The staff was very friendly and attentive. The wines, slushies, and sangrias, are all delicious. We brought our own snacks but they also had two food truck options. I highly recommend reserving a gazebo or pergola if you go with a group.

Spent a wonderful day at Aquila’s next enjoying wine outside with beautiful views and then ending the evening dancing at their Hollywood to Bollywood event. Highly recommend the wine flights!
