My husband and I did a walk in tasting. We are from out of state so we are not part of the wine club.The service was quick and friendly. They were having a sale on select bottles if you purchased four bottles. The tasting included bottles that were part of the sale so you knew what you were getting. Not only that they wave the tasting fee if you purchase a bottle! We will definitely go back if we are in the area again.
My husband and I are wine club members at Stephen and Walker and have always had a great experience when visiting the tasting room. When we arrived yesterday (6/25), the bar was empty except for 3 people sitting at the far end (see picture). We started to sit at the other end of the empty bar and the woman working behind the bar ran over to us and said that we could not sit at the bar and to sit anywhere else. We were taken aback by her bizarre behavior but knew why she banned us from the bar. We sat at a table and were helped by a young lady who was very pleasant and helpful. About 30 minutes in, a woman walked in and sat at the bar. The woman behind the bar (learned her name was Debra Chambers), greeted her and asked if she was there for a tasting. The women said she was picking up her wine shipment. Debra asked if she wanted a splash of anything and proceeded to pour wines for her while my husband and I looked on in astonishment. We were there over an hour and that woman was the only person who sat at the bar. We were bothered by the experience and tried not to let it damper our tasting. While the young lady was gathering our wine shipment, Debra called over to us saying, I didn’t know you were wine club members, you are sitting so far away……???? I responded that she never asked if we were members or even greeted us, instead, you banned us from the bar. No response received. Debra Chambers seems to have a desired group of people she prefers to serve. Clearly, we were not part of that group.
Since 2015, when I first tried it, this has been my favorite wine of all the wine (and I've tried quite a few). If you're ever in Healdsburg and want an amazing experience that makes you compare all wine experiences with the very best, please visit Stephen and Walker. Tell Debra Chambers I said Hi. She is the most wonderful. ❤️❤️❤️
Great atmosphereFantastic knowledgeable staff. Great winesEnjoyed so much we joined their wine club. Highly recommend going there.
Fantastic wine and wine tasting guide. Would highly recommend a stop.
Awesome … love this artisanal winery! Debra is phenomenal!!!
Great wines, interesting cheese plate and our host was superb!
Good Place. Great customer service. Even better wine.
Skip this place, wines are just ok. Host was snobby, slow and rude. The best part was the cheese. We wouldn’t come back.
These people are more than accommodating. First time in town years ago, saw store front and it was closing time but they opened up for us for wine tasting. What gracious hosts!The wine is exquisite & always to be savored from all their selections. Not only a great find in Sonoma but always feeling welcomed there.
