I'm not very versed in wine-tasting experiences, but this one was a winner. Lovely woman handled the drinks for me and my buddy, and we tasted six (I think) wines overlooking the beautiful grapevines on a gorgeous Saturday morning, The little snacks that came with the wines were nice, as well, and I enjoyed everything I drank. read more

CAST Wines - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Geyserville, California

This used to be an all time favorite because of the outside wine tasting on the Adirondack chairs overlooking the beautiful vineyards below. Well, that changed. We took our friends here for a very special birthday and anniversary celebration. They have never been to Healdsburg before, and we wanted to give them a beautiful experience. We made advance reservations at $40.00 per person as that was our only option for wine tasting for 6 people. When we arrived we were told to go around the tasting area and down a long flight of stairs to the industrial looking area. We were instructed we could only sit at the picnic table below, as the beautiful scenic setting above is now reserved for their wine members only. Really? I'm paying $240.00 to sit in the sup par location when there in not one other person at the winery other than the employees. The wine was ok, the paring looked and tasted like dog kibble on a cutting board. There was No Pairing information or background for each wine. You were to read the sheet of paper for the description of each tasting. The employees were aloof, and not a typical friendly wine tasting experience that is the "norm" in Healdsburg. We were disenchanted, and left feeling we were taken advantage of. Fortunately our hotel (Les Mars) made complimentary tasting reservations at Chalk Hill Estate Winery. What a beautiful location with an exceptional staff, and a remarkable experience. It made up for the Cast Winery experience, and put us back in the cheerful frame of mind we started our day with. read more

My husband, son and I were visiting from Texas and we had a relaxing and tasty visit. One of the few wineries with consistently good wines. A new fav for sure! Thanks to Kimmy, Deborah and Aubrey and Ashley for the great visit and wine! read more

This place is amazing!! I have been up and down Dry Creek Road so many times and was itching for a new winery - and someone suggested Cast. We got there and it was quite busy, and we LOVED it. The owners/ staff were all so friendly, the wines are fantastic....and the location perfect. This is a beautiful place to come sit outside and enjoy the view, wine and a picnic. We stayed here the longest of any wineries just soaking up the view, trying wines and chatting with all of the friendly employees. Do not skip this place, I'm making this a regular stop! read more

Breathtaking views, this concept is different. The tasting room is a picnic area outside facing the vineyards. The employees come out and offer the tasting $15 for 4-5. The person we had was a French student and doing an internship, he was very informative. We also got a free cheese plate. Only downside, they don't waive the fee if you buy a bottle. They waive only when you buy 3 bottles. read more

The folks at Ferrari-Carano encouraged us to stop by this little gem, and I'm so glad they did! Our server was that perfect balance of friendly and unobtrusive. She encouraged us to sit on the patio for our tasting, brought us water and a delicious cheese board to nibble on. All the wines were spectacular, and the view was breathtaking. This is the perfect spot to just sit a spell and revel in a perfect wine country experience. I hope it's just as perfect next year! I'm giving this winery a 4 only because the price points are higher than I prefer, but again, the experience and the wines themselves are stellar. read more

I had an awesome time here with my mom. I didn't get the name of the blonde lady who helped us but she was really nice. She was also informative, attentive, and gave us glass of water. I pretty much loved all the wines I tried. I really loved the sparkling, Sauvignon blanc, regular zin, and old zin was decent. The petite sirah was too bold and tannic for me. Nice property to relax and drink. Wines aren't too expensive either. read more

Love their wines. Have been a club member for a while now and have never been disappointed. Had a problem with my latest shipment where the service that was supposed to deliver the shipment lost my package and the folks at CAST helped me resolve it! They were fantastic and have made me a member for life. read more

Absolutely love this winery. They were fantastic. I literally enjoyed every wine I tried. I joined their wine club and can't wait to get my first shipment next year! read more

We're local, and this is one of our favorite stops. A little off the beaten path, the old vine sin is one of life's reliable pleasures. The view from the patio across Dry Creek Valley is gorgeous, and the people are delightful. read more

Tonight was an exquisite and very special evening for 11 clients who were made to feel like kings and queens. The vineyard manager gave us a private tour, private tastings and dinner in their cave. Was truly over the top. A first class experience, cannot wait to try it again for other special occasions. The food is exceptional as for the fig-brie tart and the short ribs both amazing!! read more

My girlfriend and I have been wine club members at Cast for a couple years now and we've loved everything about it since the first time we went. It has a very nice outdoor area overlooking the vineyards, great wines and amazing staff. The service is top notch and we always feel like we're coming to visit friends we've known forever when we stop in. I'd recommend Cast Wines to anyone taking a trip out to the Healdsburg area! read more

Amazing! The grounds are spectacular! The team running the place are wonderful professionals. The wine is high quality. Our favorites were the Old world Zin and the Chardonnay. Not only are the wines excellent, and the views epic, they have a stunning private room available. We brought our entire office staff including significant others and this room easily held 30 people with room for more. The private room features elegant design with dark woods, wine bottles covering the walls, and plush green couches. For a rainy day this place pulled out all the stops! We loved it! Reserve the big room for your next upscale gathering, you'll be the envy of your group for finding this new hidden jewel. read more

