One sweet, which I don't care for sweet wines, the second, which I chose was lacking flavor. No body to the wine. Very disappointing. My wife tried 2 whites, she didn't care for either. They did not have a chardonnay or anything close. The traditional cheese tray was obviously pre- cubed cheeses, some plain soda crackers and a half a peach. I asked about getting a half order or the "gourmet " cheese tray but the server said they don't offer it because everything is pre-proportioned, which leads me to believe it's from Costco or the like. All in all pretty disappointing. Ww love stopping at wineries but unless friends want to go, ill avoid this one. We have frequented the orchard store for decades but even that has gotten so expensive we have cut back.

With a vineyard, fruit tree orchard, full kitchen, gift shop and the most excellent donut truck, this place rocks! The main attraction is a beautifully decorated chalet. Did a flight of every wine they had. Ended up loving three of them, including the Chardonnay, Bourbon Barrel Aged Apple wine, and the Pinnacle Rrd. Got a bottle of Chardonnay for the table and took the other two home. Service was crazy good. Brooke was attentive, quick, and had the nicest smile you've ever seen. She should be on the silver screen! Super friendly, the manager, I think her name was Emily, sat down at our table and exquisitely described each wine while we sampled the precious nectars. The owner also stopped by and explained how he's the third generation of Scottish immigrants growing up on the land we sit on, where his great great grandfather planted the pear trees still producing fruit today. Seeing that this was Mother's Day, they went over the top with a free bouquet of flowers for the moms in our family. Tried the donuts and thought I was going to heaven. Can't wait to stumble across this place again!

We recently stayed at the Red Fern Inn, in the Kelly's Island suite. We had a wonderful stay,…read moreand I can't say enough about the staff, the amenities and the comfortable vibe of the Inn. The decor is so interesting and tasteful, perfect for the area. The kitchen was equipped with full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster, stove/oven and all the other items you could need. We had two children with us, so it was great to have a fully stocked kitchen. Bonus - they have a winery on the property, Rocky Point Winery. It was so fun and convenient to be able to go downstairs and order a glass of wine (beer/mixed drink), enjoy a tasty snack and sit at the lovely patio and garden areas. It has a nice selection of gifts to purchase at the winery as well. As I mentioned, the owner and staff were so accommodating and responsive. I highly recommend the Red Fern Inn for your next stay up at the "islands".

It's a great place on a winter day to sit by the fire and have some wine or beer (or their spiked hot chocolate options are AMAZING!) They have a smaller but very well crafted menu. And they always have specials. We have eaten a few of the times we are there and been happy with the food. They do flights too... and you can mix up the options and have wine and spiked hot chocolate on a flight. Have I mentioned the live music? Most weekends they have one or 2 musicians playing. The staff is all super friendly too. We'll be back. Many times.

They have reasonable priced wines varieties of wine from sweet to my favorite dry reds. There is also craft beer, ciders, creative charcuterie, home made crackers - breads and, from what we spoke with the owners, even more local sourced items to come. Grounds & patio are beautifully landscaped including a waterfall flowing into a small pond. We sat on their the around porch to enjoy the beautiful sunset and nice selection of music as well. They feature cozy modern rustic decor inside, even some pictures from Trowbridge area and neat antique items. I can't wait to sit on their beautiful couch by the fire with a tasty beverage, later this year. This new wine bar is relaxing place and the food is a welcome change from our typical bar food in this area. Bonus, the genuinely nice owners who took time to introduce themselves & share their background. We liked the staff who knew their wine selections, were kind and didn't rush our girls evening out. The wine bar is only 15 minutes from Oak Harbor OH about 20 from Oregon, OH in a beautiful quiet country area. Hours are a bit limited as they just opened, Thurs, Fri & Saturdays 4-10, on Elliston Trowbridge just past the tracks in Trowbridge - year round!!!!

I can't tell if they can do it all, but I can tell their frutti di mare was excellent and so it was their Bolognese. Their fried calamari appetizer was good but it could use a different sauce.

Little known fact: Touché,…read moreaside from a slightly different seating arrangement, carries the same food and drink menu as Chez Francois. Like Chez, you need to make reservations in advanced as far as possible online. We just had a quick cocktail, but know that it's no easy feat to choose from their beautiful and expansive menu! At the suggestion of our wonderful server, I had the cucumber moscow mule, which was so delightful and refreshing on a hot day. Come later in the evening on a weekday and you'll have the opportunity to sit outside on the riverfront. If you're like me and still not dining out aside from a patio visit here and there during a less busy time, you can feel good about visiting here outside. Touché's outdoor patio has a lovely ambiance, only increased by the charm of the city of Vermilion and the channel leading onto Lake Erie. Bring a friend, a date or a special occasion. You'll still want to be dressed up and make those reservations as far as you possibly can. We only had a quick drink, but I'll be back to try the food!

This review is strictly about their event room rental. We just had a baby shower there and it was…read moreless than ideal to put it nicely. They stated they had air conditioning upon reserving the room, they may have one mini split hanging on the wall but it makes 0 difference in the summer. I, 7 months pregnant was beyond uncomfortable and my guests were also very uncomfortable. We had to bring our own fans to the event to get some relief. Another thing, when we were setting up we asked to fill up our water pitcher and the staff working told us no, we couldn't use their tap water.. so someone had to go panic buy jugs of water at the store right before the party started. Would NOT recommending renting this room in the summer time unless you want to have an event in a room that feels like a sauna.

Place is super cute and the wine bar is set up like most. You walk in, they have lots of seating, they have a gift shop, a bar tasting area, and an outdoor area. We tried all the available whites by the glass. The Pinot Blanc was our favorite. So much so we ordered a bottle to go. The Riesling and rose were a close second favorite. Chardonnay was good too but it's buttery so maybe better suited (for me) in the colder season. Today was a hot day out. Ohhhh and the chocolate red wine tasted like a tootsie roll pop! So here's the deal- you can order flights of wine for $12 or you can create your own 1 ounce flight tastings for $1 each pour. We did the white flight and then ordered our 1 ounce pours of the other whites. Food- we had the chocolate, the small cheese board (not small, but a good serving size), and the hummus. Manager- my only recommendations: 1) Hummus app- use real cut carrots. Not the processed baby carrots 2) Sauvignon Blanc- use the one from New Zealand for the flight tasting. You'll get more likes Love the place overall and if I lived in the area I'd be back more often!
