    I had a great time during the Taste of Childress wine tasting. When you drive up, the property and…read moregreenery is very lovely. The wine tasting room was pretty with a nice layout. Rhonda and Anne were fabulous! They were very personable and equally as knowledgeable. The wine pairings with the food were good. I believe it was chips and hummus, a beef crostini, bacon wrapped date, and a chocolate shot. The food was good. I just wish the crostini was a little hotter and the chips are good with the hummus did taste a slight bit stale. The wine was the star of the show. I even found a red wine that I liked and I don't like red wines. The people in the tasting were So friendly and I enjoyed their company. I also got truffles/chocolate before I left. They were not bad, they just weren't my favorite. I would try other options because there were a lot to choose from. I would love to come back during one of their speciality events. Overall, I'm glad I came.

We came on a busy Saturday and the pourer said this was how it was when it was a race day down in Charlotte. People were bringing their little kids along with them to get their wine on before the race....yikes. The tasting room was nice as I said, large and full of wine to purchase and swag to buy. There were a number of different places in the tasting room (building), I think I counted five places you in different parts of the building you could taste wine. There is a bistro in a separate building, it seemed okay, we didn't get food. The wine was decent, but not stellar, so that is the four instead of five star from me. Worth a visit if you're heading up or down to Charlotte or just are in the area.

    Hey family! Happy Sunday! I will make this quick-ish. I hadn't been to this winery in a couple of…read moreyears and I was a little sad that the older gentleman I met here who was the owner had passed away. He may have appeared not nice but when I visited he was so sweet to me. I circled back and did a tasting and it was great. They do cater to the dryer palate, which I love. It was lovely trying some of the familiar ones and during my tasting, I remembered why I loved this place. The ladies that assisted me in my tasting were very knowledgeable and had excellent conversation. It was such a pleasant experience. They did let me know that the vineyard will be sold in October and hopefully, someone will continue it on. It so chill and lovely and I don't want to see it go away. If you are in the Lexington area, it's just 15 min away from Childress. I always say to support local if you can. If I had the money, I'd buy it lol. I don't want to see it go away. And those that work here, love it. If you're in the area, check it out. Even if you think you don't like wine or have a sweet palate, they will accommodate. I'm glad I stopped in. Cheers! And if you're in the area, please check it out.

    Had heard that they are closing (sad face) but was delighted to discover that it's not until the…read moreend of the year and until then they are open for business! Had a lovely time enjoying a glass of wine in their open-air tasting room on a picture perfect afternoon, accompanied by live music. Service is always friendly and knowledgeable. Cheers!
