Truckee River Winery — Attraction in Truckee

Visited Teuckee River Winery for my friend's birthday celebration because it had great reviews on Google. However, our experience was anything but great. Our host, gentleman with the glasses (forgot the name), was not very friendly, welcoming or helpful. The entire experience felt rushed and left a bad taste.

When asked about wine recommendations, our host said "the one in my glass" and proceeds to not explain anything. Every conversation and encounter was like talking to a robot reading from a script because it was rehearsed.

At one point, the host accidentally gave us the wrong wine in our tasting glass. The host notices and says that he will get the right one. For us, not wanting to waste wine and experience a different wine from their menu was a treat. So, we did what anyone would do, drink the mistaken wine. Our host comes back with the correct wine, abruptly grabs the wine glass with the incorrect wine, and proceeds to throw it to the bush without asking if we are drinking it.

The only save and grace for this place was the great weather, corn hole, and the autumn leaves.

I would not recommend this place if you are looking for a unique experience with great customer service.

Edit: October 2024 Katy was able to give us a birthday discount to help with the experience. Changed from 2...

Great assortment of craft and local beers, artisan cheese plates & paninis to go with the most important part - the wine! The boutique style, small production wines are made in Truckee with grapes sourced from well known regions such as Santa Lucia Highlands, Chalk Hill and Lodi.

Definitely a must while...
