Beautiful winery, we drove into the driveway and looks like a house. The backyard is a hill and you can see the vineyards. The inside was very spacious, suited for large groups and private parties. The patio and more seating in the backyard. They serve finger foods, pizza, and charcuterie boats. The bar is on the left as soon as you enter the building, review the list of wines they offer, you can do a flight or by glass. They don't offer tasting, but can give you a small sample prior to choosing a glass. Service was great, they gave me a pager for the food. We had a carrier for my wine and open seating anywhere. Also bottles are available for purchase if you liked the wine.

They were super easy to work with, affordable, kind, caring, & always attentive. Unlike most venues they have no requirements for vendors. So you can control your costs easier. The decor room is massive & you can grab anything you need to fill a spot you missed or to decorate the entire space. I would 100% recommend to everyone & I would choose them again if I plan another barn wedding. Thank you Heartland Country Barn for the gorgeous space & helping my daughter have her dream wedding!

I'm sure that it's not easy to run a winery that uses no grapes, but instead focuses solely on…read morearonia berries as its principal ingredient. Couple that with an off-the-beaten-path location down a gravel road, and you might thing that being the server here would be a very lonely occupation. Not so, if our visit was any indication of a typical Sunday afternoon at Native 32. While not overwhelmed with traffic, the level of patronage was certainly respectable. The wine, taken for what it is, was enjoyable. It's not every day that I drink an aronia berry vintage, and it might be some time until I'm ready for another. When that day comes, though, I'll know where to go.

This venue definitely fits in with the recent rustic wedding trend. It's barn-style on the outside, and the indoor area includes lots of exposed wood with some finer touches (nice chandelier-style lighting, a fireplace, a bar, ect.). It also has a gorgeous outdoor area if you wanted to host an outdoor ceremony that features a patio and patio seating, so your reception can spill outside if the weather permits. The indoor area also includes a playroom for kids with a tv (genius), very nice bathrooms, and a built-in bar.

The fries are pretty basic, decent enough, and not those new gross standard issue ones with the coating a lot of restaurants have gone to. Grows: The menu is only available on the chalkboard, and with no descriptions or details, which meant two things: 1. we had to ask for clarification and the server seemed slightly annoyed with that and 2. We didn't know all the ingredients so ended up with some we'd have had taken off (or not ordered the dish if it that wasn't possible) The service was pretty slow and it didn't seem like it was very busy. My friend's steak was super small and just okay. Overall, I'd give them another chance, because maybe the service aspects were not typical. As far as the menu, maybe the next person won't mind questions.

After looking at 10+ barns, Wishing Hills Barn stood out far beyond any of the other options within 50 miles. I was very impressed at how well the staff worked with our other vendors. They always responded to my emails and phone calls promptly. I would also note that they did not have any hidden fees. They were very upfront and I always felt that they were honest about their prices. The co-owners were professional, but also friendly. They listened and always made me feel heard and supported. There are 2 things I would note though. First, the acoustics in the barn are not ideal (especially if you have 200+ guests like we did). This might be something your DJ or band can address, but should be taken into consideration. Second, minus the first few rows, the venue prefers to use benches instead of chairs outside for your guests. If you have an older crowd this may not be comfortable or convenient for them. All-in-all, I have no regrets. My wedding was everything I hoped for and more. I truly believe this venue was a big part of that.

Cabins can bunk 8-10 personnel in each and there are adjacent bathrooms/showers. Great looking lodge for meetings and plenty of activities to choose from. There is also a "River Lodge" that can hold up to 50 people. Our group of 22 really enjoyed Paintball and the Super Swing and there are various games and other activities to engage in as well as athletic courts to compete/play on. Great trails to hike and if you are fortunate, you can see the Bald Eagles along the river trail. Very good facilities. Groups can either bring their own food or you can pay extra and the camp will feed the group in their dining hall which is pretty nice as well. Got to meet the Camp Director; Jon Classen, who was very engaging and helpful. Enjoyed chatting with him about the camp and its' history.
