They pair local wine with a unique animal encounter, which made for such a fun afternoon. I tried a few different wines but loved the raspberry jalapeño the most. It embodied sweet and heat for the perfect flavor combination. The scenery there is quaint with rustic charm that creates a sweet rural oasis. Another aspect that enhanced my time there was that the staff had a plethora of knowledge to share about the yaks, which I found very interesting. I keep telling everyone about this place and can't wait to go back in the fall.

She gave us great directions on where to walk around the ranch so we could see some of the animals and the birdd. I chose to have a glass of the pawpaw wine which was very refreshing and we took our wines out and walked around the lavender fields and saw some of the yaks, but they were pretty far out. We also got to see the sheep and the pigs which were very friendly and adorable. We saw the nest for the purple martins and walked around the pond. They also had a food truck which my friend ordered a small charcuterie board from and we took inside to enjoy because it was pretty humid outside. There also some gifts along with yak yarn and alpaca yarn that you can purchase. This place was amazing to visit and I'm so excited that we got to check something out that was really not that far from us. A definite must do.

I had noticed the signs in the area letting me know there was a rural winery in Markleville a…read morecouple years ago. I bookmarked it then and finally decided to seek it out after spending the day in nearby Pendleton. The winery (which is adding an RV Camp) is easy to find and had plenty of parking in front of the building. I liked that they have a ramp as well as stairs to the entrance. Once inside, there is a large room filled with wine related merchandise, tables for visitors to enjoy their purchases, and a central tasting counter (with seats) so that visitors can sample five wines for $5 or free if you purchase at least one bottle. I was the only early afternoon visitor while there so the owner and I had an enjoyable conversation about wine and mushroom hunting. He grows many of his own grapes (any bottle with "Estate" in the name is from their property), and gets much of the fruit locally. I believe only the white wines used California grapes (?). Anyway, I went through the tastings and noted that I liked the Blank Blanc (10% ABV) right away. The owner suggested it was a dry moscato (I never had heard of one of those.) Very pleasant and tasty. However, after the first tasting, I kept noticing that when I went to take my first sip of each new wine (including a vignole and three fruit wines), I was greeted with a harsh alcohol smell before each wine passed my lips. I commented after the vignole to the owner, but nothing helpful was suggested. Sadly, only the Apple & Cinnamon didn't also have that strong alcohol smell to me. That one was a delightful cider tasting wine, but the finish was too cinnamon for me to drink a full glass. I generally enjoyed my visit and did purchase the Blank Blanc. When I got home, I found that the flute glasses that were used for the tasting are intended for minimizing the bubbles on a sparkling wine. I wondered if the owner had used a dessert wine glass or a standard wine glass instead, would the strong scent have been dispersed in a more pleasing way. I hope that the owner reads this and can try making a change. Review #3561

Busy night- crowded- so no substitutions or additions available on the pizza & limited menu available. 45 minute wait but the awesome band kept our attention! Our pepperoni pizza was delicious & cooked perfectly! Our son ordered a gluten free crust & it was served differently than ours (inside a thin foil pan) - the crust wasn't done & was almost like a tortilla (had to fold it to eat it) - not recommended. Nice concrete patio area & more tables near the bldg - lots of seating area. Pretty skies & a beautiful country feeling to this venue with the vineyards. Only thing that was a negative was the looong walk from parking area to the tables/stage area. Only a few handicapped spots (all taken early). A small shuttle or a few 6/person golf carts would be nice additions for the property owners to help seniors & disabled patrons have an easier option. They did have optional valet pkg for 20.00 (would probably do that next time). Also-the food truck that was mentioned when I called a few days before wasn't there for some reason??? Seems like they should have more than 1 food truck for such a large crowd- would have lessened pressure on the kitchen & the wait times for pizza. Mallow Run (a competitor) has several food truck options at every event.

Spencer Farm Winery is a small local winery in Noblesville, Indiana. The tasting and retail space…read moreis a renovated farm house located on Spencer Farm property. The farm house is accessible by a gently sloping ramp flanked by living grape vines. The tasting room is small, clean and cozy. Seating extends to a covered wrap around porch and welcoming lawn seating. Handicapped parking is staged near farm house entrance. Parking is free. The grounds are beautifully planted and cared for. The selection of wine ranges from dry reds, dry whites, roses, semi sweets, and sweets. At this time, there is a non-alcoholic Pinot Grigio available. Some snacks, prepackaged sandwiches, and cheese boards are available for purchase. Cheese boards are somewhat expensive because the meats are locally sourced from Smoking Goose and cheeses are more premium. Customers are welcome to bring their own picnics and snacks. No outside alcohol is permitted. On summer weekends, live music is often scheduled. Sitting in pleasant surroundings with a nice picnic and cold bottle of wine is a great way to unwind. Food trucks are often on site offering a varying selection on those weekends. The farm store is on the property. It's currently strawberry season in Indiana. Spencer's lets you pick your own or purchase pre picked berries as available. Baked goods, ice cream, fudge, and cold drinks are among items available.
