We were out for a drive and we weren't sure where we were going to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary. We stumbled upon The Bistro at Labelle Winery. What a find! From the service, to the cocktails, to the food it was a five star experience. We were also lucky enough to see an incredible sunset. I had the cranberry amaretto sour cocktail, which was absolutely divine. We then had a flight of white wine with a baked Brie to start, and it was delicious. My husband had the short rib and I had the strip sirloin, both were cooked beautifully, and the short rib came on a bed of homemade pasta. I had a glass of their Malbec, which they recommended with the strip steak and it was so good that we bought a bottle to bring home. We ended our night with coffee and a pot de crème, which was out of this world. Our server Niamh, was fantastic. She was very attentive, warm and friendly and she helped make it a perfect evening. This place is a gem, would definitely return. read more

The restaurant was dimly lit with soft lighting and had a small candle on every table it was a slightly upscale but still cozy vibe for dinner. The waitress was knowledgeable on the wines and their pairings. We got the red wine braised shortrib poutine and and it was AMAZING I've tried a lot of poutine and this was one of the best. The meat was so incredibly flavorful and soft, the cheese had the perfect cheese pull, the gravy was scrumptious and the fries were thin and perfectly salty like a better version of a McDonald's fry. For dinner we split the steak frites and duck breast. The steak was well seasoned and was a nice size, the broccolini was surprisingly really great, and the fries were just as good as they were in the poutine. The duck breast was a pass for me, and I love duck. It was cooked medium as a default and that is not my preference. It was quite chewy and I didn't think it tasted like very much at all. The mashed potatoes were very good, I think they have a real knack for all things potato here and the farro was good and very flavorful for being a side portion. I would definitely come here again but probably stick to the red meats. read more

We had a family lunch today at The Bistro which is our absolute favorite place in NH. We dined outside with that amazing view on a beautiful day. The service was outstanding as always - thank you Aiden! The food was delicious - we started with the crispy buffalo cauliflower and ham / Gruyère puffs. Entrees included our favorite - the chicken salad wrap - the chicken BLT, and summer penne pasta. My daughter loved the spiced winter pear wine. We ended with 2 orders of the chocolate decadence. Everything was so good. We can't wait to visit next time we are back in the area. LaBelle is a true gem - not to be missed. read more

Amazing!!! Absolutely loved everything about this place. The atmosphere is beautifully laid back, the food & cocktails are well thought out and flawlessly executed. Avery took care of us, she is friendly and very professional. Even the restrooms are aesthetically pleasing. One of the top 5 spots I've stumbled upon in the last 20 years. read more

Easter Sunday 2026 at LaBelle in Amherst was a disaster. Despite a reservation, it took 30 minutes to seat us, and the waiter didn't even take drink orders for 45 minutes after we were seated. Our 3-course dinner order was another 45 minutes later. No one came by to refill water or coffee so we got up and got our own refills. Other diner tables (same size as ours) were seated 40 minutes AFTER us and were served, constantly attended to, and left before we even got one entree. Entrees came out cold, and one dinner was completely forgotten-- then came out later (and wrong) and had to be sent back and was still wrong. I gave it away to someone else in our party. The creme brulee tasted like instant pudding and was not set. The waiter was cold and hardly came by or uttered a word to us. Other diners were being waited on, and our waiter was hardly to be seen in the dining room in the whole 3 hours and 20 minutes we were there. Despite talking to the manager 3x at different intervals, it turned out to be 3 hours and 10 minutes in total of mostly waiting, and by the time our food came, we ate within about 15 minutes. We could not wait to get out of there. They brought our check and did not take the $100 deposit off the bill. We had to remind them. We came for lunch and left at nearly dinner time. Save your money and never go there for a holiday or event. In fact, I doubt any of us will be back at all. Total waste of money and time. read more

This was my first dining experience at the Labelle Winery and a friend and I made reservations for brunch on a Sunday at 11 am. We were quickly seated upon arrival and Aiden was our waitperson-very personable and friendly and provided us with a quick overview of our food choices as well as providing us with a delicious wine sample prior to our meal and was very attentive during our brunch. I had already looked at the menu ahead of time and had the Lobster Benedict. It was delicious and perfectly cooked! The potatoes were crisp and chewy. The Bistro is a delightful venue for a casual but upscale experience and I will definitely come back and hope to sit outside on their beautiful patio. Very easy to find off Rte 101-great signage at the road as well! read more

