After spending the morning at the Vermillion Beach Market and walking around downtown Vermilion, popping into the shops for a fun girls' day, a friend and I decided to stop at Paper Moon Winery on the way home for lunch because we were getting hungry. Tucked away in a wooded setting near the Lake Erie shore, Paper Moon has a really cozy, laid-back atmosphere. The indoor tasting area is comfortable and inviting, with board games available to play, and there's plenty of outdoor seating throughout the grass, along with a covered outdoor dining area. It's a great place to relax and spend a leisurely afternoon with friends. It's a casual, counter-service setup. You order your food at the counter/bar area, you're given a buzzer, and then you pick up your food at the counter when it's ready. I ordered the Blackberry Sangria Slush, which was refreshing and perfect for a summer day. For lunch, I had the Hot Italian Panini with chips and a pickle spear. It was tasty and had good flavor, although the panini was a little on the thin side and I would have preferred it to be a bit more substantial. Overall, Paper Moon was a fun stop during our girls' day. I really enjoyed the peaceful, wooded setting and casual atmosphere. It's a great spot to grab a drink, enjoy some food, play a game, and relax with friends. read more

I visited Paper Moon Vineyards on a beautiful day in August where tastings are for $1 each. After trying the Rosé and the Blackberry Sangria, I found wines that were sweet and delicious that I was happy to get a glass and sit outside and enjoy the weather. The servers were very nice and helped us with our choices of wine. A glass of wine is very healthy with lots of flavor. They have a variety of food choices if you're hungry or get hungry spending time relaxing on the grass of their yard. read more

Nice ambiance. Good food and nice wines. Yelp requires an 85 word review for what reason I don't know.

Our favorite vineyard. The Sangria is our choice of refreshment. The food is very good, the staff is very friendly, and the building and grounds is very inviting. read more

Paper Moon Vineyards is a gem. So much so that we had our after wedding party here two summers ago. Paper Moon has three different seating areas: and indoor "restaurant" type section, an enclosed patio area, and outdoor picnic table seating complete with a tent, fire pit, and various board games available. On weekends there is often live music (usually 6:00-9:00 PM) either in the patio area or outdoors during the nice weather. No matter where you choose to sit, you'll find a very welcoming, relaxing environment. Obviously Paper Moon is best known for their wines. I don't drink wine, but I still love this place. They have beers on tap or by the bottle/can. You can also choose a house made hard cider. They also have some good food choices. It isn't a very elaborate menu, but everything is fresh and good. My family typically orders a cheese plate, pizza and chicken quesadilla to share. Personally, I prefer the quesadilla. The menu also has cheese bread, pretzels (Thurs-Sat only), soup (also Thurs-Sat), and panini sandwiches. Paper Moon Vineyards is GREAT spot. Highly recommended. This will always be one of our favorite spots in Vermillion read more

Hubs settled on niagara and I had the raspberry blend - all were amazing Also has the pretzels - OMG SO GOOD The Italian wedding soup - good but lacking meatballs The quesadilla- was small but good - comes with chips read more

Very nice winery. Great selections of wines and tasty small dishes. Great view when sipping outside. Bartender was great!!

Back again. Just a nice place to hang with a bit of live music, casual atmosphere & wine. Had the Twilight rose and I thought it was good in spite of those who thought it tasted "corky". Cheese tray, chips and cheesy bread were perfect accompaniment. read more

Where are my wine lovers? This place is a great little stop on your way to Cleveland. We needed a stop over on our way home from a procedure and this was right off the road. Such a cute little area. You wouldn't even know it was tucked right beside a highway. Lots of outdoor seating, an outdoor patio and a gorgeous indoor area as well. They had a nice menu that we would've tried had we known. We did try the fruit and cheese plate, it was good and a LOT of food, we didn't need. The bartender was helpful in leading us to some wines we would like and we ended up purchasing 2 bottles to take home. This is a winery that's not right on 71, but not far off either. Take the time and enjoy the drive over to this sweet little winery and have some really great wine. read more

Why have we not visited here before? This is a great place with really good pitcher drinks. The outside seating area is great and very accommodating. We were able to sit at an umbrella table with our Golden Doodles and enjoy the atmosphere. The cheese and meat tray are a hit and good well with the wines of choice. read more

I've always loved Paper Moon Vineyards. Maybe that's because of my fondness for Vermilion, but truly, I love this spot. This is a much simpler winery than most in the Greater Cleveland area, so please keep expectations realistic that you're coming to a small winery. It has great charm. When it's not a pandemic, they have live music with local musicians. They also do free local delivery of wine and can ship some products directly from their website. With 2-3 days notice, they can also assemble a super cute, local gift basket featuring the wine of your choice for under $50. All the wines here are excellent. I prefer white wines and find their selection to be just about perfection. My favorite is the semi-dry Lighthouse Cayuga. If you like red wine, go with the Sailors Red (which also comes in the cutest bottle ever). When it comes to food at the winery, you can expect standard plates like cheese plates, salads, soup and panini. But come here for the wine and stay for the nautical inspired charm. read more

Wine was delicious. Wine service was pleasant and knowledgeable. Margherita pizza was just right. Great band tonight.

