Really great winery, excellent wine! We really enjoyed the New Year’s Eve party 2023! Nice place, fire place outside, great prices. Really nice owner with a great sense of humor!

Cool venue. Short staffed. Had a good flatbread pizza and good local beer. Musician was underappreciated. Wine was a generous ok.

Not very friendly, offered no info on their wine! Very out dated! Probably not return visit!

For our 30th wedding anniversary, we started with the Great River Road Wine Trail, with Chateau St. Croix being the last stop of our 2-day winery touring. This should have been our first stop so we could have stayed for hours! It is a beautiful winery with the BEST wines of our journey. We arrived late in the day and only had time for a quick sampling, so we bought 2 bottles to take home and a glass to take outside onto the gorgeous grounds. We ended up talking with the wine maker/owner Irv and his right-hand vineyard expert Vic for over an hour. After closing, Irv brought out his 'Scarlet' wine "from the rafters," which meant it wasn't ready a year ago so was stored away, but--Oh, my--now it was ready - absolutely divine! We also sampled Marco V Red and Itasca, amongst others. To top off the evening, we got to meet owner Anna (very sweet lady!), who was busy mowing while her husband was giving us an excellent education on the notes and pairings. Needless to say, we loved so many of their wines, we couldn't decide on just a couple, so we ended up going home with 2 cases!

What a great place, we ended up there on a whim, on top of being a lovely setting, the wine was incredible! We stood at the bar and Joan led us through our tasting, very knowledgeable and fun to talk to! Was previously not a fan of blends but on her recommendation I tried the Marco V and absolutely loved it! We plan on buying a case next time we come in. We ended our visit with the chicken flat bread which was for sure a 10/10. Thanks for the great experience.

Every one of their selections are excellent. There's not one of their wines that I did not enjoy. I highly recommend stopping by and sampling their many interesting wines.

We came here very early, almost as they opened. I thought it might have views of the river. It does not, but it has views of vast fields and the vineyard. We didn't stay indoors because it was a gorgeous summer day but theybhave a nice dining room inside befitting the "chateau" name. Outdoors, they have a patio up front and a covered dining area in the back, where we chose to plant ourselves.
I got the wine tasting sampler where they give you 5 tokens that you can use to sample _any_ wine on the list! I like that because I really wanted a slushie but I wanted to sample the wines that I might try to bring home. The lady at the counter was super nice and I tried 2 white wines, a dessert red, a rose and the slushie! We also had flatbreads and the meat and cheese board. If we had come later, the live music would've made it perfect. I really like that they serve light food here because that's part and parcel of a good winery experience...

We had some confusion with a gift card and they would not give up until it was cleared. You don’t see service like that much anymore. The wine is great, the food is delicious, the view is gorgeous, and the people are awesome.

Had a great time for a few hours at Chateau St Croix Winery on a Monday. The staff was wonderful and explained everything to us about the wines and ports. Great recommendations.
They do serve food and they have plenty of light options available. Including cheese platters.
They have Happy Hour on Fridays!
Outside there is cute Al fresco dining at the entrance patio and covered area in the back.
Location is spot on with Google maps, but very few signs prior. Parking is free and plentiful Highly recommend a stop and a tasting!

My wife and I were almost expecting a tourist trap when we saw the southern European hunting lodge style of this estate. However, that is not the case.
The owner just had a taste for the style. Which I must admit to enjoying myself as well.
The wine was phenomenal! Truly and utterly phenomenal. We each had a flight (5), so I got to sample 10 of their wines. *Cue happy little jig* Of these, there was only one I didn't like. But that was only because the others I tried put it to such shame. Honestly, by itself, I would have enjoyed it. It was the comparison that hurt it.
But I can heartily recommend their entire selection! Subject to your own preference and taste, of course.
We were blessed enough to be the only people there, and Jan gave us all her time and attention. She often regaled us with fascinating tidbits of the wine making world and the varying processes. We were quite happy to sip on our wines and soak it all up.
Why are you still reading? Get in your car and go. Go!
This is a beautiful estate, and hey, they serve wine! It's got an old-school castle ? vibe. They give you tokens for tastings so you can take your time and grab your next drink at your leisure.
We hopped around and sat in all the different areas each time we started a new tasting. Overall, it was a very good experience and we will visit anytime we are in the area.

The Renaissance Feast event was great - talk about a perfect venue. We will be keeping an eye out for more events here in the future!

Amazing winery!
