Dark Star makes small lots of premium, hand-crafted wines, including traditional Bordeaux and Rhône styles, creative California blends, and some things not everyone has: Montepulciano, Tempranillo, Viognier, Roussanne, Rosé of Grenache and a Port. Our Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are definitely worth the trip. Our menu presently includes about twenty different varietals and blends.
Drop by and visit our spacious indoor tasting room and outdoor patio, both with comfortable seating. Bring your own picnic and enjoy wine by the glass, or Dark Star snacks if it is your lucky day.
Dark Star is pet and family friendly. Check out our observation beehive, ax throwing pitch, free-range chickens and winery cats. Taste eight-ish wines for a fifteen-dollar tasting fee, waived with a bottle purchase. Check the darkstarcellars.com "events" page for our regular music events and parties.
Chill out at Dark Star's Happy Hour, Burger, Karaoke and Open Mic Night, Fridays at 4:00 to 8:00 pm. Wine by the glass special $8.00. Cook-your-own burger kits $10, Blackstone and gas barbecue available.
DetailsCome just before 2:00 and join our winemaker for a tour and barrel tasting. We will take a short stroll through the vineyard to see how the vines are doing, and make a stop at the crush pad to inspect the equipment. From there, we will proceed to the winery, where we will sample from barrels and see if we can distinguish between different oak treatments. After you have astonished me with your discerning taste, we will retire to the bar for a standard tasting, where you may select eight additional samples from our extensive list.
