Dutton Estate Winery — Attraction in Forestville

Great wine and wonderful location. However their leadership and customer service is poor. We visited the winery for a barrel tasting event and ended up joining the club. We could envision coming back and enjoying the atmosphere and bring friends that would also join! The servers pouring the wine were energetic and fun! Unfortunately after we joined the manager on duty was very rude to our friends as well as her own employees. Actually made one server break down in front of the group.

Instead of addressing my concerns they dismissed my feedback entirely. I guess we dodged a bullet if this is typical of their service from the top down. Don't waste...

We picked some of our favorite wines like Thomas Road Pinot Noir and Kyndall’s Chard. The tasting room is always open and cozy, so much more local home feel. We are reminded by our laughs and cheer that we don’t...
