Mill Creek Vineyards - The Mill Creek Tasting Room is located in the Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, just outside Healdsburg.

Mill Creek is open for tasting from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. Visit our Events page for a listing of upcoming events at our tasting room and nationwide.

The public area of Mill Creek Vineyards consist of the following: A tasting room / sales room, which is the familiar Mill Creek "Mill" building with the attached water wheel and adjacent mill pond. The lower picnic area which is an easily accessible area, located just behind the tasting room and adjacent to the millpond, equipped with glass-topped picnic tables sized for four, with shade umbrellas. The upper picnic area is a 3,000 square foot deck, which is equipped with 15, 6' redwood picnic tables with attached benches. This deck is located on the hillside above the tasting room and offers expansive views of the southern end of the Dry Creek Valley and the town of Healdsburg in the distance. Three local mountains and the mountain range on the eastern side of the Napa Valley are also to be enjoyed from this location. To reach this deck, a short hike is required up an easy hillside path. For those with disabilities, or those needing to deliver supplies to the deck, there is a dirt road to the site.

Customers are welcome to use either picnic area for personal picnicking. We do ask that you call and make arrangements in advance for groups larger than eight. This ensures that you will have a comfortable spot to picnic and that we will be adequately staffed. In accordance with county zoning, we do need to ask that no alcoholic beverages of any kind be brought in. Only wine purchased in our tasting room is permitted on our grounds.

Our picnic areas are available for private parties. We do not do weddings. We happily do wine related events when the purpose of the group is to learn more about wine, the wine industry, or Mill Creek Vineyards.

The tasting room itself is largely made from local redwood. A number of very large, impressive beams are made from one tree that originated on the Kreck family's home ranch. Photos highlight the milling of those beams.

Tours of the winery are available by appointment between May and November. Please email kim@millcreekwinery.com or call 707-431-2121 for more information.

Mill Creek Vineyards is a working farming operation and winery. As such there are certain inherent dangers to persons not trained for those jobs and we ask that customers stay within the greater tasting-room, picnic deck area unless escorted by winery personnel.

Merlot Madness at Mill Creek

In years past, Mill Creek Vineyards was perhaps better known for merlot than for any other wine it produced. We first began making merlot way back in 1976, long before most other California wineries and long, long before it became the “in” wine. Although no longer the only Mill Creek wine that consistently wins accolades, Mill Creek Merlot continues to impress wine competition judges, wine writers, visitors to our Tasting Room, and--most importantly--our loyal customers who know and love it.
