    The wine was excellent. We were pleasantly surprised that our group of 9 all were able to be accommodated for and we all found something we loved. The view is great and this is a no fuss winery, unpretentious and focused on producing high quality wines. Everyone we bumped into was pleasant and friendly stopping to joke with us and show us what they were working on. The person that guided us through the wines I don't think was the regular person, he was young only 21 but he was extremely knowledgeable for only starting to build his taste for wine.

    We had the pleasure of a private tasting for an afternoon where we were privy to about 8 different wines to taste. Nothing I tasted was something I didn't want to finish, delicious wines. Friendly staff, gorgeous property and newly built out decks to savor that amazing valley view. The current owners have had the property since 2012, before that it was in the same family since the 70's. Sounds like the fresh energy is doing the wines some good by looking at older reviews. I really loved and walked away with the Meritage, Viognier, Sparkling Rosè, and a bottle of the Pinot noir rosè. Some I didn't even try but still bought because I had enough faith since everything I did try was lovely. Approachable wines, reasonable prices, friendly staff, beautiful property. Solid choice to add to your radar.

    ***3.5 Stars*** Top notch service in a very beautiful setting! Christopher Creek Winery really exudes the epitome of impeccable service. Our wonderful tasting experience with Corey was memorable for all of the right reasons. This was our first wine tasting stop during the Winelove weekend event, and it was a great way to start off our wine filled day. When we arrived, we were escorted to their back patio where we began our tasting with Corey. The views from their back patio are simply stunning! Sweeping views of their lush vineyards and the Sonoma Valley right in the forefront. Corey gave us a quick tour of the members only tasting area that overlooks the pool and back deck. Our tasting was actually conducted at a small tasting bar area on their patio. The only thing that was strange was that we had to stand the entire time. This was the only winery that we went to that day that actually made us stand up the whole time. It kind of irked me because we reserved this tasting a month in advance and there was nobody else there when we went. It was honestly kind of awkward and uncomfortable. Luckily, the remarkable service that we received from Corey kind of made us forget that we had been standing there the whole time. Corey poured us 4 wines from their current tasting menu (1 white wine, and 3 reds), and he also let us try a few other wines that weren't on the tasting menu. The wines overall were hit or miss, but our absolute favorites were the ones that he poured that weren't on the tasting menu. We all fell completely in love with their Cab Franc! It was so smooth and well rounded. It had such an amazing earthiness with an emphasis on the darker fruits. A beautiful slow slipping wine. But at $75 a bottle, a bit steeper than what we had hoped for a bottle of Cab Franc. But let me tell you; this man Corey was SELLING IT, mmkay?! He described every note of each of the wines that we tasted almost right down to the tee. He told us that their Cab Franc exquisite and that it was one of his favorites. He was absolutely right. That man surely knows his wines. It's funny because after we tasted at the other wineries, we really wanted to come back to get the Cab Franc. The price tag is high but so is the quality. Even though I felt uncomfortable standing, I'd still come back again for another fun wine tasting experience with Corey. I'd just hope that next time, I'd actually be able to sit down and enjoy the wine.

    Welcome to Fall party.

    Celebrating the arrival of Fall. "Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle."Paulo Coelho. We came with a group of friends in celebration of the arrival of fall. The location could not have been more perfect! This is stunning and iconic Sonoma County locally owned family vineyard and winery that sits high above the rolling hills of Healdsburg. We were mesmerized by the breathtaking panorama from the deck and admired the extensive view of the beautiful vineyards. So many fabulous wines. You have to come and partake in the goodness!! The tasting pours are generous and the staff is extremely knowledgable. However, we loved the friendly vibes that were highlighted by the accommodating hospitality! Thank you Foppoli family for a beautiful evening! Location perks: Stunning scenic views, barrel tasting, private tours, outdoor seating, and so much more. Love: Pet friendly!

    Had an amazing time one Saturday wine-tasting in a group of 9 people. Great wine, views, setting, and friendly service from the head wine guy, Corey. Some fun facts we learned: - drunken mistakes are common when making wine--in 2000, one vintner at Christopher Creek made the deux barriques wine because thought he was combining only petite sirahs when in fact he was blending 2 petit sirahs and 2 Russian River zinfandels. These were from different parts of. the world, but both co-ferment until the end of their lifetime, then blend and sit together. Both wines grow in the exact same soil and climate, and are picked at the same time. Christopher Creek is pretty much the only winery that makes this one wine! 2 finance families (one from Texas) used to own the Winery, and one of their sons was named Christopher and used to play in a creek nearby. - you can pay money to buy land on to help make wine, and name it! The Zoella was made by a Florida man after his two dogs, Zoey and Bella. Christopher Creek was delicious, unique, and fun. It's an experience to be shared with loved ones. Shoutout to Corey--so fun and knowledgeable, will be back, and I am tempted to contemplate their Wine Family program where I can get wines delivered quarterly and get discounts to use their estate house and pool (save money on Airbnbs!)

