Bryan J
"A MUST VISIT!! We had the best time touring the GORGEOUS vineyards at Grimm’s Bluff, Our guide Emily was so knowledgeable and kind. The grounds are so well maintained, all postcard worthy!"
Sarah B
"What an amazing place and experience. The site is spectacular, our host Alexia was wonderful and the wine outstanding! I highly recommend the tour at Grimm’s Bluff. Peaceful environment, out of the beaten path, from small family owned vineyard. Loved their Sauv Blanc, Cab Sauv and blends, but the single varietal Cab Franc was my favorite!"
Eric C
"Ashlyn was a wonderful, informative and friendly host. The wines were wonderful, complex and display well the Happy Canyon AVA. The wine value is high. What is hard to describe is the beautiful vista you see when visiting the winery. Whether facing North, South, East or West the views are stunning."
Larry D
"The 360 views, and knowledge in seeing how their vineyards are managed and how it impacts the taste of their wines, are all so informative and enjoyable. We cannot recommend Grimm's Bluff enough both because of the wine, and the people and property are going to create a memorable experience. Very special!"
