Made a stop at Emerita during the Wine and Bloom Trail this weekend. What a great surprise. I was…read moretold by the staff that this was only their 10th day of being open. All I have to say is WOW! The wine was excellent, especially loved the Merlot and Pinot Noir. The winery itself was great, small, quaint, a very personal atmosphere. Having a fire going in the fireplace on the chilly April day was a nice touch. The staff? Knowledgeable, friendly, fun. Made for a very personal experience. I liked that they even came and talked to us and when we had questions they sent the winemaker/owner over. Can't wait to return and share this new place with friends! Nice job Emerita.

The vibe at South River is definitely unique! The winery is in an old church, and their patio…read moreoverlooks the extensive grape arbors. This was the most crowded of the wineries we visited, and the patios were getting a bit cluttered, as there weren't really trash cans or anybody bussing the tables. I enjoyed the white flight, the Temptation was my favorite, and we shared a fruit and cheese plate with an apple, crackers, bread and a fantastic aged chedder. The apple was served whole, with a steak knife to carve it up yourself, on a Styrofoam plate, so didn't quite match the scenery and overall vibe, and a steak knife is not the right tool to cut a huge honeycrisp apple. So it was a nice snack, but could have been done a little better. FYI - the actual winery is not super accessible - steps up to the front door, the bathrooms are down a flight of stairs, and the outdoor areas for enjoying your wine are mostly accessed by stairs as well.

They have fun with the church theme with a cardboard cut out nun you can take your photo with. Exiting the back of the church you come upon a couple giant flight of stairs that could be a problem for some visitors. These stairs lead to a seating area up on a platform that feels like you are perched on part of a castle overlooking the fields of grapes. I must confess I'm not a wine expert. I enjoyed the flight of dry reds I ordered. My friend ordered the charcuterie board which had a huge wedge of bread and a very tasty cheese we kept begging for more tastes of.

I brought them all up here for a ladies' retreat. I had bragged about the place as we had been there yearly every previous year for the past five years. I was disappointed particularly with the slight to the people who she said owned the condo where we were staying. I actually knew of the owners. And she DID call herself the wine bi$%h, but was quite put out when one of our ladies repeated it back to her. It's not a big deal. I just won't be taking our group there anymore. Pictures below are the owner's requested "proof" that we were there.

It is definitely worth the drive wherever you are coming from. It's the world's finest and largest collection of early wicker baby and doll carriages.

It's the best entertainment you can get for $5. Pair it with a visit to the wineries or to see the covered bridges is you need a better reason to go!

You order at the bar and you can either sit inside or outside. We sat out on the deck, there was a nice breeze and it's a pretty view.
