A friend and I wanted to come to Stone Tower for a nice day out, but were disappointed in many areas. We were excited by the view on our walk over to the tasting bar, but were immediately shut down. The moment we stepped up the to the bar, the worker had a strange energy to her, almost as if she didn’t want us there. I have no idea whether this is typical of her or if we weren’t being taken seriously due to our ages (we are 22 and 23, but are frequent bar and brewery customers, as well as good tippers!). We were not really greeted, so much as asked what we were doing looking at the menu. For context, we had just stepped up to the bar and barely had any time to look at anything! Her attitude felt impatient and we felt pressured to choose something. Having experienced tastings that are more similar to flights at other places, we decided to try that. This is not the case at Stone Tower. Again, the worker appeared annoyed at us and informed us that we were in the wrong place (at the front of the bar instead of the side) and that we needed to move over. She was not excited or enthusiastic about our interest in the—frankly expensive—tasting. Another group appeared behind us as we were moving over, a group of 4 people. The worker basically sighed, and without asking my friend and I, added the 4 people to our tasting. To make matters worse, the worker poured my friend and I less than the other group, only attended to them and rarely spoke to us about the wine process (which we paid to hear!). It made us upset because we were interested and wanted to know about the wine just as much as the other people. We paid exactly the same amount as them and did not receive the same attention or service. Big shame, because the Pinot Noir was absolutely fantastic. We were not the only people that this worker was rude to. There was a gentleman who nicely attempted to order food at the bar and was instantly made to feel horrific for it. She dismissively informed him that he could not order food at the bar, her tone implying he was stupid for thinking he could. Aside from our disappointing tasting, the winery was packed with children. I am an educator, I have no problem with well-behaved children in public spaces. Stone Tower appeared to have little to no control over the masses of unattended children. They climbed trees shirtless, played ball games on the lawn (which, according to Stone Tower’s website, is not permitted), got in our faces and messed with our chairs, took cushions off and moved surrounding seats, and were overall left to run amuck. All while the adults sat and drank. There was one worker with longer blond hair who we spoke to. He seemed to share the same sentiment as my friend and I, but didn’t have the ability to enforce anything or chose not to. Completely disappointed with the entire experience and will not be returning.
