They helped suggest drinks and had us try some pretty unique and adventurous stuff that turned out to be great.

Really recommend this place and I hope to be back someday!

Our servers were very friendly, shared interesting info about the wines and were just fun company. We enjoyed all the different wine selections and walked away with a couple of bottles.

The wine was hands down the best we had all weekend, but what truly made this place special was Tom, the owner. From the moment we arrived, Tom welcomed us like old friends. He shared stories, made us laugh, and connected with us on a level that went far beyond customer service. By the end of our visit, we were joking that we wanted to take him home with us! His hospitality was so genuine and heartfelt that 4 out of the 6 people in our group were actually in tears before we left. That's not something you can put a price on, although we happily spent over $300 because every bottle and every moment was worth it. Tom made us feel like family, and that kind of experience is incredibly rare. If you're looking for amazing wine, authentic conversation, and a place where you'll feel truly welcomed, this is it. Thank you, Tom, for helping make my 30th birthday unforgettable. We can't wait to come back!

They are probably having more fun than you are when you come here, and that's what makes it even more charming. Homemade snacks for patrons, cheap and delicious wines (several unique ones you may not expect as well), and just a fun environment. We tried everything from a great shiraz to dirty socks and onion wine. You will not experience anything like this anywhere else in the region. And from the brief tour we received, they have ever more fun flavors nearing ripeness. Mint and jalapeño were among them. This was a later stop in a winery/brewery tour that, in all frankness, we may have never left had it been the first on the list. Do yourself a favor and come meet these fabulous people, and try their fabulous wine. I know I will be eager to do so again.

Their social media is also worth checking out because they host so many fun events like yoga, concerts, private events, and more. Such a peaceful atmosphere with great vibes all around. Can't wait to come back!

I went on a Sunday around 1pm and it was very chill with plenty of seating options under a pergola, picnic tables by the vines, etc. lots of different choices as well as inside by the bar. There are 2 bars on property, 1 inside and 1 by the events center. I'm assuming you can rent the place out for weddings and currently they are under construction in the parking lot. I ordered a caprese salad with chicken. It was just okay. It came in a chipotle "like" bowl and the chicken was minced. The menu said thick slices of heirloom tomatoes but they ended up being cherry tomatoes and the mozzarella was light on the portion. More salad than anything else and was drizzled with balsamic. I don't think it was worth $19 but if I'm paying for convenience, I get it. Just let your customers know that it's cherry tomatoes and not heirloom tomatoes when they are ordering. This is how the menu item reads: Thick slices of heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, and torn mozzarella on top of greens, dressed with balsamic glaze. I opted for a non alcoholic beverage - root beer which was delightful but next time I'm getting the rose. The staff is friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back to order something different on the food menu.

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for wine tasting…read more First, the venue is beautiful with a nice spacious area for dining, a large bar for wine tasting and a large outdoor patio with views of the vineyard. In the main dining area, there is a stage for bands. We walked up to the bar which was full but found a spot to squeeze in. The wine tasting area had several wine servers behind the bar. We waited for quite some time before a wine server greeted us and asked us what we were interested in tasting. We asked what was offered as far as wine tastings as it appeared there were a couple of different wine tasting events taking place. She looked at us with confusion and asked what we were interested in tasting. We read about the cheese and wine pairing so we said we would do that. We asked about each of the wines and she put the wine & cheese sign with descriptions in front of us and asked what we wanted to do. She couldn't really explain the wine herself. Again, confused why she is asking that since it's 5 wines with a 5 cheese pairing, We said we will just go down the list. She brought us complimentary wine glasses and poured the first wine. She also handed us cheese on toothpicks we all had to figure out how to grab from her fingers. Perhaps a plate or napkin? We waited for about 15 minutes before she came back and she looked at us and said no one is helping you? We thought she would but I guess not. We proceeded down the list, jumbling the cheese on toothpicks, and waited for the next tasting but we were forgotten once again. It took a while but we made it through the tasting. I'm a red wine person but the red wines were sour in my opinion. I realize this is WI and not CA or France so obviously the wine is different. We did buy a couple of bottles of their Pony which is a Rose as well as the ale Crescent. We wanted to purchase a couple of the different cheese that we tasted but they didn't have any to purchase. The venue is beautiful and a great place for events. The wine servers definitely need training in how to service guests and learn about the wine. Also, no one wants to eat out of someone's hands. At least provide napkins they can hand the food to the wine taster with a napkin. .
