VIE Winery

Spent a delightful day at the VIE wineries in February for a friend’s birthday. Super friendly staff, fun and interesting spaces (there’s a porthole in one!), yummy libations.
Bought a bottle of wine as well, which ended up having gone bad. Experienced excellent customer service after reporting it – was mailed a replacement and given a full refund!
Thank you VIE and Karen.

Wine and bocce ball on Treasure Island? That’s pretty cool
Have a voucher for a free taste tour and 2 hours play? That’s cooler
There are 2 bocce courts rented by the hour. The venue itself looks nice with the wood walls, string lights, and floral décor. It’s a bit hidden so it might be difficult to get to but when you see the bocce courts, you’ll know.
The wine was good but didn’t really fit my tastes. I had a lot of fun playing bocce ball on a beautiful San Francisco day. VIE is definitely worth checking out

I had the pleasure of visiting VIE on a Unilocal Wine Tour a couple of months ago. We had started at Winery SF and were walked over to VIE while being told about how it was started and why on Treasure Island. It was awesome!
We were able to taste a wine or two at this venue and then moved on to the next. I would definitely come back for a full tasting!!!

It’s close by to San Francisco if you want a wine tasting near the city. There is a bus that will take you directly to Treasure Island.
The place is a bit hard to find since there are no signs, but I believe google has good enough GPS to lead you to it.
The place is unique with statues and random props since it is near a photography studio. You can definitely take pictures especially near the bathrooms.
It was $ 20 for 5 tastings and an extra $ 5 for Bocce ball.

Vie is one of the 5 wineries on the south side of Treasure Island that are all within walking distance of each other. If it’s a nice day, they have the best view and event space of the bunch (bocce ball courts and shaded picnic table). The interior is basic but nice (and dog friendly, yay), and the staff are pleasant although often a bit busy due to Vie’s popularity. The wines are done on the South of France model– lots of GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mouvedre) offerings, and of all the ones I tried, I liked their basic GSM blend the best, but not sufficiently to tempt me to purchase a couple bottles, even to mitigate the $ 15 tasting fee. But, I’d come back, perhaps with a picnic lunch and a reservation for some bocce.

Sub par wine and rude service. Surrounding wineries have much better customer service and are more friendly. We were part of a private party and arrived early. They assumed — and well– when you assume things you just make an ass of yourself.

Nice people, nice service, but the wine is only okay and the price is stupid. I just bought three (better) bottles of wine for the same price as two tastings at vie.

Decent wine and friendly staff, but a $ 15 tasting fee for four wines is ridiculous. The pours were also very small.
Worst of all, the server didn’t tell us the price until we were done, and its not printed on the menu! Sketchball.

VIE Winery is a really fun place to spend an afternoon. Their wines are solid, the location is amazing, and Karen is the best. Karen is very knowledgeable and loves talking shop with people who come in for a taste. We immediately joined their wine club about a year ago and we’ve enjoyed all of the shipments we’ve received. They are focused on Syrahs lately, so if you’re a Syrah lover, this is a great find.

Great find! Of the three wineries we visited on the island, this one had the best wine. They are known for their syrahs, and it shows. The service is friendly, attentive, and the views of SF and the bridge can’t be beat. They also have bocce ball courts available to reserve. We were a large group of 18, but it felt like we received the attention a smaller group would have. I did think $ 15 to taste was a bit steep for TI, and there is only a break if you buy 2 bottles of wine in one purchase. Still, a great experience overall.

LOVE everything about this place. We had 12 people a birthday celebration and we could not have picked a more perfect place. We did a tasting at the main building, a barrel sampling, a second tasting at Vie, picnicked, and bocce balled for about 30 mins. We had so much fun and the people who worked there were so kind, accommodating, and knowledgable about the wines and process. The setting is simple, rustic and with awesome water views. Short drive from the city too and plenty of parking. Had so much fun, and we will definitely do again! Thank you, Vie!

What a wonderful spot!!!
A great spot to go for a tasting with friendly staff and great views. Don’t forget to make a reservation both for your tasting and for the bocce ball courts. Bring snacks.
I’m not very discerning when it comes to wine, but I liked it… So don’t take this rating as a reflection of how great their wine is if you are serious about wine.

