Lovely winery and distillery. I will say this was a fun getaway to try out some wine, vodka, rum and bourbon. The service was helpful and we enjoyed the company. They have a comfortable tasting room and wine room to see all the options available here. My favorite wine was the green apple Riesling and bourbon. The green apple was perfectly sweet for me and the bourbon was so smooth. Fun place! read more

This place has great wine! No tannins so it won't give you a hangover! The ambiance and service were impeccable! We will be back!

Very chill and laid back atmosphere. Heather was absolutely amazing. We love the nice quite spot where the decor was cute. I had a service animal with me and she was even welcomed. Wine selection was good. Something for everyone . Charcuterie board was very nice. I never knew I liked goat cheese. Was in town to celebrate husband's birthday. We'll definitely be back. Thanks again. Heather for the many texts and questions u answered. read more

Clear Creek - cheese, crackers, and crackers on a wooden platter - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Kemah, Texas

Nestled on the coast of Kemah, this quaint little winery has fruit wine and cocktails served in a labyrinth of a building that I dare say is 'intentionally wacky and zany' with misshapen windows and doors. Walking up, it feels like you have to solve a troll's riddle to receive secret passage to the bar. The winery itself has all of the gear and none of the game; an expansive wine menu that is average-tasting and almost zero seating outside on the patio. Overall, the place was cute and had pleasant staff, but it is not a place to hang out with a group for any period of time longer than 10 minutes. read more

My assistant and I had a wonderful time here!! Mechelle and Heather were both so accommodating to us. We got a tour of the entire place, which has some warm and inviting rooms to hang out and enjoy a glass of wine, or have a private party! The Italian Gourmet cheese board was so delicious!! I love that the veggies are sourced from their garden during the Summer! We did a flight that included the Peach Chardonnay, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon! I have to admit that I rarely drink sweet wines, but the Peach Chardonnay was amazing!! Tasted like I was eating a fresh, juicy peach!! They will also be distilling vodka before the end of the year, including a black cherry vodka!! Yum! This hidden gem is a must visit!! read more

We have seen many Groupon deals and other offers available. We decided to try it out. The winery exterior and interior were really nice and very attractive. The wine tasting experience was similar to other wineries so they are up to par with the market in pricing and experience. The wine was not great. We were not super impressed with the selection and we tried 8 different wines. We thought we would enjoy a cheese board as well ...BIG MISTAKE!! The cheese board we got was the French board and it was $35, the bread was stale and the cheese ehh. We didn't have high expectation based on the location, obviously wine made by the gulf isn't going to be great. The service was quick and good. My recommendation is it's worth checking out just don't have high expectations and maybe avoid French cheese board. read more

Clear Creek - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Kemah, Texas

Unique historical ambiance where you can relax and enjoy refreshment of your choice. My choice is one of three (maybe 4) red varietals- Cabernet, Malbec, Sangiovese (Pinot Noir). They also have my favorite charcuterie board in this area (aka Texas)! read more

We stopped in here prior to dinner at Eculent. I have to say I was underwhelmed, even a bit dissatisfied in the wine flights here. We opted for two of the red flights and there wasn't a single wine we appreciated of the six. I don't think I would recommend this to any of my friends. Just skip this portion and head straight to dinner at Eculent! I'll give it two stars since the man behind the bar was nice, though he was overwhelmed and didn't have time to go over any of the wines with us. read more

Clear Creek - Flights! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Kemah, Texas

Enjoyed checking this place out. Nice staff that was very welcoming. Small place with some indoor and outdoor seating. You can stay here in one of the little house they have that connects to the winery. Wine was a bit pricey for wine tasting. I did see that some people purchased groupons for the tour, so perhaps that would give you a discount on the the wine tasting as well. We had two options without the groupon. First was to try 3 wines for $17 and the second was to try 4 wines for $25. I did enjoy the different summer flavors they had, like watermelon, blackberry, and grapefruit. These were all refreshing for a hot summers day. They have games you can play with the group your with and a small room with limited seating. Outside there is more seating with shade. Overall I did enjoy this cute little place and will come back to enjoy some more of their wines. read more

