The place was cheery and bright. Lots of people eating. We came for a wine tasting…read more Service was very slow with two folks behind the bar juggling about six or seven separate groups doing tastings. It took us over an hour to get through the wines and ciders. Slow but nice... enthusiastic even, but so slow. Our feet were hurting from standing. The wines were certainly interesting. No grapes were harmed in any way at this winery. All were made with various berries from the area. I will admit that they have developed some very good berry based wines that are superior to the typical blueberry or huckleberry wine I've tasted. Still it's difficult to mimic a good Pinot Noir without grapes, etc. I could make a better argument for trying their ciders. I enjoyed a few of them. I did not try any sweet wines, so there may be a gem or two amongst those. Interesting place. One try was enough for me.

Think of this not as a winery as you would in the California style. It's a liqueur tasting that enhances the finer agriculture of Vermont. Ginger liqueur is wonderful- sweet with strong flavors and I already knew it would make wonderful mixed drinks. The chocolate liqueur was delicious as was the apple maple wine. All sweet so go with the perspective of how to enrich a wine based cocktail or a champagne cocktail. If you're a dessert wine lover it's definitely for you. We ended up buying ginger and apple maple. Go try out the tasting and decide for yourself!

Kim walked us through each sip and went further in recommending a stellar restaurant in nearby Brattleboro. Kim was so friendly and kind to all five of us, even though she was in the midst of a tasting with another group. This didn't effect the attention she showed us in the slightest. We will be ordering their cranberry wine two months from due to how lovely the experience and the taste was. If you're in the area and would like a variety of dry to sweet fruit wines and liqueurs, please stop by and tell Kim hello for us!

I was at the bar getting a drink and the Captain walked behind the bar and told the couple next to me the man was cut off. he tried to ask why.. my opinion he seemed fine..and the captain said "because i said so" I was floored.. then he said to the couple "move aside your holding up the line". disgusting. I go back to my table and start hearing how a few others were also "cut off". this was a function we all paid to go on and paid for the drinks. I certainly hope this event organizers next year considerers looking elsewhere. People out for a good night should not be treated like this. Like I said.. power trip..

She told us about the wines and welcomed our feedback and let us know what we should try based on our feedback. The option was a 4 wine tasting (note on their website it lists the options of 4, 7, and 10 but only 4 was an option at this location) and it was a good portion of wine probably a half glass and I felt I definitely got my moneys worth in both wine and information! There are private wine tours that I have already planned to go back and do, as someone who would not even call themselves a wine enthusiast, I highly highly reccomend this

The food was... not great. Not terrible either. Technically edible, which I suppose is still the…read morebaseline humanity has agreed upon for restaurants. But probably one of my least favorite meals I've had in a while. I started with the crab rangoon nachos, and honestly, those were the highlight. Definitely different than I expected, but surprisingly good. For my entrée, I got steak, fries, and Asian slaw. The steak itself was tender, and fries are pretty hard to ruin unless you actively resent potatoes, but the overall flavor was just... weird. Not awful, just a mix of spices or seasoning that didn't really work for me. I wouldn't be excited to order it again. Dessert was a Nutella-stuffed cookie pie thing that I split with a friend, and I swear we almost needed an axe to cut into it. Points for durability, I guess. lmao

We were driving up to Laconia when I saw a random sign for this place…read more We arrived for brunch on Sunday around noon and the kitchen was backed up due to some larger parties so we waited for a little at the bar. The bartender and owner, Rick, told us their story and how they had actually just begun doing food and brunch-- what a coincidence we had just seen the sign during our drive! The drinks were great and the conversation even better. We were seated 15ish minutes later on the porch. The wait staff were so pleasant, and the menu is reasonably priced and diverse enough that it doesn't just feel like normal breakfast food. I had the sausage gravy on the biscuit and it was phenomenal. My boyfriend enjoyed the ricotta eggs and a side of bacon that was wonderfully sweet and smokey. We were so excited to have stumbled into this place due to a random little state sign, and our only complaint is that it isn't closer to where we live! TLDR: a must visit if you're anywhere in the area!

They will work with you to create your ideal experience.

But every once in a while I can get her tipsy!! Anyhow, I just knew she love this cozy winery that specializes in artisan table wines. As this classification of wines can have serious fruity overtones, my wife loves them. Excuse me while I reach for a glass of 'Rasberry" !! The Elderberry wine is made from HAND-PICKED FRUIT !! This speaks volumes of how much care they put into their product, and the results speak for themselves. Being the only drinker in my house, unfortunately I have to consume the whole bottle myself usually. But the upside is, I get to consume the whole bottle myself usually... The only complaint about Coffin Cellars is the price...it's simply too low. I hope they get brave enough to charge more for their product so that they can stay in business and keep my supply coming !!! Thanks, Peter from Salisbury
