  A great spot in Folsom for a glass and a bite. Their wines are delicious and reasonably priced and their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable (Armando was GREAT)!

  If you’re looking for a tasting room that feels polished, welcoming, and consistently well-run, Willamette Wineworks is an easy recommendation. I’ve been coming in regularly for over a year, and it’s the kind of place that keeps earning repeat visits: a strong, rotating wine selection, a comfortable atmosphere, and service that actually stands out. The staff across the board is friendly and attentive, and Armando deserves a special mention. He’s knowledgeable, upbeat, and genuinely helpful, the kind of person who makes a tasting feel relaxed and personal without ever being pushy. The location is a big part of the experience. Set in Historic Folsom above Scott's Seafood Roundhouse, the upstairs tasting room has balcony seating that’s perfect for fresh air and people-watching. When the weather turns, the patio heaters outside and the indoor fireplace create a warm, cozy vibe that makes you want to linger. They also offer a small, well-chosen food menu through their partnership with Scott’s Seafood, and it’s ideal for pairing. The soups are absolutely worth ordering, especially as a half-and-half bowl. The combination is unexpectedly great. The cheese options are an easy win with any flight, and the chocolate offering pairs beautifully with the red wines. If you want something more interactive than a standard tasting, the blend-your-own-wine experience is genuinely fun and surprisingly educational. You taste, take notes on flavor profiles, and experiment with blending until you land on something that feels like “your” wine. It’s a great way to learn more about the craft without it feeling gimmicky. They also have membership options with perks, including member-only deals and events, if you’re a regular. Overall: excellent wine, standout service, and a setting that works year-round. Great for a casual glass, hosting out-of-town guests, or doing something a little different with the blending session.

  Us and another couple visited this tasting room in early Jan 2026. It was in a lovely setting, good snacks (from Scott's Seafood below), and great wine. Shantel was our host/server and did an excellent job. Although it was quite busy, we never felt overlooked and she kept the juices flowing. Her explanation of & assistance with the blending process was thorough & appreciated. Thanks to her, the four of us are now "master blenders" (in our opinion only). Cheers!

  Outstanding service. My friend and I visited in December for a wine tasting, and Jennifer helped us select some wonderful wines. She was incredibly patient with us, even though we arrived an hour before closing and ended up being the last ones to leave. Throughout the entire experience, Jennifer remained pleasant, friendly, and attentive. In addition to the delicious wine, Jennifer truly made our visit special.
