I didn't know what to expect or how it works. As you walked in, there a waiting area on the right, a host on your left, fill a small questionnaire using a QR code.

It was a fun and mindful experience in which everyone should try it. Our host was Rocket, she was friendly, humorous, patient and knowledgeable. It is a great place to bring your entire family. Come check them out.

​ A Total Small-Town Gem! ​If you're looking for the perfect…read morespot to kick back, this place is an absolute gem. They have managed to create an atmosphere that feels both incredibly lively and completely relaxed. ​The Drinks: There is truly something for everyone's palate here. Whether you're a die-hard craft beer fan, looking for something light and crisp, or prefer non-beer options, their drink menu is impressively well-rounded. ​The Food: Unlike a lot of breweries where food is an afterthought, the menu here is fantastic. Everything we tried was delicious and paired perfectly with the drinks. ​The Vibe (Inside & Out): They've nailed the layout. Inside, it's a chill, comfortable atmosphere with multiple TVs going--perfect for catching a game. But if you step outside, it opens up into a great outdoor space complete with live music/great tunes and fun yard games to include sand volleyball and cornhole. ​It's the ultimate place to hang out with family and friends, grab a great meal, and just unwind. We are so lucky to have a spot like this nearby--we have and will continue to be regular fixtures here!

The service is great. The food is really good however, the chicken quesadilla is not the best. I…read morehad an issue of hardly any chicken being in the quesadilla and that was a while ago. A couple of weeks ago, myself & my husband were there for the Renaissance Fair (THAT WAS SPECTACULAR!!) . As I was waiting in line a lady came up and complained about the chicken quesadilla, which had hardly any meat. So I'd wouldn't recommend that particular item in the menu. That is about the only negative thing I can say about this place. We really enjoy coming to STABLE CRAFT brewing. We've been coming here since we moved here in 2017 and have watched them grow to a spectacular place..

This place is a gem, and a great way to explore the local wine scene without driving all over the region.

The next day, we stopped by Cave Hill Farms Brewery for some well-earned food and drinks. This was my third visit, and overall, it was another good experience. The pretzel bites and nachos were both solid, and we ordered two different chicken nugget options--one super mild (no sauce) and the other packing a nice spicy kick. The beer selection was great, and chatting with Wendy behind the counter was a highlight. She's the kind of person every brewery or restaurant needs--funny, welcoming, and just plain awesome. Only a couple of minor misses: they weren't offering beer flights because the dishwasher was down (I even offered to help wash the glasses, but no go), and they were out of shredded pork, which would've been great on the nachos. Still, nothing that would keep me from coming back. There are a lot of great spots in the area, but Cave Hill Farms Brewery remains one of my favorites. I'll definitely be back for visit #4.

From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the winery and its selection of wines. Rachel guided us through our tasting experience, and she was fantastic. She mentioned that she had been working there for about a year, which honestly surprised us because she was so confident, personable, and entertaining. Her sense of humor and excellent customer service made the experience even more enjoyable. The winery itself is absolutely beautiful. The décor, atmosphere, lighting, furniture, and bar setup were all thoughtfully designed and created an upscale yet comfortable environment. I couldn't stop admiring the space. We also had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people during our visit--a group of siblings and their spouses. In an incredibly kind gesture, they paid for our meal and wished to remain anonymous. I couldn't leave without expressing my gratitude for their generosity. What stood out most was how engaging the staff was. They kept conversations flowing, shared laughs with guests, and created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made everyone feel at home. While the food wasn't quite as impressive as the wine and service, it was still enjoyable and certainly not bad. Overall, this was the best winery experience I've had, and I look forward to returning whenever I have the chance.

We were specifically searching for a dog-friendly place we could bring the pups, and not only do they welcome the well-behaved fur babies but have one of their own too! Built with Jeffersonian architecture, the property is modern yet attractive and feels like you're visiting a historic property. There is a large event space, a spacious tasting room, and ample outdoor seating which is mostly shaded to enjoy even on a hot sunny day. My wife and I both enjoyed flights of wine and followed them with a glass of our favorites. The flights are served nicely and every pour is in its own glass, no reusing or cheap plastic cups here. Service was great with very nice staff. It was a peaceful outdoor experience and we really enjoyed just sitting and relaxing. I would absolutely come back!
