The longer version: Things that will keep me from returning to a winery are an inhospitable host or wines I don't enjoy. There's nothing keeping me from returning to Farmeier. Our host was very entertaining and personable. He explained his product throughly, answered questions and offered lots of information. We tasted all of his wines. I found several that I liked and we left with two bottles, a dry and a sweet. They have events throughout the year, including an Ugly Sweater Christmas Party coming up in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to a return visit soon.

I only really went into the tasting room but it was unique looked a bit like an old saloon but inside a barn and thanks to the rain it was cool enough to be tolerable with 35+ people crammed at the counter. The wines- i tried two of them and learned exactly how much of a beer person i am i tried most of them in an attempt to get my wife a bottle she wouldn't hate. I found one that was tolerable River bluffs white ... They all kinda taste like metal and im not sure if that's on purpose or accident either way id rather have a riesling. Its an interesting place and while i cant confirm it i hear they have a bed and breakfast so yeah there's something. So its an experience for sure but i don't plan on a second trip myself

Each time we stop in, I feel like it gets better. I'll admit that the few times before, I wasn't super impressed with the wine, but this time...YES! So much improvement! I had a flight of the drier options and liked every one! We got several pizzas for all of us and they each were delicious. The hot honey one especially. Speaking of hot honey, I stock up on the Angle Acres Habanero Honey because it puts every other hot honey that I've ever tried to shame. SO good. Things are a little more pricier than I'd expect, but there are not a lot of other options out that way as well. Looking forward to the next time already!

They do not allow you to order food and bring it to their large deck, not even if you get it togo. Which was very disappointing as we had a group of 6 and were planning to spend the afternoon there. We moved to the main building patio to eat. Our server did not enjoy her job. When we asked for napkins after our food arrived, she loudly said "you guys are being high maintenance". Just unnecessary, and she had attitude quite a few times. Our tickets had an auto gratuity added of 20%, she tried to hide this by giving us tickets that were not itemized, until someone asked for it to be itemized and some of us had already added an additional tip. I guess when you know you're getting a tip you don't need to be friendly or attentive.
