I was absolutely blown away by the white Cayuga. It was so crisp and dry, perfect for the summer (technically autumn) day it was. I'll be getting bottles of that in the future. My second fave from the flight of four was their very own Independence Red, produced and bottled right here in Lebanon. It's a must try if you're there. I typically stay away from Cab Savs but just as advertised, its drinks like a Pinot, smooth tannins. It was excellent. I had my own table outside overlooking the vines. There's a lot of bees and wasps in the vicinity so be ware. I was left relatively unbothered by them. Perfect for a date or for a family meet up. Bring some cheese and enjoy the view.

Lebanon Green Vineyards was our second stop of the day and my favorite. They have a great grassy area with several tables, all of which had umbrellas which is nice, as I'd always like the option of having shade, especially on the hot days we've had this summer. They also had live music just starting as we arrived. We ordered a bottle of Wayland Rose, some Cato Corner cheese, and some wine crackers. They brought everything to our table for us. A nice chilled bottle of wine, in a chiller bucket, the cheese came with a cutting board, a sharp knife, and some napkins. Most wineries just hand you the cheese and a plastic knife if you're lucky. The hospitality at Lebanon Green Vineyards was amazing, I appreciate all the little touches that make it such a nice overall experience. When we didn't finish our bottle, they brought a stopper over for us, and brought our bill right to our table. We didn't have a lot of time to spend there the day we went, but I am looking forward to going there again as a destination and spending the afternoon there. It seems like they have music pretty regularly on the weekends. You can bring your own food with you as well.

Pulling into this winery, I first was concerned I was pulling into someone's farm. Yes, a random…read morepopcorn machine is not traditional farm machinery, but it looks like a house that became a winery and if not for the sign and other cars parked, I may have had an anxiety attack. The tasting room is rather small on the back-right of the property, and lots of tables with umbrellas outside to sit and enjoy the music and/or talk with your friends. I tried the shot and scoop (a cup of ice cream with their blueberry dessert wine), which had a choice of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. A word of caution - stir your ice cream before they pour, otherwise it will overflow the cup. It was delicious though, even on a cold day. The only downside was the baristas are all over you. We were asked at least five times if we were there for a tasting or a glass before we had a chance to really absorb the menu. We chose to sit as far from the tasting room as possible so we could chat and enjoy our glass (and please keep in mind, there were may three other tables with people so it's not like space was at a premium) and they came over 2-3 times to see if there was anything else we wanted to order. The tight polite smile and declining their assistance was not sufficient to deter their intrusions. They were nice, please don't miss understand, just persistent with a force you normally see of people working on commission, and hey, maybe they were. I would definitely come back because the wine was good and it's a pretty location, but I'd be prepared with a more authoritative "No, I will come to you when I want to order more".

Between the cozy setting, friendly staff, and fantastic wines, this place has quickly become one of our favorites.

The landscape provided us a nice puppy surprise but other than that it was nice day to be outside taking photos and drinking some great wine!

You drive down a…read morelong road in Johnston, wondering where you are, and suddenly you are at a beautiful, private vineyard. They have tables to sit and drink wine or have lunch, and a flock of very cute fluffy chickens that scatter around. Some families were there and they had ordered a pizza to be delivered there and were drinking a few bottles of wine. We opted to try the 7 wines for $12.00 tasting. The woman doing the tasting was very detailed about the wines and we really enjoyed listening and asking questions. We enjoyed all the white wines with the Cayuga White being our favorite, so we got a bottle of that to take home. I also enjoyed the reds and the rose. The owner was very friendly and loved chatting when we asked about the huge unusual tree - it is his pride and joy - a chestnut tree! We would definitely come back. I do wish they gave more than a very small pour. In some of the wines, we couldn't really get the flavors as there was just not enough wine in the glass to taste fully.

We ALL want to get to our next destination safely. The bartender was friendly and very knowledgeable about their product. We listened to live music played by Myke Ross. The musical selections were great. People took to the floor to dance. I definitely will go back to this winery. Go check it out and enjoy yourself. We came with our own food from Panera Bread.

The winery has outdoor and indoor seating with ample parking available. The bathrooms are very clean but a little small.

They don't have a big indoor area, plenty of space outside but inside is minimal- would like to see them expand it. Honestly would come back in a heart beat if in the area, it's just very far from us and the other wineries out that was are atrocious so not sure when we would be back.
