    Stopped in to get a gift of bourbon for a friend. Luck has it that they had a 4 sample bourbon sampling for 10 dollars. Staff is so knowledgeable. They have a great selection of spirits. I will definitely be back!!

    Every day should be this good. Our day at the Shelburne Vineyard far exceeded all our expectations…read more We didn't want to leave. We were there on a Sunday, a beautiful spring day - the sun shining and the small group of visitors kept growing as the afternoon progressed. Unknown to us, the Vineyard had a busy agenda planned, but first they steered us to a grassy area away from their main parking area to park for the night. We went inside to the cool and comfortable wine tasting room and were greeted by a very friendly engaging staff. Ruby offered us a sample and ran through their day's agenda. A talented group of musicians were setting up their equipment on the shaded patio outside while guests were spreading blankets on the lawn or setting up a picnic on one of the several available tables. We were meeting old friends there and hoped we could find a seat. The band played much of the music that I grew up on (Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, the Dead, and lots more.) We picked out a few bottles to put in the frig in our rig ... then went back inside. Our friends (that live nearby in Vermont) joined us first inside where we shared a charcuterie board. We later moved to our Class B with them and enjoyed our little picnic, accompanied by their delicious wines. Then late in the afternoon, we went back inside because a jazz ensemble was to perform. The sun was still shining and everyone there was feeling the vibes. We met the owner who had a staff that he should be very proud of - they were very gracious to all the guests that came through. Be sure and stay here if it's in your path.

    Went to the vineyard on a whim and it did not disappoint. Starting with the wines, they could be…read morehit or miss. It really depends on your palette, and you have to understand that the grapes local to the area will not be your typical grapes. My family got flights, both sweet and dry. We really liked the 2023 Louise and 2022 Marquette. In fact, the Marquette was the best of the bunch from my point of view. The ciders were both really sweet, but the Eden Angeljus was pretty good and reminiscent of Mead. The Riesling was also a favorite. We got a cheeseboard for two, and that was freaking delicious. It came with a maple cranberry preserve that was out of this world. But the cheese, and even the crackers, were exceptionally good, too. Beyond that, the service was exemplary. Ruby in particular was a joy to talk to and quite good at her job. Finally, the live music they had playing was surprisingly good. I did not expect that kind of quality on a random Saturday in May. I highly recommend going to this winery.

    This location is NOT where the vineyards are. This is the wine tasting room/store. I was…read moredisappointed not seeing a vineyard as the touristy maps pointed this as the location of a winery. There is a vineyard but it is in the town of East Calais over the mountain as the sales lady described the directions of getting there. Since we were here, we decided on a wine tasting. It was a dollar for a small taste of each wine The downside was that we can only choose from the wines that were opened already. I could not try their blueberry wine. I did try the Pear wine, Rasberry Apple wine, and Stawberry Wine. I was really surprised how delish these wines were. My favorite was the Pear wine. The mister and I bought three bottles. Overall, as first time visitors to Vermont, the mister and I were in awe to find wineries here. Hopefully, we will find ourselves in their vineyards. This tasting room is next door to the popular cold hollow cider mill. Just go right into the Apple Core store and make a left into the tasting room.

The store looks interesting from the outside and upon entry you are greeted by numerous microbrews for sale. I was planning on purchasing some until I made the mistake of walking through Grand View's door. The tasting room looks like a dull office with some bottles of wine. If you want a tasting, be brave -firm and try your hardest to ask for one while being stared down by inmate 4319. She sure as hell won't offer you one. Inmate 4319 is handling important business on her phone. And get ready to ante up that $2, no one is pouring anything till some cash comes out. Also, pay cash this will protect you from 4319. The first wine I tried had white stuff floating in it. I asked what it was and was told "sediment". No sh*t really? But 4319 was not providing further info on the flakes of flesh floating in the wine. It was mostly different fruit wines. They may have been alright but I just banged the samples back so I could hurry up and leave. No one walks out on 4319.