Upscale food, as they added the little touches that added a pop to the dishes. The moimoist favourful lamb meatballs were served with an intense tomato sauce and pita bread. The muscles in a wine/garlic sauce with purple basil cooked perfect, juicy not dry. Caprese salads good, heirloom tomato would add more flavor and the buratta was perfect. We enjoyed Niamh's suggestions, excellent service, offering tasting of wines she suggested, and knows the menu. The patio had live music as we enjoyed the food and wine on a nice warm summer night. read more

Thank you, Jo Jo, for a wonderful dining experience. The mussels, fried chicken wings, and burger were delicious. And to cap off the evening, a birthday dessert with a sparking flame in cheesecake. Very romantic and intimate dinner. Thank you. read more

Had an excellent time here. The food was tasty as was the wine. We ordered a flight of red and a flight of white which was an excellent addition to the experience. I like the look of the facilities and it has nice ambiance an out it. The server was attentive and friendly. I believe she mixed up one of the wines in the white flight since tasting revealed there was no Riesling in the flight we received, but it's a minor point. We plan on dining here again. All of the entrees were excellent and the cheese tray went well with the wines we ordered. read more

There are times when I'm grateful to have this venue to let others know when I come across a business I find truly exceptional. Labelle Winery in very way reaches that standard. It's not easy to get a table here which attests to their popularity. Though my wife and I stumbled across this business we were luckily able to get a table thanks to a last minute cancellation. This winery wins my favor for a number of reasons. The wine choices here are excellent. I travel the world enjoying wine and to find it a treat to come across this kind of quality especially on the east coast of the US. The food is delicious and complements the wine choices well. Too many wine rooms lean away from this with only peripheral choices or precut cheese trays. Labelle takes its cuisine seriously by offering enjoyable plates that can stand alone nicely. The staff here is cordial, efficient and engaging. They have a genuine enthusiasm when describing the wines and their specific qualities. Tours of the facility are also available and often given by the proprietors of the business. It's definitely worth the time! What I also appreciate is this is a family owned business that wears its name with pride and a commitment to perpetuating its quality rather than simply resting upon its laurels. To see the results of someone's vision on what was once a hilltop attests to all that's possible with diligence and hard work. My best complements to Labelle Winery and its excellent staff. The next time I'm in New Hampshire I'll definitely be back! read more

Great wine. Picturesque. Awesome venue. I can see why my cousin and his now wife chose LaBelle. I traveled from the DC area to attend their wedding here a few months ago (the end of September). I was part of the decorating committee for the ceremony and reception. The staff was very accommodating! I was initially concerned that it would be too cold as it was an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, but the weather was simply amazing. Sunny skies and cool temps. It was perfect. I took some of the best pictures I've taken in a long time at this venue. Definitely Instagram worthy! I highly recommend! If I'm ever in the New Hampshire area again, I'm stopping by LaBelle Winery. read more

We ordered an app of short rib poutine. My wife called it "sinful". She isn't wrong. It's splendid. It really made the meal. It's a gorgeous spot and the rest of the meals we had were decent enough. Our problem is that the steaks were slightly cold. The issue? There was a wedding going on. Our service was incredibly slow. Good, but slow. My guess is that most of their staff spread too thinly between the wedding and the restaurant. Our meals were probably sitting, waiting for someone to bring them to us and cooled in the meantime. A great date spot if you pick a night they don't have a wedding read more

This winery has the best wine you will find in New Hampshire. That's a fact, it outcompetes easily. Of course, it's still New Hampshire wine, so 4/5. The restaurants at the winery locations are quite nice. We especially enjoyed the Amherst location, wonderful outdoor space. The service is very attentive as well. Overall, a lovely space with some quality wines to try. We will be here often! read more

