10/10 wine tasting + chocolate pairing. I highly recommend stopping by to try it. My favorite was the pistachio truffle. read more

Three Wine Company - Wine and chocolate pairing - Wineries Near Me - Clarksburg, California

September 7, 2024 There are 14 tasting rooms in the Old Sugar Mill, so it can be difficult to make a decision as to which one(s) to try. We liked the look of the tasting room for Three Wine Company, and the tasting fee price and menu, so we walked in and sat down at the counter. We were immediately greeted by a friendly server. The tasting fee was 4 wines for $15, so we scanned the 9 wines on the tasting menu to make our selections. My husband and I chose different wines and shared our tastes with each other, so we were each able to have a small taste of many of the wines. As we tasted, we chatted with the server (Adam), and upon hearing what we liked in white wine, he let us try a Chenin blanc that was not on the menu. It ended up being our favorite, and we took two bottles home. The tasting room is comfortable, with hooks at the counter for handbags (always appreciated). One tasting fee is waived with each bottle of wine purchased, which sets this tasting room above many others in our recent visits to other wine tasting venues. read more

My partner and I visited Three Wine Company for a tasting on a recent Saturday afternoon. Initially, we were told that tastings would be complimentary with the purchase of a bottle of wine. Based on that, we opted for a tasting that included a chocolate pairing, expecting the same arrangement. Unfortunately, at the end of our visit, we were charged not only for the bottle but also for the pairings. When we inquired, the sommelier rather smugly informed us that the chocolate pairing was never part of the complimentary tasting deal. He mentioned that the cost of the chocolates couldn't be waived and seemed almost annoyed that we asked. There was no prior clarification and no attempt to resolve the confusion--just a sense that we should have known better. In short, we left feeling pretty disappointed. A little more transparency and a friendlier approach would have gone a long way. read more

We've been wine club members for well over 10 years so this review is somewhat biased. The wines are wonderful whether you're sipping alone in front of a warm fireplace, at a party, or with a meal. My particular favorites are the Old Vine Zinfandel or their 1885 Red Blend. They have an excellent selection of reds and whites to suit a variety of palates. Absolutely everyone who works at Three is welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. Three is located inside The Old Sugar Mill where there are 12 other tasting rooms, as well our favorite, Three Winery. Check out Three Winery, you will enjoy yourself and taste some yummy varietals and blends. read more

Been going to Three for close to two years now. We are members of a few wineries at The Sugar Mill and Three never disappoints. Our most recent trip was with a party of eleven. I felt bad because our reservation was for only six, but a lot of people wanted to go tasting with us, so I figured the least we could do was ask if they could accommodate us. They were beyond helpful and understanding. They took us all in and ensured everyone had a great time. Many of our guests were first time tasters, and they happily answered all questions, and even helped everyone with some picture taking. Thank-you again Three Wine Company. Can't wait to see you again! read more

