You will get this reference when you get there. Dawn is one of the nicest lady we've ever met. Her husband Jim was equally amazing. Now the ambiance was interesting in a great way.

We also sampled a couple sweet wines, we generally do not drink sweet, they were also equally amazing. BTW Jim went upstairs and played piano while we were there. Phenomenal !!!!! I just can't say enough good things about this winery. If I could give it a 10 star rating I would. Please give this place a visit. Thanks Dawn and Jim.

It was a bit pricey but the wine was good. The views were amazing! They had a nice porch and patio with seating that overlooked the vineyard and the mountains. They also had blankets that we could borrow to use during our stay which was nice since it was cold! There was also a fire pit but it wasn't lit while we were there. They had seating inside as well. There was a good selection of Ashe county cheese and crackers for purchase to snack on. Would go back!

They have a lot of outdoor seating which it was too cold for but they have some covered and heated outdoor areas as well, which is where we sat. I ordered a mulled wine which was delicious and my friends split the bottle of syrah. I wasn't sure what to expect from wine in NC but I really enjoyed it. They also offer some quick snacks like charcuterie boxes, chips, etc. and have two food trucks on property.

It was the perfect stop after a long day they welcomed our dog, which was a huge us for us. One of the three families that owns the winery had all of their 20 something children working . It was awesome to say the brother and sister getting along so well and helping each other out behind the bar. The cheeseboard was fantastic as was the sourdough baguette. The wine was pretty great too. Don't sleep on getting the blueberry wine. It was fantastic. Kind of tasted like a really good Manischewitz! We also had flights so we tried all of their white wines and and all of their sangrias! The fireplace is roaring which made the 20° weather even more fantastic!! They do have a great outside area with lots of games and places for the children to run. You can even get fish food to feed the fish in the pond.

We came here this weekend to try their wines. We were visiting a couple other wineries that day,…read morebut this was the only new one for us. 5 stars to them for being friendly, dog friendly, and having a great space. I am a sweet wine fan and they did have several to choose from - moscato, peach, blackberry, strawberry, apple, sangria, and cranberry. I loved the flight boards and how they served them. Unfortunately that is where the joy ends. Every single one of their wines tasted like watered down kool-aid or fruit juice - or as Scott said - home kit wines. I tasted no hint of wine in any of their wines. I was so nervous about getting blackberry merlot since merlot is a dry wine, but it was just a light blackberry juice. The only one we remotely enjoyed was the peach. Again, lovely winery, lovely indoor and outdoor seating, great hosts, but the wine is just not my style or preference. I do however recommend going to give it a try since you may love it or just a good winery to visit and hang out at.