Based on numerous positive reviews that I have heard about LaBelle, I was excited to finally make it to the Amherst location to have the same experience that everyone raved about. Unfortunately, it fell a little short for me. First off, the venue is gorgeous. Set on top of rollings hills with various vines throughout the perimeter, it's clear that LaBelle set out to be a function venue. On the outside, there were benches for patrons to sit at and the inside has bistro seating when you walk in. As you explore more of the venue, there is a large function room where they serve weddings and other large events. It features large ceilings, bright open windows, and elegant chandeliers. Definitely a pretty spot. The rest of my review is solely based on my tasting experience at LaBelle, so it does not take into consideration the food that LeBelle serves. However, my partner and I went in for a tasting and were quickly greeted by the hostess, who was exceptionally nice and ended up giving us the tasting experience. However, when I indicated that we were there for a tasting, she ushered us to one of their 3 barrels next to the gift shop with no seats, which I thought was slightly weird. My partner and I were standing right by the gift shop with our jackets on...it just seemed too casual and it wasn't relaxing. However, we were in for the experience nonetheless. Our tasting continued with the hostess and she told us to choose 6 wines from the list. My partner and I chose our 6 wines, and with each selection, the hostess was SUPER knowledgable about the wine. It was great to hear her explain the process of making the wine, the grape variation, and subtle stories about how some of the wine came to be. However, sometimes mid-sentence, more patrons would come into the venue and she would need to go seat those parties, so sometimes it felt like our wine tasting experience was put on the back burner, so to speak. On top of the odd feeling of standing at a barrel, and our wine tasting consistently being interrupted by patrons walking in and our hostess needing to greet them, it just wasn't the experience that I had anticipated. Our time seemed rushed, and there wasn't a wine that necessarily stood out to us. However, our hostess was extremely nice and she definitely knew her stuff. I was just hoping for more out of this experience. read more

My fiancé and I had the best experience at Labelle! Our server Aidan was very nice and helped answer all of our questions about the menu. Our food and drinks came out fast and were perfect! We shared the cheese board and each had a glass (or two!) of some very refreshing white wine. Great food and even better service, we will definitely be back read more

Loved it, service was excellent, food was excellent, ambience was excellent. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, personable, and made great recommendations. I got the steak frites and wow please pour the bernaise over everything it was outrageous. My gf got the mushroom salad and we shared the mussel appetizer and everything was lovely. Perfect place for a romantic anniversary dinner but also a really lovely place to just grab a glass of wine and an appetizer. Maybe the prettiest and most relaxing outdoor setting in all of southern nh. read more

Since moving to the area, I've been hearing amazing things about LaBelle winery. When the pandemic began the owners were doing everything they could to help, from offering groceries and planning prom for the high school. I've been admiring everything they do from afar, waiting for a chance to try them. For Valentine's Day I saw their take and bake offer and jumped on the chance to try it.... and wow all of their food knocked my socks off! I can't remember the last time I had a meal where every single flavor was surprising and soooo delicious. Even the bread was unique and a new delicious flavor to me. Every portion of the meal incorporated their wine in some way which was so cool The ricotta rolls were spongy and felt like it melted in our mouth. The salad had the most amazing shallot wine dressing and beautiful fresh produce- golden beets, pistachio, goat cheese. Omg. White wine poached shrimp cocktail- delicious, huge shrimp and oh so tender Lobster tail and filet mignon with a truffle Demi glaze. I was skeptical these things would be good as take and bake but, wow, they were both perfect. The filet was SO TENDER, and the truffle sauce to die for. On the side was saffron orzo with tomatoes, so savory and amazing, with prosciutto wrapped asparagus. Come on... does it get any better? Top it off with a decadent flourless chocolate cake and they've created the perfect meal. If their take home stuff was this good I can't even imagine how amazing their stuff fresh in the restaurant is. I highly recommend trying their weekly "take and bake" meals because this one blew us away. I CANT WAIT for better weather when we can go and enjoy their food on the patio.. we've been extra cautious with covid so we haven't been to any restaurants yet, but I know it's the first place I'm going to go. Oh and I almost forgot- the wine! I had their cranberry wine previously and it was excellent. With this meal we had the Corazon rosé and it was absolutely amazing. I'm not a wine connoisseur at all, it usually all tastes the same to me. But even I could tell theres something special about their wine. read more

Absolutely beautiful venue, but was very disappointed that the duck which both my wife and I ordered was well done vs the medium we asked for - effectively it was ruined at the high price point for this venue, that just should not happen... So the 3 stars have more to do with the good service we got and the beautiful surroundings and little to do with the food! read more

The Bistro At LaBelle Winery - Under the tent on a glorious afternoon.. - New American Near Me - Amherst, New Hampshire

Spent our anniversary dinner here. We sat in the back room and they greeted us with complimentary sparkling wine to start. We had one of the monthly specials where a dollar of each item sold goes to a charity. This month is the American Heart Association...and Cupids kiss (drink special) was delicious. Tasty and not sweet. We started with a bread bowl & short rib poutine followed by steak frites and salmon and finished with a chocolate mousse (dessert special). All was flavorful, cooked perfect and serving times between each was perfect. An extensive wine list has something for everyone. Five stars! read more

