How often do you find yourself ordering the same glass or bottle of wine at a restaurant or winery? It’s understandable—it’s familiar, and you know what you like. But what if there’s more out there waiting to be discovered?
Wine tastings are not just a fun outing—they’re an opportunity to explore new flavors, expand your palate, and refine your preferences. At Willow Creek Winery, we believe in making every wine experience educational and memorable. That’s why we offer two unique wine tasting options designed to suit your style.
1. Educational Wine Tasting
This private, tableside experience is perfect for those who want a deeper dive into the world of wine. Enjoy one-on-one time with a knowledgeable wine educator who will guide you through a tasting pour of four Willow Creek wines, selected based on your preferences. You might even be surprised with a wine to expand your palate!
During the tasting, you’ll learn our signature 3-Sip System, a technique to fully appreciate the flavors of each wine.
Reservations are required for this exclusive experience.
2. Self-Guided Tasting
Prefer a more casual experience? Our self-guided tastings let you design your own adventure. Choose from thoughtfully curated tasting flights or create your own with three Willow Creek wines. Your wines will be served in a flight at your table, allowing you to savor them at your own pace.
Self-guided tastings are available with a standard reservation in our Tasting Room or from the outdoor Vineyard Bar during open hours.
