We did a tour and tasting at Grape Creek Vineyards this weekend, and overall we felt it was a good value for the price of $45 per person. The short tram ride by the vines in the cool weather was really enjoyable and a nice way to start and finish the experience. We tasted four different wines inside the facility and then finished with a standing tasting where we each got to choose three wines from their tasting menu and sample their almonds as well. The woman leading our tasting was friendly, generous, and down to earth, which made that part of the experience especially pleasant. The only reason this isn’t a 5-star review is the pace of the tour. Wine is such a romantic and fun subject, and we were expecting the flow of the conversation and education to be a bit more relaxed. A good portion of the information felt rushed through, which took away from the overall atmosphere. That said, we would still definitely recommend checking it out. If you don’t want to do a shuttle service but still want to experience multiple wine stops at a vineyard (and not on Main Street), it’s an easy walk across the parking lot to Heath Sparkling Wines and makes for a great addition to the visit.
