Alapay Cellars Tasting Room is a must-visit destination, offering an exceptional wine tasting experience in a lovely atmosphere. The winery features eclectic decor and a beautiful fish tank that adds charm to the setting. The owner, Scott, provides exceptional service, taking the time to explain each wine pour and making guests feel welcome. Visitors can enjoy a charcuterie board to accompany their tasting, and the open, airy space makes it a perfect stop for wine lovers. The wine selection includes standouts like the Cabernet Sauvignon (Rebecca), Alapay Grand Cuvee bubbles, 2021 Chardonnay, and 2021 Bourbon Barrel Rebekah.
Recent visitors have praised the staff for their friendliness and knowledge. One guest mentioned that the server made their visit a pleasant experience by giving detailed descriptions of the wines, ensuring glasses were never empty, and offering extra samples when they learned about a special occasion. Others have noted that different servers over the years have all been great, with one mentioning Jennifer's informative knowledge of the wines and good timing between pours. Live music adds to the relaxing atmosphere, making the experience even more enjoyable.
The cost for wine tasting is 25 USD for 7 samples, with some extra samples offered from opened bottles, such as the pinot blanco. Basic info is provided about each sample, though the wines are described as interesting but not very surprising. Gratuity can only be paid in cash, which some visitors find inconvenient. Overall, Alapay Cellars remains a favorite spot for many, especially for its great wines like the Rebekah Cab that guests highly enjoy.
