I had such a great experience doing wine tasting here! The gentleman who served us was friendly and shared great knowledge about the wine making process. My friend and I did the white & red flights for a very reasonable price. The pour size was good and I enjoyed the taste of the white wines the most. We sat outside, soaking in the beautiful weather and pretty scenery. The bathrooms were also very clean. Looking forward to coming back again!

Found this place a couple of weeks ago and have already been back a second time. It’s small, family-owned and they grow their grapes the old-school way. The vibe is super laid-back, definitely not a commercialized tasting room. Yeah, the service might be a bit slow, but that’s kind of the point. You’re meant to slow down, relax, and enjoy the wine. If you're looking for something authentic and unpretentious, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

Small and local owned. The owner was very informative about his wines. We tried the red collection which was 6 wines and they were all delicious. Dog friendly and perfect way to spend a few hours in your day

Decided to do some wine tasting since we were in the area. Reviewing wineries can be a little tricky as taste is very subjective. My rating is based on the experience.

First, our host, I believe her name was Barbara did a great job despite being the only person there. I hope the owner takes note, as having one person try to do everything with more than 20 guest is just being set up for failure. As such, the following review is in no way a reflection of her performance as she did extremely well given the impossible demands.

Because there was only one person if you wanted to taste a flight of wines you had to sit inside vs other shaded seating outside, which with such a beautiful day would have elevated the experience.

Again because there was only one person we were asked to all do the same tasting vs each person being able to choose their preference. Since our host was alone we obliged with the request which again took away from the overall experience.

We also opted to have a cheese board with our wine. It was ok but did not justify the price. The boards are made ahead of time and wrapped in plastic. This resulted in about half the crackers being soft. The cheeses were tasty. We could have used plates and utensils.

Being from wine country in California it is a fairly standard practice that parties of 8 or more require advance notice/reservation. So when a party of 8 showed up, they were turned away. For someone who has done a lot of wine tasting this is common knowledge. However, their website makes no mention of need for reservation. For most people they would be unaware and I can only imagine they left disappointed.

Lastly, when we went to pay they were unable to split the check 50/50 so the cheese board had to be put on one bill. Not a huge deal but given it is 2021 this should be no problem to accommodate. Just one more thing to take away from the experience.

It's been over 5 years since our last visit. We took a friend and enjoyed a bottle of white with a cheese board (good, but pricey) sitting outside on a very hot day. George visited with us and provided interesting context for the vineyard and how things are done. Nothing fancy, rustic even. Worth a visit.

I recently visited with my friends and it was our first time at Clear Creek Vineyards. Ignacio greeted us at our table and shared about the winery. We were served a beautiful charcuterie board along with a tasting of 8 wines. All were wonderful. The setting is beautiful and just a quick drive from Phoenix. We'll be back!

Well worth a stop during a trip to Camp Verde. The wines were great and the owner shared a lot of history about the winery and area. It was interesting to learn how the water quality has an affect on wine production and the growing of the grapes. One of the best wineries around the Sedona area. The white wines especially were really good! Recommend adding this to the ""must do" list during a trip into the Sedona area!!
