Rock Hill Winery

They are closed until new buyers come. Just letting anyone know so they don't drive out there.

I really am surprised with the positive reviews of this winery. We went once a few months ago, and will never go back. Firstly, the outside appeared completely rundown and unkempt. We wondered if the place was still in business, since it looked like they hadn't landscaped in months. We walked in to a huge room that had all the feels of a commercial garage. It was cold, and it smelled like soured grapes- not in the good way. The air in general was stifling, they could stand to open some windows. Speaking of which, there were no windows or natural light. We were mixed in with storage containers and equipment, and cheap fold out chairs and tables. The gal behind the bar was nice, but the wine was bland and lacked any notes. All in all, it feels like a mom n pop operation where the mom n pop got way in over their head and started cutting corners as soon as they drew up the plans for a winery. :/

For us 4 friends...wines were way too sweet and smelled corky. But apparently it's just the aged barrel? Hmmm. After 4 of our 7 tastings we decided to leave. Still got charged the $15pp. Oh well. I don't think the owner was happy we had our own opinions of his wines. He was rude. We had been to this winery a few times pre Covid and we thought they were good... brought friends today... totally NOT the same. Everyone has their own taste buds for wine...go for it!

Visited the winery recently and was warmly greeted by the owner Don. We truly appreciated the ambiance of the winery and the history of it being brought lovingly to life by Don and his wife Judy. My husband and I enjoyed the fact that Don asked us questions about our likes and dislikes before our tasting. He then poured accordingly.The wine we tasted was delicious. Don went into detail about the making of his wines and after many years in the business he definitely know what he's doing! We purchased two bottles to take home and enjoy. We visit the area fairly regularly and this will definitely be a stop!Thank you so much Don and Judy!

We live near the Rock Hill Winery and I am a member of their club. While we stop in for a tasting periodically, my wife and I attended our first "event" there this past Sunday. It was a dinner / wine pairing and it was fantastic. Don the owner is not only a great wine maker, he is also very well versed in associated facts and details which he can share in an articulate, interesting, informative manner. I now also know - based on this event - that both he and his wife are culinary wizards and can make nutritious, well presented, temptingly tasty cuisine. Both the food and the wines were delicious! We were served 7 courses with the appropriate wine with each to show how they complement each other. First we would try the wine without the food and then with ... to better differentiate the impact of the combination. The late afternoon progressed like this:1) Fresh Pineapple / 2014 Muscato2) Asparagus Wrapped with Prosciutto & Cream Cheese / 2015 Chardonnay3) Brie Cheese with French Fig Jam on Baguette / 2015 Sangiovese4) Jumbo Prawns with Butter & Garlic / 2014 Syrah5) Creamy Dubliner Cheese / 2014 Estate Barbera6) Choice Angus Tri tip, Yukon Potatoes with Sour Cream and Green Beans / 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon 7) Cheesecake Medley (Vanilla, Chocolate, Raspberry) / Lite Larboard The wine was poured very generously ... for willing takers ... but "not pushed" on anyone. The attendees we met were all friendly and obviously enjoying themselves - but, well behaved. We will attend other events at Rock Hill.

When we had our Golden Wedding Anniversary rededication and reception at Rock Hill Winery everything except the weather was perfect. Don went out of his way to make sure make sure that our event went off without a hitch even though it had to be moved into the winery proper. Thank you. Don for all your help creativity and support.From set up to dinner and final dancing things could not have been more wonderful.Wishing you continued success!Ingrid and Rick

Don was so kind and so helpful. Delightful conversation and education. He gave the best tasting experience and the cutest winery dog, Buck. Will definetly be returning for more next time we are in the area.

We were introduced to Rock Hill Winery about a year & a half ago by friends. We have been members for about a year now. It has been such a great experience. The owner Don has such a vast knowledge of wines it is truly amazing. He makes you feel right at home with great wines & music. My boyfriend & I have throughly enjoyed ourselves everytime we pick up our wine. Thank you Don.

These high rating reviews don't make sense at all. Came here last weekend with my partner and noticed how this place is very rundown and unkempt. We sat at the bar, and the owner was very unprofessional and was rude. We were asked to choose 7 wines from the list to try as part of their tasting. We chose our 7 tastings but weren't given the ones we requested. Wouldn't give my partner any of the ones he had requested. The owner complained that he had to throw away some opened wine bottles from the previous day and didn't want to open new bottles. Hmm, well, maybe you shouldn't offer a wine tasting if you're so concerned about opening new bottles? Or maybe create a set wine tasting menu to avoid "throwing out" unfinished bottles?The service was terrible. There was a group of 4 seated next to us who arrived shortly after us. The owner ignored us and gave all his attention to them. We were there for over an hour and haven't gotten our 4th tasting. Meanwhile, the group were close to their last 7th tasting. While we all were seated at the bar, keep in mind that with the group next to us and the owner standing right in front of us, we had to keep waving him down and to get his attention to pour us our next tasting. After our 5th, we gave up and decided to leave.The wines weren't that great. Tasted wattered down. The owner gets offended if you didn't like one of the wines, and he tries hard to convince you with an excuse. Will never go back. And I wouldn't recommend this place at all.

Went to this winery last Saturday, we were the only guests when we arrived and the owner sat us down at the bar. Shortly after a group of 4 came in and they sat next to us. For the next hour the owner gave them all his attention and and didn't listen when I requested which wine I would like to taste instead giving me the same one my girlfriend asked for. Overall terrible service, took way too long to pour us our glasses, and didn't listen to what I requested. I do not recommend trying this place.
