| A Local Gem for Wine Lovers! I cannot recommend this tasting room enough! Whether you're a serious connoisseur or just looking for a fun spot to hang out, this place hits all the marks. Impressive Selection: They have a fantastic range of wines. Their reds are bold and complex, the whites are crisp and refreshing, and they even have a great selection of sweet wines for those who prefer something a bit more dessert-oriented. Unbeatable Value: For the quality of the wine and the beauty of the space, the prices are incredibly reasonable. It's rare to find this level of sophistication without the "boutique" markup. read more

Stephen Hemmert Winery & Tasting Room - Rose of Cab - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Lancaster, California

Not only are the wines delicious - but my husband and I moved from California to Florida because of the military. We seemed to have forgotten to cancel our membership and had 9 bottles waiting for us in California. Stephen sent us our wines free of charge and they got to us in a week! Incredibly kind staff and owner and I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area :) read more

Walking into Stephen Hemmert's Winery felt like stepping into a place where time pauses just long enough for you to breathe, smile, and savor the moment. The experience was effortlessly welcoming -- the kind of hospitality that doesn't need to announce itself because you feel it the second you arrive. The wines carried a story in every sip: smooth, balanced, crafted with a care you can taste before you even set the glass down. Each pour unfolded like a little adventure -- bright notes, bold finishes, and a sense that someone poured their heart into every bottle. The staff? Absolutely wonderful. Knowledgeable without being pushy, warm without being scripted. They made the entire tasting feel personal, as if you were a longtime friend being invited to enjoy something special. The atmosphere was calm, charming, and full of that gentle magic wineries rarely capture so naturally. It's the kind of place you leave thinking, I'll be back -- and next time, I'm bringing friends. If you're looking for a winery where the experience matches the quality of the wine -- sincere, soulful, and downright enjoyable -- Stephen Hemmert's Winery is a must. read more

Stephen's wine is exceptional!! Service is great- treat you like friends as soon as you walk in the door.

Top notch hidden gem to a traveler! You could definitely tell there is a lot of local love for Stephen and his wife as many people knew each other to make this a neighborhood wine bar. Lots of lively conversation, good company, and love a bowl of pretzels while wine tasting. The little things The wine tastings here are $15 - a deal! Plus, the fact you can choose your five from their extensive list makes it more fun. Refreshing white wine, reds are also good. Not as bold as we tend to like, but all options were unique through the stories from Stephen (the winemaker) pouring and explaining where grapes came from, how the wines are made, etc. After our tastings, we bought a few bottles to continue enjoying at home. I say hidden gem because we almost missed it. Look for the parking spaces on the street as a marker. Our Uber driver missed it when going too fast. read more

Highly recommend this taste room as a stop on your wine tour. If you're lucky enough to have Vanessa pouring, then you will have fun and learn a lot. I went in with only a tasting planned, ended leaving with a bottle of the Merlot and Grenache Rose. You can't go wrong with any selection here and the owner and Vanessa will guide you through it. Probably my top pick for AV wineries. read more

Stumbled onto this place last weekend and am thrilled that I did. We tasted all of the reds and truly struggled to find which one we liked the best. Service matched the quality of the wine too. Holding a wine certification I can recommend this winery with great enthusiasm, looking forward to my next visit!! Thanks Stephen for your fabulous wines!! read more

Stephen Hemmert Winery & Tasting Room - Dreams really do come true - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Lancaster, California

I've been a wine club member for over a year and I don't know why it took me so long to write a review! My first experience with Stephen and Nicole was a wine tasting I attended with several of my friends. I was there because I loved the people I was with but I wasn't expecting to buy anything. I used to think I wasn't a wine person but now I think I just hadn't had the chance to experience it properly. I learned so much from them over the course of a couple of hours and found myself leaving with 3 bottles of wine!. They are both such wonderful people and their wines are so enjoyable! As a wine club member, I chose to get a mix of reds and whites every 3 months and I have not been disappointed at all with the selections they have chosen for me. They're always willing to answer questions about what foods will pair well with the new wines (which is super helpful for a beginner like me) and they always offer me the opportunity to sample the wines before taking them home. Overall, I couldn't ask for better service or atmosphere. I get an excellent product at a totally fair price and I always walk out happier than when I walked in! read more

See all

We did the groupon for wine tasting flights. Had a couple of good zinfandels, all locally grown. After the wine tasting we went back and got a tour of their production facility. We tasted different wines, and Stephen gave us a very in depth explanation, and Q&A on wine making. He is very knowledgable, and we had a great time. We were pretty buzzed by the time we left! Great service, great wine, wonderful experience. read more

Hubby and I have been here several times. Stephen and Nicole are very nice, and the wine is great! We have been to several functions, and they are always professional and make sure everyone is having a great time. They have wine tastings, grape stomps, live music, sip and paints, etc. Try this place, you won't be disappointed! read more

Went here with the ladies of my family from a groupon. The experience was great and we definitely left a little buzzed. I went wine tasting before but didn't learn as much about wines, the taste, and how each differs as I did here. Stephen and his wife made us feel as if we had been friends forever. Very nice couple who answered all our questions. Definitely recommend this winery. read more
