LaRocca Vineyards Tasting Room

The convenience of having a pleasant, low-key wine tasting room in downtown Chico is always a great place to pick up a bottle of something new and different from the usual 'daily drinking' wines one might pick up at chateau du Safeway. I have always found the server(s) certainly pleasant some more knowledgeable about the actual history of a particular wine than others. But of the several less that flattering reviews I just read, I wouldn't put much stock in those individuals. We have always enjoyed the wines offered, some that we find more to our taste than others and can always find several to take home.

I had the most amazing birthday party at the LaRocca tasting room. I'm so glad I decided to have my party there. Not only is their wine and champagne fantastic (organic-sulphate free!), it's also ideal for the kind of quaint and intimate gathering I was desiring. Everywhere I turned, there was a sweet face to converse and catch-up with. We brought in a great musician to play his saxophone while we all danced around. And my charcuterie spread was of the chain, fantastic. It covered a whole dining table. My favorite was enjoying my apricot and cream filled cake from nearby Upper Crust Bakery.

Their server was on point. She kept everyone's champagne glasses full, which was crucial on this hot summer's evening. I wish I could party like this every weekend. It felt like a real Napa-Chico experience. I'd recommend to anyone to have their special event here.

Thank you LaRocca, I'll be back!
