This was my first winery visit but wasn't what I expected. We paid $5 for 5 samples which was nice but other people talked about how other winery's do free samples. Overall we left with 6 wines that we liked. Location was nice and secluded and the staff was friendly.

Ugh! This winery is so not Door County representative. It seemed so promising with its hidden location on a winding country road. Do not bother. Just stop in your tracks when you come to Door Peninsula Winery. It doesn’t get any better than that! I walked in and was greeted by a sign reading, “5 tastings for $5.” The small tasting area was filled with a trolley load from the winery tour company and I didn’t feel like waiting for a paid tasting so I decided to just grab a couple bottles. I was surprised by the limited selection, just two reds at the time I was there. Each bottle was $16. I asked the lady who was wandering around near the cash register if I could just get a free tasting of the two bottles I was about to purchase to make sure I liked them. She said I could for $1 each. Wow. I’ve never been to a winery that didn’t allow at least 1 free tasting for someone about to make a purchase. Especially at a higher price point than most of the other wines in Door County. I decided to take the high road and just spend $32 to try the wines since they weren’t going to offer the sort of customer service I have become accustomed to and pick up the $2 charge. I haven’t tried them yet so I cannot comment on the value. I will never go back and I would not recommend this winery with so many other options in the area that provide better customer service. I have to assume they are trying to keep demand lower by having such a stringent policy. That makes sense if you want to stay small, but charging a $1 fee for a single tasting just comes across as tacky and cheap. Maybe find a better way of controlling growth?

We visited Simon Creek Vineyard on a warm and languid Friday afternoon. The staff was quite accommodating and friendly. The wines were pleasant. The Hazelnut port was exceptional! We each had a glass of wine on their spacious deck over-looking the vineyard and small pond. I can imagine that this place would be a great winery to experience during a crowded weekend afternoon.

Staff was quiet not very engaged however not rude. We were able to try 4 samples of wine from the menu which resulted in a purchase from everyone in our party. Not really a winery to tour. Pleased with the visit.

The wine is average but the winery grounds are beautiful and quite relaxing. This is a nice place to sit outside on a warm day. Not as busy as the typical touristy places.
