The blackberry wine was super good. The bartender was very knowledgeable. After I finished the tasting, I got a glass of the blackberry wine and sat on their back porch. It was very warm and enjoyable to sit out in the fresh air and enjoy a nice glass of wine. Also had their smoked Gouda cheese! It was so good I bought a block to take home.

I tasted Cantina Bianca and Southern Kiss which both were white wine, refreshing and crisp. We also got to try their slushies, which both were flavorful.

They offered a great tasting experience of either 3 free samples or 8 samples for around $10-11 something with tax, which is well worth it if you want to explore their selection. Their new 10th Anniversary Blueberry wine was excellent, and the Bourbon Blueberry was another standout, though both were a little higher priced than what I was looking to spend. I ended up taking home some of my favs - Strawberry, Blackberry, and Salted Watermelon Cider, and I absolutely love all three! They has a deal where if you buy 5, your 6th is free so I took advantage since I was buying for a family gathering. One thing I appreciate is that their wines don't contain preservatives, which gives them a fresh, homemade feel. Just be aware they recommend enjoying them within about six months. The staff were kind, friendly, and helpful throughout the tasting process without being pushy. Whether you're a sweet wine fan or just looking for a fun stop while shopping, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Decided it was a good value and went for it. We expected 3 or 4 wines at each and it was closer to 8 at each. Most of them were sweet wines, but very tasty. The overall value was exceptional.

I started with the Cabernet + a muscadine grape and it was the driest, so if I could tell it was probably a 2.5 RS. The other wines were very sweet, but I didn't mind the peach wine. This isn't any fault of them and that they can probably own grow sweeter wines in the region based on the location. Not sure if they're able to get dry grapes from other regions such as California, but at the end of the day sweet wine does good on sales.
