There is fair variety of wine, though you need to take "Local" in its broadest definition. The folks who work here are friendly and helpful, and, if you like wine, the shelves are worth a browse.

As soon as we came in, one of the girls had to use the restroom and the woman pouring wine said "I don't need lot of people going in and out of the restroom fixing their hair and doing their makeup." Which we all just exchanged glances and chose to overlook. Another couple showed up and the same woman said she needed to see everyone's IDs and told the other couple "except you two, you're good" and one person of the couple said "I'm offended, but thanks?" And she continued checking our IDs. When the bride gave her ID to the wine pourer, she took it, looked at it, and threw it down back on the bar, and fell down to the ground. She just said "oops sorry" and proceeded to tell us about the wine. Before she offered to pour any for us, she made sure we knew multiple times that it was $20 a tasting and kept insinuating it might be "too expensive" for us. At this point, we weren't feeling it and just left. Service was awful. Go across the street to The Local Grape where they're hospitable and very welcoming.

The food is absolutely divine with I believe most of the items being made in house & all ingredients are locally sourced with the freshest ingredients.

The owner and staff were super welcoming and walked us through all their offerings, which made the experience even better. We kicked things off with a cider flight--our favorites were Early Harvest and Graveyard. Early Harvest was simple, crisp, and just sweet enough, while Graveyard reminded me of a Scottish smoky cider aged in whiskey barrels. I do wish there were a few more sweet options overall and possibly a current up to date list of what's on tap somewhere online, but everything was well-crafted and flavorful! To cool off, we grabbed a cider slushy (highly recommend!) and wandered the property. We visited the goats, strolled through the apple trees, and made friends with their big fluffy Pyrenees who was living his best life napping in the shade. I picked up a bottle of Early Harvest and a t-shirt to bring back to DFW. It was the perfect stop--relaxed, local, and a great way to start the afternoon before heading into Yosemite. After our tasting, we walked through some of the apple trees, visited the cutest goats, and made friends with their big, lazy Pyrenees dog who was living his best life soaking up attention. I picked up a bottle of Early Harvest and a t-shirt to bring back to DFW--both worth it! Such a charming little spot--relaxed, scenic, and just the right detour before Yosemite!

Didn't make an appointment? Waiting at the gate? CALL THE PHONE NUMBER!…read more We almost missed out on this gem because the gate was closed and we didn't make an appointment. Was about to drive on... But I decided to call and Farmer John was more than accommodating! It's a farm meets vineyard meets winery. Anyways, we called and Farmer John came and opened the gate for our two cars. We came in and parked next to the barn. He gave us the choice of tasting inside or outside - we chose outside. After the 15 minutes he needed to get ready, he rolled out with all the glasses and bottles required for a tasting for 5 adults. Most of the wines are fruit forward but we all really enjoyed that about them. They well blended. John also explained that he's not pressured to put out wines that he doesn't feel meet his standard. This is a passion for him. Great conversations followed. The kids all played around the grounds and even went to go meet the farm animals! We all bought 2 bottles (or more) each to cover our tasting. It was great enjoying this time and the conversations surrounded by green grass and a wonderful farm setting. Definitely will be coming back!
