We received a VIP tour and tasting of this beautiful winery and loved EVERY minute of it. The knowledge and friendliness of the staff was great. As a amateur wine drinker I knew very little, but after the tour I had a much greater appreciation for the work and products themselves. Chateau Chantal is beautiful and the wines were great,...

Nice property with nice views. Rooms available, but as didn't stay there, can't comment on them. Nice wine tasting program, but found the ones I tasted to be so-so. More

Prettiest winery on the penninsula, but I've found others in the region I like better. Their tasting room and parking lot also seems to be always crowded on the weekends. More

Visited Chateau Chantal with a group of ladies. Ample seating outside, so we were able to take advantage of the beautiful weather and views of the bays. We didn't do a tour or tasting, just ordered some glasses and some snacks. I was underwhelmed by the wine. I had a glass of the pinot noir (do not recommend) and also... More

Chateau Chantal is a must do if you are on Old Mission Pennisula. Scenery and sunsets are beautiful. Take a morning tour with the charasmatic owner or a winery tour with a very informative and entertaining Bill. You are treated like part of the family. The breakfast was always scrumptious, as is the wine! More

Felt like cattle herded in the tasting room. Difficult to get the attention of the servers; ours lacked sufficient knowledge about what she was serving. More

The first time we visited was on our Honeymoon. The owner was working and was VERY helpful. He explained to us how most tastings worked and that it was ok to not drink the whole sample if you don't like it. He made our first tasting experience fun and informative. More

The tasting room is large and the wine list is extensive. My boyfriend and I enjoyed a glass of wine on the beautiful deck overlooking the lake. Great view and super romantic! Excellent tasting wines and we would love to return! More

This was our second stop for tasting. It felt much more commercial than any other stop on our trip. It is still a very nice place with great wine, but it was my least favorite place to visit. The tasting cost depends on the wines and is either 50 cents or $1 per taste. Mixed feelings about the staff. The... More
