We had a lovely experience at grandfather Vineyard recently while on vacation. We decided to come…read moreon a whim while staying in seven devils and enjoyed lovely life, music, and lots of local vendor foods and treats. The grounds were absolutely beautiful with ample seating, both near the water and across the yard near the stage. The staff was great about consistently cleaning up to keep away bees, or any sort of other pests. It was lovely to see so many families and even dogs which made it a more casual and fun experience overall. We tried the dry flight and overall really enjoyed it! We are usually red wine drinkers, but overall actually preferred the whites instead. Only negative was that they didn't have any of the umbrellas set up at the tables and the sun was quite bright and hot that day so it was difficult to find a location with shade and a table. We had to choose two chairs under some shade and use a third chair as a temporary table which made our experience a little less comfortable. We ended up purchasing two bottles of the white wines from our flight and would highly recommend others coming back in the future.

We've gone to Twisted Vine Winery multiple times now since my last review and just wanted to update…read moremy review. We recently came here for a wine flight and cider flight. It was at the end of the day, so they weren't very busy, but still received excellent service. Wine Flight: SOS - This is a white sangria wine. We've had this one before and it was very good, definitely sweet. Bodacious - This is a peach wine, which was new to us. It was very good, very peachy. Definitely would rank this one as one of my favorite peach wines. Summertime Pink - This was a watermelon and strawberry blend. I could taste the watermelon more, but others in my group could taste the strawberry more. Slushy of the day - summer sangria which is a blend of raspberry and peaches. Strong on the raspberry, but I still enjoyed it. Cider Flight included Pineapple, Blackberry, Peach, and Blood Orange. They always have four on tap at a time. We love their ciders and something we come for every time. We normally get growler refills, but they just started to can their ciders. They have started with peach and blackberry. I appreciate the cans since the growlers are too much to drink at times, even when they did the larger bottles as well. This allows me to have a little bit at a time. So I look forward to them doing more flavors in cans. Ciders - In order of how we liked them from most to least - but note we love all of them as they are sweet ciders: Cranberry Peach Blackberry Blueberry Blood Orange Pineapple Highly recommend Twisted Vine if you are in the area for their wines or ciders. PS - they are dog friendly. Friendly to us as well. :)

I also have a very large covered area as well as a fully enclosed room which came in handy today because the mountains are finally getting some rain after about 7 weeks of drought. Will definitely come here again when in the area and most likely will come up here to get a tree this Christmas.

The wine is fantastic (try a wine slushee during the summer when they have them) Try the Red Hawk, you will not be disappointed. Also a fan of the honeysuckle, although my husband is thoroughly impressed with most of them! I am not a wine drinker quite like he is so those are two of my favorites when I do decide to indulge. The wine slushees are fantastic to me and him alike. They offer a wide variety of snacks and drinks you can purchase or you can bring your own cheese and crackers along! We love going for the music and food truck events and we drive about 2 hours just to visit, so we definitely recommend! Situated right on the river you can enjoy the water while you enjoy all the vineyard offers!

There are board games available to play while you are there. Out back is a new patio area with several fire pits.

Some non-alcoholic options are available, but not many.

I first stumbled upon this place about 3 years ago when I drove from Boone with my dog exploring…read morethe area. I stopped in, brought him with me (they're dog friendly!) , and tasted some wines. Delicious! I've since been back many times, bringing my cousin, friends, parents, and boyfriend. Everyone loves the wine here! I am not a sommelier so I can't explain my reasons for liking wine or not, but it seems that literally every wine is delicious. I usually go for the flights which include small pours and a souvenir tasting glass. Last time I was here a few months ago, I think my boyfriend and I ordered 3 flights so that we could taste and share all 12 red, white, and blend wines. Good choice, and relatively inexpensive. The food here is also good. I don't think they have a standard menu, but I've tried both the pepperoni pizza and a BBQ sandwich meal from here. When ordering food initially, it was just meant to "hold us over" until we got to the next place. But hot damn, the food is seriously DELICIOUS. Trust me and order from here! Lastly, this location is in an old schoolhouse. There's a lot of history here and the folks are willing to share that with you. Just talk to them! I'll have to admit that the winery itself is not as nice on the eyes as some others nearby in terms of being fancy or chic or whatever... instead, the vibe is homey, quaint, and welcoming. Bring a friend or two, make the drive, and enjoy!
