Rock Hill Winery

If i could give 10 stars I would!!! Wow! Melissa poured for oir tasting. First time here. 10 wines, ALL amazing!!! And that never happens! She was so sweet and smart as hell! She knew her stuff thats for sure! Very friendly and easy on the eye. On the way oit we ran i to the owner Don and he was just as fun! Super outgoing, cool guy!!! This is my favorite winery so far in placer county!!! The do food and wine pairings. Dinner events, etc… get on the mailing list, i just did!!! Try the vintage red!!! Mmmmm!

The Rock Hill Winery, I have to say great wine, awesome staff especially Melissa Fairchild and the owner, Don welcome us like friends from the past. The selections of wines, from their owner varietal of grapes grown on their estate to other local grapes make their wine collections one of the best. We will be back on a regular.

We bought the Groupon for the wine and food pairing event, and I am so glad we did! The owner, Don, is very knowledgable and entertaining, and the wine and food were delicious! (So delicious that we brought several bottles home with us.) We learned a lot about wine, food and «wine + food» combinations — Don and his team were very attentive and helpful, patiently answering our questions during the event. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful — we look forward to visiting Rock Hill Winery again soon!

Great time at Rock Hill .the owner has a good sense of humor and is a wealth of knowledge. Beautiful grounds and friendly staff. Can’t wait for another opportunity to taste with friends in the future.

I must say that this place is very beautiful and the groupon that we bought was well worth it. The owner was very nice and the wine was top notch. If they still have this grpupon (food and wine paring) I suggest buying it.

A fun afternoon! We had purchased a Groupon and had no idea what to expect. It was entertaining, delicious, and we experienced some great wines. Check them out!

I stopped in around 12:15 on a Friday afternoon and literally had to force myself away to make my 1:30 appointment. Don the owner/​winemaker was engaging and kind. Incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. It was such a nice time chatting away and tasting wines with him. I was the first customer of the day and we walked into the cellar together and he selected today’s bottles.
Don continues to share info and suggestions thru the tasting and tons of stories. We even got a sneak peak/​taste of some Sangiovese– just picked that morning and fermenting. Such a cool experience!
If you’re looking for a place where you can plow through the tasting menu and be on to the next– this isn’t for you. If you love wine and people who love wine– stop here. I loved the chard and the Pinot noir. I didn’t taste everything yet but I’ll be back.

Did the wine pairing and had an excellent experience. Don, the owner was a great host and very informative. We learned more about wines than all the wine tastings we have experienced in Napa Valley. Beautiful property. Can’t wait for the amphitheater to be completed.

Owner Don is an amazing host! Wine’s are delicious, great bottle prices, beautiful property, fun events! Attended the wine pairing with some friends and had an amazing time! Highly recommended.

Had a great time there wonderful wine great owner and a beautiful setting! We did the six course wine and food pairing and it delicious. They were very generous with both the wine and food! Don the owner had great funny stories and he taught us so much about wine but in such a relaxing way. My husband normally doesn’t drink wine but not only did he try every one he had seconds! Will definitely come back here specially to their concerts and wine makers dinner. Can’t wait!

We just had a lovely evening at Rock Hill winery at a wine and food pairing. This is a treasure hidden right in our backyard. The pours were generous and the food was incredible. We purchased this through Groupon but plan to return very soon for one of their music events. It was sophisticated but not pretentious. We enjoyed the art exhibition as well.

I just can’t say enough good things about Don and Melissa from Rock Hill Winery. I went to them rather desperate as my 6 months booked venue for my rehearsal dinner cancelled on me two weeks before the event. Don was beyond accommodating and I was thrilled to change venues. The wine was fantastic — actually quite a bit better than the original venues wine! (they provided our choice beers as well), the tented area outside worked perfectly for our group and overall they deserve 2 BIG thumbs up. Gorgeous location, friendly people, great wine!

Awesome wine! Great music tonight with Keep on Truckin! Couldn’t have asked for a better date night with the hubby!

