There's a great selection here of affordable and higher end wines that makes it easy for everyone to find something.

We tried different wines, had one of their flights and their charcuterie board. The outside seating was perfect and the weather was so good for the occasion. I had the "I'll have what she's having" flight and all 3 were really good. I'm not normally a bubbles girlie but they were really good. I really appreciated the option to purchase a "taste" of the different wines/sparklings. Most places you go to you have to get a glass and hope you like it. I also loved the charcuterie board because it was a create your own meat and cheeses. They also had other snacks and treats to choose from. I will definitely be back to try more wines and for another great experience.

I was hoping to see Albert(a) Wine-Stein aka, Amanda and she did not disappoint! So happy to catch up with her after almost 4 years. I know, I should get out more! They have a great opportunity to select from 50% of wine bottles so Michelle and I selected a Franciscan CabSav from San Miguel, Ca just south of Napa near the Paso Robles area. Just an EXCELLENT choice we concluded, you will NOT be disappointed with this selection with hints of black cherry, carmel and coconut. We settled into one of their many rooms and selected a table where we could order from their menu with a nice selection of appetizers, salads, hand helds and small bites. We shared the Crab Rangoon app & each had the Harvest Salad. All together is was an excellent combination. It was a warm pre-spring evening and just a perfect finish for memorable outing. Kudos to Erin and her support team for making our visit an experience to remember.

One downside was learning that pets are not allowed inside--even though they don't serve food--which is always a bit of a letdown for us. That said, Luna was welcome on the outdoor patio... unfortunately, it was about 20 degrees outside. We didn't let the cold ruin the experience, though. They have patio heaters and warm drinks available, which helped a lot. We grabbed comfy outdoor chairs right next to the Christmas tree, and the setting was really nice, especially with the water view just steps away. It never got overly busy, but there was a steady flow of people coming and going, which gave it a relaxed, lively feel without being crowded. We both ordered the Hardywood Gingerbread Stout (9.2% ABV), which was their only holiday beer available at the time--they mentioned they had another seasonal option but had already sold out. The beer was pretty good, though definitely strong. We actually left to check out the only other bar in town, but it turned out to be closed, so we circled back to The River Room for another round. Two gingerbread stouts came out to $14 total which felt very reasonable. They do charge a small membership fee (around $1) since it's a private club, and we were told that fee goes toward animal conservation, which is a nice bonus. Overall, despite the cold and the indoor pet restriction, we really enjoyed the ambiance, holiday decor, and relaxed vibe--and would definitely stop back again when the weather is warmer.

This time, my Sangria was awesome...meaning, it had a ton of fruit (Mango?), and the Red Wine even had a sweet flavor to it. In the past, it was a fruitless Sangria...which was very disappointing. My husband liked his Pinot Noir too. For appetizer, we tried this small Hummus plate, which came with this Dip and Olives...all of which were amazing, especially for its friendly pricing. The place was also nicely air conditioned, with great overhead music. The only downfall was that there wasn't a waiter/waitress. This bartender had to do it all, it seems. He was friendly, and did it well...but thought they could use a waiter/waitress, given the number of folks waiting to be served. In any case, thought I should bump up the ratings to 4 stars. This place is a Must-Have at this Riverwalk location (a perfect pitstop after a long walk!), so I hope it continues to thrive.

I absolutely enjoyed every pour.  Their wines are remarkable choices that would be great for a dinner party or holiday gathering. The wines paired very well with our charcuterie board.  If you are ever looking for a getaway where you get to see the beautiful foothill views,  Take a trip to Tryon, NC and visit this location.  You will enjoy the vibes, wine, scenery and everything this vineyard has to offer. This was a beautiful tasting with great customer service. The ambiance was just as beautiful as the service! Again, hats off to Rebecca, Eric and the winemaker!!!!

It said online it could take a couple days to get approved , but we had no problems just bringing him and his vaccinations. They seem strict about seeing vaccination history so I knew he would be safe and not get sick from other dogs! The check in process was quick and easy! Since it was not the best weather wise, it was only us and one other group there, but a friend said it does get crowded but never too crowded! They had a ton of picnic tables outside and beach volleyball courts. They have 2 sections outside, one is off leash and one is on leash. Inside is also on leash, so some options there! The bar is accessible no matter what section you are in, and they had a full bar. There were also some TVs inside with sports on. The facility seemed SO clean for a dog bar, I was impressed by that. The bartenders were also SO nice asking about our dog and his breed and making sure we had everything we needed. The facility seemed secure with lots of doors and magnetic locks so no dogs could escape. They did have brunch and it was delicious!!! I got the avacado toast.
