"We stopped in for the first time today. Let me tell you, the grounds and views are spectacular! My wife loves wine, me, not so much. We tried a flight and had 4 glasses. My wife liked pretty much all of them. They were okay to me, but again, I'm not a wine drinker. They have some small food choices and snacks as well. We'll be back to try more wines and enjoy the views,and some music."

"Loved the farmhouse for wine tasting and coffee and charcuterie. Lovely service, friendly and welcoming staff and locals, beautiful location with outdoor seating overlooking the vineyard.
Wines a bit hit and miss but wide varies and $16 for 4 tastes was reasonable! Plus we found one we loved! Ambiance is incredible! Live music (by the Appalachian Monk) was wonderful. BBQ food truck on Friday looked and smelled incredible (but we had reservations elsewhere."

"Ambiance: Beautiful vineyard on a gorgeous property with blooming flowers, vines, & trees. The venue itself felt almost Tuscany-ish. Perfect spot for an afternoon wine tasting, celebration, birthday, romantic date, or enjoying the views.
We loved the wines! The Hellbender & Red Headed Stepchild were a few favorites amongst our group. Their wines are on the sweeter side - which was refreshing and perfect for sipping. Bottles of wine and snacks available for purchase. We went with the wine tasting flight.
Not too crowded on a Saturday early afternoon. Many patio tables and outdoor spots as well as some inside sitting areas. They had live music as well.
Onsite parking. There is also a French Restaurant onsite. Super beautiful ambiance for enjoying the afternoon, as a wine lover I highly recommend!"
