We've stayed at Deer Creek Inn and Winery about once a year since 2021, when I first discovered it…read moreshortly after the pandemic. At that time, it felt like a true bed-and-breakfast experience with thoughtful personal touches (guests were welcomed with a bottle of wine, breakfast was full and clearly made with care, and the overall atmosphere felt warm and attentive). Over the past couple of years, especially since the addition of their second location, I've noticed some changes in the overall experience. The level of personal interaction feels more limited than it used to, and check-in and general hospitality have become more minimal. I do understand how difficult it can be to find and retain good staff in the hospitality industry, and I appreciate the effort that goes into running a business like this. The biggest change for me has been the food and dining experience. They are no longer offering a bottle of wine in the room, but a glass of wine ordered at the bar. Breakfast, which used to be a real highlight is now much more basic and doesn't feel as thoughtfully prepared as it once did. Pricing has also increased, while the overall food offerings have decreased in both variety and quality. One of our favorite extras used to be the charcuterie platter for two, which we would order one each stay and enjoy in our room. We've stopped ordering it because both the portion size and product quality no longer felt consistent with the price or with our earlier experiences. Overall, I still like Deer Creek Inn, our favorite rooms are the Brooks Deluxe Suite and the Celebration room. We will continue to visit occasionally, but it no longer has quite the same special feel it once did for us, so I won't be going as often as I used to.

This location does not not have food, but you can bring your own in. There's a restaurant called Allegheny Grill across the street, along with a pizza shop if you plan to eat. Service was absolutely fantastic as well, everybody was so passionate about their wines, and also making sure you found the perfect glass. I will say, the wine was not the best I've ever had. Most of them seem to run on the sweet side, but that's not to say that might be someone else's taste! I tried the Riverstone red, and it was pretty good, but I think the trick is to get their fruit wines, their pear wine was delicious, it was like dessert! I will absolutely be back here, many times over! The wine is just OK, but the experience is top-notch!

This place had a large selection of wines from dry, semi-dry, sweet, and port wines that had a nice taste of brandy. All of the wines that we tried were very good. The Cab was really smooth. They have a special if you purchase 6 bottles, then a 7th one is $3. They take your most expensive bottle and charge you $3 for that bottle. The lady that waited on us was very nice and helpful. Told us to look around in which everything was cut. I will come back. This place is in a nice location. A nice place across the street is the Allegheny Grille and a hotel across the street from the winery. Very cute place.

We sampled both wine and cider, and both were excellent. I even took home a white wine, which was spectacular. Although I usually prefer reds, I couldn't pass it up. I also grabbed a bottle of the Cayuga for our daughter, which was equally tremendous. While I was busy taking photos of the sign, I noticed a man watching me. I explained that I do this at every spirits location we visit. He introduced himself as Matt and kindly suggested I take pictures from the other side of the property for a better view--and he wasn't wrong. Later, when I got home and researched the place, I learned it had been a farm since 1910, originally owned by the Devenport family until 2017. It briefly passed to another owner before being taken over by the third owners, who I met without realizing at the time. I can't wait to revisit this incredible hidden gem!

So, my husband and I were returning home from a weekend trip and I talked of how I've long wanted…read moreto take a road trip with no specific destination - one where I would just keep an eye out for interesting signs (museums, quirky stores, historic sites, parks, etc.). The kind of things I think about stopping to check out, but don't because I'm focused on the destination. So hubby suggested making one such stop on our way home - and lo and behold - Wilhem Winery. I enjoyed a tasting - very reasonably priced - and selected some wine to take home. The best part may have been the wine-making museum upstairs. Small, but really interesting. The gift shop is fairly typical of a small winery, but I always find it fun to browse. With plenty of seating, I'm sure this is a great place to hang out and sip wine with friends on a nice day.

There's a list of all their wines but she picked out most of our pours while telling a story with the names. A lot of the wines have dirty names, so it was pretty funny.

Even though I'm usually more of a semi-dry wine drinker, I really enjoyed most of their sweet wines. They have a few pomegranate wines which were really good. They also carry some food, like cheese, flavored pretzels, and local products like honey and jams. I left with a few bottles and a smile. Even though it's a far drive from Buffalo, I hope to come back here again.
