Got habanero cheese and crackers, dill pickle jerky and toffee. Had read reviews but didn't know what food offerings they had. This was enough to nibble while sipping wine.

Bought a bottle to enjoy at home. The two ladies were helpful and friendly. So glad we stopped, highly recommend.

After arriving in the Blue Ridge area Friday we were on the hunt for a little family fun and found…read morethis gem on Yelp! The vineyard is kid and dog friendly so we decided we'd go explore! Bear came with us and was the perfect pup just chilling and loving all of the attention! The service was great we went to the counter and ordered our drinks. My kiddo even got to have a blue raspberry slushie which made her night she ended up with blue lips and teeth too! They also have a gift shop full of adorable merchandise: cups with the bear claw logo etched on (I got a wine cup lol! ) , cork bracelets (we got two), dog clothes, goat milk soap, t shirts etc. They have lots of seating options indoor tables as well as lots of tables with little fire pits outside and lots of games. On the weekends, they have live music. When we visited artist Russ Stills was there. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. He even came around the audience meeting and greeting with each table and taking requests. This is a fantastic spot to grab a drink and listen to good music and take in the beauty of the vineyard. 10 out of 10 for sure!

What a nice surprise! I grew up in McMinn County and had no idea this restaurant existed…read more A close friend from Chattanooga suggested Silver Springs for lunch, as it's roughly midway between our homes in Knoxville and Chattanooga. We sampled several wines and were pleasantly surprised at how good they were. My friend chose the Moussaka for her meal, while I selected the Lemon Grilled Chicken. Both were excellent! We were a little confused initially because you order both food & wine at the counter, then food is delivered to your table. It was a little congested with people not understanding the process. Overall a fun experience, and I'm sure we'll be back!

Highly recommend this winery! We'll stop by again to enjoy the wine!

Where to start? This is the only winery I'm aware of that offers five tastings for free! 5…read moreadditional tastings cost $5. GA. Winery is open 362 days per year. Parking is free and plentiful. The grounds are beautiful, you can pick muscadines ($15) and they sell everything from watermelon salsa with free samples, to Cherry Cola wine (black cherries and sweet red for $18.95). I'm partial to sweet so I was in heaven! There weren't many patrons on Labor Day eve. It's a nice spot to be romantic, gather with friends or celebrate solo. They have a nice selection of Blush, White, Red, White and Fruit wines. My favorite was the Southern Sangria which features muscadines, blueberries & blackberries ($16.95). Treat yourself to Pina Colada and yummy Strawberry slushies and flights. 8 oz. is $7.95. $12.95 for 16 oz. to-go. A little pricey but delish. Sip while strolling the picturesque grounds. Or be fancy and have a glass of wine ($10). There's a wine club, specialty wines and food if you're hungry. Hummus plate $15, cheese plate $17, charcuterie $18 etc. Shoutout to Stephanie! She has good energy, takes great pics and made me feel like a VIP. I highly recommend and will return!

Open everyday (perfect for people like me that are visiting in the middle of the week for a random event and wants something to do) or the perfect date night.. Service was perfect: friendly and knowledgeable. Order at the counter and then find your seat. PLENTY of options for seating depending on your mood AND, if they have the space open or not. Food options are limited during the week but during the weekend, they have a full menu. I had a charcuterie board that was hardy and full of options. I also had a red wine flight that was perfect for the cold evening. Then there was the sunset. Oh the sunset.. ugh just perfect with the French jazzy music and pure tranquil atmosphere. I absolutely loved this place. I was told they have live music during the weekend and have most of the areas open as well but since it was Tuesday, it was limited. They also have a private event space. I only wish I lived near by, this would be a regular spot for me!

Visited this winery with a group and had a disappointing experience with how service was handled…read more Our table was told we were being cut off due to alleged behavior that did not apply to our group, and despite clarifying the situation, service remained inconsistent across our party. The situation felt mismanaged and could have been resolved with clearer communication and better verification before refusing service. Unfortunately, it impacted the overall guest experience enough that we chose to leave. Hoping this constructive feedback helps improve consistency and service moving forward.
