Windmill Creek Vineyard & Winery

We had an amazing visit! We did the guided wine tasting, which we definitely recommend for only a few dollars more than a flight. The cheese board was delicious and filling, and the wine was very nice. Reid was our server/tasting leader and he was awesome and made sure we had a great experience. We totally recommend making the trip here!

We had a reservation for two and were initially seated at a beautiful table with a great view. Moments after we got comfortable, we were approached and told we needed to move — by Carol, the hostess. No explanation, no courtesy, just a cold “you have to move because we were at a table of (4).” We were then relocated to a far less desirable table with no view and a noticeably less inviting atmosphere.

The kicker? The original table we were told to vacate remained empty for the entire time we were there. Not once was it sat. If that table had a reservation, they never showed — or management just made up an excuse. Either way, it was completely unnecessary and showed a serious lack of professionalism and care for the customer experience.

Carol’s dismissive attitude only made it worse. Her tone was condescending, and when questioned, she claimed it was “okay” if the table was reserved — but never gave us a clear reason why we were being displaced when the table remained empty except that it was a (4) person table. If it was a (4) person table then why would they have seated us there? There was a couple that was seated in that same setting with a table of 4 and they were a party of 2.

This winery may have good wine and food, we decided not to even give it a try with the food, but their service is absolutely unacceptable. We left feeling disrespected and unwelcome. There are too many great wineries in the area to waste time at one that clearly doesn’t value its guests. We won’t be returning, and we’ll be warning others.

My sister and I really enjoyed our visit. Natasha made our experience extra special. She made us feel right at home. She explained each drink in our tasting and made the entire experience fun while also teaching us a few things we didn't know about wine. The food was also amazing, and the property itself was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely return when we visit the area again.