What we loved-- The view, and the Sauvignon Blanc! Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side. I would like to go back when it is a little nicer out. Obviously, they can't help that- but the tiny indoor tasting room made it a little difficult and not as comfortable. Highly recommend going when the weather is on your side! The incredible view is worth it! read more

This is a hidden gem on Dry Creek Road with fantastic customer service! My friends and I were in search of sparkling wines in the area and did a quick google search to find this tasting room. Although we were a larger party of 6 (without a reservation), a woman kindly greeted us and sat us on the beautiful patio out back. Although they did not have a flight of all sparkling wines, our host did not hesitate to open up 3 different bottles of sparkling and customize our flight. We tasted all three bubbles available; Blanc de Noirs, Blanc de Blancs, and a Brut Rose! All three were delicious and at the perfect temperature for serving. We purchased a bottle of bubbles to enjoy there and took another bottle to go. The views & wines were amazing but the BEST part of it all was the customer service. There's great wine just about anywhere you go in the area, but genuine kindness is hard to come by (especially when it comes to traveling with larger groups). I will forever recommend others to visit this property. read more

Honestly rude employees. I'm here for barrel tasting and wanted to do the extra experience for $10 and was told that I couldn't do it because I had to pay at a different location but there were no signs or people informing me of this. The employee was extremely rude and disrespectful when I asked where I could purchase the experience. read more

It doesn't get any better than this! The team here makes you feel welcomed as soon as you walk through the door! No pressure, very laid back! The wines are really lovely and unique! Their merchandise is so amazing, they have stuff you def can't find on Amazon and high quality! I got the best Rose All Day sweater and some other unique items for Mother's Day! Love this place!!!!!!! read more

Stopped by today with my Mom and we were floored by the beautiful views, beautiful wines (the Petite Sirah is beyond amazing!) and helpful, friendly staff. I even particularly loved the soundtrack they had playing outside. (I asked and was told it was The Smith's Pandora station...a delight for an old Goth like me.) Amanda was amazing, as was a young man who helped us (we regretfully did not get his name). Both were knowledgeable and refreshingly easy-going. We had a wonderful time and will tell everyone we know! Thanks Cast! read more

Stellar view, wonderful (friendly and knowledgeable) staff, delish little nibbles to accompany the wines (almonds, olives, dried fruits, and cheeses), AND they were open and accommodating to my dog. Broad line up of wines from sparkling, to sauv blanc, to pinot, to petite sirah and cab. The place to be on a beautiful sunny day in Dry Creek Valley. read more

Very beautiful view of the valley! Definitely recommend just for that alone. The staff was kind and the wine was great! read more

My wife and I were visiting wine country for the first time and came upon Cast by chance. Passing dozens of wineries that all look the same, we took a chance on this little winery that looked fairly new (not necessarily a desirable trait in wine country). It was a Sunday and almost all the wineries were closing. The last winery we left was actually moving the patio furniture around us....subtle hint that they wanted us to leave. We stopped inside and were warmly greeted by Abby who told us to grab a seat outside and they would bring the tasting to us. What an epiphany! Enjoy the view while the wines are brought to you....genius. And what a view, overlooking the hillside vineyards of Dry Creek, Bella Winery's in particular I believe. The first was a Blanc de Noir Sparkling that set the mood and was a refreshing change of pace with all the Zins and Merlots we had been tasting in the same area. The Sauv Blanc didn't disappoint and was very unique compared to others we had tried in California. My wife is a New Zealand fan and it's hard to find a Cali SB she enjoys. The Petite Syrah and Zinfandel were heavenly and what's more, the tasting room staff were friendly and genuinely interested in us. A lot of wineries can make you feel intimidated or like they are doing you a favor by pouring you their wine. Not at Cast. One of the owners happened to be in and joined us as well. Talk about a special experience. Before we left we joined the newly founded wine club and can not wait to get our hands on more of Cast's amazing juice! Cast truly shines in a world of bland, over-populated wineries. read more

I just tried this place today for the first time and really enjoyed my tasting there. The staff was super nice and the views were to die for! Very comfortable inside but out side that view!!!! The wine were good, I really enjoyed a lovely sparkling wine, perfect for the weather and have some cool quotes on it. I am thrilled that this winery is in the dry creek valley!! read more

This Winery is an amazing little place that has awesome views, awesome people (Thanks Wendy! It was great to meet you!) And an Incredible 2012 Sauvignon Blanc as well as the very best 2012 Petite Syrah ever! I loved this place and received incredible customer service here. I highly recommend you find this little gem and visit them. I will be back! read more