One Of The Friendliest Family-Operated Wineries You'll Find Anywhere! SITREP I have been spending some Holiday Weekends down in the Clarksburg area, and so have managed to carve out a few afternoon treks over to The Old Sugar Mill ("The Mill"), where Three Wine Company ("Three Wine") is located. THE SETUP The Mill is probably one of the most dynamic uses of old space I've seen in a long time: the approximate century old mill factory buildings & grounds all over the compound have been refurbished beautifully so that they now house & support about a dozen(?) or so winery tenants, and all the support staff for The Mill's compound. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/three-wine-company-clarksburg?select=XtGgfNZRSn1Nh8SgidLZMA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w This is where you will find Three Wine, in the main building right after entering the main entrance. It's an absolutely beautiful set-up, and I had such a kick chatting it up with the Grandmother-Grandson team who were being wine co-stewards this day! [Guys should be SO LUCKY to have an active nana that they can hang out and be in business with!] https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/three-wine-company-clarksburg?select=b2lR88UCLc6Lf89AcOp-2w&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE WINES Three Wine's wines (say that 10 times real fast!) are delicious varietals, at very accessible price points. Whether Reds or Whites, I believe anyone will find at least one wine they like. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/three-wine-company-clarksburg?select=Pbk-_errQoa_cijSEWuHIQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w *REDS - I'm not a huge fan of reds, but I still appreciate a good varietal - I found that in BOTH their 2014 Zinfandel Old Vine and their 2014 Field Blend Old Vine - both were full-bodied (the Zin more so, the Field Blend more "refreshing") - both only $22 per bottle. *WHITES & DESSERTS - this is what I like most, the sweeter the wine, the better [if I'm going for a more "full-bodied" taste-experience, I prefer to just transition out to Bourbon whiskeys and Stout brews, and get out of wines altogether by this point.] HUGE props to Three Miles': = Mendocino County Sparking Wine, = 2016 Escapade; and especially their, = S3X Riesling! Oh my GAWD! WINE CLUB! Whether here at Old Sugar Mill - or wineries elsewhere - I have a problem when Wine Clubs become an excuse for "social stratification of classes". I saw that in places here like Elevation Ten, Heringer Estates, and Todd Taylor - totally turned off by their interpretation of "Wine Club". LESSON: "Wine-Club-Snobbery" turns off MANY potential customers & it's a two-edged sword: (1) As mechanism for discounted bulk purchases & shipping, it's great; (2) But as an excuse to deny customers "access" - via their space-bifurcation of the taste room(s) between regular customers and their club-members - NO BUENO. What I LOVE about Three Mile's interpretation is that right off the bat, they take the pretentiousness out by calling it their "Dirt Club!" https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/three-wine-company-clarksburg?select=sd_lFfPr0T8SnyEZj4Yb6g&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w And the 20% discount is amazing gimme to their members of their Dirt Club. AND, they don't bifurcate their wine patrons into artificial classes in different areas for purposes of wine-tasting. THE LOWDOWN A great, fun wine-tasting experience! read more

If you are casually hitting all the tasting rooms at the Sugar Mill, a must visit is Three Wine Company. I love Matt Cline's Zinfandel and it's a great start at the Front Bar. But our Party of Six had a reservation for the Food and Wine Pairing. Margaret Cline created an incredible Table Seating set up and led us to the back cavernous room where we enjoyed the mellow vibe. A Great Five Star Experience. read more

I am currently a wine club member at this location because the wine is phenomenal! I have loved every experience I have had wine tasting at this winery located inside the Old Sugar Mill. The staff are always super friendly and the wine speaks for itself as it is outstanding. I have purchased multiple cases of wine from this company. Definitely give them a taste if you happen to find yourself at the Old Sugar Mill as you will not be disappointed! read more

Wine was good...they barely poured any wine. I asked questions about the wine and the guy working there seemed like I was bothering him. They were very friendly to the person ahead of me...very odd experience. read more

Guess how many wines are included in the complimentary tasting?!? They have over 10 if you pay $5. While you contemplate this mind jogger I want to tell you about three wines that I liked. I am not much for Reisling, but my goodness they make one that grabs your attention. Art is art, and that is a good bottle. They also have a 105 year old vine Zin that is very nicely balanced between spice and nice. They also have an 85 year old vine Zin that is good, but not quite as good as the 105. They lady pouring was very cool. This is a great stop in the Old Sugar Mill. read more

Three Wine Company s great' i first was introduced to these wines at a wine tasters dinner! Mike Cline did a fabulous job with his presentation! The wine pairing great! We were heading to the Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg and decided to introduce the wines to our friends. They were friendly, , welcoming, generous and knowledgeable! They honored our 30% discount from the dinner we attended and added several wines to the tasting experience! read more

