Fodor's Review:

Reminiscent of a Tuscan villa, with its ocher-color buildings surrounded by olive trees, sprawling Viansa focuses on Italian varietals such as sangiovese, dolcetto, and tocai friulano. Fodor's readers are generally split when summing up the charms of the winery. Some love the market on the premises that sells sandwiches and deli foods to complement the Italian-style wines, as well as a large selection of dinnerware, cookbooks, and condiments. Others find the cavernous size of the market and the crowds that tend to congregate here off-putting. Regardless, the picnic area that overlooks the wetlands below is a fine place to enjoy a glass of wine while bird-watching.