OK I’m becoming almost a regular here and having more fun than Trader Joe’s ever.
Love seeing and meeting with many of my customers. Left Trader Joe’s in January so come see me at Rock Hill from time to time. Great fun excellent staff and wine too! :-)

It was a great experience
Wasn’t sure what to expect but it was so nice and fun and different… the owner is a wonderful
And sweet and the food was so delicious!!! A must try

Located in Loomis. Directions can be difficult to follow going the back way. Lots of parking. Rock paved driveway leading in.
There was plenty of staff walking around to direct wine tasters around to bar. Narrow areas behind the bar chairs but manageable.
Not sure if there was a tasting fee. Tasting was like 10 wines made throughout California. They have sister vineyards around.
Stephanie was working and greeted us. Provided a menu, pen, and glasses. She informed us some happenings including a meal pairing event with extra food was going on at the same time. It allowed us to try actual food with wine. A different perspective. She provided they have pairing events frequently.
Staff including Stephanie were well versed on the wines.
Food pairing items vary for event. Some food we had include pastrami wrapped cheese asparagus, cheese n crackers, and potato quiche. Food was hot and matched well with the wine.
We tried all the wines. There selection include but not limited to a Chardonnay, Rose, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Four Way blend. There was something for everybody.
Most of the wines we enjoyed. We ended up purchasing the blend (Barbera, Zinfandel, Petite Syrah, and Cab). Blend was a good sweetness, berry hints, subtle bite.
Good: service, food, and most wines.
Bad: maps can get you lost looking. Plan ahead.
Worth additional visits.

I’m a local resident and have been to Rock Hill before but last night really just stood out. I drive by this winery every day. It is an adorable setting tucked into a hill in the perfect town of Loomis. Placer County actually has a handful of great wineries and this is one to add to the list. A few friends were lucky enough to get to end 3 hours last night enjoying a wine and food pairing event at Rock Hill and to be honest I was not sure what to expect when we walked in. It was an intimate setting with about 20 people. WE all went around the table an introduced ourselves. Don, the owner already was entertain us with great stories and history of wine making. But the best part was that he was not talking at us… he was engaging and spoke with us.
We got out of our seats and took a 5 – 7 minute tour of the grounds… nothing too long but just enough to get aquatinted with the place. (side note: I cannot wait to come back this summer and enjoy the summer concerts on the lawn at the amphitheater).
Back at our seats we start off with a Rose (as Don fully explains about the wine… we really learned so much which I absolutely loved) and fresh pineapple. He has us try the wine before the food and then again after to see the real difference in taste.
We went though 5 other courses with wine and then desert and a port like wine (he even explained how true wine expert look and taste wine when rating them on the point scale. We all experimented on our own.)
His daughter was there helping with all of the food and wine serving (and we really could have as many tastes of whatever wine we like… they did not hold back). And his amazing wife was the master behind the fantastic food. I cannot say enough about the food. It was truly mouth watering. I really was impressed as the food was honestly outstanding.
All in all this was a wonderful night.
There was not one point in the evening that someone tried to sell us. We actually had to ask what the wine club membership entailed as we wanted to join. It was such a low pressure night… you really felt like you were part of their family.
There is so much going on at this place you really have to check it out for yourself. Don, the owner is so knowledgeable and his family is very welcoming. The wine is great and the events they have are fantastic. You are missing out if you do not try this place out for yourself.

This is a great place for big events, or a small get together with friends. Short drive from I-​80, or Hwy.65, it offers a relaxed setting for some afternoon sipping. The owners are nice, and passionate about their wine. They do food and wine pairing dinner a few times a month. Worth checking it out.

This winey was down to earth, friendly, personable and loads of fun. Spent the afternoon wine pairing with friends and family. The food was excellent and the wine choices were right on.
The location is close to sacramento however the feel is out in the country. Try this place for yourself you’ll love it!

What a great vineyard! Purchased a groupon for wine tasting and food pairing for 2. Got 14 additional friends to join us and made a wonderful afternoon out of it. Beautiful grounds, great food and awesome wines. Such a family feeling. Very down home and cozy. Being from Sacramento, this vineyard is just a quick hop skip and a jump away in Loomis. Check it out for yourself! You will love it!
