Villa Appalaccia Winery is a self sufficient vineyard and bottling operation with a variety of Italian inspired wines. The grounds are breathtaking with mountainside views and Italian inspired architecture complete with a stone fired pizza gazebo. They had live music on the porch which was such a lovely perk. The staff was very welcoming, warm laid back and kind. Tastings are $15 and worth every penny to taste all 8 of their featured wines. All of the wines are dry, which I loved but they also had one dessert wine, a bubbly prosecco, and a rosé sangria. All the wines had unique and interesting noses and were clean and balanced, many vintages having won awards. The Sangiovese was my favorite. The winemaker also let me try a coveted sip of "The Buffalo" wine which is aged in bourbon barrels giving it a rich leggy, almost fortified texture and finish that is very unique on the palate. This is a must stop destination if you are so fortunate to be in the area of Floyd, you will not leave dissatisfied.

There was ample seating outside the checkout area; about half the seats and tables were under a covered, very large screened porch, the other half is out in the sun with large umbrellas to provide shade. The vineyard itself is small but the view is pretty and the wine we had was very good. The staff were all helpful and friendly. They have one bathroom available to customers but it was very clean, well-stocked with supplies, and the water was hot with good pressure (which is important for hand cleanliness). This trip was a 5 hour drive from where we live, so if we come back again, it would be for another family reunion. But, if you're local or a short drive away, it's definitely worth checking it out.

They made me and my group feel comfortable, safe and welcomed. The property itself is quaint and sweet. We strolled through their small lavender field, visited the gift shop and a few weekend vendors selling jewelry, soaps and other goods. Everyone was warm and friendly. The bar had a wide array of wines and organized the bottles (so reasonably priced or just $7 per glass) by red, white and dry to semi-sweet or sweet. Four of us split two bottles of the semi-sweet white wine. It was given to us in a bowl of ice with plastic cups. Everyone wore masks and they sold me one for $2 (masks required for everyone interacting at the bar or inside the gift shop establishment). The white win was just sweet enough and so refreshing on the warm late June afternoon. However, it was their specialty pizza that truly made the experience extra-ordinary. Their lavender specialty pizza was phenomenal. I was blown away by the lavender-infused pizza sauce. I've never had such a unique pizza and would return just for a slice of the artisanal masterpiece. It comes topped with greens, feta, grapes, bacon (which I omitted) and a lemon balsamic. The bread itself was light and the crust was seasoned and fresh tasting. I can't say enough about this pizza. Do me a favor and try it for yourself. All in all, this was the perfect treat (and reward) for an 8-mile round trip hike. Highly recommend!
