    Great venue!! Great service!!…read moreGreat food!!! Great people!! Highly recommend!! Everting ran on time.

    1-Star Review…read more Absolutely horrible and upsetting experience. What was supposed to be a beautiful wedding day was cut short because the venue shut the wedding down, and we did not even get to stay for the entire event. One staff member in particular--the shorter woman working that day--had an extremely rude and hostile attitude toward our guests. Rather than communicating professionally or attempting to de-escalate the situation, she called the police and claimed that the bride had threatened her, which was not what we witnessed. She also accused us of planning to leave with open bottles when we were not even leaving the property. What made this especially disturbing was that our group is made up of proud immigrants and people of color. Having the police called on us in the middle of a wedding over accusations that we believed were untrue made everyone feel incredibly unsafe and unwelcome. Everyone in our group has proper legal status, but that did not erase the fear and discomfort created by suddenly having law enforcement brought into what should have been a celebration. Based on our experience, if you are anything other than white, I would be extremely cautious about booking this venue. I can only speak to what we personally experienced, but the way our group was treated left us feeling singled out, uncomfortable, and disrespected. We understand that venues have rules and staff have the right to enforce them. What we do not understand is why the situation needed to be handled with such hostility and escalated to the point of involving police and ultimately ending someone's wedding early. A wedding is something people spend months or even years planning and thousands of dollars celebrating. No bride, groom, family, or group of guests should have their night end this way. What should have been a beautiful memory instead became an upsetting experience that many of us will remember for all the wrong reasons.

    This is hands down the best winery I've ever visited. From the moment we arrived, the owners were…read moreincredibly welcoming, accommodating, and genuinely friendly. It's truly a hidden gem my daughter discovered while browsing Google during her last visit with us before heading back to Illinois the next day. Our children were home for the holidays, so this ended up being a last-minute plan--and what a pleasant surprise it was. The atmosphere was super relaxing, the wine was excellent, and we absolutely loved the cranberry and blueberry wines. My son had the best time playing with the owners' golden retriever Charly which made the visit even more special for our family. We also loved that they offer craft classes, adding a fun and creative touch to the experience. We'll definitely be back!

    This place is the real deal. From the second you step onto the property, you feel like you've found…read morea secret oasis of good vibes, great wine, and even better company. I came for the wine, stayed for the food, and ended up dancing to live music under the stars. Their charcuterie boards are divine, thoughtfully prepared and super fresh. The wine? SO good. Bold, flavorful, and clearly made with love and attention. You can tell this is a place where people genuinely care about what they're doing. What really sets this place apart, though, is the way they bring the community together. Whether it's through events, partnerships with local vendors, or just the general welcoming atmosphere, it's clear this winery is deeply rooted in local pride. I'll be back again and bringing friends.
