Alloro has beautiful views whether you sit inside or outdoors, the beautiful full of pollinators, just added to the beauty. It was such a treat and they have events going on to enhance the experience like enjoying chestnuts grown on their property in the winter. This is a must try and the employees are amazing. We had the privilege to interact with Michael, Ryan, and other team members. Everyone was friendly and fun.

First time at this winery and it was very beautiful, the views are so nice and the vibe is lovely…read more The wine and bread and snacks were very good. The bread was a little salty for my taste but it's very good. Our server was very very nice and I enjoyed his service. However there was another worker there that I found to be a bit rude. We had already gotten checked in by our server and had asked to sit at the table with the better view and he had already set it up and was just get it g water when another server interrupted us had asked us our name/ info, and claimed we had no reservation (which we did and we even showed her to email to prove it) and we tried to explain to her that we had already been helped and checked in but she was talking over us and ignoring us and saying what we wanted wasn't available even though we already had it. Overall not sure what that was about bc the entire time we stayed there till closing there were open tables

Fast forward to today, we own a car and decided it was time to find a more local option. After visiting Hawks View this past weekend I can say we've accomplished that and then some. This place sits firmly in the sweet spot of not being too "dinky" or small and not being too stuffy or corporate. I know we all have our preferences, I just like for my environment to be laid back or relaxed. The wines are fantastic here. Keep in mind, I'm no connoisseur of fine wine but I do know good from bad. Beyond the wine, we love this place due to the view (of course) but also the fact you can parlay your wine allocation pick up with a rotating menu of food. Makes for a great little weekend getaway or drive in the car.

This vineyard is so special; not like any other tasting experience in the region! The wine is…read moresuperb, the charcuterie was delicious, the private and intimate nature of the experience were unmatched! The owner, Diane, is an inspiration; she not only farms and maintains her entire vineyard, but she is also the wine maker and proprietor of the entire establishment! She is 100% responsible for all aspects of her operation, from vine to bottle, and everything in between! Talk about sustainability and quality control! All of her hard work shows in each bottle of her wine selection! Diane, personally, walks you through the wine tasting, pouring, serving, and answers questions about each vintage! The views of the vineyard, as your sipping wines, and enjoying fresh, local charcuterie, were truly magical! I highly suggest this venue, for anyone looking for an out-of-the-ordinary EXTRAORDINARY wine tasting experience!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Nemarniki Vineyard is the first place I ever had a wine…read moretasting and I was SO glad I had it here. It is seriously a hidden gem. Diane is a wonderful host and she has a passion for wine making. The wine tasting was small, intimate, and special. I loved that she surprised us with some snacks and food she made. Diane gave us information about how the wine was made and specific notes of the wine and just overall did a great job. She's extremely friendly and reminds me of my family. I want more people to come experience what I did at Nemarniki Vineyard. My experience nothing short of incredible and I cannot wait to potentially come back in the future. The views from the house were stunning, and the atmosphere she created was beautiful. The wine tasting was $40/pp and you can book it through the phone. I was first skeptical when booking since there were only 2 reviews on Yelp but I'm glad I took a chance on this place. The wines were fantastic and I would highly suggest coming here versus other wineries/vineyards.

The wines are very good to excellent. We both chose their home flight, which paired a chardonnay and a Pinot noir served side by side. Interesting concept. We also ordered the charcuterie board which was amazing (pricey, too!). At the end, we decided to join their club because it just makes sense. If you go, you may decide that, too. It was a special experience and memorable. I recommend.

I had the farmers cheese and it was good and a large enough serving i could have shred it. People around us ordered the full board and it was massive enough for 2 very hungry people or 3/4 people sharing. The staff was amazing! Very friendly and so willing to help you pick a wine and provided table service. The sparkling Blanc de Blanc was so amazing I broke my wine budget just to take a bottle home to my very picky man. He gave it the thumbs up, huge win!!, and it will become a splurge wine for us; we love dry sparkling wine.

This time, I brought my friends from Hillsboro, one who is hesitant about most wines, especially reds. This place convinced her that reds can be good, so I take a lot of pride in being able to show her and her husband this gem. They said they'll definitely take their parents here too. The views are amazing, the people are friendly, and tipping is very much optional. I recommend doing the tasting and then getting a glass and strolling the property. There are adirondak chairs out front and picnic tables out back. They'll open up the glass folding windows in the tasting room on breezy days. There are beautiful flowers all over the property. Some of the wines are named after the owners' dogs - Delilah's Cuvee is my favorite!

It is not huge, but its octagonal design makes you feel you have your own space to enjoy the spectacular view and delicious wine. Our server was knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Another small family winery with stand out wines, we had a great time tasting several varieties…read morewhile engaging in conversation with our host. We visited during a Wine Share month, a great way to discover new wineries without any risk. The Garden Cottage tasting room on the lower level of the property was not open in February so we enjoyed our tasting in the home. literally. We sat in the living room on couches around a coffee table while the adjacent dining room was being utilized by a party of 8. it was a great vibe, warm and inviting. Our host explained they use regenerative farming and winemaking processes. Their wines are aged in clay amphora casks, something we had never heard of, which imparts unique, earthy characteristics. Since the clay allows for a slow oxidation, the wine has softer flavors without the oak derived butter, vanilla and spice flavors. It's a middle ground between the oxidation of oak bottles and the more sterile stainless steal. We enjoyed the education and the wines! Would love to come back in the spring or summer for the full Garden Cottage experience. Since this is a small, family owned winery, tastings are by appointment only. Their website has the link.

They have some outdoor seats some covered some not. Comfy couches inside to relax and sip your ciders and charcuterie snacks. Service was great and fast despite the line of folks flowing in. They have cider slushies in a few flavors to choose from. The flights are a great way to see what hits your palate and you want to try it take a growler home. This place is very clean and the grounds are well manicured and taken care of. The Brazilian lime aid is my favorite as it tastes just like you're eating a key lime pie! I did like the hardchata as well, it's creamy and blast you with cinnamon. We had to grab a 6 pack of the Hard Brazilian lime aid to take home to enjoy. Fantastic find!