I have enjoyed coming here for years. I have been a wine club member at several wineries and this is the only membership I have kept in the last 9 years. The owner and daughter are fantastic. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. It is not a kid oriented. We always bring guest with us here and it is a great help to our guests in figuring out if they are wine drinkers. Sine they (our guest) explore their wines and the way they are made they can truly find the grape type or variety they like. My favorite part about the venue is nothing is imported from outside of the states. If you buy a Merlot wine you get 100% merlot grapes nothing added to it. Cabernet, Sauvignon are all the same 100% that grape. No fruits no extra additives just pure grape. This is great for someone like me who is allergic to many of the chemicals added to store bought wine to preserve the taste and make it last longer on the shelf. They also make really good fruit wines if your just starting on your wine adventure and need something sweeter to enjoy. They even now serve "spirits" that are gluten free and they are so delicious and smooth. If you are looking for in depth information on their wines and process talk to the owner she is always willing to talk to people who are willing to listen. Highly suggest that if you know nothing about wines take the tour it is short first, ask many questions, and enjoy yourself. read more

Passed this winery for years coming to Kemah and Finally stopped. The tasting room was very nice and quaint. It's a great spot to enjoy a little hide away from The hustle and bustle of the board walk and enjoy some quieter time. The wines we had were all fantastic had 2 flights of reds. Can't wait to go back for a other round. read more

Clear Creek - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Kemah, Texas

Excellent facility with decent service, but the wine is not at the same level. Honestly, I'd give the tasting room an A and the red wines a collective C+. The reds are harsh, especially the Barrel-Aged Red Blend. This is probably the worst red I've ever tried in the $30+ range. The whites and sweet wines were really good, though! I'd give them a B+. Aside from that, staff were excellent and the venue was awesome. Would I return? Maybe for the whites - they were decent! read more

Dropped in before an amazing meal at Eculent. Nice tasting room and lots of wine for any palate. 42 options if I remember correctly. When in Kemah, give them a try. read more

Clear Creek - Nice Sauvignon Blanc made from California juice, but processed and barrel aged in Texas. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Kemah, Texas

I used to be a wine club member here until I switched jobs and I just couldn't guarantee I'd make it to Kemah each month. Let me just say that the wine is absolutely fantastic. My husband and I LOVE the peach Chardonnay. The red blends are phenomenal whenever available. We first stopped by with a Groupon, so we got to try the food then as well. It's also exceptional. All and all, I miss my monthly bottles and can't wait to be in a place where I can restart my membership! read more

Super over priced and rude service. After coming in with 3 other couples and trying the wine and buying into the bottle club with their liquor, we reviewed our receipt to see they had charged an additional tip after I already gave them a $50 tip. We spent about $300 per couple. She then insinuated that we were somehow poor because, "some people just cant afford good wine." Um.....IF you would read your reviews the wine isn't terrible, just overpriced and multiple people on multiple review sites have said the owner/manager is just rude. read more

It was going pretty good for most of our visit. It was my wife's birthday and we wanted to try this winery out on our way to Galveston for the weekend. They accommodated us as we reserved time in the lounge, but since we really wanted a wine tasting (and there were no appointments available) they allowed a wine tasting in the lounge (we were the only ones in the lounge). Although the server didn't know much about the wines (or at least was reluctant to talk much about the wines), it all seemed to be going well, and we ordered a couple of bottles of wine- to-go after our tasting concluded. I thought it odd that when it was time to pay, they never gave me an invoice, but rather went straight to payment via a tablet. The display only showed the total cost which, based on 2 bottles of wine and a wine tasting with cheese board, seemed reasonable. The first item was to select a tip which I did based on the total . I gave a $17.50 tip - pretty generous for a $35 wine tasting and a $35 Charcuterie Board. I had to ask for her to print out a receipt. She wasn't even going to email it to me if I hadn't asked. Then when she brought the receipt, instead of handing it to me she asked if she could put it in the bag with the wine. I assumed everything was fine with the receipt and order and said OK. We had two bags to carry out ( which appeared to be the 2 bottles of wine - one white, one red - we ordered), and we left to continue our trip. Later that evening after we arrived in Galveston did we realize we had been fooled. I went to get the bottle of white wine we had ordered, but instead of the wine there were 2 wine glasses instead. Then I looked at the receipt. The server had already put in a $13.50 "Service Fee "(tip) into the order prior to me tipping and not disclosed this. Plus she added a $5 "Custom Item", and I have no clue what that was for. So we were tricked into giving the server a $31 tip on a $70 order (before the wine bottles purchased). I was really disappointed in what appeared to be a deliberate attempt to hide the charges from me. I would have probably gone back at some point in the future since it is near the Kemah Boardwalk, and brought friends. But not now. Buyer beware and look at your receipts before you pay if you go to this place. You might want to venture down to Haak Wineries in Santa Fe instead. read more

