Looooove this spot! You can tell the staff is passionate about the wine, which makes it taste even better. They help you understand how the grapes are harvested, all the tasting notes, and offer fun facts when you're sitting at the bar. Such a fun tasting experience! They even comped our tasting with the purchase of two bottles of wine (we couldn't turn down this offer). We particularly loved their reds! Bright and airy space to visit solo, on a date, or with a big group. read more

This was suppose to be our first stop but they weren't open on time ?? We came back by a few hours later. The wife liked the wines. The service could have been better. Our male server was overly attentive to three young pretty girls. It was a nice place with a back room for large parties. read more

An enjoyable visit on the Scottsdale Wine Trail! The tasting room here is nicely set up with plenty of seats and high tops. The hosts here were very patient taking us through a brief tasting after which we relaxed and enjoyed a couple glasses. I enjoyed their whites, especially the dry Riesling. Often rieslings made in the US are too sweet for my tastes, even if they call themselves "dry." Theirs was very refreshing and had a sophisticated taste. We're glad that this tasting room is here, saving us a trip to Willcox! read more

Carlson Creek Vineyard - Good wine, amazing staff! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Carlson Creek Vineyard is such a great experience every time. They have a huge selection of wines, and even though I'm not a member, they always treat me so well when I go with my friend who is. I really appreciate that they let you sample wines, especially since I don't love every type of wine. The staff is very knowledgeable and genuinely helpful in guiding you toward wines that actually fit your taste. It's relaxed, welcoming, and a perfect spot to enjoy good wine and good company. read more

This was our last stop on the wine trail bc we were getting hungry. This one was a bit more popping than the others. A bachelorette party even popped in and bought a round for the house, #thankyou. Here's what we got Carlson Creek - Rule of Three - Malbec Rose - Dry Riesling - Mourvedre Can't go wrong with wine flights. read more

Fun find! If you're feeling like wine tasting in the desert and walking around near shops and the mall- Carlson Creek is the place. Mark is amazing. He made our experience with wine that much better.

This is a masterclass in hospitality where the dim, amber-hued atmosphere and surgically curated wine flights create a sensory journey unlike any other. The staff treats viticulture like a sacred calling, pairing rare vintages with artisanal small bites that elevate the entire experience to a choreographed performance for the palate. It is a flawless 5-star sanctuary that manages to feel both undeniably elite and genuinely soul-warming. Marcus was phenomenal! Come here asap. read more

It was so fine to wine taste here! Prices are soo incredibly reasonable, the wines are good, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly! I loved the space as well not too large that it's chaotic but not too small of a space that you feel crammed in. read more

A very laid back and intimate wine tasting spot. There were a handful people there while we visited, yet it was still a really nice and relaxed environment and it was pretty quiet. The staff were very kind and knowledgeable and did a great job picking out wines based on one's taste preferences. The decor was cute and had a rustic style. There were a variety of seating options and different rooms to choose from. A lovely place to swing by for wine tasting! read more

We really enjoyed our time here tasting. Our server was attentive and had a wonderful personality. Certainly, made us feel at home. As locals, we have been searching for a wine room in the area to join to share with our friends and family.

Service not good unless at the bar. Quite disappointed as the only option was a table and the two working were more interested in bar patrons. read more

My favorite tasting room in old town. It's simple and laid back. No snooty servers or hostesses. The guys behind the bar always have the technical details on the wines, and are willing to give you their opinions when asked. There's enough space for bigger groups, or if you're on your own the bar always seems to have a seat available. read more

One of the best AZ wines! Always a pleasure coming here, staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and all around great to visit with! Highly recommended! read more

We went to Carlson Creek on our bachelorette weekend. They accommodated our party of 9 right away, and the service was great! Marcus was attentive, knowledgeable, and so much fun! He listened to our preferences and brought us some amazing tastings. I would highly recommend this little tasting room. The room itself is bright and welcoming. The service was exceptional. The red wines were delicious! read more

Such a fun weekend plan. $5 wines for $18 (it says $15 online so they need to fix that). They take reservations but we didn't even need one. Our server Zach was sweet and worked hard. I definitely reccomend for a fun girls day! read more

5 of us came in and only 3 of us did $12 tasting of 5 wines. They also have soda. We only did the reservation 5 minutes prior but it was fine. The server used the same glass for each wine. There's about 5 whites and 5 reds so if you only like 1 style of wine this might not be for you. Most of them were slightly drier. The staff member wore a Bear's jersey and cargo shorts which juxtaposed the decor but able to list all of the ingredients or flavors for each wine. read more

Stopped by for a tasting. Great price for $12 but you get what you pay for. The server used the same glass for each wine ... looked like they were doing that for everyone. We also had the cheese board which was good. Servers seemed knowledgeable but every person was kinda getting the same conversation so I'm not sure if its a scripted thing or not (didn't bother me much). Again you get what you pay for if you're not a wine snob its a great place to check out for the price for dates etc but I wouldn't call it a real "tasting" read more

If you know me you know I'm a wine lover and spend a lot of time in wineries. While in Scottsdale we were referred to Carlson Creek Winery by a AZ local Yelp friend Christa L. We were pleasantly greeted By Ms Wendy. We learned about the AZ grapes and the Wilcox Wine Country area just outside of Tucson. Wilcox area is where thier grapes mostly come from. They have a vineyard and tasting room there. The elevation if memory serves me is just under 2000 feet. Much cooler there than the desert floor and conducive for good grape growth. We will be making a road trip out there soon. The tasting room in Scottsdale is very nicely decorated with wine art and overstuffed couches and a nice wine bar. Great atmosphere here! The wines are fabulous and coming from me a wine snob it's good information.....lol. but pallets are like noses aren't they everybody has one. But no kidding the wines are deserving of your time for sure. We loved the Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and Sangiovese. We bought bottles of all three! Cheers! read more

