Highly recommend M.s Toruń vinery and ranch ,My first winery experience in Napa Valley was excellent because mr.Siddik was so hospitable and knowledgable! We were there with a friend all perfectly accommodated. He made our visit unforgettable and we all hope to return soon. Our experience was truly one of a kind thanks to Mr Siddik,He also gave us tour to other close wineries and gave us a lot of information
One of the most authentic wine tasting experience I’ve ever had! The host, Sid, made our visit memorable with the wine and olive oil tasting, tour of his property and delicious homemade dishes. We’ll definitely be back again!
Highly recommend a visit to this beautifully situated, charming and friendly winery with gorgeous views out over the golden hills of Napa. It is astonishing what owner Sid and his family have created over 20 years with thousands of vines, olive groves and other trees on 400+ acre winery. The if you have not experienced a 20 dish farm to table repast complete with hand-crafted goat and feta cheese, estate grown nuts, preserves and honey, quiche and an remarkable selection of olives this is the place to do it. A beautifully set table and stunning views complete the experience. The stone round house and grounds would also be an excellent wedding venue or special gatherings place. We also enjoyed the tasty Cabernet. Stop by. Call in advance if you can but we just drove to the closed gate, called and we were driving up the drive in minutes.
This place is fantastic!!! I have been exploring wineries all over the area for a while now and this was by far the absolute best experience! All the food and wine is prepared by the owners and is absolutely delicious! You feel like you're visiting family or close friends, the scenery is gorgeous and it's just a one of a kind amazing experience you wouldn't get at a big overhyped winery.I can't recommend this place enough 13/10We purchased a cab-zinfandel blend and it was outstanding.
M.S. Torun WineryIt’s been four days since I visited this winery and I’m still shaking my head in wonder.This is a must see winery experience just to meet the creator of it all, Sidik Torun. His cabernet sauvignon is very good indeed but it pales in comparison to experience what this man has created single-handedly.The words that spring to mind are prodigious, awe-inspiring, incredible, wonderful.Sidik bought his land over 18 years ago and used up almost all his capital to do so. His estate was covered in mature oak trees and he was almost broke. So he began to clear the land by hand and sell firewood. He told me that he used to make three trips per day to San Francisco to do so, leaving at 4 a.m. and finally returning home at 10 p.m.He cleared enough land to begin planting olive trees and vines and building his home and tasting centre. He also built the long, steep, serpentine road from the valley to his eyrie just below a ridge. That is a story in itself.I was his last visitor of the day and I sat outside his house on the lawn at a table overlooking the valley and facing at the mountain range opposite. The table was covered in delicacies, a fresh tomato salad, three types of olives, olive oil, a small quiche, honey, mulberry juice reduction, walnuts, hazelnuts, feta cheese, another cow/goat cheese and something that reminded me of burrata. There were several more dishes and he took evident pride in telling me that they were all produced on his estate.To accompany all of this, I sipped a very fine cab, which had intense berries, a great, full mouth feel and long finish. You have to buy the wine by the bottle but I was glad to take most of it home to enjoy later.He is of Kurdish extraction and loves the mountains and his people who do not yet have a state.Sidik, you have my enormous admiration and respect. You have shown me what a man with great drive and determination can create. Congratulations!P.S. This estate takes some time to get to but is worth it… and be on time!
My husband and I drove into Napa Valley for the day. We had come over to escape the fires and smoke from Lake Tahoe. We were disappointed to learn that everywhere in Napa valley required a reservation and everything was full. We started our way back and came across a sign for a winery. We called and Sid gladly let us come in for a tasting. He was very polite and welcoming. It was fantastic! The food that he served was fresh from the farm and the wine was incredible. The views were breathtaking. I highly recommend this winery!
Mr. Mehmet Sıddık and his family are wonderful people. They have created a place like paradise in Napa. You must visit it to taste excellent wines and see the hospitality of the Kurds.
Wonderful food, wine, and setting.
We had a fabulous day.The tour included a farm to table food pairing. Fresh olives, cheeses, fruits, olive oil, jam, honey, walnuts and bread. The view was breath taking. It was amazing.
You really inspired me hearing your amazing story, it's awesome to own Little Kurdistan when we can't afford the big one! Thank you