Three Wine Co just opened up a tasting room at Old Sugar Mill. They have a little under 10 wines to taste and no tasting fee. I only tried the whites (I think there were 3-4 reds as well) and they were wonderful. But the real highlight was the S3x late harvest Riesling. It is AMAZING. It was probably the best dessert wine I've ever had. Of course it's incredibly sweet (too much for my tasting partner) but it totally hit the spot for this sweet tooth. If you like dessert wines, this alone is worth visiting the Old Sugar Mill. read more

Three Wine Company - The Old Sugar Mill entrance - Wineries Near Me - Clarksburg, California

My daughter was married June 13th and we had a lot of family in town for the following week. Being Dirt Club members we 'thought' Three Wine Company was open on Thursdays so we brought the family to the Sugar Mill for some tastings. I found the doors closed but a slight nudge they opened and found tasting room manager Matt McCollough sitting behind a computer and willing to host our party of ten for a tasting. Needless to say Matt was awesome! He pulled out a bottle Escapade and gave our family a very good education on wine tasting through Matt Cline's very excellent 1885. Uncle Anthony was nearly in tears and my brother in law John said it was the best experience wine tasting he has ever experienced. Three Wine Company is truly a gem. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I love the wines and they have a beautiful space at the Old Sugar Mill. However, although their website mentions sustainability, they have an employee who referred to the climate crisis as a "warming trend" and not really anything to worry about. Denial of this existential threat that we all face and will do us in if we don't all do everything we can to mitigate it ASAP definitely left a bad taste in my mouth in contrast with a delicious red. If owners/ management read this, I suggest they invite science-denying staff to zip it on this topic. read more

This place is a favorite at the Old Sugar Mill. I love the wines, the relaxed atmosphere, and seeing and getting poured tastings by Kelly. She is just as much a reason that we come back here as the wine. As for the wine, I'm a big fan of the Old Vines Zin and Field Blend, and the Petite Sirah. The Albarino is on the sweeter side of white which I'm normally not a fan of, but I actually enjoy it very much. I visited this Sunday with some girl friends (two of which who had never been to OSM) and they enjoyed the experience just as much as I did. We were all very much excited to find out that the company they feature for wine aerator's is coming out with new designs-- including a zombie! read more

Three Wine Company was bustling when I visited a couple of weekends ago. I really wanted to check it out, so when I found an open space at the counter, I made sure to squeeze in. My boyfriend and I stood there for a few minutes, until we were greeted. That person then left, for some reason, and a minute later, another woman began to help us. She asked us if we wanted the free tasting (3 pours) or the paid tasting. Since we had already visited a few other tasting rooms, we figured three pours would be a good starting point. While tasting the wines, we found out that the company was owned by one of the Cline brothers. Having visited both Jacuzzi and Cline in Sonoma, we were both quite interested in learning more. But unfortunately, the lady helping us didn't seem to know much about the history or family. Oh well. The wine we tasted was fine; but none really stood out, of the three that we tried. read more

Three Wine Company is one of my favorite wineries, not only in the Old Sugarmill location, but overall! I'm not a wine snob by any means so it's nice to have knowledgeable people who work there that know their wines. Three has some of the best whites, with some of my favorites being Escapade and Albarino which are perfect for the summer months. They have some very decent reds as well. It's also been fun going to their release parties which seem to occur about every 3 months or so, but is usually accompanied by some food and samples of a wider variety of wines. Granted you need to be a member but their fees are nowhere near the Napa-type payments. If you want to try something new, refreshing and a location gaining in popularity, please give Three Wine Company a try as I'm sure you'll be as elated as I am! Cheers! read more

