This review is a bit overdue, but I wanted to make sure I shared our experience because it was truly amazing. We weren't quite sure what to expect when we walked in, especially with our three kids and parents. There was a formal party going on, and we initially wondered whether our larger group might feel out of place. Those concerns disappeared immediately. Emily was our server, and she, Alyson, and the entire staff made us feel genuinely welcome.
The absolute highlight was the service. Emily did an outstanding job welcoming and taking care of our family. She was friendly, attentive, and accommodating, making us feel comfortable from the start. As the larger party left, the other servers joined in, checking on us and engaging with our family. A special shout-out to Alyson, who was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience even more enjoyable. Every member of the staff we encountered contributed to a visit we won't forget. We truly appreciated the kindness, warmth, and attentiveness of the entire team.
The tasting room itself is warm, stylish, and inviting, with a lounge-like atmosphere, comfortable seating, a long bar, and plenty of natural light. They also offer a nice selection of wine-friendly food, from charcuterie and seasonal cheeses to bruschetta, hummus, fresh fruit, nuts, and other small bites, plenty of options to complement a tasting or glass of wine.
They offer a good variety of wines and three tasting options to suit different preferences, with additional wines available outside the tasting selections. While not every wine was for us, we found several favorites and ended up purchasing a good number of bottles to take with us.
Overall, I only wish we'd had more time to return. The wine was enjoyable, but the exceptional service and genuine hospitality are what made Baron's Creek stand out for us. I highly recommend stopping here while in downtown Durango, you'll find a great selection of wine, good food pairings, and, more importantly, a team that truly knows how to make guests feel welcome. Thank you, Baron's Creek! read more
