What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Tablas Creek Vineyard for its exceptional wines, passionate staff, and commitment to regenerative farming. The unique vineyard practices and Rhône-style blends are frequently highlighted as standout features. Some guests noted a desire for more non-alcoholic beverage options beyond water.
"Joined this winery in 2022 ::: shhh, my first winery membership anywhere ever at age 62 ::: and it’s been incredible. I’ve literally tasted around the world and TCV stole my heart. It only continues to get better. The wine. The people. The atmosphere. The attitude. The goals. I regrettably can only get in a visit to the vineyard tasting room about twice a year (I reside in CO) but this place just keeps me coming back for more."

"Love the owners they were super passionate about their wine and the business! Very knowledgeable about wine. Tried my first red wine here."

"What could be better than great wines, great environment and great company‽ Our server had answers to our every question and was knowledgeable about every grape variety on property! Though, I do wish reputable wineries like this would add atleast one NA item that isnt water to their offerings, the DD of our group had a decidedly worse time having nothing to drink but water. I think adding some NA options would make this winery even better than it ready is"
