The wall mural on the deck is very nice. I want to come back when the weather is better to sit out on the deck. The people that were there were from the town. They were all very friendly. If you have a smile on I'm sure you'll make friends and enjoy the time spent there. We didn't taste all the wines while we were there. Our favorite though was the Wagon wheel. The sparkling wine was also very good. I really loved that it wasn't pretentious. Thank God no wine snobs. This is a place to come, converse and consume. I look forward to stopping in again.

The employee Gladys was very friendly and knowledgeable about their wines and let us sample many of them to see what we liked. She had a group of friends at the winery and offered to let us join them. It was a beautiful day so we opted to each have a glass of wine and sit on the patio overlooking the lake and vineyard. This was our first visit, we bought several bottles to take home and plan on being repeat customers.

They do not allow you to order food and bring it to their large deck, not even if you get it togo. Which was very disappointing as we had a group of 6 and were planning to spend the afternoon there. We moved to the main building patio to eat. Our server did not enjoy her job. When we asked for napkins after our food arrived, she loudly said "you guys are being high maintenance". Just unnecessary, and she had attitude quite a few times. Our tickets had an auto gratuity added of 20%, she tried to hide this by giving us tickets that were not itemized, until someone asked for it to be itemized and some of us had already added an additional tip. I guess when you know you're getting a tip you don't need to be friendly or attentive.

When they brought the food after not checking on how we liked the wine we asked if we could have something else. It turns out the wine we were served wasn't even what we ordered. We asked to switch to red since the whites were overly sweet. The red was drinkable but not good. We aren't from the area and definitely felt like we were treated that way. The pizza was ok but the nachos we ordered were terrible.

Each time we stop in, I feel like it gets better. I'll admit that the few times before, I wasn't super impressed with the wine, but this time...YES! So much improvement! I had a flight of the drier options and liked every one! We got several pizzas for all of us and they each were delicious. The hot honey one especially. Speaking of hot honey, I stock up on the Angle Acres Habanero Honey because it puts every other hot honey that I've ever tried to shame. SO good. Things are a little more pricier than I'd expect, but there are not a lot of other options out that way as well. Looking forward to the next time already!

You can stop in for a tasting or sit down at a table for a glass or two. You can actually watch the winemakers make the wine as you sip your glass as the tanks are in the main room with the bar. It makes the whole process come together. They also have live music on some weekends and are available as a rental space. My mother is from Marceline, MO (another small town on Hwy 36). One take, after visiting my gma, we drove over to Macon to check out this winery. It was beautiful inside! The women who provided our wine tasting was very knowledgeable and could tell us about each wine as well as the history of the winery. I am a sweet wine person, so I enjoyed (and bought!) Duck Creek Red. My mom is an apple fan, so she bought a bottle of the Dry Apple wine. Can't wait to go back!
