Spectacular Pinots. Enjoyed a private tasting for four (arranged in advance). Annette was our sommelier and spiritual guide. Beautiful space and exceedingly pleasant experience.

We had a wonderful experience at Etude Wines. We are a couple visiting from Japan, and we truly appreciated the warm hospitality from Sean. He was both very kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Sean took great care of us during the tasting. He was very knowledgeable and explained the differences between the wines clearly and thoughtfully, which made the experience even more enjoyable and interesting for us. He also kindly recommended several excellent restaurants for our stay in the area, which we greatly appreciated. The Cabernet was especially excellent, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Etude Wines. Thank you again to Sean and Annette for making our visit so memorable. We highly recommend Etude Wines to anyone visiting the region!
When you first arrive at Etude Winery, you're greeted by the breathtaking beauty of the vineyard. The wines they offer are truly exceptional and are a testament to the winery's dedication to quality. However, the wine tasting experience itself leaves much to be desired. The tastings are conducted in a small barn that also doubles as their gift shop. Unfortunately, this space lacks any special decor or a view to complement the wines being tasted. It's a very simple setup that doesn't do justice to the stunning outdoor surroundings of the winery. Although the quality of the wine justifies some of the price, it's hard to ignore the disconnect between the exceptional wines and the underwhelming tasting experience. In order to truly reflect the overall experience, the pricing should be adjusted to better align with the quality of the setting and service.
Absolutely gorgeous winery with even better wines! Our host, Michael, was so knowledgeable, personable, and downright friendly. It was the perfect mix of information and relaxation. Ten out of ten recommend. And if you get Michael as your host count yourself as extra blessed.
My husband and I went during the holiday season so the tasting room was a bit cluttered with boxes of wine for sale. The atmosphere however was relaxed and the staff were super friendly and very knowledgeable. Our wine tasting was a great experience.
