Castillo's Hillside Shire Winery

Me and my girlfriend stopped by today on the way to the Airport and had an amazing time. Had some great Wine and great hospitality. Our Wine Hostess sang and played her guitar for us. Thank you so much!

Love the place. Very French countryside style deco. Wine is good hosts are considerate and nice. A 5/5!

I called this winery because I was going to be in this area and needed information. I checked their website and they offer no information on their wines or their wine tasting. So, I contacted by their preferred method of communication, text and by FB msgr. One person ended up texting, "what do you need to know" This is a not so friendly establishment. This is not what one gets by visiting their website. It's the most beautiful grounds. These people should NOT be in business. Someone in the wine industry should feature them and their poor customer service they provide to people who love wine. I'm thankful I never visited this winery. If they lack courtesy by phone, I can imagine how it would be in person. One of the questions I asked was which wines do they feature. Person texted, "red wines, some are blends" when I followed up question, they ignored me. If you're thinking of visiting this beautiful looking tasting room, think again. STAY AWAY FROM THIS WINERY.

Beautiful winery, but terrible wine! Take pictures of the winery and leave to nearby better quality wineries.

Our recent visit was unfortunately marred by an unwelcoming and confrontational atmosphere, largely due to the owner's demeanor towards families with young children. Despite the property's beauty, our experience was soured by the owner's insistence on enforcing a strict rule that children must be either on hand or on our laps at all times.

Despite our efforts to ensure our children, aged 2 and 3, remained well-behaved and nearby, we were abruptly asked to leave. The owner's approach to enforcing this rule was not only disrespectful but also left us feeling unwelcome and unfairly treated.

Furthermore, the manner in which the owner demanded we pay the tasting fee, emphasizing that we were guests in "her house," was needlessly confrontational and off-putting.

Given our experience, we strongly recommend the owner consider revising its policy to simply state that children are not permitted on the property. This approach would spare other guests the discomfort of being yelled at in the moment, which we found to be mean and rude.

Very friendly staff, beautiful grounds and quiet on a Saturday afternoon surprisingly. Wine was pleasant. Definitely will go back

Love this family and the wine.

Beautiful property. “Wine” is awful… I have never tasted anything so distant to wine as they serve there - thankfully the tasting is only 10 bucks.A group on the patio brought their boom box (I suppose) and was playing very loud music, I thought I’m on a country music festival.A lot of people mention the questionable service; well I’d partly agree that I didn’t feel very welcome, but on the other hand I’m glad no one was trying to sell me that liquid and membership, so I could just pay and be gone for good.

As you sip on your glass of wine, And take in the vineyard's stunning design, You'll be serenaded by sweet melodies, Live music that brings your heart to its knees.The sounds of guitar, piano, and voice, Echoing through the vineyard with poise, A symphony of notes that dances in the breeze, A perfect pairing with the wine's luscious tease.So come and enjoy the full experience, Of wine, music, and nature's brilliance, Castillo's Hillside Shire Winery is the place to be, Where all your senses will be set free.

Nice place for a picnic

Nice winery and dog friendly.

The place is beautiful, full of green areas to enjoy a great glass of wine. Wonderful family service and great wine.

Always a great experience at the Shire! Roni Jo and Jesse make every experience special. Vivian keeps your tasting glass full and entertains you with her beautiful voice. Never a dull moment here! A little piece of heaven on earth. Pick up your wine today and leave wanting more. I certainly do!Sep 24 2022: Still a beautiful experience! Love spending time at the Shire! Tasting room open on Saturdays til 6pm and Sundays til 5pm.

Wine is so bad, bad service… This stars are for the beautiful spot. That’s it!

Couldn’t recommend more. Great property, great owners and great wine.
