Calling ALL wine enthusiasts...don't walk, RUN to this quant and uniquely inspired winery. During a recent visit to the area, a friend and I were pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavors of the wine here. The staff who work there are another reason to visit this place, their passion for the wine flowed freely as they told the story of how this place came to be and it enhanced our appreciation for the wine maker and his vision. Here are a few more things to consider on your upcoming visit: - Bites: You can bring your own bites, brie and crackers pair well with their wines. We also brought some olives and mixed nuts too. - Prices: The price range for a tasting or a flight are reasonable + they typically give you a small taste of a popular wine, as well. Sweet little bonus! - Community Support: They have events such as live music and food trucks on Friday evenings, they promote local business and have a strong sense of community. - Vibe: They don't just care about their wine, they care about their guests, as we never felt rushed to leave or hurried to finish our tasting (we were there around closing time). The JOY they create with their wine and welcoming atmosphere are contagious, everyone a the winery had a SMILE on their face. Also, I noticed that people were connecting and taking time to share what wines they liked with each other at nearby tables - we made some new friends that day. Come for the wine and stay for the experience. read more

OK, this is EG, Bradshaw Road, one wouldn't think wine this good would be found here, yet indeed it is, and so much more. Jerry is an absolute gem walking you through the wine, and more importantly, the wine maker's passions. The wines here are impressive, simple yet nuanced and layered with flavors and smoothness. The grounds easily accommodate many people and is so close to Sacramento. Admittedly, I wasn't expecting to be impressed...it's nice to be proven wrong sometimes. Christopher is making a name for himself and the future is bright. We look forward to experiencing great wines and events. Do not overlook this winery! read more

Christopher Cellars - a glass of wine and a bottle of wine - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Took a different route to Elk Grove one day and saw that there is a winery off Bradshaw. Did some research and looked them up, added them to my winery list. I then noticed Christopher Cellars on the list for Best of Elk Grove voting. Heard from my Optometrist that Christopher Cellars is amazing. This is a sign, I must come experience this! So I came in with my girlfriend to do some tastings. Not sure what to expect on my first visit, but parking is on dirt road, the tasting room is very chilly and perfect to be in for a hot day. The tasting room had barrels and barrels of wine and your table will be a barrel to do some tastings as opposed to going to a counter. Staff will come by, greet you, show the tasting menu, and provide great information. Staff are very knowledgeable and good at giving the background on the wine you are about to taste. It feels like you've experienced the drink prior to even tasting it. There are so many unique wines made by Christopher. Barbera Rosè was an eye opener and so was the Cinsault. I am usually a no way rosé, but theirs is on point! Their Albarino was so crisp and refreshing. All employees are super friendly and looked happy to be there. They made me wish I was serving wine and intriguing information. I didn't notice any food being served but heard that they have food trucks on Fridays. There are plentiful outdoor seating and also live music on a Saturday afternoon. It was a very relaxing experience I'll tell ya. Kid and dog friendly as well in case you want to bring your family. read more

Today was my 1st time visiting as a guest. The impression at the start went well, however, as my party was finishing up at the end of the day, our table was visited w/ a, "let's wrap it up". We figured we had a bit longer to go, and we honestly did not realize Christopher cellars was closed already as the closing time was not brought up. (I recommend disclosing the closing time when preparing guests to leave). It turns out that we were there 45mins after closing at the time. One of the hosts came back again and was incredibly tactless with his dismissal towards us, which left the nastiest taste in our mouths and kind of spoiled our entire experience. Christopher cellars, you can thank him for ruining your reputation by word of mouth. He said that he, "Saw that", he noticed we poured out the last of our bottle, which was just enough for taste to go around for our 7 glasses. About as much as a sample we were given. So he walked up towards us tensely and said that he saw us pour another glass. My father said he had to pour the last of the bottle as it was just a bit. The host replied, "No you didn't have to. We appreciate you, but we're all trying to go home". The tension was thick and his tone made us all become quiet. I just feel as though he could've handled it a bit more professionally. I can guarantee you, if the time of closing was brought up, we would've headed out more urgently. We thought they closed at 6. Like I said, it was my 1st visit there, so it's not like I'm a regular that knows the hours of operation. We all decided to never go back. We were so upset on our way out, my cousin had to tell the host that he didn't need to say anymore. We hope Christopher Cellars takes this review and uses this as a coaching opportunity to train hosts more professional tactfulness. read more

We love this winery love the wine . The owners go out of their way to educate you on the wines so you choose what you really like. We are wine members of both the regular and the celebration wines. Love the discounts you receive for being a wine member! If you haven't tried them it's a must! Fran Bohlmann read more

My husband and I came tonight for the first time and Mike helped us and gave us so much information and we loved this place we became members! Can't wait to be back soon! read more

I cannot speak more highly about a winery than I can about Christopher Cellars. The moment I sampled the Winemakers Select I knew I would be a 12 bottle wine club member. With Christopher Cellars you get the craftsmanship of a boutique wine with the prices of the big labels. What really brings it all together is the passion the owners, Chris and Candice, have about their product. To be able to hear about the creative of process that went into each wine is what takes the wine from a great tasting wine to a real work of art. read more

Very nice winery with great wines. Chris spent a lot of time with us explaining his vision and his style for the wines.

We joined the wine club and we are very excited about the future. He gave us barrel tastings of their Barbera aged in french and American oak and they were phenomenal.

Christopher Cellars is a gem among the many wineries that sprout each year. For a wine enthusiast, California has so much to offer and I am always seeking new wineries that embrace the spirit of California Wine. The winemaker, Chris, crafts balanced wines of exceptional quality and value, and understands the synergy between vineyard and end product. After speaking with him at length, it is clear he has exceptional skill and enthusiasm. He takes great effort in managing the vineyards, as well as having a good relationship with growers to produce exceptional fruit. These are unprecedented times and starting a new winery requires dedication and innovation. I love the "Tasting to Go" that allows you to experience the wines and order those you love online for delivery or use the curbside pickup. This is a winery not to miss! read more

Delicious wines and great customer service! This winery focuses primarily on red wines but there Chardonnay and Malbec Rose are great! My personal favorite is the winemaker's select which is blend of Petit Verdot, Zinfandel and Malbec. The winemaker/owner Christopher was the one that provided the service which made the experience even better. I would highly recommend visiting this winery. They have great wines, family-owned and amazing service. during covid-19 they are doing "wine flights to go" and curbside pick up. read more

Wow I can't begin to explain how much I LOVE Christopher Cellars. The service is unmatched by any other winery I have been to. Their rose is my favorite and I buy that stuff by the case.

I was able to go to the opening day on March 7th before Covid 19 hit. There wines are amazing and the custom service was outstanding! During Covid 19 they have shifted to curbside pick up and "wine flights to go." You are able to get 5 wines at 1.7 oz per wine for $10.00. Go support this exceptional young winery that is family owned and operated. Chris and Candice, the owners are extremely passionate about all things wine and food related. Kid friendly and dog friendly. My personal favorite wines are the Malbec 2018 and Petit Verdot 2018 from the Bartholomew Family Vineyards. read more

They are now offering curbside pick up and wine flights to go! In the wine flights you get 5 wines for 10.00. It's a great to try a large range of wines.