The wife and I stopped here in the evening after spending the day at Cedar Point. We had a hard time finding it off the major street though. The sign is very small and the vineyard is set back amongst a wooded area. They need a bigger sign!! They have tons of parking and a nice patio area that let in the evening breeze. We saw a paint and sip class going on under a canopy off to the side. We ordered food and sampled some wine to see what we liked. We chose a riesling that was pretty good. We were helped by Rachel. She was really nice and very knowledgeable about the wine. We recommend talking with her when you visit. Food was good and we would come back again. We took 2 bottles of the Riesling home with us! read more

Perfect end to a visit to Vermilion! Nice variety of wine and beer along with a light menu for lunch or a snack. Staff was helpful making our wine selections and answering our questions. Will definitely be back this summer after a day on the lake! Lots of space between tables and outdoor seating read more

This is a great place to spend a summer afternoon. We met a Paper Moon at 4:00 PM and grabbed a table on the large patio. There was live music being played by a DJ, which was entertaining, especially when people started to dance. The crowd here is mostly 50+ years, but they know how to have a good time. This was my first visit to Paper Moon and my first winery visit ever. It was nice to be able to sample the wine before buying some. I didn't care for the red wines much (and I tried almost all of them) and I'm not a fan of white wine, so my wife and I shared a pitcher of red sangria, which was sweet and delicious. For dinner, I ordered an Italian Panini sandwich, which was delicious. It was served with potato chips, which I did not finish. We also ordered some bread, a cheese platter, and a hummus platter. All the food was really good and the atmosphere was just beautiful. It was a great day to do just about anything in the Cleveland area. We'll probably be back because this was a very relaxing afternoon spent at Paper Moon. read more

This was our first visit to Papermoon, we often find ourselves in Vermilion on a Sunday and they're closed. Glad we finally chose to visit! My husband had a glass of the Blackberry Sangria. He loved it, good go to if you're looking for a very sweet red. I had a glass of the Harvest Blend. Also a sweet red, but a great balance of different grapey flavors. They have a good selection of food to choose from. We went with the margherita pizza. Delicious!!! Highly recommend making the stop if you're in the area. read more

Inexpensive and delightful! My Saturday nights are completed here. I recommend these wines; Harvest blend, Lighthouse Cayuga white, Blackberry Sangria, and my favorite fave of favoritesville... Twilight!!!! So delicious it needs a warning label (warning; do not drink like kool aid)! Food is amazing and simple, though I adore the sampler cheese plate ($7! Its $20+ any other wine place!) See our favorite "Skip, master of the vines" at the tasting counter. Tastes are 50 cents! You cannot beat this wonderful treasure right off route 2 and route 60 in Vermillion. read more

Wine is amazing. Food is good. But as I'm standing in line waiting to place my order I noticed that the young man behind the counter was very rude and dismissive to an elderly couple that was having a hard time deciding what they wanted. He became nasty when they didn't know what they wanted. Such a shame. I truly like this place but the behavior from this young man--who has worked here for a while--is terrible to see. Be nicer to the customers. read more

The wine was nice. You have to pay a dollar a tasting. The cab was good. However the service left something to be desired. If you want friendly and helpful this is not the place. read more

Very nice atmosphere. We always go during warmer weather and sit outside, either patio or tables in the grassy yard area. Usually a band and a food truck to go with their menu which is very good. The wine is better than average and some are excellent. Also a variety of beers to enjoy too. read more

Great wine with not the best food. The food for being from a winery seemed to be cheaper quality for the price paid. Staff was friendly and the samples 50 cents each. I wish they would give crackers between the samples. They have about 15-20 wines here. They should have one that you fall in love with. read more

I'm giving Paper Moon Winery 5 stars for the variety and quality of their wines and for the quality of their food--the menu is a bit more expansive than the typical winery. We ordered a light lunch of Ciabatta Cheesy Bread and Pumpkin/Apple/Bacon Soup--could not have been fresher or tastier and the quantity was over the top! Wine tastings were generous as well! Service also gets 5 stars--Beau, a local lad, was our server and I would recommend asking for him! The place is clean but does not have the ambience of some of the northern Ohio wineries, but everything else was so exceptional, I have to stick with 5 stars! read more

As we are driving down the highway we see a sign for Paper Moon vineyards. So we stopped to try it. We go into the "tasting center" to taste some wines to see what bottles we would like to purchase and take home. Only to find out we can't "taste wine." We were required to buy a $7 glass to see if we wanted to buy a $20 bottle. My wife didn't even like the wine she was forced to buy. So no bottle purchase. Maybe if is she got to "taste" a few different kinds we would have bought a few bottles. Shouldn't call it a "tasting"center if you are not going to let people "taste." read more

I was very disappointed in the fact that there was no sanitizing of anything. I watch 3 tables get wiped down after people had left their table The same dirty rag was used on all 3 tables. no chairs were wiped down no sanitizing products were used. At that time i went out to my. car, got some lysol wipes and wiped down my chairs and table. Please make sure you wipe down your tables and chair yourself before enjoying your wine- or don't go there . so disappointed read more

