    Highly recommend the wine here! We have been members for a few years and it's always a highlight. Blackberry pie is a personal favorite! Great out door seating with views to go with your tasting. Had Jim as our pourer and can't wait to come back for more.

    Beautiful vineyard! Jim and Kelly were amazing. So worth stopping by if you are in Murphys and just a few minutes from the main strip. (Make sure to take a peek in the pond for a surprise). Great wine, great vibes! 10/10

    Such a beautiful and quiet vineyard!! Came here in our getaway vacation to Arnold and stopped here for a tasting. Their vermentino was amazingg! I highly recommend their port too, we ended up buying a bottle to take home. I loved the layout and small touches at this winery and will definitely visit again.

Both introduced us to their wine selection wow all really good. The BlackBerry Pie wine out of this world, members only sure enough we became members. Stop by say hello & experience this beautiful location.

    We had a fun afternoon at Indian Rock a few weeks back. We sat by the pond on a sunny day and enjoyed the tasting, watching the ducks and fishes. Tasting is 20$ pp and the pours were definitely on the smaller side compared to what I have experienced at other vineyards in Sonoma/Paso Robles but the wine was delicious. We weren't really briefed about where the wines we were sampling came from or their flavor profile, this was more of a casual setting. We ended up getting 4 bottles and decided to have a picnic in the garden under the trees in the property and had a bottle opened. Staff is friendly however do note that tastings are subject to a 1 hour limit and they did ask us to wrap up when it started getting busy even though we had purchased 4 bottles and wanted to enjoy it on the property.

    I showed up to Indian Rock mid-week in July 2022 during a heatwave. I was traveling solo and staying at an Airbnb in Arnold. There were no other patrons while I was there which was nice because my dog promptly plopped down under the misters on their amazingly cool patio and was content to sleep while I tasted. The winery is located east of Highway 4 in a country type neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Murphys. Great wines as well!

    Fun impromptu stop while we were in town for a concert. Very low-key, but fun staff and good local wines. Felt like the place to be!

    Are kids allowed? What days are they open?

    I visited this past Saturday and it was a warm sunny day and there were several families with kids there as the wine tasting was outdoors. The kids were having a great time.

    We discovered Locke a few years ago and now make it a point to visit every time we're in the area…read more First and foremost we love their wine! I say go for the wine but stay for the hospitality. Kirsten and her dad, Kevin, are incredibly kind and welcoming. They always remember us from previous visits and genuinely make us feel like valued guests. The property is beautiful, with comfortable spaces to enjoy your tasting, whether you choose the cozy barn or the outdoor patio. It's a relaxing place to stop while in Murphys. Their no outside food policy is clearly communicated, and it makes perfect sense to me. It's important to remember that this isn't a public park--it's a winery, and the purpose of your visit is to experience and enjoy their wines. If you get hungry while tasting, they offer a wonderful selection of cheeses, crackers, and other snacks available for purchase. I'd also add, respectfully, that in my opinion wineries generally aren't the best destination for an afternoon with young children. If you are tasting with kids I recommend going downtown which is 5 minutes away from Locke. When our kids were little, we loved visiting downtown Murphys because we could taste at the wineries along Main Street while taking turns with the kids at the public park just behind the tasting rooms. It was a great compromise that allowed everyone to enjoy the day while respecting the purpose and atmosphere of the wineries. One extra perk worth mentioning at Locke: if you become a wine club member, there's a separate area behind the tasting room where you're welcome to bring your own snacks. We enjoyed that this weekend, and it made an already wonderful experience even better. We always look forward to coming back and highly recommend a visit.

    **Updated response from owner Kirsten in photos. She sent it as a private message rather than post…read morepublicly, but I think her message speaks for itself .*** Unfortunately, Locke Winery was not a good experience for our family this time. This was incredibly disappointing because we had been the summer before and loved both their wines and their hospitality. We had even bought several bottles from them. This year we went with a group of 8 adults and 2 children and brought food with us for lunch. To be fair, they have a no outside food policy but we didn't realize that until we arrived. They only allow wine club members to bring in outside food. My husband asked if it was ok if our two kids even had a small snack because they were hungry, but the owner's daughter's response was "no, food is food." We went to eat sandwiches out in the parking lot before doing a tasting, which we were really looking forward to and had highly recommended it to our family. However, the owner's daughter came out and said, "Sir, I don't know what is going on here but I am not ok with this." We told her ok, that we'd leave but we were disappointed. She continued to say it's the state's rules and not her's. She then said it was her property and she could make the rules. She continued to lecture us until I let her know she had made herself clear and we had already told her we were leaving. The owner, her father, came out to try and talk to us but we were done at that point. We understand that they have the right to make their own rules, but the snippy approach is what completely turned us off. Locke just lost money on multiple tastings, purchases, and recommendations to others.