Service was excellent; the waitstaff are friendly and efficient. The wine is just lovely and so were mixed drinks. The place is beautiful and inviting. Regarding the food, the bread basket is lovely, delicious. Desserts were spectacular--the Turtle Cheese cake and Chocolate Butterscotch Decadence. The French Onion soup is perfect. However, the mussels were very disappointing. The broth/sauce was flavorless and relatively missing--just a little bit pooled underneath the mussels. The meat of each mussel was dry without any depth of flavor. Moreover, the lamb meatballs were dry and tough. Adding some fresh parsley, fresh oregano, and touch of grated onion, with an egg will plump and moisten and tenderize the meatballs--just saying. It's such a lovely place, we will be back and try some different dishes. Lorie D read more

What a perfect day we had at this lovely winery. We started with wine flights with a delicious lunch -- short rib sandwiches -- and ended with a s'mores and mulled wine experience over a well tended fire. Throughout the entire day, the staff made us feel welcome and just plain happy. Well worth the drive! read more

Certified farm to table restaurant. Service was attentive and personable. Server was knowledgeable and kitchen easily accommodated my daughter's multiple, severe food allergies so that she was able to enjoy the duck safely. Quality of food was great and portion sizes were filling. Interior is nice enough for date night but not so stuffy that I felt out of place with my young children. They also had kids' menus and crayons for them. read more

Great food, very good location and ambiance, and the staff is extremely well trained and professional which is a rarity at this point Highly recommend the dinner date experience, which is very well thought out and designed. The wine is decent, the food is original and tastes very good with appropriate portions, leaving room for desert. Very pleasant experience at both locations, with a slight preference for the Derry facility read more

Disappointing dinner! Not worth the trip over. The Beef and Blue Fondue was NOT a Fondue, the Duck was "raw", not rare, the Plantain Puree was not a puree, and the Chocolate Decadence was lacking a primary ingredient...the mixed berries! When I told the server the berries were missing, he just said "Well, I guess we have to update our menu" and then just walked away. We were astounded. Over-priced, under-prepared and presented, and the service was slow; more than likely under-staffed. Having read other reviews, I guess we were not alone. read more

LaBelle is one of New Hampshire's best wineries and also one of the best spots to dine at. The bistro offers a farm-to-table dining experience, and almost every dish can be paired off with one of their wines. They have the typical wines you'd expect such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, and Chardonnay, but also several unique ones including wines that are blended with fruits. During the earlier part of the day they offer tasting flights and in the Bistro you can get wine by the glass/bottle or wine flights. One thing they need to work on, for outdoor dining, is reducing the number of blood-thirsty mosquitos that are on the property. read more

Over the freezing negative weather out in NH this weekend, a reservation was made for 1pm for a large party of 7 people for lunch. Due to weather we were running late & the party ended up being shorten. The winery was called and there was no problem with the changes that were needed on the same day. We were seated right away and were treated lovely by the staff. On the table we started off with duck wings & fried cauliflower. These dishes were new to me and I really enjoyed them, to have duck in this form, I wouldn't mind. The cocoa bbq sauce was thick but it went well with the tender duck meat. The fried cauliflower came with three sauces but the best sauce was this dark, sesame sweet sauce. For my main course I tried the grilled salmon that was paired with a delish carrot hash and a warm tartar sauce, that needed some getting use to. For dessert I tried the apple crisp, which will warm up your heart on a cold day. Apple slices warmed up in a sugar & cinnamon sauce with added crumbs and topped with whipped ice cream. Everything was topped with a glass of moscato, my preferred drink choice is seasonal but def give it a try in due time, the dry pear. read more

I can't say enough about the excellent service we received from our server, Ruby. My friend and I hadn't seen one another in years and kept chatting without looking at the menu. Ruby's recommendations for multiple starters were spot on (the prime rib poutine was delicious). She was attentive without interrupting. We sat outside, which was lovely but talked so late into the night that they allowed us to move inside to the bar. We will definitely be back. read more

