We had a great experience tasting Stilson wines with Deb. The wines are very much to our palate and we enjoyed our conversation with one of the owners. The red blends and the Syrah were on par with our favorites from other wineries, and the price points are affordable. We look forward to going back soon!

Had a wonderful tasting Sunday evening. Everything was delicious and we loved the story on how this cellar came to be! A bit off the path from downtown but worth the stroll over! They have truly mastered their craft on all the wines!
