Can't say enough great things about Sterling! We aren't big wine fans, but wanted the experience as we passed through the area. We rushed over there to get there before they closed, and made with with about 2 minutes to spare. To reach the tasting room, you must take an aerial tram, which is super cool. The cost of the tram, the "tour", and four pours is $35 each. I was a little annoyed at the price, but we definitely got our money's worth in the experience. As soon as we got to the top, we were offered a stroller to push our kid around in (which was SO helpful), and they gave him apple juice and Cheez-Its to keep him happy so we could actually enjoy the scenery and the wine. That alone was worth it.
The tour is self-guided between pour stations. The only staff member who really spoke to us at all at a pour station was the first one. The next three stations were staffed by men who were more interested in chatting with groups of basic girls out for a day drinking adventure. Whatever. The final pour station was on the roof, and the staff member working the counter where you can order cheese plates offered to get us the pours (good thing, since the guy at the station was again chatting with groups of girls, as well as taking pictures for them).
The roof view is stunning. And the cheese plate was good. Wine was ok (again, not a wine person). Definitely a great option for families. Would visit again!
