Dashed to Fresno from L.A. to 'hit' couple of wineries b4 endofday. Easily found Ficklin but were eager to find a second one harder to find. The sales manager was so effective, interesting and pleasant we hated to 'drink and run'. Having been to Puerto Portugal twice we were fascinated to find the connection here in our home state ( though we r living now in Tampa) due to Portugese VINES! I've bought Ficklin ports in Bermuda and in Florida and now will continue to. Bought 3 pack of their scrumny flavored ports w/ thought of sharing w/ son&wife and catsitter but we r keeping these ALL 2 OURSELVES????. Top it off, fellow saw to it we got to Solitary JUST in time b4 tgey closed!!! DO make this stop and buy their reasonably priced port!

Bird stone Winery is the Kirks work of art. The wines offer numerous options for everyone to enjoy from sweet to dry. The tasting room is quiet and tastefully decorated. The port is the best I’ve ever tasted. They host events both private and public.

We ate here based on our AirBNB hosts recommendation. Although we had a 35 minute wait due to the popularity of the restaurant, the food was worth waiting for. The sweet potato fries, BBQ burger, and various salads were of the highest quality and very fresh. Also the locally brewed beer is also a plus to go along with the food. Even though we're only here for a few days we'll probably go back.
7. Idle Hour Winery & Kitchen
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 26 reviews
We focus on single-vineyard designated wines: Rhone varieties from select Madera County vineyards, Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir and Clarksburg Tempranillo, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Franc. Our wines are produced in small lots. We use sustainably grown grapes and make the wine gently, using native yeasts, gravity flow and other traditional methods. We offer lunch Thursday thru Monday and Sunday brunch. We are located at the Queen's Inn By The River, our quaint 8-room inn and wine bar on the Fresno River.

We found Idle Hour on our search for a place to meet with family at a half way point in CA since some were driving from Bakersfield and the other from Sacramento. It ended up being a perfect day and we were pleasantly delighted in our visit to Idle Hour Winery and Kitchen. They just opened after being closed for some time and added a marketplace to purchase their wines as well as some delicious spiced honey. We had lunch outside on a platform placed directly in the sun to keep us warm. We order the tasting as well as the cheese platter with fruit and meat. That was when we had a taste of their honey. Yum. The salad they made was with crispy artichoke hearts on a bean puree. So delicious. As each wine was brought out we received an overview of the wine we were tasting. The labels are beautiful and interesting story behind them. They had a small menu but I have to say that what they served was worth the trip.