What a wonderful spot for the new Three Wine tasting room! I stopped by yesterday to check out the facilities. I have been a fan of Matt Cline's wines about 10 years now, and I always look forward to trying his new releases. I was so happy to see Matt and Erin nicely settled into this new space. Erin poured us a taste of 9 different wines: 3 whites from the Russian River (1 of which is a lucious late harvest Riesling) and 6 reds from the Oakley area. My favorites were the single vineyard reds, but I really enjoyed tasting all of the wines. The Riesling was a nice treat, as well. The other white is a nice Chardonnay. I'm typically not a Chardonnay fan, but Matt makes a nice one that is not overly buttery or too oaky. They're known for their Zinfandels, but I really love the Carignane and the Mataro as well. The Old Sugar Mill is very cool building, also housing 4 other winery tasting rooms. The facility is located on the Sacramento River, just south of Sacramento. It's a great destination for a day-trip, especially when you want to avoid the fog of the Bay Area. I high recommend a visit! read more

Is Hodor the owner or the wine maker?! If either, he should teach his wine baristas about their wine and what the wine varietals have in them. read more

My fiance and I were visiting my parents for the holidays, so my mom decided we should go check out some wineries in the area. I stumbled upon The Old Sugar Mill. Three Wine Company was one of the wineries we visited. The tasting price wasn't bad and you got a decent selection of their wines. I don't know how some of the people can call their pours "generous" but maybe our lady wasn't feeling so giving. As a beer drinker and brewery fanatic I am used to really friendly and talkative service. Beer people can be snobby, but usually they are happy to share their passion and talk you up. Here I found the service to be a bit cold and reserved. Not terrible, but just not warm and welcoming. Maybe she could sense that we weren't hardcore wine drinkers. The wine itself was good. I ended up buying a bottle of their dessert wine, but I was the only one who seemed to think they had anything worth buying. What really got me was that we were overcharged here. Now I could be like that Harvard business professor and scream and shout about being over charged $5, but at the end of the day it is $5. The story goes as this: The tastings are $5 (something like that) and if you buy a bottle of wine they waive the tasting fee. My mom didn't want a glass of her own but would take a small sip of ours if she was interested, so we got two tastings. When we left we bought a bottle of wine, and we were still charged for two tastings, not one. So the wine was decent, the service was lacking, and we got overcharged (a small amount but still overcharged). I might go back for a bottle of that dessert wine, but I wouldn't cozy up to the bar again. 4/100 read more

You could almost miss this little winery in the back corner of the mill. They are quite understated. It's all about the wine. No gimmicks or knickknacks. The space is dark, yet inviting and their logo as multifaceted as their drinks. The hostess acknowledged me immediately and began explaining about the different types of wine they make. They have a delicious Riesling, about a half dozen reds that range from simple to complex in flavor, and their award-winning S3x dessert wine. At $40 a bottle (about 13oz) it is pricey, but well worth it. Conditions have to be right for production, so something this good is a rarity. read more

Here for a girls day and went to this winery first. The first thing the winery lady says is that we can only choose five but if we choose the same that would be easier for her. Okay we all have different tastes and our job isn't to make your job easier. Then she tells us that that we actually have to choose all the same ones very rudely. We decided not to taste. read more

Their Contra Costa Zinfandel and the their Escapade Blend are both solid choices. We love this place.

They have a very nice flight of wines. Started w/ their Albarino, which turned out to be one of my favorites and I usually like reds. My other favorite was their Old Vine Zinfandel with a beautiful vanilla/coconut finish. Definitely try them out. read more

Three's wines are absolutely wonderful. They have a selection of both whites and reds, so there's a little something for everyone. And no tasting fee!! Like a previous reviewer mentioned though, the star of the show is their Late Harvest S3x Riesling. SO FREAKING DELICIOUS oh my god. It's a pretty amber color, suuuper sweet, but not syrupy at all. A little steep on the price (~$40 per 375-mL bottle) but definitely worth it for a special occasion. I got a bottle to share with my bridesmaids while getting ready on my wedding day, and it was definitely a hit. Their other wines are very well crafted too. My second favorite is their rose -- it smells just like strawberries and tastes sweet but more of a dry sweet, and fruity. Light and delicious! The only problem with this one is that once you open a bottle, you better plan on finishing it because it does NOT keep well at all. Put it in the fridge overnight and the next day it tastes and smells faintly of vinegar. Their regular Riesling is also a favorite of mine -- not too sweet, and crisp on the palate. I can't really comment on the reds because by the time I get to them on a tasting trip here, I'm too tipsy to really retain any coherent thoughts! ;D read more

