We arrived at the winery, I left Howie In The car so I could go to the bathroom and ask what the process is if I have a dog with me. They said once they see me on the patio with my dog they'd bring a menu and a bowl of water. They did not disappoint! They even had a treat for Howie. They were very accommodating, and even offered to bring me samples. I never felt forgotten about! They were able to bring their iPad to me to finish paying. Overall a great experience as a solo traveler with a dog. Thanks for the accompdation! We were also able to walk around the grounds, the ambiance was perfect for a Monday afternoon!

We reserved a table for the Foodie Friday for July 17th at 5:15 pm.  I called the day prior to…read moreconfirm that indoor seating was available due to the heavy smoke in the area and my wife having asthma we wanted to be sure we were indoors.  We were told all online reservations receive inside seating.  When we arrived we were told we could sit outside or at the bar, that all the tables were reserved.   After explaining we made reservation's and our situation again we were told we could sit at a table as long as we were done by 6:30.  That made us feel small and insignificant.  After some back and forth we opted to just sit at the bar.   Once we sat ourselves at the bar an individual started poring some white wine into two glasses, I'm not a white wine drinker, so I said no white for me please.  She proceeded to say she would not be our server, which was odd, considering she just poured wine without even inquiring about why we were here or what we liked.  Then we sat at the bar waiting for service for nearly 10 minutes before someone else came to ask if we were being helped.   We were never told that the food wine paring did not include any wine, the menu with wine listed next to each item was just a suggestion and everything was à la carte.  However if we wanted to taste anything we were welcome to do so... so why not just give a sample of the wine that pairs with each of the food items!   When we explained why we were there to the individual who did wait on us, that would have been a good time to explain that everything was à la carte.  All of our food items, salad, main course and desert came out all at the same time, which was odd, we really didn't have enough room at the bar with all those items at the same time.  It wasn't until we inquired about tasting the wine that goes with the dessert that we would have to "pay a separate additional charge for another glass" that we learned about the wines being à la carte. Not sure why we were treated so negatively at the start, but I asked the gentleman about how we thought the wine pairings with the food was a little odd to us, his response was, "well people may not want to have what the suggested pairing."  Okay got it! We did notice the chief visited the customers sitting at the tables, but not us, again feeling insignificant that were not worthy of her time. But then again we were the only ones sitting at the bar eating, or drinking for that matter.  Maybe the manager, owner, or whoever greeted us was not having a good day. Still very disappointing that we never felt welcomed. Their wines might be good, but we really never got that far and our mood was not in a good place. I recommend just trying their wine, don't do the Friday Foodie event.

What I like about this winery is that their wines are significantly more dry than most Michigan wines which tend to be on the sweet side. We enjoy their bubbly wines as well and the bubbly in the can is a great summer water day option. The ambiance on the tasting room is modern and unique. Be sure to check out their artwork, all a wonderful conversation piece. The employees and owner here are so sweet and take the time to get to know you, a plus for us. We will definitely return next time in town.

I had to force myself to finish the tasting. Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Ice Wine are all varieties I typically enjoy, but these were all a pass.
