Went in for winetasting with a friend and dealt with Phil, One of the owners. Got to meet their dog which I think was a lab… very cute and friendly. There were no bad wines that we tasted and there were two really standout wines(we were mostly focused on reds). The one I liked best was ENERTIA, a red blend. They only charge $ 5 per person for a tasting. Because their best wines were a little more expensive, I decided to join their wine club which only requires the purchase of two bottles per quarter whereas many require a monthly purchase. This entitles you to free tastings and a 20% discount. You can cancel anytime without any penalties. I think I’ve tried all the downtown winetasting spots and I feel this one was the best overall!

Local bubbly… LOVE! Also, you can find some great wine gifts for your fellow wine lover friends here. I didn’t give 5 stars just because I only try the bubbles when I’m here so I can give a 100% thorough review on the other wines. I’m sure they’re great too!

We had a lovely time here and very much enjoyed every pour. Anne, the proprietor, was lovely and engaging. We have done several tastings in Grass Valley in the past and enjoyed the wines here the most by far. If you only have time for one place, make this it.

Two words: Almond Champagne. A few more words: The best champagne I’ve ever tasted in my entire life. Seriously. I’ve even had Crystal. Maybe I’m just a nut that really likes almonds(ha ha. get it?), but this was delicious. Cool and crisp, not syrupy like the stuff I usually get at Trader Joe’s. It’s actually made by Woodbridge(Robert Mondavi, anyone?), but they have it here along with their other delicious wines. Nice tasting room. Nice dude named Jim doing the pours. Great experience and wine club prices!

Really small tasting pours compared to the other wineries in the area. Really hard to taste the flavors of the wine. The woman working seemed clueless. Would not recommend.

My husband and I are wine club members here and absolutely love it! We always love going in the tasting room and looking around at all they have to offer. They have the cutest little wine things and collectibles — tee shirts, bottle stoppers, signs, glasses, etc. I love the exposed brick wall — it’s very casual and down to earth in there, and I love it. I love the owner, Anne — she is so sweet and very informative when you are sipping wines. We ordered a case of champagne from Sierra Starr for our wedding and we were not disappointed in the least… we LOVE their wines! Try the Almond Sparkling and the Peach… it’s to die for!

A great tasting room with great staff. We went a couple days before Thanksgiving so I think it was slower than usual and we were pretty much the only group there and we didn’t feel rushed at all. We all paid for a tasting($ 5/each) which provided us with 5 tastings of any of their wines. Port tasting was extra. I wasn’t particularly wowed by any of their wines, but we enjoyed the ambiance and hung around and purchased another glass of wine. We also ended up buying a bottle of their champagne for Thanksgiving. FYI, you don’t have to pay for a tasting fee if you buy a bottle of wine… which was a great deal for us since we paid as a couple(which would equal $ 10), and the bottle of champagne was $ 16ish.

Sierra Starr makes the finest wine in Nevada County. Their selection is outstanding across the board, including the port, which is delicious! As a bonus, the Starr family dog, Chewy, is usually on hand for some lovin. Stop by for the complimentary tasting.

Complimentary tasting. We came on Saturday and the whole family that runs the winery was there. They were very nice and we able to really explain their wines. The champagne was very good, a little dry but lots of flavor and pretty inexpensive. Didn’t care too much for their whites– a little too ‘astringent’. But all in all good wines for decent prices.

Hubby really enjoyed their 2004 cab franc. Tasting was free. Staff was very friendly.

Surprisingly, this winery has a champagne on the tasting list(which is the cheapest on the list!) I thought the champagne was very refreshing, but almost a little too dry for me. I skipped tasting any of the red wines, so I can’t review any of them. I wasn’t super impressed with any of the whites, but none of them were bad either. Tasting is complimentary.

My friends and I visited this winery’s tasting room today and we greeted by friendly and attentive staff members. Each recommended their favorite Zinfandels, and we were sold on the«Old Clone Zinfandel«Mmm…an affordable $ 16 price point. There was another zin available to try, but it was not as tasty to us. It was called the«Phil’s blend». Named after Phil – the head guy who grows the grapes and makes the wine. Oops. I didn’t mean to knock your personal«blend». Oh well. Sierra Starr Vineyard and Winery is a small family run operation. They have a Sirius Sipper Wine Club. Siriusly! ha… The tasting room was a nice stop on the«Foothills Celebration» food and wine festival we attended today.
