt tracks left in California and it attracts some of the better drivers in the central valley. The food and drinks are reasonably priced. Bring ear plugs for the kids.

Skywalk Trampoline Arena

Reviewed By mclanea - San Diego, California

Super impressed with this attraction. We heard the most dreaded words imaginable after an 8 hour drive with a car full of kids when we checked into our hotel... "Sorry, the pool is closed." We were stoked to find this place. Very reasonable price and our kids had a blast jumping and climbing and slack lining for an hour. For the amount of use it gets, it was very clean. The staff were great. And most importantly... my kids were tired after an hour!