Nice little spot on Treasure Island to relax and enjoy some vino. They also have bocce ball courts and picnic tables in front of their tasting room!

UNACCEPTABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES & TREATMENT OF CUSTOMERS: DO NOT GO HERE!
We had a pre-​paid 30^th birthday party for our friend planned this Sunday at Vie for several weeks. Today they contacted us to let us know that they had to cancel on us due to double booking. In other words, someone offered them more money for a private party and so they decided to cancel on us. Given the fact that this was scheduled to happen in less than two days, we are left with no other options because it’s too last minute at this point to go elsewhere.
Thanks for ruining our friend’s 30^th birthday Vie!
This is some of the tackiest business I’ve ever seen. Shame on them and I hope people think twice about spending money at a place that treats their patrons this way.
The only consolations left at this point are: knowing that I didn’t give my money to such shady people (yes they did actually refund and not collect double profits how nice of them) and that they just lost at least 12 future customers as a result of their inexcusable business practices.

I came here last weekend for a friend’s birthday, I’ve been to The Winery which is close by. This place was small but pleasant. The people who worked there could have been a bit more attentive, and there aren’t many chairs to sit and enjoy with friends. I think because there are picnic benches outside so they are trying to get people to sit out there. Still a fun time though. $ 15 for a tasting.

I was part of a wine tour which brought us to three wineries on Treasure Island. Vie is mediocre at best. No character to the wines, although the staff was pleasant — except for when we wanted to use the Bocce courts! A large factor here could be our tour since there were many wines available for tasting which were not on our schedule. I feel strongly however, if the three tastings you offer me on a tour are this bad, there is no reason I will return when I drive over to experience the other wineries which were not on our tour.
Admittedly, they have two Bocce courts and picnic tables. Remember to reserve them in advance and bring a picnic (there isn’t any place selling food here). Maybe if you’re lucky you’ll find a wine you like and the experience can be very nice.

Yeah, drinking wine on the water and watching boats is pretty awesome. Great view of the city and the bridges.
I think the wine was good? With a location like that though, who cares.

THE BEST. Came here over the weekend for the Treasure Island Flea Market. We weren’t really sure what to expect, but wanted a chance to get out of the city. This gem of a winery is hidden — you have to go behind The Winery (thats the name of another winery on the island) then walk across the parking lot and locate the metal shed looking building by the water. That’s the tasting room. On a nice day its great — they have bocce ball out by the water, and the guys who run the tasting are hilarious. As soon as we walked in they started pouring and they were super friendly.
Thought it was a major downfall that they don’t have a bathroom — totally not an issue. They have the most PRISTINE port-​a-​potty I’ve ever seen in my life. Ask them about it and they’ll brag for days about its cleanliness. Definitely a place I’d go back to. Just a tip, if you go to The Winery first, and mention that you’re thinking about going to Vie, they’ll give you a 2 for 1 tasting card :)

Vie Winery is fantastic, it has the look and feel of an urban winery, but the displacement of being on Treasure Island so you are able to feel like it is a bit of an escape. WIth beautiful views of San Francisco and the rest of the bay area, it is an awesome place to spend a beautiful day, (much like I have for the past 2 weekends). The look and feel of the space is pretty ‘cool’, you could call it urban chic (this makes me a little uncomfortable but I believe it is relevant). The wine is great, specifically the syrah, and the guy behind the counter, Jesse, is a total sweetheart. Not only does he know a lot about Vie wines, but he is also incredibly attentive and eager to make sure you and yours have a great time.
Awesome event spot potential, would love to host a couple of parties at Vie Winery for sure.
Oh, and they have two bocce courts. Awesome. If you have not ‘bocce’d’ you really need to do yourself a favor and try it out.
And people can bring dogs, so there is a huge change you will get to cuddle with another person’s dog, which is always a plus. The end.

I visited VIE while I was on Treasure Island for the flea market. We had a coupon for buy 1 tasting get 1 tasting free. The service was friendly, however they were very busy (due to the deal from the flea market) so it wasn’t the most attentive of service. It was also difficult to find the winery.
The wine was middle of the road: not the worst I have had, but not the best.
