What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Adelaida Cellars is celebrated for its exceptional wines, particularly its Rhône and Bordeaux varietals, and its breathtaking hilltop vineyard views. Visitors consistently praise the warm hospitality, knowledgeable staff, and the romantic, serene atmosphere, making it a top choice for wine tasting. While food isn't served, the allowance of outside picnics enhances the experience.
"The wine is fantastic, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff is fun and friendly. We started coming here in 2009 and they have remained a favorite ever since. They make delicious Rhone wines and their Bordeauxs are excellent. Their Anna's Red is a GSM that is always a favorite with fruit and floral flavors that are subtle with some leathery tannins and green hints. The syrah is similar in its flavor profile with a touch more structure. The cab Sauv is interesting as it's floral/ fruit flavors are sort of hiding behind the greens. They are all very tasty. The tasting room is so beautiful with some excellent paintings from Erin Hanson. It's very comfortable and the staff makes it even more at home."

"My fiancé and I had an incredible time! The tasting took place at a hilltop location, which was private and incredibly romantic. Chris, our server, was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. The setting was serene, offering stunning views of the hills surrounding the winery. The only sounds we could hear were the birds chirping in the trees. Having visited many wineries before, this experience topped them all. The wines were smooth, silky, and bursting with rich flavors, without any harsh bite."

"About a year ago, I heard about this winery during a trip with my best friend. Alan greeted us as walk-ins, but I knew I loved their wines from a friend’s tasting. I didn't even need to try more, I became a wine member on the spot. Alan opened up a bottle of Rose for us and let us enjoy it while he packed my "first shipment."
A year later, I came here and enjoyed a quick getaway for the weekend, enjoying our host, Alan once more. I had a great experience and he really took the time with me to just explain what I was tasting. However, this time I enjoyed hearing Alan's story of how he became an employer and his love for wine. His story was so unique and honestly, made me love Adelaida even more. I loved loved every minute of being with Alan outside before the heat came in.
I have had some truly memorable experiences with Adelaida! From my initial visit with Alan, which made such a strong impression, to my birthday visit in January and our subsequent visits to member events,( we came in April for the Twilight event!! AMAZING!) it’s clear that your wines and hospitality have made a lasting impact. It’s always wonderful to find a place that consistently exceeds expectations and makes each visit special.
I look forward to our next visit and can’t wait!"
