This is a medium sized winery that had really good zinfandel. The host really made the experience great. The winery was very busy when we came, and he made room for us on the end of the bar and really spent time educating us, as wine neophytes. What a great experience. It is also a great place to have lunch.... More

This winery is one of the slightly smaller and less commercial wineries. It is in a lovely position and has a very nice picnic area out back, so it is a good place to go for a tasting around lunchtime to complement a nice picnic lunch.

This is a wonderful winery... a spectacular setting, delicious wines and friendly and knowledgeable people. I visit DC often and it is a fantastic place for a wine country picnic. The tasting room is warm and inviting. Love the Maple Zin and the Stuhlmuller Chardonnay the most. The view is stunning, especially in October and November.

This is a wonderful winery. On the north end of Dry Creek Road. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The wines, excellent! They have a wonderful area for picnics with a fantastic view. Worth a visit. We have been many times and will return.

We have visited Dutcher Crossing in the past and had a good experience, so we took some friends who are new to Dry Creek Valley to the winery. What a disappointment! The associate in the tasting room was not very knowledgeable about the wine. She rushed us through the tasting and poured so quickly that there was no time to... More

After researching and reading Trip Advisor Reviews, we added Dutcher's Crossing Winery to our recent Wine Country itinerary. The setting is beautiful, with attractive buildings, a great picnic area, and a "postcard perfect" view of the vineyards and hills. Tasting fees were a very reasonable $5 (non-wine club), and you do not need an appointment. The tasting room is attractive,... More

It was such a pleasure and pure serendipity to find Dutchers Crossing, one of many on this beautiful road just off Highway 101. The view from the picnic area is one of the best we have experienced, and the laid-back but confident manner of Ryan and the rest of the staff made it enjoyable to decide which and how much... More

Excellent wines tasted for only $5 per person. Lovely location with great views and a very nice tasting room. The lady who hosted our tasting was very good, helpful in answering our questions and we did not feel pushed to buy wines, but we did as they were so good! This experience was better than expected.
