- AAggieHawaii •4 reviews5.0Dined on May 24, 2025Our group enjoyed the music of tenor ED BENES together with our collegues. Pizza (all three choices) was amazing, a wonderful paring with their wine. This is a family centered event which seated at about 5PM and ended by 9 PM. No Cover. We will refer this venue to friends and family for an amazing evening in the outdoors with great food and live music.More infoVista Ranch and CellarsPrice: Expensive• American• Merced•4.8