Enjoyed the wine. The customer service is a bit lacking. Sweet young girl who served us, but she really didn't know much about wine and spent the entire time stocking shelves. The wine is pricey. A flight was $25. Similar tasting rooms are $10-$15. Bottles here are $40 which we thought was too much. Cheese was good, but pricey. Spent more than 100 for two people to have wine and cheese. read more

A very cute little winery located right near the Kemah boardwalk. We went on a Sunday and it was not crowded at all (which I enjoyed). We tried out the cheese board with the fruit wines and I really enjoyed most of them. I was wanting to tour the place, but I don't think they were offering tours at the time that we arrived. This was my very first winery to visit and I definitely look forward to going back as well as trying out others. read more

Beautiful place! Staff very nice! Atmosphere, outside patio gorgeous! Wine Tasting? Wine was great! Price was ridiculous! $25.00 per person for what came out to maybe 2.5 glasses of wine. No thanks!

This is in response to Bill Cole's review: There is two sides to this story and I will address his issues. I am the acting Director at Clear Creek Vineyard and we strive to provide the best possible experiences to our customers. However, there are times that the customer is not always right and this is one of those rare occasions and I will explain why. Bill contacted me to make a reservation on a Saturday ( which is our busiest Day ) and we were fully booked for the day so I told him the only thing we had available was the Lounge and he would have to make a reservation due to covid19 restrictions everyone needed to make a reservation. Bill went online and booked a single reservation for the two of them which is incorrect its per person. When he paid for his 1 reservation online he was shown all the pricing to all the experiences we have to offer and when he checked out he was presented with the service fee ( which is not a tip) * A Tip is what a customer leaves at their own will for good services provided, it is not required, nor expected but greatly appreciate and is added to all service items and is clearly listed on receipt for customer to see and a sign is posted in the bar letting customers know about the service fee. When they arrived we had them a table set up in our Lounge and told him that since they were from out of town we would allow them up grade to the tasting for the additional $15 fee which is the difference from what the Lounge fee was. ( note customer was never charged the entire $15) only the difference was $5 which was listed as a custom item on his New receipt. Customer then ordered a second wine tasting $35.00 and a cheese board for $34.99. When they were seated they were offered a bottle of water that is in a clear wine bottle*. The server then presented the wine tasting to the customers and went back to attending other customers as we were very busy as I stated previously but made it a point to check on the frequently. Later she provided them with their 2 full glasses of wine of Hog Wild ( red wine). When it came time to check out they ordered a single bottle of Hog wild ( red bottle of wine) $39.99 minus 10% off the bottle to make it $35.99 + tax No service fee added; cheese board $34.99; $5 custom ( wine tasting fee mentioned above ) which included a service fee on cheese board and tasting only and tax. Then the customer added the Tip $17.50 which made the whole order $151.44 (Not $70 as stated) When the customer was presented with the payment method he added the tip to the tablet and signed and handed back to server and asked for a receipt. When the server returned she had the single bottle of wine they ordered the Hog wild in a sack with the receipt inside and a sack with their two free etched wine glasses inside. The other "bottle of wine" was actuality the bottle of water that was on the table the entire time not another bottle of wine. There was never another bottle of wine ordered. The customers left and we did not hear from them until we read a review on TripAdvisor several days later with a long less that truthful account of the days event. At any time the customer could have pulled the receipt from the bag ( which is common practice ) and reviewed it before leaving the establishment if he had questions. Or when he got home he could have called us regarding his confusion about what they purchased and what he was charged so if there was a mistake we could have corrected it. But instead he choose to go to social media and provide false and misleading statements and depriving us the opportunity to resolve the matter. We refunded the customer his $17.50 tip as this seemed to be the basis for his sole complaint, not about the services we provided especially when we had accommodated them with a less than 2 hour notice on a fully booked day at peek hours of business. So in closing I ask that all that read these reviews please keep in mind that there is always to sides to every story. Come Judge us for yourself we look forward to it. read more