Beautiful grounds, service lacking. We visited Cast on a warm Sunday afternoon in October. This location has some things going for it, but in my view, more negatives than positives. The plus side: - Beautiful setting and view, high on the hillside with a wonderful view of the vineyards in the Dry Creek area. - lovely finishes throughout the winery, including the patio area and the (small) indoor tasting room. The negatives: - Service just didn't align with the feel of the place - because they encouraged you to do the tasting outside, it's sort of like a waiter's service at a restaurant - but for the tastings it was typical to have 10-15 minutes or more to by before the next wine arrived. With a very short tasting menu (4 wines in a flight) you'd expect to be able to taste and complete it within 30-45 minutes. On our visit, we were there about an hour and only made it to the 3rd pour. - because of the table service, you never felt connected to the winery or the server. You got about three sentences of information and then they were gone (not to return for 15 minutes....) 1 so no connection to them, their wine making, or their stories. - 3 bottle minimum to waive 1 tasting fee. You're pouring 2.5 oz. of wine for the $25 reserve flight, and one $40 bottle isn't enough for me to get my taste waived? Just doesn't have the neighborhood feel of the wineries that keep me coming back to Sonoma. read more

Cast wasn't on our list of wineries to visit during Winter Wineland; however, it was their sign off the main road, that caught our eye. We're taught not to judge a book by it's cover, but it is the cover that draws in the audience's attention. So as we drove up the driveway and found our way walking into the tasting room, we had no idea what to expect. But the anticipation, the scenery (amazing view!), the friendly staff all contributed to our experience. It also helped that our first taste was of something bubbly, and that's probably one of my weak spots. The other tastes were less memorable, and in fact, my girl friend probably enjoyed their chai tea more than anything else. However, everything we DID like, ended up scoring points towards Cast being one of our favorites for the weekend! read more

What a great find. Fabulous wines. Friendly people. One of my top wineries in Healdsburg.

Recently came for wine tasting on a trip with a few friends from Oregon. We didn't want to go overboard with tastings, but found this little gem while out and about and decided to stop in. I am SO glad we did. The cost for the tasting was perfectly reasonable. The setting is small and cozy unlike many of the bigger wineries nearby that feel like a Disneyland ride. John greeted us right away. Even with a light drizzle, he was happy to chat and serve our wine while we sat outside. He was so pleasant, teaching us about the Dry Creek area, the specifics of each wine we tried. We loved him so much we asked him to give us a call the next time he visited Portland. I highly recommend adding this place to your wine tasting agenda. They even suggested a pizza spot for dinner that was superb. Amazing customer service and a great experience. read more

This was our least favorite stop on our tour. The staff was rude, they were pressuring our group to commit to the long tour which we didn't have time for, and while I'll agree with other reviewers that the view was beautiful there are far too many wineries in the area with equally nice views that will treat you much better. read more

Came to Sonoma for a 4 day weekend and visited many many wineries. And this was by FAR my worst experience. They charge a lot for a tasting which does not equate to the pours that were offered. I sat with my friends at this place for about an hour and we only got a couple of tastings. The white wines were given so warm we had to pour them out. We decided to pay and leave because we were sick of the poor neglectful service. We went inside and told them that we were leaving. They said they would only charge us for 3 tastings instead of four! We did not even get half of the wines we should have been able to sample. I will disputing this charge on my credit card. Very disappointed in the customer service and the overall experience. The view, however, is amazing. read more

We were so impressed by cast we are wine club member 13 These are great wines and the staff and owners could not be sweeter. Very helpful We even have had them come back to Ohio for the past two years to do a wine tasting at our golf club Members were so impressed by the wide variety of wines as well as being able to meet the owners Jack and Ann. They loved the education and stories they shared about their wines and the wine industry. The only part of this tasting that was difficult was not being able to decide which wine they liked the best read more

Cast just completed a beautiful addition to their tasting room, the wines are great the views are incredible. It is a wonderful winery.

Just a wonderful vineyard all around. Brought a group here last weekend and we loved everything about this place, staff (Duff took great care of us), wines (Invocation & reserve Petite Syrah were amazing), & the grounds/views overall were spectacular. Thanks for a great experience! read more

I always make sure to come by here whenever I go wine tasting! It's one of my favorite wineries. The outside patio and the view is spectacular! So relaxing while drinking your wine and staring at the vineyards and the valley. They have complimentary cheese, olives and crackers! read more

Abigail was fantastic. This winery was tucked in on the northern part of dry creek valley, so it took quite a few visits to the area to visit. Also, the winery opened within the past year, so it was perfect timing. We've been to the surrounding wineries and this one is a gem. Better views than Ferrari across the street. The wines are also well priced and very good. They have a sparkling wine to a petite Syrah. My wife and I are red fans and it didn't disappoint. The old vine sin is quite good and actually drinkable without food. It wasn't jammy, but it also wasn't a sausage-tasting zin. It was somewhere in the middle with a lot of complexity. Overall, customer service was great, the wines were great, and the views were quite relaxing. This is a must visit winery and we've been to dozens of wineries in this area. read more

Beautiful views! Friendly staff. Cute merchandise. Love their sparkling wine. Nice area to relax outside . Dog friendly

Amazing view and ambiance! My husband and I were looking for a winery with a good view where we could eat our picnic. Someone from Silver Oak Cellars suggested this place to us and we were beyond impressed! The wine was good as well, but we definitely walked away talking more about the beautiful picnic setting, service, music and the view. read more
