Diane was our host for the wine tasting in the private room. She was very nice and did a great job explaining the history of how Darcie Kent got started and about all the wines. Loved the whole experience. The room set up was great, the view, the wine and love the purple color throughout the room and on the wine bottles. Would highly recommend going there. We bought two bottles of wine!
Great sunroom tasting but need to put a sign on the door indicating “Private Tasting.” Five times we were interrupted by innocent guests just looking for a place to sit. They were asked to leave which I’m sure was unpleasant for them, as well as for us at the tasting. A sign would prevent all that unpleasantness. Also you need to refund the price of a tasting of wine is purchased.
as A regular there disappointed they closed in the deck. It was always our favorite place to sit, see the tree and enjoy the wine. But we truely enjoyed our experience, Diane was fun, knowledgeable and entertaining. Served some great wines we had not tried before.
We had a lovely hour tasting wines and hearing the Darcie Kent story from Diane, who was very engaging and funny. We were also able to revisit ones we liked and came away with several bottles each. Highly recommended!
The wine is great but the wine tasting was cut short. We didn’t get to enjoy our wine tasting, hostess was rushing us because she was running behind the schedule. The hostess was wAiting for the other party so she started late, she was going too fast on her explanation then she keeps telling us that she’s running late that we need to leave ASAP for her 3pm appointment. We arrived on time at 2pm.
Diane did a nice job and we all really enjoyed it
Our wine specialist was great! She was knowledgeable about the wines as well as the winery. It was an awesome experience for my wife's birthday and her friends! The wines served were delicious...this made for a great day! I/we would definitely do this again!
We are members and love truly enjoy the wines and ambiance. We decided to try the private tasting on the sun deck with guests ($25/person). We had raved about this winery to these guests, but the experience immediately turned south when the presenter scolded us for arriving late (we missed the first pour) and we were chatty while she was finishing the first pour with our neighbor table.
It was the best wine my guests had ever had! Thank you!
We were seated in a comfortable and lovely area with a nice view. The wines were beautiful. Our hostess was informative and friendly.
I had out of town guests and I went in not knowing what to expect and we all loved it. What a lasting impression this was
We thought the experience was great! My wife and I have been Darcie Kent wine club members for around 5 years and really like your wines. We brought another couple with us. Although the Sun Deck flight tasting is primarily all red wines, my wife and the wife of the other couple like primarily white wines. When we mentioned this to our host (Greg), (continued below).
The atmosphere at DK is warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive and the wines are exceptional! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Our fav winery in the Livermore valley.
Great experience. Staff is very knowledgeable and welcoming!
