"PERFECT WINERY. This was our first time at Grape Creek and decided to do the tour. I’m SO GLAD we did. My husband and I truly enjoyed ourselves the whole time. Cam, Steven and Dan were so amazing!!
For how many tastings you get and all the behind the scenes access, this tour is definitely worth it. Steven and Dan were so knowledgeable, patient and kind. I lean more towards the semi sweet and sweet wines, whereas my husband likes a little of this and that. Dan helped me fine my favorite wine of all time and even went as far as creating a blend of two wines that pair perfectly with steak. We ended up buying both wines!
You won’t be disappointed but a visit but I urge you to do the tour!! Totally worth it!"

"Amazing tour & taste experience! This vineyard is on the straight to consumer business model so you will be asked multiple times to join their club membership but there are many good reasons to join if you love their wine. The tour and taste gives visitors a chance to experience the wine and beautiful vineyard without committing to anything. We had a great time and ultimately did choose to try out the membership as their wines were delicious and their customer service could not have been better. On a perfect day, sitting in the patio area feels like sitting in a movie or in a painting. Definitely recommend the tour and the wine to anyone who enjoys sipping the fermented fruit juice! Heath has something for anyone at their family of vineyards!"

"Such a great time at Grape Creek Vineyards! Adam was great! super friendly, attentive, and knew the wine menu inside and out. The cheese plate was huge with so many tasty things to try, definitely more than enough for two. Loved sitting outside and soaking up the beautiful atmosphere with a glass in hand. Always happy to be members here! Highly recommend both Adam and Grape Creek!"
