We were in town for a week for the fall color change. My husband and I stopped by one afternoon and was greeted by Jan. Jan gave us the full history of this beautiful new venue. Jan also made recommendations as to our tastes and once she found out we were from Tampa, wholeheartedly recommended the Cuban Sandwich. She said it was better than any Cuban sandwich you could get in Tampa! And she was correct. Absolutely delicious. We asked her if they could accommodate six couples the next night. She assured us she could make that happen. Last night all twelve of us had dinner and tastings. Wine flights, bourbon flights, beer flights and more. The Adult Lunchables were delicious and so very different from each other. Absolutely beautiful night sitting outside on the patio. Can't recommend this beautiful place enough. We will be back! Thank you Jan! read more

Slanted Window Tasting Station - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Franklin, North Carolina

The only thing slanted here were the corners of my mouth, smiling from having this absolute gem enter the Franklin scene. It's very rare somewhere captures an aesthetic quite like Slanted Window has... even more rare to be found in Franklin, NC. My mother was so excited to surprise me with a visit here for my birthday, and my family all around enjoyed the environment, the menu and of course me (it was my birthday!!) This renovated gas station was giving all of the good vibes - from a cute inside bar to several outside seats situated by old gas pumps, logo branded and all! For the most part, the food was great. The wine had several great options and, although we didn't try it (next visit!), the bourbon tastings with smoking options were a welcomed surprise. I'm excited to see how this establishment evolves considering the potential it has provided. From our understanding it has been a long time coming for this to come to fruition. Aside from all, it comes down to the bones behind it. It only took a quick conversation to understand that the owners behind this place are authentic, genuine and they care. Care might seem small but in even small to large doses, caring is everything. Caring brings people back, caring spreads the word and caring about the customers enjoying the experience is what keeps places alive. I hope to see everyone care about this place as much as we do. read more

Amazing service, food was delicious and great selection of wines. The decor was unique (car garage theme). Will definitely go back.

Absolutely a wonderful place for get together with friends! The owners are very supportive of the community and are always checking on the customers to make sure they're having a good time. If you haven't been you need to go! read more

Great new place in Franklin! Everything is locally sourced. The staff were all very friendly and nice. The decorations are very fun and cool. Good selection of local wines, craft beers and bourbons. (Soft drinks available too). Nice selection of food as well. Everything we saw come out to the tables had been beautifully prepared and plated. My wife Deb had the local charcuterie board which had, pickled vegetables, whipped goat cheese, smoked trout, caper berries, pickled onions, grapes and strawberries with seed crackers (or multi seed flatbread). I had the sandwich of prosciutto, manchego cheese and an olive, artichoke spread with spicy mayo and Cajun potato chips. All was very tasty. Deb had a glass of their honey wine and I tried the flight of 3 tastings. All really good too!!! Great new place to go here in Franklin. We will be back!!! read more

Awesome experience! Olivia was knowledgeable about the bourbons as well as the menu. The atmosphere is light and airy; extremely comfortable. The local charcuterie board with smoke trout, pickled onions and goat cheese was phenomenal (try the goat cheese and the grapes together). Ask about the daily special (today's was a Cuban sandwich) and dessert (turtle cheesecake). Try the bourbon ice cream too! Can't wait to come back! read more

My daughter, Rebecca, and I went there for lunch and were treated to a lovely experience. I chose the flight of 5 wines and to my surprise I liked the Gewürztraminer the best! Usually I will enjoy this wine after the meal with desert. My daughter chose a non-alcoholic drink, a delicious vanilla cream soda. We were both happy with those choices. Sara was our server and was a pleasant addition, thank you Sara. I ordered the pâté charcuterie board and Rebecca ordered the cheese fig tarts. I asked what animal the pâté was made from and Sara asked the chef, he said pork. I didn't taste any cognac and it was a bit on the dry side. Otherwise it was a good repast. I would definitely recommend this place if you live or are passing through Franklin, NC since it is a a refreshing alternative. read more
