We spent a Sunday afternoon, from about 1-3pm, at Everleigh Vineyards…read more We were greeted and served by two very friendly women behind the bar. Both helpful with tips on what to order from their beer and wine options based off what we told them of our tastes. The grounds and building were very well kept. We chose to sit outside so our kids could run around (6 kids between us and our friend's family). They tried to light a fire for us, but that was the one downfall: all the fuel was wet from recent rain I think, so the fire never really took and we just had smoke for a while and no warmth or flames to enjoy watching. But they tried! We enjoyed all the wines we sampled, and went home with one bottle. All that I tried were dry, well-bodied and smooth. My husband only found the beer so-so, so next time we go he'll probably stick to the wines that he also enjoyed from tasting my flight. The soft pretzels are huge, delicious and delivered hot and fresh. The cheese sauce for dipping them was really tasty and much better than most cheese sauce offered for soft pretzels elsewhere. The staff was very courteous, offering us blankets as it was chilly outside and they saw the fire wasn't thriving. We are only 25 minutes from them, and we'll definitely go back; we were very happy with our visit!

My friend and I really liked both so we got one of each. They also offer wine and cider, but the beer is brewed onsite. It was an overcast and windy day so we sat inside, but there was ample outdoor seating. This looks like it would be great place to come in the summer to fully enjoy all that this brewery has to offer.

Our kids ran around the plentiful open area while we tasted and sipped our beers. We ordered inside, and were helped quickly. There was a decent number of folks there but the ladies behind the bar were doing a good job of getting flights and beers out without keeping people waiting. We enjoyed our time there, and may return if the time is right.

We enjoyed the buffalo chicken flatbread on cauliflower crust, the Bavarian pretzel, and flights of cider beer. The cauliflower crust was surprisingly delicious. I was skeptical when the bartender suggested it. We enjoyed all of the beer and cider. The pina colada cider and and coal & cocoa stout were our favorites. We sat on the outdoor patio and it was very pleasant. The free Wi-Fi worked well. This is important as many businesses in the area have poor cellular service and fail to offer Wi-Fi.

They've definitely expanded in that time, and had live music until 9.

They have five 11.3% beers on the menu- I feel like those could sneak up on ya quick! The setting is beautiful and I'm excited to see how they continue to grow.
