点评:Domaine Carneros is undeniably beautiful. The château alone is worth the visit - gorgeous architecture, sweeping vineyard views, and an overall elevated, classy atmosphere. It’s also incredibly Instagrammable, with guests dressed to match the chic setting, making it a great spot for photos.
That said, the service left much to be desired. It was clear they were very busy, but our server, Gabriel, lacked any real personal touch. He poured our sparkling wines, gave a brief explanation of each, and then disappeared - never checking back in. It felt transactional rather than hospitable.
I was also celebrating my 40th birthday, which was noted by the hostess with a card at our table, but it was never acknowledged by our server. A small gesture would have gone a long way.
I opted for the “Sparkling Château Tasting,” but surprisingly didn’t enjoy the last two pours, which were described as their most aged and premium offerings.
If I were to return, I’d likely go for the most basic tasting, set lower expectations for service, take in the views, snap a few stunning photos, and move on.
翻译:卡内罗斯酒庄 (Domaine Carneros) 的美景毋庸置疑。单是这座城堡就值得一游——华丽的建筑、一览无余的葡萄园景色,以及整体高雅精致的氛围。这里也非常适合拍照打卡,宾客们都穿着与周围环境相得益彰的时尚服饰,使其成为绝佳的拍照地点。
话虽如此,这里的服务却令人失望。显然他们非常忙碌,但我们的服务员加布里埃尔 (Gabriel) 却缺乏任何真诚的待客之道。他为我们斟满起泡酒,简单地介绍了每款酒的特点,然后就消失了——再也没有回来询问我们的需求。这让人感觉像是在进行交易,而不是出于热情好客。
我当天也在庆祝我的40岁生日,女主人在我们的餐桌上放了一张贺卡,但我们的服务员却对此只字未提。哪怕只是一个简单的举动,也会让我们感到很温暖。
我选择了“酒庄起泡酒品鉴”套餐,但出乎意料的是,我并不喜欢最后两款酒,而这两款酒被宣传为酒庄最陈年、品质最高的佳酿。
如果我再去一次,我可能会选择最基本的品尝套餐,降低对服务的期望,欣赏一下风景,拍几张漂亮的照片,然后就离开。
