Ordered the three cheese pizza but pleasantly surprised by the sun-dried tomatoes (maybe we didn't read the menu board completely!). Drinks offerings were unique (granted we do not frequent wineries) and our selections were flavorful and refreshing: sangria and lemonade slushes and a cotton candy grape. The winery had live music...all enjoyed the musician. Facility is beautiful and spacious with good acoustics for an open outdoor venue. Note: Order food/drinks inside before sitting down.

I had high hopes for Ferrante's after visiting several other wineries in the Geneva area, but…read moreunfortunately, this was the most underwhelming experience of our girls' weekend trip. The dining area was extremely loud and noisy, which made it difficult to have a conversation. Our table was in a small nook of the restaurant overlooking the gift shop, and the space felt cluttered and more like a storage area than a dining area. There was one other table in this area. Compared to the beautiful settings and atmosphere we've experienced at other local wineries, this venue did not impress us. We started with the bruschetta bread and the spinach artichoke dip, and both were very good. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal did not live up to the start. We had stopped at another winery beforehand for drinks and really wished we would have stayed there for dinner instead. There were five of us dining, and none of us left feeling wowed by our meals. I ordered the Gnocchi Brue, which is described as "tender chunks of filet mignon simmered in a Cabernet wine demi-glace with mushrooms and onions, served over potato gnocchi with Gorgonzola cheese." Unfortunately, the meat was very tough and did not seem like filet mignon. I also felt the Gorgonzola cheese in my meal did not complement the dish. The appetizers were the highlight, but overall, the atmosphere, dining experience, and entrées fell short, especially compared to the other wineries we visited in the Geneva area.

I went to leave a review and couldn't believe my eyes when I read some of the negative ones! I wish…read moremore wineries were like this place. My group and I arrived and immediately placed our drink order. I was tempted to also purchase some of the adorable merchandise they had on display but resisted. I noticed they had a sparkling bubbly wine tower for only $8.00! I immediately ordered that and added an additional glass for $2.00. For the price, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I received decent pours and enjoyed every kind of wine I received. One of the friends I was with didn't love her wine flight, but her wines were semi-sweet and she was preferring the sweeter ones. We sat outside and found a table immediately. I always appreciate a place that can easily accommodate large groups. I didn't order any food, but I really wish I had because the selections on the menu sounded delicious!

I brought them all up here for a ladies' retreat. I had bragged about the place as we had been there yearly every previous year for the past five years. I was disappointed particularly with the slight to the people who she said owned the condo where we were staying. I actually knew of the owners. And she DID call herself the wine bi$%h, but was quite put out when one of our ladies repeated it back to her. It's not a big deal. I just won't be taking our group there anymore. Pictures below are the owner's requested "proof" that we were there.

The vibe at South River is definitely unique! The winery is in an old church, and their patio…read moreoverlooks the extensive grape arbors. This was the most crowded of the wineries we visited, and the patios were getting a bit cluttered, as there weren't really trash cans or anybody bussing the tables. I enjoyed the white flight, the Temptation was my favorite, and we shared a fruit and cheese plate with an apple, crackers, bread and a fantastic aged chedder. The apple was served whole, with a steak knife to carve it up yourself, on a Styrofoam plate, so didn't quite match the scenery and overall vibe, and a steak knife is not the right tool to cut a huge honeycrisp apple. So it was a nice snack, but could have been done a little better. FYI - the actual winery is not super accessible - steps up to the front door, the bathrooms are down a flight of stairs, and the outdoor areas for enjoying your wine are mostly accessed by stairs as well.

They have fun with the church theme with a cardboard cut out nun you can take your photo with. Exiting the back of the church you come upon a couple giant flight of stairs that could be a problem for some visitors. These stairs lead to a seating area up on a platform that feels like you are perched on part of a castle overlooking the fields of grapes. I must confess I'm not a wine expert. I enjoyed the flight of dry reds I ordered. My friend ordered the charcuterie board which had a huge wedge of bread and a very tasty cheese we kept begging for more tastes of.

The wine was excellent, especially loved the Merlot and Pinot Noir. The winery itself was great, small, quaint, a very personal atmosphere. Having a fire going in the fireplace on the chilly April day was a nice touch. The staff? Knowledgeable, friendly, fun. Made for a very personal experience. I liked that they even came and talked to us and when we had questions they sent the winemaker/owner over. Can't wait to return and share this new place with friends! Nice job Emerita.

Not bad for Ohio wines though. The location, and the place for that matter, is pretty rustic. The woods are close by in the back. The wine bar is small and can get quite crowded. Behind the wine bar are tables where you can enjoy a glass or bottle. I've been here three times and have had the same person at the wine bar each time. She's very nice and tries very hard to help with the wines. I was trashing one of the other area wineries in discussing her wines, which I believe contributed to a 5% discount on 6 bottles (not a standard practice) and no sales tax. It probably didn't hurt that I bought a couple of the Reserves. So on customer service alone, this place is a winner. As a bonus, they participate in the Ice Wine Festival every March (two weekends, usually the first two). They have very good Ice Wine, but it is a bit more expensive than South River Winery's. Definitely want to include this place on the circuit through the Grand River Valley.

First off first thing thru the door this place smells of mold and mildew so bad I couldn't even stay inside . But while I was trying to wait with my friends so they could get a sample ( I didn't want anything from a place that smells like this ). The staff was so rude and unprofessional it wasn't even funny. I eventually had to go outside I couldn't take the smell a few of my friend s also had to go outside due to the smell . This place is unremarkable so please do not waste your time or your money !! If I could leave zero stars I would but you can't !
