Long Creek Winery & Ranch

For five dollars you can taste 8 wines and one port, how can you bet that!?! They also have organic meats from the cattle raised on the grounds, local olive oil to try/​but, and almonds you can enjoy while tasting. The grounds are very pretty and you are encouraged to walk them while tasting. A pond, creek, and vineyards to check out as well as tables if you would like to bring a picnic. Not a big place but beautiful and the people are always very nice!

I enjoyed the wine so much I joined the club. The estate is beautiful with a cute tasting room and lovely pond and waking path. It is also dog-​friendly.
I have to say the 1-​star review here is uncalled for. My tasting fee was waived with a purchase of one bottle of wine. Though I would have been happy to pay it. It is only $ 5, and this a small, local business. The tasting included at least 7 wines.
Toby, one of the owners, poured for us. He was very welcoming and knowledgable about the area. I loved the small, local feel. They also sold local almonds, eggs and beef.

Initially this place was okay, we were coming from Gray Fox winery (great place!) and someone mentioned Long Creek at a restaurant we went to near by. When we went an employee said the tasting was $ 5 for 7 wines and the glass. I asked if we bought a bottle the $ 5 would be waived. She said yes. After tasting I wanted to purchase a port. Which other than the port the wines really weren’t that great. Most of my family poured their tastings out because the wine was so bad.
I asked a guy, probably the same guy Brittany N. mentioned in her review which may even be one of the owners which makes his attitude even more disappointing, I asked if I could get the $ 18 bottle with the $ 5 waived. He bluntly said no. I said, really? I’ll get the bottle if the $ 5 is waived, it’s $ 18 for $ 5 and most wineries do that. He, again, bluntly said, no they don’t. I know for a fact most wineries do and told him such. He ignored me and I said I’ll just pay the $ 5. On top of that I’m pretty sure he was drunk because he was acting tipsy and his face was super red. Unprofessional all around.
Now I know not all wineries waive the tasting fee (again, I said most not all) but it’s extremely bad business to tell your customers one thing and then be rude to them and argue with them when they bring it up later. Extremely bad customer service and business sense. I and my family will never be returning to this place again.
Update: I e-​mailed them about a week ago on this and have yet to get a reply. Again, bad customer service, they obviously don’t care about their customers or how they treat them. Don’t waste your time going to this place.

Welcoming environment, knowledgeable staff and relaxed environment.
