Excellent wine tasting with plenty of safety controls in place. You cannot beat the variety and quality of their winemakers. Love!!

Fantastic selection of local wine with a real pulse of the wine making scene, terroir, and local history of the more storied wineries in the region.

Just wanted to say thank you for a nice tasting experience! Even though you have to make a reservation it is well worth the experience. The studio pours great wines and tries to make you feel as normal as possible during these crazy times. We sat out on the patio and brought a picnic and tasted through the course of our meal. A special thanks to Whitney for her hospitality and knowledge! She is well-versed in the wines she pours and of the surrounding areas. Her friendly and warm demeanor made our day!

This place is such an awesome and unique experience! The staff is fantastic and their wines are diverse. There is a reason the most quintessential wineries get their start here. It is unparalleled in showcasing small producers that are up and coming!

I love this place. The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. Great variety of wine and labels. So happy to be a member. Today we really Enjoyed the 00 VGW and VGR, though we loved the Cummins and Hyland labels as well. This is the only place I've enjoyed every bottle they crack open from reds to white. Great ambiance and easy parking.

I had a chance to do a tasting with four of the winemakers and hear the details of the heart and chemistry that goes into their craft that results in the impressive wines we tasted. This was the third event I've attended at Carlton Winemaker's Studio and the best yet! The staff onsite are knowledgeable and helpful, adding to a great overall experience. I know of nowhere else where we can access this many wines from so many winemakers in a single tasting room, which among all the other benefits, has an awesome ambiance and beautiful patio area. Love this place!

The Winemaker's Studio is definitely the best start in this wonderful wine region! We felt so fortunate to meet Whitney as our Sommelier! She is so informed about the wine culture and process and the wonderful asset the Winemaker's Studio is to the entire local industry. We sampled a fabulous variety of wines with her, met a very accomplished winemaker that creates in the Studio, and, of course, became a 12 bottle member (even after many declarations of my Husband leading up to this trip that we "CAN'T JOIN ANOTHER CLUB! We don't have enough room to store more wine") Couldn't resist, you get access to such unique offerings! No regrets, can't wait to host tasting parties every shipment! We'll visit the Studio every trip West in the future! So much to learn!

My boyfriend and I went on a last minute wine tasting trip this weekend and stopped by CWS because we enjoyed the wines last year when we went. Tracy was happy to answer our endless questions about all of the wines and winemakers. I should note that we remembered her from our last visit because we rolled in at about 5 minutes before closing and she was so gracious and welcoming. I love the entrepreneurial spirit of the studio and the seasoned mentors who collaborate with other talented winemakers. Besides Tracy being a great host, the wines we tried both visits were unique and enjoyable. Lucky me, my boyfriend joined the club.

I'm so bummed to write this review. I've been waiting to try this place for several years, having been long time members/fans at Ponzi and being big fans of the Hamacher label. We popped in recently 15 min to close looking to taste and join the club, but were told there was really no time for a taste as they'd closed their books, but they could open them if we wanted to purchase. I understand wanting to get out the door, but in the interest of customer service this is a sad approach to turning away business. You missed out on loyal fans/members of the local wine community.

Everything is exceptional from caliber of winemakers and the quality and variety of wines being turned out - there is no other place like it. The wine club is on point with fun and different events and the best part is you are sharing them with a variety of winemakers. Highly recommend!

We ordered 5 cases of wine from Andrew Rich, and were in the process of arranging payment and pick-up, when all of a sudden he would not reply to our e-mails. This has been going on since Thanksgiving. We have been a customer of his for at least 8 years.

Andrew Rich whites are some of my favorites. This particular tasting room was a bit of a bummer because the selection of Andrew Rich was actually pretty limited, which was strange. They only had two reds open. They had some other whites open, but I really made the drive to check out Andrew Rich whites. Oh well.