If you're ever visiting Kemah add this to your list of things to do. This was my first visit to a winery and I was impressed.

Clear Creek - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Kemah, Texas

I really hate giving them a two because the winery has grown and the addition is nice. The staff is a bit strange.. I keep wondering why the owners mom or mother-inlaw thought I would report to her the MENS bathroom is not working????!!! What the What honey this is a whole lot of woman here. The tricky wording of the groupon: it's a winery tour not a tasting. You get half a glass of wine with a cheese plate and get to walk around their factory but not on the grounds. We took a sneak perk on the grounds and their are four grape vines and a few moldy guest house on the property. So glad we ask to see in before I booked. Talk about a time-warp! No I am good but I couldn't get over the smell. Back to the winery I am sadden that bigger is not better at all. read more

The only reason I'm giving it a 3 star is because of Barbra. She is the keeper of the Clipper B&B next door. Same owners. She gave us a tour of the winery in May for Cory's Birthday. Very nice women. So we are staying at the Clipper Inn for two days before we make our way back to Florida. When staying here you are offered a Complimentary cheese platter & winery tour. Cory has to work so I thought I would just adventure over and taste some wine and buy some bottles. We love wine! Wanted to buy some for gifts too. Didn't want to do the tour again. I told her... Not busy it's Tuesday afternoon I understand. I find the women. Told her I was staying next door. Said ok. I said I would like to purchase some wine. Handed me the list and did not offer to help or taste anything. I walked over to wall full of medals they have won to try to see what to get since she wouldn't even small talk with me. I looked over at her and asked her if she ran this place. She said yes.. I made a not thrilled noise. Walked back over. I'll take the peach and the blend. Told me the price and it was 50 something. Telling me the blend was 30 something. I read the prices. I have money ma'am that is not an issue. I look like I'm in my early 20s, but I am in my 30s. Please don't address me as sweety. Thanks I left, I didn't say thank you and I was not thrilled with my last day in Kemah. It's rainy out and you are not busy. Be pleasant to your customers and the people staying in your Inn. Smile, offer something to drink, offer the cheese platter. You are in hospitality! Act like it.... read more

A friend and I bought a groupon for a winery tour and grape stomping. It said it would include a shirt and wine tasting. The shirts were only available in limited sizes. No wine tasting. The tour was short and boring. This event was poorly planned and lacked organization. The staff was rude and would not let us use their bathrooms instead offering nasty portapottys. The food choices were limited, overpriced and they also ran out of pizza. Long lines for wine, food and grape stomping. I would not return. The only positive thing was the band. They played great music and popular songs. read more

Nice concept and location, great atmosphere. The wine isn't good at all though. :(

It was only OK. It is a nice little winery in decor, but the wine was not that good. Only liked one out of the three tastings I got, but would not pay $30 for the bottle. It's not $30 quality wine. My friend and I had the cheaper tasting ($15), didn't want to spend $25 for a tasting. For these prices you should at least be able to keep your wine glass. It was something to do while my friend was in town, but I won't be going back. read more

