san dominique winery

We have been to San Dominique Winery/Garlic Paradise several times. We have even made the 200+ mile trip to attend one of Bill's Special dinners. Bill is very personable and we have always had a pleasant experience and good conversation. Appreciate the variety of sauces and items in chairs. The garlic/herb bread is very good. The most recent time we had great Italian Sausage sandwiches. Will stop again.

The reason to not go here is not because it is kind of awkward to get to (which it is) or that the facilities are poor (which they are) but that this place is no longer a decent and relaxing establishment to stop and get wine. The owner had small dogs that ran up to sniff us (which by itself was not bad), but the tasting room smelled very badly like dog. The place did not feel clean, or look clean at all. The grounds themselves need to be cleaned up badly. Too bad, the owner seems to have a proud heritage and this is most likely his passion, but it needs some serious work.

Great wines, and a significant history as told by the owner. A small store stocked with Italian food products ranging from the owners own recipes to authentic italian pasta. worth a stop if your passing from phoenix to Flagstaff. 1 minute off the freeway......
