You get history about the house, the family, the vineyards and the wine while you sip and enjoy each wine. Yes, it's 10 wines.

The bartenders were super kind and patient as we tried several beers. I went for the Sun Burn summer ale and it is the PERFECT beer for sitting by the pool or on the boat probably getting more sunburned than you should. It's light and crisp and easy to drink! I really loved it! It's all I drank all evening. There's lots of tables and perfect for meeting friends or hanging out after work. They don't have food available l, but we were told it would be fine if we went next door grabbed Moe's and came back over. Definitely add this to your beer tour of Roanoke!

The Donuts vs Mermaids was absolutely amazing! They had 20 on tap. Tapped Wine (4/5): I tried a red organic wine (1/5) and a rose (5/5). They had 12 on tap. Beer & Wine to-go options (5/5): They had so many different types of wine, beer, seltzers, and mead to choose from! You can buy single cans, but they are more per than just buying the pack. Process (5/5): This place is pretty neat! You start a tab, you get a card, and you insert the card into slots in order to pour your own beer or wine. You can control how much you want since you only get charged on how much you pour! I love this idea! Seating (4/5): The outside seating was limited. 1 room that was outside and LOUD, 1 room that was connected to the outside room and the inner room surrounded by windows, and then the main inner room with tables and was opened to the beer & wine mart side. Definitely a nice place to check out when you want a bit of everything.

They always have great beer on tap from some of the top breweries in the world, and their brewer makes some top notch stuff as well (especially sours). It's pretty big and has the cleanest bathrooms I've seen at a brewery. I've never had any of their deli type menu but it looks solid. Only con is that I spend too much between here and the inevitable trip to Mellow Mushroom after.