We phoned to book a table at very short notice and they managed to accommodate us. There are only seven tables but it is a wonderful experience, the food was well cooked and presented. We enjoyed the appetizers choosing the sirloin sliders and the Mediterranean jam jar with bread and biscuits. Two of the group had the blackberry chicken, one had the herb chicken (which seemed a little tough) and I had the special Mushroom Risotto, all the chicken meals were beautifully presented but the bowl of risotto looked a little over cooked and did not look at all apetizing but tasted very good. Two of the group had desert choosing the berry desert and the mocha coffee desert which they enjoyed. read more

The restaurant is named Tabella. It is separate from the winery and tasting room. Search for Tabella to find reviews for the restaurant. The tasting room is a great place to hang out. It is separated into three rooms and not crowded, so you have a good chance to have your own room for your group. There is an outdoor patio downstairs with a fountain and garden. The bartender was hilarious and had great wine recommendations. The waitstaff at Tabella will bring over dessert if you order it from the tasting room, or you can just walk next door and pick it up yourself :) read more

We were told to excuse ourselves from the wine tasting room. Even though we were told to sit in this area. We interrupted the lady giving info on winery not intentionally and she rudely asked us to move to another area.

Where do I start! $19 for a winery tour. I had a groupon and let it expire because I couldn't work in the weekend tour times with house guests. I was not permitted to use the value for wine, I had to take the tour. Really, you won't let me buy your wine with my green money? It is a 15 minute tour dragged out to an hour by an attempt at clever chatter and a syrupy look on the tour guides face. She overly discusses her admiration for her employee named Camile (?) that can make tables and doors and be their best friend. It was a memorial to Camile... and we never go to meet him... but I guess she had to talk about something because it is a 15 min tour at best. They had a very nice cheese platter with a sip of their wine....that stuff must be made of gold because they are not letting you get more than a taste for that $19. And you get what they serve you, no choice, so the sweet berry Merlot... thanks I prefer dry reds. I understand they need revenue to keep a little boutique winery in Kemah... but the model is wrong. The pricing and the attitude is elite. They obviously prefer to charge more for everything than sell more wine. It is a cute place with cute decor and a good idea that is missing the mark. If you use your groupon - it is a passable experience for $9.50 but soooo not worth $19 per person as the full price. Go find a nice wine bar and buy a couple glasses of wine and speak to the guy or gal that serves you, they love wine and will tell you everything they know and be a lot more interesting. read more

The wine is good but the service...what service? The explanation of the wines ..."yes, that one is good." The tasting room food ... Cracker bites. The, well, lets call it what it is ...

We are new to the area and decided to stop by and have a tasting. I found the tastings to be a bit overpriced 3 tastings for $17+tax. The lady who was behind the bar wasn't able to tell me anything about the wines other than to take the tour and I would learn a lot. The wines I found to very comparable to MD dry wines so that was a plus. I really wish the experience had been different and the staff was more knowledgeable. read more

The service was terrible and nobody was friendly. Seems like a local place where visitors are not welcome as much.

Writing my review 4 months late. Yes, 4 months. - was here in late December and wanted to make it to the New Years Event they were going to make but didn't get the chance to make it after all. This place is newly built and the atmosphere is exceptional. There is soul to this place. I didn't have the chance to sample anything except the wine, some cheeses and olives and I had an amazing time. They have many types of wine and it was the best time I had in a long time. The menu had not been completed yet and was curious on the approach. I believe the menu will rotate according to market and season. I wasn't given the contact information of the Chef there after asking; hoping this will make up for it. Staff helpful, knowledgeable, skilled, friendly. I am going to review this again once I go in for a bite to eat. AMAZING first impression and a hidden gem. A MUST see. read more

We tried to go here while we were in town for a girl's trip. The place was empty but we were told we could only sit at the bar, facing the wall, and that they'd automatically put 20% gratuity on our bill. They made it clear to all of us we were not welcome there and that its put them out to help us. Very disappointing after visiting all the other shops in town and being greeted with such friendliness. Glad we didn't waste our money. Maybe it's different when there's only two in your party... read more