Came here Saturday on the recommendation of one of my best friends. We had reservations for 11:30AM they had us seated right away outside as we requested and it was not super busy for a Saturday so that was nice. Our Waitress was very attentive and helpful, very nice. We ordered the Short rib fries to start which were so tasty, 10/10 recommend. We both ordered the shaved steak sandwich, I had mine with the salad and he ordered his with fries. By the time it came I was already feeling full so I ate the salad thinking they would box up the entire sandwich to go (since I hadn't touched it all) my friend barely ate one half of his. They took them to make room for dessert we ordered, again I'm thinking to box them because ones an entire untouched sandwich and the other is one full half and a part of another. We ordered Lemon Sorbet and Crème Brule, it took over 30 minutes to get the desserts which in its self is wild. Then after we finished and got the check I asked for both sandwiches to be boxed together and our waitress said they already cleared the plates. I reiterated to her that I hadn't even touched mine it was a completely whole sandwich. She apologized but didn't offer to take the sandwich off the bill or have one made to go so at the end of the day I paid over $100 for short rib French fries a side Caesar salad and lemon sorbet/crème Brule. Something about ordering food and paying for food that I didn't eat, nor got to take home to eat just really rubbed me the wrong way. Place was pretty though. Stars for aesthetic I guess. read more

So I'll say this up front, I'm not a fan of the wine, but that's very much a matter of personal taste. I know there are a lot of people who do like it. But, I keep going back because the food is excellent and the staff are friendly. And it's a great outdoor space in the summer. read more

Our party was looking forward to wine tasting tonight . We made sure via their website wine tastings were offered of weekend evenings . Their website showed till 9pm on Saturday. We arrived at 6:45 and they stated to us they stopped wine tasting at 5:00 pm .We showed them their webpage and I was questioned by the staff at the door if that was even their website and tContinued on with how they don't offer wine tasting after 5 pm and their website was wrong . This should have been honored. We had a 7pm reservation there is no reason that this couldn't of been done right at our table . read more

Had an excellent brunch this morning with friends! The wait staff is very attentive and friendly! I got the egg nog pancakes and the egg nog spiked drink (forget the name) but both were excellent! Their drinks are nice and strong though a little pricey for the mixed ones starting at $11. Looking through their dinner menu it's also pricey. We did a wine tasting after too, 5 samples for $8. The facility is beautiful and def worth seeing, just expensive for food and bottles of wine start around $15-17. Yikes. Loved the white alchemy, granite state apple, dry blueberry. read more

This was my second visit to LaBelle Winery in NH. They have done a lot of work since my first time. There were 4 adults in our party, we arrived just as they opened at 11am (and thankfully we got there when we did because it got busy quick!) we stood at the bar snd each did a tasting of wines. They offer many different varieties so there is truly something for everyone. You can also buy the wine by the glass or bottle and take a seat outside to enjoy. The property is quite pretty! They make a few sangrias that I must recommend, perfect for summer or to take to a bbq! Simply chill and you are good to go! The staff working the bar took their time not to rush us and explain how each wine is made. It was a really fun afternoon! Would love to come back for dinner or even one of their sip snd paint nights! read more

Americus - The BLT Burger was pretty good, it came with French fries but we swapped it out for a vegetable. The bun was grilled, every bite has a unexpected crunch in the bun, it was not too much a or too less, service was fine. We love that the bar area has a are off to the side that would be perfect for a party 18-20. The restaurant side of the open concept dining room is welcoming and offers a door to the patio. This is the spot to sit, the patio is covered (partially), and overlooks a pond with changing color fountain that you can hear hitting the water.

Went to LaBelle today to give it another chance after a bad experience years ago. When we got there, we were told they just seated a bunch of people and it could take half an hour for food. No problem - except there was hardly anyone there. I ordered the feta and watermelon salad and it was horrible. The watermelon was soggy and had some odd perfume like taste to it. I asked if they had sparkling water and they only had large bottles, no individual size ones. Something is just off about this place. read more

Went for lunch, sat outside. Service was slow, table had not been wiped down. I had the chicken BLT which was okay. My friend ordered the half chicken. Apparently the kitchen forgot to cook it so it took an extra 15 minutes. It was not fully cooked so had to send it back and got the eggplant in its place which was fine. It took 2 hours for lunch. I have been to La Belles many times and this was by far the worst in every way. Server did not charge for the eggplant entree, thankfully . read more

Note: I haven't been here. Have been looking for a restaurant for Mother's Day. This place offers a brunch for $73 per person.

This place keeps getting better, year after year. It's hard to make wine in NH, especially reds, so I hope some of the negatives aren't due to that because I think they do it better than anyone in New England. The food, though, is top notch, as is the table service. I've never had a bad meal here and am always impressed. It's true, new American style creativity. Definitely a top 5 restaurant in the area and amazing for lunch. read more
