Disappointing!! Website shows groomed grounds, elegant building structure, along side of excellent…read morewinery experience. While the building defiantly is of excellent quality, the rest is a disappointing adventure at best. Nothing invites you wanting to stay, enjoy company and sip some wine. Grounds are groomed bare minimum and there are no inviting accents (e.g. flowers or ornaments) offering any appeal. Camping grade watercolors for water dispenser, simple diner style silver wear and plastic dishes. A salad that does not deserve its name. Minimal staff. I had a glas of Eclipse which tasted delightful, similar to grocery store wine at this price. Do yourself a favor and skip this one for now! There are much better wineries available in Iowa. It appears ownership is trying to safe everywhere! Noteworthy: It's 3/4 mile gravel to the property. To no fault of their own, the gnats & bees were out swarming outside, so seating outside diverted us inside. But when we moved to inside we got to enjoy a larger bundle of unruly kids in a small room.

If you haven't been here, or even if you have - GO! Do not give it a 2nd thought! They have a full menu and they do breakfast on Sundays!! First Sunday of the Month, you get a free omelette with the purchase of a buffet.

Nachos & pickle wraps. Everything was tasty & so laid back. This was nothing fancy, but we still enjoyed every bit of it! Definitely a place more should visit. Very affordable & friendly.

We came for a wine tasting but timed it perfect for live outdoor music on a Friday evening. After tasting a few bottles, we settled on Cranston Berry, a really nice semi-sweet grape wine with a perfect combination of semi-tart cranberry. They also have two different types of wine slushees, perfect for a hot summer day. It's definitely worth a visit and if you can hit it on a Friday evening between 5:30 & 7:30pm, you'll enjoy some live music.

We both ordered the Turkey and Cranberry Panini. What a wonderful mixture of flavors! Oh, and it's actually turkey and not deli meat turkey! It was served with a choice of sides and we both chose the chips and salsa since we figured we'd be talking for a bit. These weren't your ordinary chips as they had a delicious seasoning on them. The salsa had quite a bite in the spicy level, for me. My only complaint was that it took over 45 min for the sandwiches to come to us and they were busy but not overly busy. Fortunately we were there to talk and catch up so not a big deal but if you're coming for a lunch hour from work, it might not work for you. They do have some evening music on weekends but there may be a ticket charge. You'll have to check their website for more info on that. Service was friendly, just took awhile for food to come to accompany our wine.