Wherever we go we always seek out wine tasting. Carlson Creek's tasting room was one recommended by our Arizona Yelp friend, Christa L. It pays to have local Yelp friends who are in the know, like Christa, because Carlson Creek was a great recommendation! Wendy, our server, was very knowledgeable and helpful. I really appreciated her help keeping track of which wines I liked, which can be a real challenge after having a few tastings (hum, did I like the 2013 or 2014 better, that kind of help). I was very impressed with everything I tasted of both whites and reds. The vineyards are located in Wilcox Wine Country, which is southeast of Scottsdale and where the elevations is higher and climate is cooler. I didn't realize there were so many vineyards in Arizona. The tasting room is a cool and comfortable place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. We bought a few bottles to take home. Thank you Christa for the recommendation! read more

Carlson Creek is a nice tasting room featuring some good Arizona wines. All of the wines are estate. The serving staff is friendly. Prices are very reasonable. I like that the tasting fee is waived with a two bottle purchase. They also have a lot of half bottles available. They take COVID precautions seriously which I appreciate. read more

Zak was our server and he was great at giving the description of the wines. A little slow in service as he was the only one working and it was a Friday afternoon on a beautiful day. All in all....nice place. read more

I really liked it here! We got lucky and it wasn't crowded at all, I forgot the lady who was working there, but she made great recommendations on what to try and even changed the music for our preferences. She even let us revisit a 6th tasting to decide what bottle to buy! We got to take our glasses home which was a cool unexpected plus. The bottles were a bit expensive, but I think for this area it's normal. read more

Cheers Last Thursday was full of delight. I enjoyed great conversation, wine complimented by a charcuterie board @carlsoncreek This is a family owned business located in Scottsdale AZ. Great location to start a girls night or date night. Sam and John were awesome hosts. John's knowledge regarding wines was impeccable. During my visit, there wasn't a crowd. I would still recommend a reservation. The .... was not bad. Surprisingly, my favorite was the 2018 Mourvèdre. This wine had many levels. I would return for the great customer service. Definitely explore the area for dinner options after wine tasting. I decided to wear a casual matching outfit from @hm complimented by designer accessories. My shoes are @francosarto This outfit was the perfect 'get up and go out' due to the nature of the placement. The color is neutral yet chic. The fit is flattering to any frame. I would recommend dressing casual-chic to this location. So what's your go to wine?

There were about 20 women in two groups today. Kinda loud. Kinda henhousy. Andrew our wine professional made everything great. The wine wasn't with my taste but I'm more semi-sweet / sweet. The 2017 Malbec is pretty good. Everyone has a different preference. I'll go again Update. I went again. Disneyland is no longer the happiest place on earth. Carlson Creek now holds the title. read more

Great tasting room. The wines are very good but the service was over the top. Meagan's service and knowledge made the experience special. Very comfortable venue. We had the cheese plate. Perfect compliment to the wines and reasonably priced at 10$. The truffles were also a good pairing and they were only 10$ also. Babalones said the truffles and breast milk were an excellent pairing. read more

A hidden gem in the art district of old town Scottsdale, Carlson creek vineyard is a fantastic hang out spot. You're able to order a glass of wine or sample. I had the 2015 rule of 3. Oh my! Super cool inside, a perfect spot for a date. Now I need to find one to bring here. read more

It was me and my lady's first wine tasting and Zack was extremely helpful and friendly. He was very knowledgeable of the wine and even gave us recommendations based on our own personal preferences and his own. The hospitality was amazing along with the scenery, the place was a vibe and I definitely recommend trying this place especially if you love wine. read more

The server was great and very knowledgeable. The ambiance was just ok. I would have preferred an outdoor seating option, but we sat by the window. I imagine the space gets very loud if there's many people with how small it is. I think the value of $18 for 5 wines with generous pours was worth it, although I would say I only liked 2 of the 5 I chose. Overall would not return but was a decent spot depending on what you're looking for. read more

Such a fun spot in Old Town Scottsdale, a fun vibe with an essence of a classy wine bar, I didn't want to leave! This place is perfect for date night, girls night, or private events in their back hall- the staff is super fun and helpful, they even have a sommelier which is an added bonus- I'm clueless! 10/10 would get wine drunk here again read more

Vino! How could you go wrong? My family and I came here while out of town family was here. The space is a bit small, but it's nice. Almost all of us did the wine flight, which was great! My pours were smaller than my husband and sisters, which was a bit odd. The space was clean and the person helping us was nice enough. I love the open space of the tasting room. Would come back if we were in the area! read more

After suggesting Carlson Creek to an out of town friend, I realized that I have not reviewed this Scottsdale location. I had only reviewed the Willcox tasting room. The wines are always good at Carlson Creek. And while we like others in the area as well, Carlson Creek tends to have a larger variety, meaning something for all tastes, and they have also been consistently good, while other local wines can be hit or miss depending on the year. As for the Scottsdale location, it's a great place to stop in and get out of the heat while enjoying something like their delicious Chenin Blanc. And what Lucy is to the Willcox location, Wendy is to Scottsdale. Great staff, great wine, and great atmosphere. Check them out! read more

Have not had a wine that I didn't like. The service is top notch, Marcus, Zach, and Taylor are always friendly and knowledgeable. The tasting room is always relaxing and comfortable. I have been a club member for two years. read more
