We love Flag Hill, so much so that we joined their Case Crew club…read more While we enjoy a few of their wines, we really love their spirits, in particular the Maple Bourbon. While their product can be found at the NH state liquor stores, I really recommend that you plan a visit. The location is beautiful and on a nice day, you can enjoy sitting out on their patio. (note they are building a new visitor center). I recommend a tasting on the patio with some cheese/crackers for an enjoyable time. You can also do a tour of the facility as well. Check out the website and you will also find a variety of special events such as brunches, dinnners, and all paired with the wines and sprits produced on site. Give them a try!

I was even greeted when I arrived and was helped with figuring out the best configuration of tables and the space for the event. Everyone enjoyed this place and it was perfect for what I had hoped to be a lovely celebration. Highly recommend!

Of course the view of Pepperrell Cove is breathtaking, but the real star of the show here is the food. We were able to custom tailor the menu to be exactly what we wanted to serve, and it was all made on-site from fresh ingredients - something that is not easy to find at event venues. My family is Italian, from New York and hard to please when it comes to food, and they were all raving about every single dish that was served. Donna's assistance leading up to the event in coordinating with vendors and her hands-on presence during event night made the process seamless. I didn't have a wedding planner / day-of coordinator, and ended up not needing one - she made everything happen perfectly, even making sure our elderly guests had easy access to their seats.

Being a NH local, as soon as we toured The View we knew it was the venue for us. Donna & team made every step of the process exceed expectations - from our tasting to the wedding day it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The food was incredible, thank you Chef Eides! We had people complementing it for weeks after the wedding (the house made lemon cheesecake, wow). We wish we could go back and re-live our day over and over again because it was that good. The service and execution that Donna, Eides, and the entire Pepperrell Cove staff offer is next level. We can't recommend this venue enough. Thank you SO MUCH for making it the best day of our lives. Taylor & Justin Jones
