Shadowbrook Winery has become the East Bay’s most decorated winery with over 75 medals. Shadowbrook is a small production family-owned winery located in the foothills of Mt. Diablo. We offer a diverse selection of exceptional red wines, along with some fantastic white wine options. Whether you're looking for a wine tasting experience, a glass or bottle to enjoy, or even a variety of local beers on draft, we’ve got something for everyone. Pair it all with our excellent food menu for the perfect experience.
We offer various seating options all with beautiful views of Mt. Diablo and our vineyards. There truly isn't a bad seat in the house! Most seating is outdoors to enjoy the scenery, with covered patios, shade, and umbrellas for warm days, plus heaters, a fireplace, and fire pits for cooler weather. We also offer indoor seating, though it does not have the same views. All seating is first-come, first-served. Please note we are reservation-only, so plan ahead!

    Enjoyed an outstanding experience at Shadowbrook sipping some great wine and enjoying the million dollar views of Mt Diablo. We feasted on a great burger and brussel sprouts which were some of the best I have ever had. Our server Jeff was attentive and knowledgeable. Wonderful experience.

    Shadowbrook is a hidden gem in Walnut Creek! It’s so close to where we life, yet it feels far away. The views are gorgeous and the atmosphere is serene. The wine and food are always excellent! Love it!

    Not a traditional wine tasting. Wine comes out with paper placemats that describe the wine. The food was good, but for the price the charcuterie board was a little skimpy. I do a lot of wine tasting and this seemed pricy and the wine was only alright.

    This was my second time going and it was even better this time around (don't get me wrong the first time was amazing) our server John was great and funny and extremely accommodating. I would definitely go again.

    It was my first time visiting this place. The view of the vineyard was beautiful and we enjoyed the wine and food very much. They helped us select a red wine and dishes for us. The weather was great and time passed quickly.

    Pretty good experience, a few things to mention. They did not have enough gluten free choices, they did not explain wines. They just dropped them off and kept moving. The prices on food were kind of expensive. Overall, I would go back and demand better.
