St. Julian Winery was my first real wine tasting experience, so I wasn't really sure what to…read moreexpect going in. The place was packed when we arrived and had a lot of energy to it. There were wine bottles everywhere, displays throughout the room, and just a lot to look at while you walked around. Our server was super nice and made the whole tasting really easy. We started with the fruit and cider flight, and that was actually a lot of fun. It was interesting trying them back to back and seeing how different each one tasted. But the one that really surprised me was the Key Lime Pie Martini. I was NOT expecting a dessert in drink form. The rum cream gave it that smooth, creamy sweetness, while the lime brought a bright, slightly tart kick that tasted just like key lime pie. The vanilla and cream made it silky and the graham cracker rim finished it off with that buttery sweetness. It honestly tasted like someone turned a slice of key lime pie into martini and somehow it worked perfectly. Every sip was sweet, creamy, tangy, and just a little refreshing. Definitely the drink I wasn't expecting to love as much as I did. For my first wine tasting experience, I'd say it was a pretty great introduction.

They have an extensive selection of high quality olive oil and many unique wines from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. I've had some excellent bottles from Croatia and Israel.

You'll undoubtedly expand your palate and possibly even find a new favorite bottling. It is a unique store and valuable resource for any foodie or wine lover.

People were hanging out, listening to the music, and enjoying their drinks. The staff were incredibly nice and the recommendations they gave us were spot on. I decided to try the craft canned cocktails, the flavors were Moscow Mule, Lemon Elderflower Vodka Soda, Blackberry Gin Gimlet, Strawberry Margarita, and Grapefruit Paloma. They all had something different going on, but my favorites were easily the Strawberry Margarita and the Blackberry Gin Gimlet. Those two were phenomenal. The Strawberry Margarita was fruity, bright, and super refreshing. It had that sweet strawberry flavor right away, followed by the citrusy tang of the margarita that kept it from tasting too sweet. The Blackberry Gin Gimlet had a deep, juicy fruit flavor with just the right amount of sweetness, while the gin brought in that herbal, slightly crisp flavor underneath. It had a little tartness at the end that made me want another sip almost immediately. They were the kind of drinks that felt perfect for sitting outside on a nice day.

Traveling to Grand Rapids, we stopped along the way for lunch at Tabor Hill Winery. We haven't been…read morethere in years. I forgot how good their restaurant is. We sat outside overlooking the vineyard. Molly was our server. She was friendly and engaging. Lunch was a walleye sandwich with chips for hubby and the fig & prosciutto flatbread for me. The walleye had a crispy crust coating the moist and tender fish. I took a bite of hub's sandwich and it was so good. My flatbread, though, was amazing. I'm all about a good crust and this one was perfection. So crispy, yet light with all air pockets in the crust. Of course, I love anything fig and this didn't disappoint. I ate 3 squares and took the rest with me. Of course being at the vineyard, we ordered a glass of wine. My husband had the albariño and I ordered the sauvignon blanc. I didn't care for the sauvignon blanc. When the manager came by, we raved about the food but I was honest about the wine. She gave me a taste of the chardonnay and she was right. It was good. I was happy she switched my wine. The negatives are the wasps are nuisances, and there were no traps to catch them. I was dodging them the entire meal. I guess it's hazard when dining al fresco. The other annoyance was the water glasses are small, and my water was never refilled and my glass sat empty even with Molly and the manager stopping by during the meal. Since the glass is small, they should leave a bottle of water at the table or make it a point to check and recheck the water glasses. This is a nice stop for lunch on the Michigan wine trail.

Avoid this place if you are searching for a reliable, open establishment…read more This is my 5th time trying to visit this place with a gift card I ordered 2 years ago. I call beforehand, look online, check their socials, and still they randomly are never open. I'm starting to wonder if it is a scam, and hope to get a refund on the giftcard I ordered for my dad and I. I understand things happen with being a family run operation, but frankly it comes off as unorganized & unprofessional. Other vendors and small business owners could be using this space in Michigan City, and it is rather a waste when others could be supporting the community on a more frequent, dependable basis. Please offer more transparency on this lack of consistency & remove the listed "business hours" entirely from both your website and Google maps when they are fairly often not honored. Wanted to support local and regret it due to the flexibility in their standard operating hours. For the goodness of your brand, and just state your hours are "open when we feel like it". Note: I took this photo while outside their door, with no note on it, no word or highlight on their website, Instagram, or Facebook mentioning a last minute closing on Saturday 10/19/24, around ~5:30pm. Thanks!

Inside, the decor is open and bright, with natural light pouring in through large windows.

Wine tasting is done standing at the bar, but you do get a discount on any bottles you purchase. The best deal is the "Build-A-Bag": buy 3 bottles and get a 4th free. My favorites were the 2019 Estate White Blend, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2023 Simply Rosé. On top of all that, the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the visit.

Initially I had planned on tasting and dashing but the woman working was so freaking cool that i just had to reach into my pocket. She knew everything there was to know about the wine from both wineries that they feature. I tried all the bubbly options, some red, some white, and one apricot wine that is a bit sweeter- not dessert sweet, just fruit sweet BUT, here's the kicker, they keep it heated in a crock pot with cider spices like cinnamon, dried orange, cloves, etc... it was amazing! How have I not thought of this before? Of course I should heat up wine with spices instead of actual cider for the holidays! Anyway, the taste and dash didn't happen. I ended up getting 6 bottles and some spices and left with a big ole smile. I will SO be back before X-mas... maybe even a little stop before Thanksgiving too. Just to get a little something to take the edge off, ya know?

When they say "free" they mean it's $8 for the tasting. Yes, you get to keep the glass, but…read morereally, do I want it? And while I do find that off-putting I just really can't complain. Of the four vinyards I visited today, this had my two favorite wines; the Zinfandel at $19.99 and the Rosso for $13.99. Yes, I took two bottles home with me as well as the Mezzo which had a fresh peachy apple taste and only $11.99. Now the Apple Brandy was terrible. Way, way, way too much bite - is that fire coming out my mouth? Yuk! My husband had to finish it for me. His Michigan Brandy was much, much, much smoother. I will give her one thing. I wanted to start with this and she said not to. Thank goodness, because it took a full 20 minutes for my taste buds to recover. So while the $8 fee was the highest amount I have ever been asked to pay for a tasting of any winery I have ever been to, I did really love the Zin, Rosso and Mezzo. And for buying three bottles, I received $5 off. Which ain't bad. The room itself is also nice and big with lots of windows, not claustrophobic like some. When doing an afternoon of wine tasting in Harbor County I recomend starting at Lemon Creek, cross the street to Domaine Berrien, then around the corner to Free Run, down the road to Tabor Hill and back toward the lake at Round Barn. But make sure you eat something along the way. And if you still have the stamina, just before getting back on 94, try Hickory Creek which I always tucker out before I get to, but some day I will make it there. I'll have to start there first next time and do it backwards.
