We enjoyed the wines, especially the blends. The Bordeaux blend was fantastic as were the Rhone style wines. Friendly staff made the tasting even better. Definitely a visit

We had a wonderful tasting experience with Sean (and another gentlemen who left to do a tasting upstairs) We prefer white wines and they were happy to accommodate us with an all white tasting flight, even breaking out some past vintages. We left with 4 bottles :)

We loved everything about the elevated experience tour with Danny on December 26th. The only thing I thought about afterwards was that we didn’t learn about wine club options, but I’ll be back and look into them next time!

Service was great. Wines were incredible. We liked pretty much everything and even bought a bottle of one we hadn’t tried because the others were so good. You will not be disappointed. Black Label wines were worth it. Didn’t try the food but others were eating and seemed genuinely happy.

Always a great experience at Derby, especially with Danny offering comparisons of different vintages of the same varietals. Wines are wonderful and remain reasonably priced. As regards this survey tool itself, there should be a "N/A" option, as with this visit to Derby we did not order any food.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Derby. We arrived a few minutes before our appointment time and were waiting on another guest and were offered a tour of the facility, since they weren't busy yet, while we waited. The wines were wonderful and our servers were knowledgeable and most importantly FUN while serving us.

We always enjoy taking advantage of our Derby Wine Club membership, by visiting the tasting room and sampling both new releases as well as library wines we still are holding for that special occasion. Derby staff are knowledgeable about their many wines, solicitous (but not too much), and generous with the pours of their wines.

Loved the big patio, well spaced and comfortable! Being a Thursday, it was quiet and that suited us just fine. Emily is friendly, attentive and so knowledgeable. We really enjoyed chatting with her!! She also recommended another local winery that we were able to enjoy later that afternoon. Derby is so lucky to have Emily. Please note, food rated a "0" only because we did not actually have food.

We always enjoy visiting Derby, whether for a Club Derby wine pick-up, the Friday music (hopefully to resume when safe) or just to stop by and taste - Danny and the rest of the Derby team are welcoming and informative.

Great experience. Wine server had great knowledge and we had great conversations. Loved sitting outdoors, in the shade with a nice breeze. And on top of all that the wines are terrific. Didn't rate food because it was N/A

I know that rating everything at a 10 isn’t desirable in surveys but it was absolutely perfect. The only thing that would make it better was a tour of the facility or winery. We were already consumers of Derby wine. Being able to taste more helped us to purchase 17 bottles of wines we otherwise wouldn’t have bought. We did visit other wineries in the area but Derby’s wine quality was right for us.