3WineCo is one of the hidden gems at Old Sugar Mill. Its really easy to miss, since its all the way at the end of the building, but you definetly have to try them out. They do mostly zinfandel and zin blends, which come out delicious! The Field Blend Zin is good, and so is the Mataro? Zin. In the past they have bottled a cabernet... Make sure you stop by! Kelly is a really nice host! read more

Fantastic wine and great service. Such a friendly family-operated winery.

We arrived at this winery at 4:25 PM on a Saturday afternoon. Had I known the quality of service we would receive due to arriving so close to close of business, we would have skipped this winery entirely. Note a price tag of $10 for 5 tastings of just OK wine. We were hastily rushed through the menu; and asked what we wanted to purchase before we even got to taste our last pour. I understand entirely that it's a business to run (I've worked in the industry), but we left feeling on edge and unsatisfied. Sorry to have caught them at such a bad time because I had heard such great things. I don't plan to return. read more

Have always had great service and great wines! I love their 1885 blend as well as their Mataro. :-)

Yesterday was my first time for wine tasting at the Sugar Mill in Clarksburg. Three Wine Co. was an exciting find. I met Matt & Erin Cline, owners and tasted their fantastic wines. I am a red wine drinker and their Field Blend Zinfandel, Carignane and Mataro wines were outstanding. All of those were well balanced, good fruit with great body. If you like small vineyards with great wines, you should check out Three Wine Company. read more

Thanks Craig! Great day for Vino Volo!!

This winery is located in the Sugar Mill in Clarksburg. Our wine tasting attendant was really nice. Tasting was free. I think we were allowed to taste three or four wines. The wines tasted ok to me. Their long sleeve t-shirts were overpriced at $26 for a thin non high-quality shirt. Because the tasting attendant was so nice, I had a good time here overall. read more

Fabulous wines- not a bad one in the bunch. Generous with tastings and great service. We took home 4 bottles. Enjoyed the Zins, mataro, and field blend the most. Had a wonderful time and will be back. read more

This review will be short & sweet... My wife and I vistited the OSM two weeks in a row, during the first week we did a wine tasting at the Three Wine Company. After trying just about all of there wines whites/reds we became a DIRT member. Enjoyed every wine in the flight we tried; needless to say the Three Wine Co. was the reason we came back for the Wine and Food Truck Festival. The service was good, the atmousphere was nice and the ouydoor patio was really cool if you want to buy a bottle of your fav and have a picnic. If your looking for good wine, come to the OSM and try Three Wine Company. read more

Melissa offered many choices and with her amazing service we walked out with 6 bottles. Thank you!!!

The wines here are great, they have god examples of everything they do, including some single varietals of motaro and carrignane, which are normally used for mixing and so are rare in single varietal forms. I am not much of a sweet wine drinker, but you have to try their late harvest... it is a great dessert wine without any of the usual cloying sweetness most wines of that type carry read more

The tasting room wines were good, the ones you get at home don't taste as good. The customer svc reps told us there was no minimum for the wine club and that we could sign up on the website. In fine print they tell you that you must join for a year, but I wasn't expecting to need to read up on their policy, since their rep told me that there were no requirements, so we signed up. After getting a couple deliveries I noticed that I did not enjoy their wines nearly as much as the ones I tasted in the tasting room, tried to cancel my membership, but since I signed up online and it did state that I had to join for a year, I cannot cancel. So, they will get a few more of my dollars and then I will never purchase another item from them again, hate being tricked into buying something I don't want, lame. Hope this helps someone thinking of joining, know what you are getting into and know that the wine you get delivered will not taste nearly as good as the stuff they pour during your tasting. read more
