The paté/terrine (pork and maybe duck or rabbit?) would have been perfect, with big chunks of pork and nicely done, had it not been for the salt content. WAY too much salt. Had it been served with plain fresh bread, it would have been less noticeable. The bread is $12 ! I'm sure the butter that comes with it is great but I did not order it. I might have, at $6. The beet salad was good, not exceptional. The wine pours are very short. We were disappointed.

When you walk in, you're greeted by a friendly hostess and the vibe is awesome for a date night or evening with friends Wine selections- love them. It's enough that you have choices without being overwhelmed. I opted for the Sangiovese and I'm currently trying to figure out who sells it where I live since we're just visiting Burlington! They also have a cava from a vineyard that I walked by in Spain a few summers ago so they're selling the good stuff. We ordered the bread and butter which I originally felt was elevated pricing but we felt the butter made it worth it. Meatballs were good but not my favorite of all time. Loved the pasta dish. It's truly homemade and as a pasta maker myself, you can tell that a lot of effort goes into it. Service was wonderful with attentive people who are happy to share their favorites with you. We would definitely come back for either dinner or some small bites and wine!

I had such a wonderful experience visiting this winery in Shelburne, just outside of Burlington…read more The setting alone is worth the trip -- classic Vermont beauty, peaceful surroundings, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay all afternoon. The wines were excellent. Each one was thoughtfully crafted and beautifully balanced, with flavors that really reflected the character of the region. Whether you prefer something crisp and refreshing or smooth and bold, there was something to love. What truly made the visit special was the people. The staff was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful without ever feeling pushy. They took the time to explain the wines, share insights about the vineyard, and make the experience feel personal. The service was exceptional from start to finish -- attentive, friendly, and professional. You can tell they care deeply about both their wine and their guests. If you're anywhere near Burlington or visiting Vermont, this winery is absolutely worth a stop. I can't wait to go back.

We were warmly greeted, and they inquired if we were there for a table/bar seating, or the retail shop. We sat at the bar, and there were other customers at tables enjoying a glass and engrossed in conversation. They offer a small snack menu, along with a selection of wines, and they have a good knowledge and will provide counsel on the options. We ordered the ricotta toast and the lonzo, a ham similar to prosciutto. Both were delicious! The lonzo comes with a drizzle of quality olive oil on top, and a sprinkle of salt, and a dab of mustard. The ricotta toast (no pic sorry) was also tasty. The space leans to industrial loft, but is warm and invites conversations and relaxation. The shop also has a retail space, and a monthly wine club subscription is an option. It is separated from the restaurant, but not a quirk of their shop, but archaic Vermont liquor laws. We decide to subscribe and picked up our first selections to take home.

We sat at the bar for glasses of wine with lots of treats: a bowl of yummy olives, fancy tinned fish, bresaola, mind-blowing new award-winning blue cheese from Jasper Hill (withersbrook) and a cherry, tomato, almond, burratini salad...all served with slices of excellent bread. Perfect accompaniments to each plate: lemon and garlic with the fish, cherry conserves with the cheese, etc... We'll be back again and again, with friends in tow.

I stopped here on a road trip traveling from Wisconsin to Maine. The coffee was exceptional- great…read moretaste, smooth, and the cafe was cute and had a nice vibe. The reason I'm giving a 2-star review is because there is a wood bench on the side of the building by the parking lot. I went to sit on the bench and it flipped up in the air like a teeter totter and it was scary! I could have seriously been injured but I was able to jump off right away. I also had my 10 pound dog with me when it happened. I went inside and told a gentleman behind the counter what happened. He was nice and came outside with me and explained that the bench often gets backed into by cars in the parking lot and then it gets moved out of place. I have no idea why, if this is clearly a known issue, that the bench is not stabilized for safety reasons. If this happens next time to a child or an elderly person, this could end in consequences or someone getting seriously hurt.

We finally found something decent. Our server was polite, but seemed overly distracted, not sure if she had too many tables or not. We saw our drink order at the bar and had to point her back at it to get them. The food was, sadly, hopelessly average. Not a lot of flavor. We were disappointed overall. Again, not worth the time and money spent. It's a great location, it's clean. We try to avoid the chain restaurants on vacation. Love trying the local places. This missed the mark. As we're in the area at least 4 times a year it's unlikely we'll waste our time. Good luck.
