Great vibes. Lots of spaces to hang out! Super kid friendly and great drink and food options.

Also, Isaac was great! He was working food at the outdoor grill but gave me a thorough run down of the lay of the land here. Excellent attention to detail, give him a raise!

We did a tasting, did not stay there or try any food. Our experience was very nice, the servers were pleasant and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed all of the wines we tasted. The other customers were well behaved and respectful, which is not always the case where alcohol is served. We spent a wonderful afternoon there and hope to be back soon!

The winery is beautiful and the wine tasting was a delightful experience. The only problem we encountered was the service. Seem like a couple of the bartenders were in a mood. Was patiently waiting but was skipped over multiple times. Seemed like the bartenders would help people they knew first then anyone else at random. As my first time experiencing the winery I was expecting a more professional environment.

First wine tasting trip and checked out Wilson Creek on 8/23/24. Very friendly and helpful staff. They kindly explained the process and showed us to one of the two large bars. Six tastings for 25 bucks on a Friday.

Darrell (spelling?) Poured our samplings and was super cool. He was very knowledgeable about all the wines on the menu and ones that were not. Thank you Darrell! Lots of outdoor seating too!

Spent about three hours and had a great experience!

My family and I came for wine by the glass and were not disappointed. Their white Cabernet is delicious and refreshing. We purchased a bottle to enjoy at home. Their food is also really good and portions are generous! service was excellent and everyone had a great time. We’d come again to try the almond Prosecco!

Dear Wilson Creek Winery Management,

I am writing to share a deeply disappointing experience I had during my visit to your winery on Saturday, 10/12. What should have been a joyful celebration of my girlfriend’s 30th birthday was ruined by the biased and unprofessional behavior of your employee, Carly, and the mishandling of the situation by your manager, Christina Berry.

The first issue arose when I was registering for our tour. The employee assisting me was reviewing my reservation when Carly interrupted, suggesting she check for proof of payment. While I found this uncomfortable, I didn’t think much of it at the time. Unfortunately, things took a serious turn later when I purchased a cigar from the gift shop.

After purchasing the cigar, Carly insisted I take a bag, stating, “people might think it’s stolen.” This comment was offensive and completely unnecessary. The cigars are locked behind a glass case, behind a counter with employees in between, and I had just purchased the cigar from Carly herself. This wasn’t about whether I should take a bag—it was about Carly’s biased assumption that, without a bag, people would assume I had stolen the cigar. It was demeaning and made me feel singled out based on unfair assumptions.

When I brought this to the attention of your manager, Christina Berry, I expected her to address the seriousness of Carly’s comment. However, Christina completely sidestepped the issue. Rather than acknowledge how inappropriate and offensive Carly’s comment was, she focused on the fact that offering a bag is “standard protocol.” She never addressed the actual issue—that Carly made a ridiculous, biased comment when I declined the bag. When I pointed out that another customer who purchased a cigar didn’t receive this supposed protocol, Christina’s response was to offer me a free bottle of wine.

Offering a free bottle of wine might be an appropriate gesture if there was a minor inconvenience, like a fly in the food or a delayed reservation. But it is completely inadequate and insulting in a situation where a customer has experienced discrimination. Christina’s response trivialized the seriousness of the issue and made it clear that she wasn’t interested in addressing the real problem—biased and unfair treatment.

I was planning to return to Wilson Creek in the future and was even considering a membership. I had envisioned bringing my close friends and family to enjoy the winery. However, after experiencing this discriminatory treatment and seeing how management handled it, I will never return to your establishment. I will not recommend Wilson Creek to anyone, as it’s clear that this place tolerates racist behavior.

I returned the bottle of wine because I’m not interested in compensation—I’m looking for accountability. I strongly suggest that your staff, especially management, undergo diversity and inclusion training so that all customers are treated with the respect and fairness they deserve. No one should feel singled out or scrutinized based on biased assumptions, especially on what should have been a special occasion.

This experience left a lasting negative impression, and I hope you take this complaint seriously. I would appreciate a response explaining how you plan to address this issue and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.

Beautiful winery and the wine one if the best. You have to take a tour of the winery is worth every cent!!! My favorite are the sparkling wines.
