Visited Hyland Estates today for the first and last time! No one was tasting there at all and the hostess refused to take our party of eight and would not let us split up into two parties of four. Obviously didn't want to work!
Hyland Estate always makes you feel at home. Very accommodating, very knowledgeable of wines. The crew ( Joe, Rebecca, Caroline, Ashley), are the best.
I hate to be that guy leaving a poor review. My wife and I stopped in here to do a tasting today. In fairness, we did not have reservations and there is a sign at the door that said tastings were by appointment only. We tried calling the phone number, and it told us that our call cannot be completed so we thought we would walk in and just see if there was a chance we could do a tasting and were hopeful because all of the seats inside and out were empty. When I walked in, the only person there was on the phone. We made eye contact and then she looked away while continuing to talk on the phone. She was not wearing a mask by the way. Which is a mandate here. For the next 10 minutes I waited while she was on her call and at no time did she acknowledge me, look at me, tell me it’ll be a second, or anything else. She just simply ignored me. She said on the phone that she was the club manager, so I have to assume that that’s her position. It doesn’t seem as though they are looking to bring in new members if they can’t even acknowledge people when they walk in the door, let alone ignore them for 10 minutes while you’re standing in front of them in the lobby. We were actually going to different vineyards today and joined some, and this could’ve been another. Unfortunately, we will never know because we were ignored.
Absolutely wonderful place, people, wine and grounds are perfect.
Fue genial nuestra visita, excelente atencion y el vino de lo mejor.
Had a wonderful tasting Joe! Thank you for the the down to earth tasting and the fun history/ science lesson behind the wines! So much fun!
