granite creek vineyards

Loved this vineyard, great romantic place to take the wife. We had a great weekend in chino valley. Really like the people there. Loved he food and great music. Wished they stayed open later and had a dinner available. Chino needs a few more restaurants but this was a highlight of our trip.

What a nice place to spend a relaxing afternoon. I am so happy my wife and I came across this vineyard. The people are wonderful, the wine spectacular, and the food and music are great. Highly recommended

We came in on New Year's day because it was my birthday and one of the only places open for wine tasting. We got great reviews from locals, and they were right about this place! We did a tasting and then bought a cheese plate and a bottle. Our favorite was the "adult grape juice" which was a wine made out of their own grown concord grapes. It tasted like a sparkling, spiked Welche's grape juice!! We though it was fun, unique, and quite tasty so we got a bottle. Unfortunately, that's one of the only wines you can't carry out so drink it in the winery when you can!We were the only ones there with the tasting room manager, so we had a lot of interesting conversations with her and ended up staying several hours. It was snowy so there were no peacocks or catered lunch or music (which we hear this place is famous for) but we still enjoyed the wine, cheeses, and company of the manager very much. We will surely come back this summer when the music and peacocks come out!

My family and I were at Granite Creek Vineyards for a wedding at the start of October, it was simply magical. The vineyard is picturesque and quaint. There was a small barn where the dance floor was set up as well as a lush grassy area for the wedding ceremony. Their were even a few peacocks wandering around the premises! They had wine(of course!) which was very nice. Overall a wonderful wedding and lovely venue!

My wife and I have chosen to celebrate our last 3 wedding anniversaries at Granite Creek Vineyards, though not always on the anniversary date because we want to go on a Saturday, when they have live music. Though the grounds are not large, they have a number of tables underneath the trees near where the band performs, and usually peacocks can be seen walking around among the guests. We do a wine tasting to sample the new wines available, and usually buy a bottle for which we pay $20 to $30 for a bottle of wine which we know, from the tasting, will be very good and we drink for special occasions. On all 3 of our visits, the entertainment has been absolutely outstanding if you love foot tapping blues music (Shri Blues Band and the Sir Harrison Band for example). No outside food or drink allowed, as they are promoting their own beverages, and have an on-site catering venue through Block Six Catering, with meals at about $10-15 a plate. Though we normally drink cheap wine, (ie. $10 per bottle), we joined their "Case Club" because after buying one case, you are entitled to free tastings, admission to special events, discount on wine purchases, and the option of buying wines that are only reserved for members. I liked there reserve Cabernet so much I bought 4 bottles at $48 per bottle to drink on only on special occasions.

Been there four times over the last several years with the hopes of an eventual good bottle of an wine. Apparently it's not going to happen. Breaks my heart because it's such a beautiful setting.

Who knew that in our little town there would be such a great vineyard/winery?!!! Nice selection of wines - their own and other Arizona wines only - and unpretentious tasting. Take a picnic or buy one there and enjoy the beautiful grounds...and the peacocks! Wines for every taste and very nice people. Great setting for weddings too. Many times they have musicians on the weekends so a great place to happily "waste" a few hours.

My wife and I have been to a number of wineries throughout the world and I have to tell you honestly - on the weekends, with the live music, the wonderful atmosphere, and the extremely helpful and friendly people who own and run this winery, we have visited none better. If you are in the area and looking for something to do, I highly recommend this winery. You will not be sorry. Oh, and the wine is wonderful as well. We love the Chardonnay as it is lighter and better than any we have ever tasted.

We were looking for someplace for the family to hang out in the afternoon after graduation and we found this Gem. Very cool setting outside with tables and chairs. We had wine, cheeses, crackers, olives and grapes. While we visited, music played from a one man band and Peacocks and Peahens walked around begging food. To top off our relaxing afternoon, we witnessed a wedding. What a great place to have a wedding, green and shady, Especially in an area that is dirt, sand and brown, So if you get the chance to hang out, go by and see Jenna, she was wonderful.

Relax outside w/the beautiful weather enjoying the beauty of the vineyards with a glass of wine.Very shady w/huge trees to sit under.

The cuvee red blend was very nice, we did the tasting, then had their cheese and fruit platter with a glass of cuvee, and then bought a bottle of cuvee. The only thing preventing me from giving a five were the small serving sample sizes and the high wine prices

We had our grandma's 90th birthday celebration here and the people there did a wonderful job of setting everything up! It was the perfect setting with the perfect weather! It only made sense for the birthday to be here as Grandma has to have her cup of wine with her dinner meal everyday. A terrific jazz band was playing while you could do some wine tasting on the side. The kids had fun watching the peacocks that were roaming the grounds. Overall, everyone had a great time!

We have been to the winery twice and each time it was a truly incredible experience. The folks there are great, friendly, and eager to please, and the setting is wonderful. On many weekends they have live music and do a super job of rotating the type/style of music to fit all sorts of interests. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a special afternoon at a great winery here in AZ. Oh, and did I mention the wines are great too. We are a case club member a few times over at this point and love all of our selections.

Worth going out of the way for. Nestled in their vineyards, Granite Creek provides an idyllic setting and ambiance to enjoy their productions while enjoying music on Saturday afternoons. This was our first time here. There was a loyal following but still room for those finding a new discovery. And, oh, the wines . . . you'll come back for more. The best red, in my book, was their "Red Barn Red." Don't come in a rush, plan to spend a few pleasant hours.

Returned to the winery last weekend with two other couples. Lots of fun!!!! The music was great. The wines are good for Arizona. The service was excellent and the caterer, that is there permanently, was terrific. Outside venue in the shade of the trees and surrounded by historic bldgs and beautiful peacocks waling about. It was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon and we will return.