    Alex who led the tasting was adorable. The viogner and Pinot are delicious. Views are incredible

    10 of us spent several hours tasting wines on a lovely day with a lovely view of rolling hills and vineyards . this is a winery concerned with quality over quantity and it shows in their wines. Corey our steward was personable, extremely knowledgeable and fun. we had the standard samplings but Corey also had a few surprise samplings for us. each wine was as tasty or tastier than the previous one. it was by far our favorite winery of the 3 we visited on our tasting day in Sonoma valley. highly recommend!!!

    Charming winery estate with panoramic views of verdant, rolling hills and a mind blowing wine selection. I can't imagine a better place to relax outside and sip some of California's best grapes. My standout reds were the 2016 Nebbiolo, the 2014 Millennium Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2016 Cabernet Franc. The 2017 Foppoli Oakless Chardonnay was also very refreshing, and makes for an amazing brunch/breakfast wine. The staff and owners were very knowledgeable, and walked us through the history of their family business, as well as the wine flavor profiles.

    Wine, view, and host was great! Thank you, Corey, for showing us an amazing time. You need to go.

    This was one of the best experiences we have ever had in wine country, and I'm even in the industry! First off, the property sits atop a beautiful crest of hills overlooking endless vineyards and a beautiful mountain backdrop. This made for an incredible tasting out in a cabana next to the pool (members can use this pool in the summer, sweet perks!). The cabana sits right next to the fence which drops down to their vineyards on sight. The winery itself is a totally unassuming wood barn type of building, but the wines are world class. The owner, Liam, was able to pour for us for the majority of our visit, and was incredibly knowledgeable yet still down to earth in his flip flops and thrasher-esque tee shirt and board shorts. This is not your typical tasting room or tasting experience, but before you think that this homey, chill environment will be any less than a phenomenal and educational experience, take a moment to listen to the vast knowledge that Liam and his team provide. We started with a Viognier, which I am very picky about, and was pleasantly surprised by the bright acidity, yet still luscious mouthfeel that it possessed and moved our way through a very nice flight of on and off menu wines, all greater than the last. If you know me, you know I have a deep hatred for Pinot Noir (although I am never above trying it, and always taste with an open mind, allowing each one its own opportunity to impress me). I informed Liam of my distaste to Pinot... he promptly laughed and said, "hold on..." he proceeded to pour me one of the best Pinots I have ever had, and probably just changed my mind. I am thoroughly aware, not all wine is created equal and understand that all the Pinot I have despised in the past, were simply not made the way my palate enjoys. Their prices are very reasonable for their main tasting, ranging from about $30-$85 but they certainly have their high end stuff for those interested ranging from $100-$500, some cabs I have been told will blow your socks off, and I can't wait to come back to try them. All in all, this is an absolute treat of a winery that will make you think twice about all those stuffy, by-the-book wineries that don't let you relax and become acquainted with the wine you are going to purchase. Hitch a ride up there, say hello to Liam and kick back, relax, and enjoy such a phenomenal experience. PS NOTE TO EVERYONE, the cabana and pool area is a WINE CLUB location that also should be booked in advance.

    Gorgeous views, mediocre wine. The staff was fairly young and a little inexperienced, but they still tried and were polite. They were very accommodating to our large group and allowed us to bring in food. I really like how they have poolside tastings, so you can enjoy the scenery of the rolling hills and vineyards. Great low-key atmosphere. They weren't too busy when we came here during Memorial Day weekend. They also have a house next door that you could rent.

    We planned my friend's big 30th birthday celebration here in June, and had an amazing time. The staff was super friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We called ahead of time to make a reservation for a group of 10 people. Their prices for wine tastings are very reasonable, and red and whites were great. We were able to bring picnic foods and even store some of the perishable ones in their fridge before serving. From start to finish, the folks at Christopher Creek upheld amazing customer service. The space is very nice, and views of the Vineyard are gorgeous. Would absolutely recommend this winery to anyone!

Season Leef was our host/wine ambassador that morning and we loved her energy, attention to detail and how she treated us like we were members of the MacRostie Winery/family.

But, I really appreciated that Season brought over some paper and a pack of markers for them since they both still like to draw.

The white wines had a clean and crisp taste with that bright acidity and mineral finish. The reds had a very deep grapefruit aromatic and earthy undertone. After we've done with wine tasting, they gave us a free piece of dark chocolate (super yummy) at the end for palate cleanser. Our server was really knowledgeable and attentive though, so service was nice. Overall a great spot if you stay cool! But okay, few things to watch out for. Make sure you make a reservation in advance cuz they were packed (reservations needed prepayment). Even though we had one, we still had to wait like 20 minutes before our table was ready. Also, definitely ask to sit inside in the summer!! We sat outside and there is no AC, it was so hot we couldn't fully enjoy the graveyard view, it's way too sweaty for the summer.
