The Vineyard at Florence is a lovely place but on Saturday, an employee - I believe her name is…read moreCrystal truly disrespected me and my guests. I walked in the side door to go to game room (not the restaurant) with 3 other guests and my service dog, who is a small Shih Tzu, he did not have is vest on, but he has been there many time before without his vest. Crystal literally jumps out of her chair in her office and runs in the hallway to scream at me that I can't have my dog in there in front of everyone, she did not pull me to side, she did not use any customer service skills, she just screamed at me. I told her he was a service dog and I think she said well he has to have his vest with the worst attitude. I did as she requested and removed the dog from the building and sat outside with my dog. This was a work meeting for me with clients and she embarrassed me, upset my clients and honestly I have never seen someone so passionate about kicking out a cute shih-tzu in my life. It was like she was having a bad day or something and she wanted to take it out on me. I have been coming to the vineyard over a decade and I've never seen a sign saying no pets allowed maybe the rules changed, and I will gladly comply if they did, but it was not that the fact that she asked me to remove the dog, it was the tone and the way she yelled at me that was so concerning and I think as a vineyard you should know about this incident and that lots of people have pets, Austin is a pet friendly city and she could have been a lot kinder and use some customer service skills to get her point across with the little class and grace that you expect from a vineyard establishment. Everyone is there to have a good time and have a meaningful experience with the staff, not get yelled by an unhinged employee. I have nothing but good things to say about the other employees, everyone is always kind and gracious. Next time we return Louis will have his service dog vest on.

Had dinner with friends at The Vineyard at Florence Saturday. Started with drinks at the bar…read more Friendly service and the kind of atmosphere that you expect at a high end establishment. Knob Creek rocks, Elijah Craig rocks, a Ranch Water (a bit too sweet), and a classic Italian Aperol Spritz. Dinner on the patio starting with a smoked bacon appetizer followed by a wedge salad. Sugared bacon was delicious. Wedge didn't have the salad core removed which was a bit disappointing. Shared a coal-fired Margarita pizza with chicken added. Pizza was cooked perfectly and was delicious with a healthy amount of ingredients, including the excellent blend of cheeses. Our waiter Peter was very professional, friendly and informative. Definitely recommend the Vineyard for an upscale night out with excellent ambiance featuring a Mediterranean decor. Will go back.

The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, the wine selection is thoughtfully put together, and the staff? Absolutely top-notch. Hannah made the entire experience unforgettable. She's incredibly knowledgeable, so kind, and brings such a joyful energy that it instantly puts you at ease. Her passion for wine (and cheese!) is so genuine, and she made the tasting both fun and educational--without ever feeling stuffy or scripted. Every wine and cheese pairing came with a little story or insight, and it completely changed how we experienced each sip. We've done wine tastings before, but this one felt totally different--in the best way. It was personal, engaging, and you could really feel the love behind every detail. We made the trip up from Austin and honestly? We're already planning our next visit. This time, we're bringing more friends so they can see what all the hype is about. Huge thank you to Hannah for making our day so special--we left smiling and can't wait to come back. If you're anywhere near Salado (or even if you're not), this spot is a must. Highly, highly recommend!

The menus didn't include any tasting notes other than dry or sweet, and our server didn't really know much about the wine. We tried a build your own flight and a mocktail though. Nice place to grab a glass of wine and some charcuterie after a hike. The chilled white wine blend was our favorite, however, the reds (made from their grapes) we tried missed the mark. Not sure we'd come back for the wine.

Unlike other places, they limit you to 3 tasting. Chris was amazing! Very knowledgeable of each wine and great recommendations. I'm more of a sweet wine kind of gal but walked away with a glass of dry wine, how is that?! Thank you, Chris! The inside is small and intimate but they also have a covered patio with a beautiful open yard to sit in peace and enjoy. If you're not up for the outdoors, they also have an air conditioned wine lounge with games, music, and tv. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and drop in!

The square is incredibly active with all kinds of restaurants and people are always taking pictures in front of the courthouse, so being able to either sit inside of the air conditioning and watch out or sit outside at a table and just enjoy whatever wine you prefer isn't easy way to spend the evening.

Our server was very young and wasn't very enthusiastic about any of the wines and seemed like she would rather be at home playing video games. It didn't help that she had a face full of pustulous acne and gave little information about each wine and kept walking off. The place wasn't busy and there was another woman doing a tasting with a few ladies on then other side of the bar and some people sitting at the tables having a whole glass. Needless to say we were very disappointed in the whole experience. The wines are all very good and made in super small batches but were very expensive. The tasting even was more than most other wineries in the area. I really enjoyed the Cornelius and Temp-Cab but at nearly 100$ a bottle with no romance story behind them was hard to take any bottles home. She gave as much enthusiasm about each wine as a fast food clerk gives taking your burger order. Then the last wine Ch. Marie LaRose was amazing but why have it on the flight of wines to sample when it's not available to buy? Lower the price of the tasting and leave out the last wine that you can't buy anyway. I would've taken pics but there was really nothing amazing to capture.
