WINE TASTING

The Tasting Room

The Tasting Room at Stanford Hills Estate offers an inviting setting for wine tasting, beloved by both locals and visitors.

Explore the exceptional wines crafted at Stanford Hills Estate, where innovation meets tradition to create unforgettable flavors. Stanford, a relatively new wine production area, shows tremendous potential due to its proximity to the coast, which provides cool sea breezes during hotter months, allowing grapes to ripen optimally. Winemaker Peter Kastner believes that great wine starts in the vineyard, crediting the region’s excellent soil and climate for the quality of the Estate wines. All grapes are grown on the farm and handpicked to ensure the best quality for annual wine production.

Wine tasting is offered daily at The Tasting Room, where you can enjoy our wines alongside breakfast, platters, and a selection of lunch options that change daily. The somewhat rustic cellar, located in one half of an airplane hangar on the farm, embodies Peter’s philosophy of minimal interference during the winemaking process, allowing the grapes to express their individual identity.

Embark on a sensory journey through our curated selection of Stanford Hills wines. Each bottle is a testament to the passion and dedication that goes into crafting wines that reflect our estate’s unique terroir. Whether you prefer bold reds, crisp whites, or elegant rosés, there’s a wine to delight your palate at Stanford Hills Estate. Discover our featured Stanford Hill Wines.