Wonderful environment, great live music and enjoyable wine! Fun night out with the girls or hubby. read more

Having a glass of their Riesling right now. My wife and I moved my sister from NYC to Austin last year. As a part of our road trip back we stopped by Vermillion and visited. They have an amazing story and a great business. Very inspiring and incredibly hospitable to us. I recommend stopping and enjoying a meal and some sangria on a nice hot summers day. Grab a bottle or two to take home as well. read more

Came here for the first time with a group of friends and had a blast! Live music, a relaxed atmosphere, tasty food, and best of all... delicious wine. A perfect spot for a summer evening. read more

I love the Paper Moon Vineyard/Winery. It is such a romantic and casual place. The inside decor is lovely; lots of stone and iron accents with green ivy. The bar is very large and has at least 4-6 people behind it, ready to pour you a sample or provide you with a bottle and glasses. My parents and I came here on 10/6 on our way to Cleveland airport, so we just wanted a little alcohol to calm the pre-flight jitters and a snack or two. We ordered a cheese plate and a hummus appetitzer. Both came out quickly (as expected) and hit the spot. We shared two bottles of the Lake Erie Niagara, which was so delicious. If you are into sweet, white wine, this bottle is for you. Samples are $1 each, or you can just go ahead and buy the bottle - $8 to $11. They also have a small gift shop inside. If you are in the area, stop at the vineyard - it's located right off of Route 2, and easy to find. They have a very large sign by the road that you will see right away. read more

It was't anything special. I don't much drink much wine, so keep all of that mind. I'm not judging them much besides that I found most of their reds too sweet. I went on a wintry Saturday night. Indoors, there's two rooms: one that is much more homey and like a log cabin with the wooden walls. Another, adjacent room has a very large (20+ ft.) ceiling that reminded me of being in an indoor track. In here, there's plastic foldable white tables and chairs to sit and despite the subzero temperatures outside, it was warm and toasty. They also have free water that is self-serve and a small menu of sandwiches. When I ordered the samples at the "bar area" (note this isn't a bar, there's no seating at this bar area). The friendly and responsive server poured my wines into the same glass a few times. It didn't bother me, but oenophiles would likely cringe. Besides wines, there was a sangria and a pink limonade that I believe had wine in it. No beer or liquor if you're not a wine fan. The prices nor the atmosphere is very sophisticated, a glass and a flight of 4-5 was no more than $18. I wouldn't go out of my way to stop here but there's 2-3 other wineries within a few miles in the area so I would stop here if I was doing a wine tour of Lorain County and Northern Ohio. read more

We meet a couple friends here before heading to the lake for a long weekend. The place was inviting and had a decent selection of wine and some apple cider they produce in house. They do serve food but I advise sticking to the wine and cheese unless you are ordering the pizza because I was not impressed with the other food items we ordered. read more

Paper Moon Vineyards - Harvest Blend - Wineries Near Me - Vermilion, Ohio

Overall I think this winery misses the mark but with a few improvements it could be a great place to gather. The atmosphere is nice here. The night we went there was live music and the fireplace was burning. The wines we ordered were good. However, we ordered a cheese plate and the presentation was awful. It came on a divided plastic picnic plate. The cheese was cut but not displayed. The crackers and shortbread cookies were in their plastic packages. The meat was just pepperoni and it was slapped on the plastic plate in a pile. In my opinion a winery should have a beautifully presented charcuterie board and this was put together like a 3-year old did it. We asked for a flight of their wines to sample but that wasn't an option. We were told we could pick some wine samples and they were $1/wine and came in a plastic Jell-O shot cup. A proper winery should have a white and red flight option. With attention to presentation and detail Paper Moon could be a really nice place but the food and wine sample presentation was seriously lacking. read more

This is a great winery. Tons of outdoor and indoor seating. They serve snacks/appetizers/flat bread pizzas and such. My favorite wine here was the Pink Lemonade wine. However, you can only buy it by the glass or pitcher! I wish it was by the bottle, or else I would have bought a few to go. Great place to go to with friends or family! read more

Awesome place to get together with friends and have good wine and good food! Love going there when the weather is warm and sit outside and relax! read more

We visit here about every other time we come back to Cleveland to see family. Most wineries in Ohio can make the sweet grape juice wine pretty well, what sets Paper Moon aside from the others is that they also make some good drier wines. If you are a sweet fan, The Harvest Blend is a good wine choice, as is their Niagara. I do not like dry white wine, but they have a carmenere I enjoyed as well as a Zin that was good. Good food selection for a winery. Had an apple/pumpkin soup in the fall that was awesome. Good atmosphere, friendly staff. The tasting pours are a little less generous than other places I've been, but they are also only $.50. read more

Great atmosphere with live music and friendly staff. Definitely a gem in Vermilion! Will be coming again.

Going here, drinking local Ohio wines, having some apps, and listening to live music on their screened-in porch is the definition of a fun summer evening. If you're in town, you should check it out. read more
