Dry Creek Vineyard Review

Stopped by for picnic, stroll the grounds and watch the grape harvesting. Tasting room was packed but after a short wait, Ian guided us through a great tasting experience. This was our 5 day of wine tasting, Dry Creek is now our favorite winery. Best of all, the wine club first shipment is on the way!

Very friendly folks. Deep, rich reds, particularly the Zinfandels.

The Sonoma County wine next to the Napa Valley is also good! Sonoma is the meaning of "Many Moons" in Indian legend, so the production area is also called "Moon Valley".

Sonoma is the cradle of California wines. Although there is no name in Napa Valley, many of the good wines produced here are rich and cannot be bought because the wine growers feel they want Doing winemaking, not business. Compared to the Napa Valley next door, Sonoma County is twice as large as the area, as well as numerous wineries and grape varieties. In this piece of land of about 1 million square miles, a total of 190 wineries have settled here. If you have time and enthusiasm, you can spend half a year here. In Sonoma County, you can find all the grape varieties in California. Come to Sonoma and choose the grape variety: Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley and Zinfandel from the Dry Creek Valley. The World Wine Magazine only recommends drinking both in this area.

Great winery and wines! Amazing people.
The garden is really nice for sitting outside or walking around.

Poking around and found a jewel. Excellent staff, Amanda was great and knowledgeable about the wine and local information. Will be back.

Our dinner, July 20th in the vineyard was once again a spectular evening . We look forward to this summer event every year. Kim , Mike, Amanda and the winemaker were most gracious. The wine pairings were wonderful with the delious dinner. Each pairing was richly described by the winemaker. This was our 3rd year and we look forward to the wine dinner.

We sat outside and had a wonderful experience. The wine was great and Robert made everything special with his vast knowledge and engaging personality.

Had a lovely Cabernet Sauvignon for $6. Darren & the gentleman at the bar were very friendly and laid-back. No appointment needed - you can just walk in, grab a table in the garden and enjoy your glass of wine. Highly recommended!

Came here on accident thinking it was a different place, but so glad we did. The wines were really tasty. The service and recommendations were spot on. Pop in!

Had a great time at their Beatles cover band festival... Good wine, nice setting, friendly people.

Every visit is always a memorable, delightful, and moderately intoxicating experience.

Great wines! You pay 15$ for the wine tasting but get refunded if you buy a bottle

Dry Creek is a beautiful vineyard with a great history and some delicious wines. A family-owned vineyard in the Dry Creek region with a lovely picnic area, tasting room & insect garden. They take pride in not only their wine craft but also in preserving the region's ecology & resources. They have a few Sauvignon Blancs & Fume Blancs that are great for sipping on a hot summer day, but their Zins & Cabs are wonderful for pairings with food or enjoying with friends. If you are lucky enough to get Ian to host you, you will learn a great deal about the wines, the history, the region, and more! Worth stopping in for a taste or making a picnic of it!

Loved this spot! Their tasting room and grounds are gorgeous, and their wines didn't disappoint. Friendly, knowledgeable tasting host, too.

They got a beautiful tasting room, all the staffs are very knowledgeable, we stayed about more than an hour, had around 8 different wines, fantastic zinfandel, also had some interesting whites as well as petite Syrah. Nick our host was very friendly and keen to learn from each other, one of the best wineries in our trip indeed. Definitely recommend it!!

Always enjoy coming here (that's why I signed up as a member)...friendly here with a good selection of great wines. Paige took care of us this time and she was fantastic. Always worth a visit when in Healdsburg area!

Terrific wines, their DCV10 Chardonnay was phenomenal! The staff was really friendly and clearly enjoyed what they were doing. I was really happy I stopped there while on a bike ride.

Came with my family and had a wonderful experience. Learned a lot and had some great wine! Jim was a great help

Great service. Very friendly people. Their wines are great too. On the bolder side but not too bold.Their zinfandels are great. The tasting room is in a nice location. Not too far away from 101. They have a great picnic spot too.

We spent time here on Monday afternoon and it was our favorite of the day. Kevin was pouring our wine for the tasting and he was amazing! We felt like we were spending time with our family tasting wine and sharing stories. Every wine that was poured was delicious and full of depth. We really recommend taking time to go taste here and get a few bottles to take home! The people, wine, and ambiance are a perfect story. We walked out with a bottle of the Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Verdot and the Endeavour (get it!). We will definitely go back and you should go too! Thank you Dry Creek and Kevin!

Excellent wines. Nick and Robert made it a fun experience. Loved it!

The Healdsburg Jazz Festival was hosted here when I visited. I grabbed a bottle of the Old Vine Zin for $30. A good value! Smooth and good flavor. I did not taste any of the other wines - but enjoyed grounds watching and listening to the Jazz players. Dry Creek Vineyard is nestled in the valley amongst small hills. Picturesque.

Dry Creek is a popular winery, you can find their wines in the supermarket. A visit, however is worth it. We tasted a very nice Sauvignon Blanc, and ended up purchasing an interesting Verdot, a grape you don t see that often. Try some!

One of our favorite wineries. Grab a sandwich at the Grocery and enjoy a wonderful bottle of wine on the grounds.

Had our tasting outside with Robert such a great place that we visit often as a member you have the opportunity to really experience the hospitality of The Alexander Valley

The grounds here are some of the best. The nautical themed wine tasting room was fun. We loved the insect garden. Their were lots of butterflies and bees.

Generous tastings very nice picnic setting good wines

Beautiful grounds and vineyards. A picnic in the secret garden is now on my bucket list! The tasting room is very elegant with a nautical theme. Bob Antoniuc is one of the most knowledgeable wine pourers I have ever spoken too and knows an incredible amount of the history of the winery as well as what makes each wine special. And of course the wines are exquisite! I love how the labels are so transparent, giving you the details of how each bottle was lovingly created. You must leave with a bottle of the Endeavor! Can't wait to return.

Great wine and a very good picnic grounds with shade. Good winery to visit with kids.

Really awesome wines, and Bob was an awesome tasting guide. All of their Zinfandels are amazing

Went on a Cousins trip to the wine country. This was one of the outstanding vineyards that we visited. A "must" on a CA wine country tour!

Love the wine and somewhat out of the way location.....staff was very helpful and courteous.

Visiting from Germany. Beautiful Location and delicious wines, especially the reds. Bob presented the wines very well and it was so much fun listening to all the little stories he told us about the wines and the winery itself. Great Experience, will definitely come back!!

Darren took great care of us. Great zins, cabernet and petite syrah. Beautiful grounds.

Darren was a wonderful server. The place is beautiful and the wine tastes great!

Beautiful location and knowledgeable staff. The tasting allows you to choose 5 wines and threw two freebies which was nice. If you purchase or two the tasting is free. You can enjoy the tasting outside on their covered patio or inside with the AC. I would have loved the tasting outside but we had a baby with us and wanted to make he was comfortable in the heat. If you are in the area this is a great winery to check out!

I love wine tasting and do it often. I think wine is beautiful and appreciate the experience of tasting another persons' craft. At Dry Creek, not only are they so proud of what they do, they treat you like family no matter if you are a member or not. I had multiple AMAZING experiences here (between the wine, the staff, picnicking on the grounds etc) that I became a member and in 3+ years have never regretted it and expect to continue to be a member. Highly recommend a visit!

DCV remains one of the unspoiled gems of the valley. Despite being the legit OG vineyard of the Dry Creek Valley, they continue to evolve and create amazing bottles of wine at reasonable prices. I hope the Napa syndrome of overpriced wine despite decreasing quality never infects this hidden oasis of great, reasonable viniculture
