Reviews of Dry Creek Vineyard (Winery)

Daniel Podratsky

My wife and I had such a wonderful time here. Dry Creek strikes the perfect balance of gorgeous Sonoma venue/location, fantastic wine, and just a down-to-earth easy approach to drinking wine. The ratio of wine quality to "unstuffy-ness" is extremely high here - meaning their wines are fantastic. I fell in love with Sonoma Zin here.

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

Lily Allen-Duenas

Such a beautiful wine tasting experience. Lovely outdoor garden area, complete with shaded and sunny spots. It's especially perfect for COVID times, as they have so much space and lots of varied outdoor seating. While the price per tasting …

We have been members at Dry Creek for years and come back again and again because of the friendly staff, good and reasonably priced wine and their amazing grounds. They are dog friendly and offer a relaxing picnic area where you can bring …

Wonderful staff, amazing wine and beautiful atmosphere. A must visit!

We’ve been wine club members for years here. One of the original Dry Creek wineries, still family owned and operated. Stellar Cabs, Zins, and Sauv Blanc (especially the Musque!). Beautiful outdoor grounds host the tastings these days. Service is fantastic, be sure to ask for recommendations for local dining and activities.

Good wines, nice staff & easy to access from 101.

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!

John Gainey

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

Rinaldo Dorman

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!

John Lynch

Their zinfandels are excellent. If you like zin, then you should definitely taste here. Their fumé blanc is also a great value for the price.

Awesome place! We had a great time. The server was really knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed their red wines and bought over 10 bottles and my fiancé’s mom even became a member. Their fume was really good so was their mariness. We loved …

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.

Dan Evans

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!

Shauna C. Anderson

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.

Alexandra Joy

Derren was so kind and attentive. Will be back and cant wait to enjoy the wines we got. Thanks for the awesome experience

Angie Thompson

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!

Tim Polk

Fantastic Sonoma County wine tasting experience. Great wines, excellent staff, beautiful outdoor seating. I love their wines, but on this visit really fell in love with their 17 Estate Cab Franc. VERY drinkable and it's fun to re-visit lesser known grape types. Highly recommended.

Tyler Rynberg

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!

Tinghuan L

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!!

Akylas

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!

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.

Jane Coolidge

We have belonged to many wine clubs up and down California..this is by far the best wine for quality, variety, price and customer service.

Valery Arkhangorodsky

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.

Barbara, the manager at Dry Creek Winery stole from our company by preforming a charge back for services they recieved for their wine club members. …

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

Michael McMenus

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

Ilyia Kaushansky

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

Rosemarie Vertiz

Great atmosphere. I enjoyed the wines and the experience. The salami, crakers and cheese were delicious that I had to bring some back to Texas with me to pair with my wine purchase.

Suzanne Statler

Wonderful wine. Beautiful setting. Great staff. Go and Enjoy!

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!

Shannan Muench

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!

Kristina Buchner

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!!

Hal D

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

Chris Kaufman

Great wine our receptionist/ host was Camille. She was very knowledgeable about the wine. Enjoyed the experience greatly. Would recommend the old vin zinfandel.

starr garrett

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

Carla M

Ian was incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel extremely special. An outstanding experience!

Gina B

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!

John Griffith

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

I don’t drink wine and was poured and charged for a tasting I didn’t ask for. I will not recommend to anyone

J C

This winery has great wine, great ambiance, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. My dog loves to come here too. 10/10 would recommend.

karen mangold

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.

Alexis Deg

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!

Nick Dolan

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

Michael Hall

Unbelievable experience!!!! Totally new to the tasting and wine industry and loved the wines, tasting the the cellar was epic, and the host was phenomenal!!! Will be our first stop next time in town!!!

Rajesh Panda

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.
