Early Father’s Day dinner for 2. Reservations required. No one under 21 allowed. You can apply for membership to the wine club which offers discounts on wine and different seating choices on the property. Had the Burrata and Tuna Poke- both fantastic. The prosciutto fig flatbread was amazing and then drizzling honeycomb honey on top ( from bees on the property) was a delight. We also had the steak tacos in a soft shell (you could opt for hard shell). The steak was very tender but lacking flavor on its own. When combined with all the fixings and sauce it was a tasty combination. Unfortunately all the tortillas split apart on the bottom which made it tricky moving them from serving tray to plate and then eating them. I opted for the knife and fork method. We also shared 2 different wine flights and liked all of the wines. We ended up buying 4 bottles! Our server, Lynn, was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. A real treat to have a Napa-style Winery in Walnut Creek. We’ll be back 🍷

We absolutely loved Shadowbrook Winery! Hands down the most beautiful winery in the east bay that we’ve been to. It’s definitely pricey - more like Napa prices but good food, wine and a lovely place to spend time. The staff was very good as well. Looking forward to coming back!

We brought out-of-town guests. They said our visit to Shadowbrook was the high point of their stay. Two minor suggestions: 1. It would be good to have brief written explanations of the wines being tasted. 2. On a hot day, how about earthenware water pitchers on the table?

We sat outside on the patio. It was a cool evening but they had a fierce infrared heater that kept us all toasty. The wine was really enjoyable, and the food was excellent (much better than we expected). A really lovely evening, right in our backyard. Napa vibe without the haul.

Beautiful views and location in Walnut Creek (the foothills of Mt Diablo). Great food and service, fun to see the vineyard the grapes in your bottle came from. Thought the tasting fees were comparatively steep ($45-$60 for 5 tastes). Would definitely return again and just order wines by the glass for the ones we now know we like.

Our 4th time visiting and another fantastic experience. The wine is excellent, the food very good and our server Kevin amazing. Brought two friends whom had never been here, and it was so much fun to see their jaws drop as they looked around and kept saying “ who knew that a winery this good was in our backyard!” The big extra bonus…. we were back in our home in 15 minutes! No grueling Napa traffic!
