“We arrived in Mill Creek on our 45’ sailing catamaran (SV Moxie) because we wanted to experience the tasting room at Jayce Vineyards. I reached out to the vineyard via their website. Tommy replied and told what dock to use to get to the winery. He even met us at the dock and gave us a ride in the golf cart to the tasting room. Lucky us, they had a live band and open mic night. We met the owner, Dr Bob Jayce, and all the staff. All of which were very friendly and accommodating.

The wines are grown on the estate so they have the benefit of the terroir. We tasted three whites and three reds. Our fav was the Albariño, especially on this hot afternoon.

We also had the Margherita pizza which was on thin crisp crust. Perfect for a light snack while enjoying the atmosphere. We bought a couple bottles to enjoy later. When we were leaving, Bob drove us back to the dinghy dock.

In short, THIS IS A GEM NOT TO BE MISSED. Everyone there made us feel right at home. We will definitely be passing this spot onto all our sailing friends.“
