Villa Creek Cellars

Had a great time doing a tasting at Villa Creek. Wines were great and our server was very friendly.

My wife and I did the Higher Place tasting experience and it was worth every penny. Very laid back. Very cool. I’m sure the giant operations are fun to see, but hopping in a family member’s pickup and riding up to the top of the vineyard to hear about the family history and the business journey while also learning about the grapes and tasting some really excellent wine was exactly the experience we were hoping for. We were there a full 2 hours, maybe longer, just hanging out and seeing the place. We chatted with the wine maker. We chatted with Cris the founder. Camille shows us all around their operation. This was really a cool experience. Bravo to the family for making it chill and cool and informative. We really felt like family guests.

Villa Creek is hands down the best winery on the Central Coast that is open to the public. I have been a fan of thier Avenger for years, and is the best Rhone blend you will find in my humble opinion.This is a small winery that isn't an over the top winery. This winery is all about the wines, not about having a winery that is all about the views.

Small, quiet, relaxing winery; a true hidden gem. The views surrounding the property are amazing and the wines are just as great. Lindsay was our sommelier and she didn’t disappoint. She’s a very wine knowledgeable and friendly professional. She deserves a raise!

Quick SummaryDecent wine, views and property. It's a smaller place. My major knock was the pacing (it felt like we were rushed throughout the whole tasting)Views- 4 starsDecent views of their vineyards. It's a smaller winery so it doesn't have the large picturesque vineyardsProperty- 4 starsContemporary and clean. They do have an iberico ham hanging around that is covered with duck fat. Didn't get a chance to try it but sounded and looked amazingTasting- 4 starsThe wine was decent. Really liked their label with their last wine, but everything else was just ok. My main complaint was the pacing. We were basically on the last wine in 20 minutes. The winemaker was cool and interacted with all the guests. I get that they're trying to sell bottles and memberships, but it appeared like they didn't have any other appointments so wasn't sure why the tasting was rushedBottom LineDecent winery experience. Probably a one-time thing. Wasn't very fond of the pacing

Cris and Joann are true masters of their craft. A must stop and this is a must on your tasting tour. Looking forward to opening my bottle of Avenger on my birthday!! Thanks so much for your hospitality guys!!!

Delicious wines and fun host

We visited four wineries recently and this was by far the worst experience. The manager I guess or older lady that greeted us was rude from the start. We were starving and would had sandwiches to eat. They do say no food but originally it was because they didn't want people past the hour allotted. I assured them that we would have no problem eating a sandwich and tasting 6 wines within an hour. The story then changed too they didn't want it to compromise the wines. They didn't seem to have the same problem with the party of nine which I believe violates California guidelines eating burritos and Cheetos. Maybe I didn't realize that Granache and Cheetos were an excellent combination. The only positives were they do have nice friendly dogs on the property and two of the wines were good, too bad the employees are not as friendly. It was the only place we didn't purchase any wine or join the club but fortunately other experiences at Calcareous and HammerSky were great. Jada has great wines too but the tasting area isn’t as nice.

Incredible Wines, great selection and service. By far, the best of Paso Robles
