Our trip was a short visit and us not being huge drinkers, we didn’t want to spend an entire afternoon or day at a winery. Some of our hotel staff recommended the Williamson wine club of which they were members. I made the reservation on Yelp for the 90-minute food AND wine tasting with a time slot available at Noon following day. Williamson thoughtfully called us ahead of time to inquire whether we had any allergies and to verify we knew the address of tasting.
They served us 4 small plates each perfectly paired with 4 different wines. Started with a shrimp taco, followed by a beet salad with truffle salt, then risotto with meat, finishing with a chocolate mousse. With each plate the server would first pour some wine for us to taste, pour some more, then bring out the dish and pour more (our glasses were never empty for long and we were given very generous amounts). She thoroughly explained how each wine was as made, the spices used in the food, advised how to use the wines to enhance the food, and answered questions knowledgeably. Bonus - the recipes can be found on their website!
The wines we tasted were reasonably priced ($30-$50) to purchase a bottle. Great place if looking to have special experience for a light lunch. It is NOT a restaurant so reservations are recommended as we did see a couple people turned away. Understandable as the servers are so knowledgeable and attentive, a restaurant could not do this experience.
If have the chance, we will do again!
