It'll absolutely change your mind. Lots of meads have messy fermentation with off-flavors, but 1634 is clean, complex, with notes of honey and fruit. It's just in another class entirely. Even if you don't have time to stop by and have a drink, just pick up a few bottles and take them home.

I had a basic knowledge but he was so informative I walked away smiling that my 30 minutia there were well worth the time. I definitely recommend a stop here even if you're only mildly curious. Most meads are available for a small tasting fee of $3 for a one Oz. pour. I purchased three bottles which were priced at $22 - 25 per bottle. For me anytime I am in Southern New Hampshire this is a must stop. Stop in and support this local business you'll be glad you did.

Moonlight Meadery is no exception to this at all and the mead we had with them was excellent. The mead Steve and I had was the Kurt's Apple Pie.

He explained the company in full detail and walked us through the fermentation process. We decided on the guided mead tasting per his recommendation. We liked the dry. But the cranberry, DAMN YALL. Obviously had to buy a bottle to bring home. No complaints on the apple cyser or the lavender lemonade either. Apple cyser tastes like adult apple juice and lavender lemonade is absolutely crisp in the best way, the mint aftertaste is just an added bonus. I'm interviewing this weekend and this just added an extra bonus for moving to Maine. Fingers crossed the interview goes well just so I can come back here.

The setting is absolutely gorgeous, with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, a peaceful countryside atmosphere, and a quiet, serene setting that made for a truly relaxing evening. Before our reservation, we stopped in the barn next door for drinks. It was such a fun experience! They had a fantastic selection of meads, live music with a talented duo playing '90s rock hits, and even a nice selection of branded merchandise available for purchase. The weather couldn't have been better, and the food was outstanding. We both ordered the baked haddock, and it was absolutely delicious- perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavor. We also highly recommend the Razz "What She Said" draft and the Mango Unchained sour draft, both were refreshing, flavorful, and incredibly tasty. A special thank you to our server, Grace, who made our evening even more enjoyable. She was top-notch-friendly, kind, attentive, sweet, and truly provided exceptional customer service from start to finish. From the stunning mountain views and relaxing atmosphere to the delicious farm-to-table cuisine, craft beverages, live music, and outstanding service, Over the Moon is truly a hidden gem.

Nashoba Valley -- An Enchanting Afternoon Among the Vines, Followed by an Unforgettable Evening!…read more Some places offer a wonderful meal. Others offer beautiful surroundings. And then there are those rare destinations that bring together exceptional food, gracious hospitality, breathtaking scenery and unexpected little moments of delight. Nashoba Valley is one of those places! We visited last week, a party of four, and what began as a leisurely lunch turned into an absolutely magical afternoon and evening. From dining beside the grapevines and wandering through the apple orchards to wine tasting and an exquisite dinner, every part of our visit was a pleasure. Our first stop was The Knoll, where we settled in for lunch surrounded by the beauty of the vineyards. The sandwiches were excellent, and our server was an absolute delight--warm, cheerful, attentive and always smiling. But the highlight of our afternoon was something entirely unexpected. As we sat enjoying our lunch, we noticed the grapevines nearby. When we learned that we were welcome to pick and taste the grapes directly from the vines, we were thrilled! These were the tiniest, sweetest little grapes, bursting with natural sweetness. There we were, four adults, having the most marvelous time plucking grapes straight from the vines and savoring every bite. It was such a simple pleasure, yet it became one of the most memorable moments of our visit. There is something wonderfully indulgent about enjoying nature's bounty right where it grows! After lunch, we took a leisurely stroll through the beautiful orchard, admiring the apple trees and picking a few apples along the way. The grounds were lovely, and the entire experience had that unhurried, quintessentially New England charm that makes an afternoon in the countryside so special. Our next stop was wine tasting, another thoroughly enjoyable experience and a lovely way to spend the afternoon before heading to J's Restaurant for dinner. And what an extraordinary way to end the day! J's is an absolute gem. From the outside, the rustic farmhouse has an understated, old-world charm. Step inside, however, and you discover an interior that is cozy, elegant and stunningly beautiful. It strikes that wonderful balance between refined dining and the warmth of a country home. The atmosphere is inviting and intimate, without a hint of pretension. The dinner itself was phenomenal. Every dish we ordered was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The quality of the food, the presentation and the attentive hospitality made for a truly memorable dining experience. By the time we finished our meal, we were so delightfully satisfied that we simply couldn't contemplate dessert. But J's had one final surprise in store for us! We were told that the owner has a charming tradition for guests who don't order dessert. Moments later, out came the most whimsical little treat: complimentary cotton candy, beautifully presented in elegant glasses! It was completely unexpected, wonderfully playful and such a delightful gesture. After an exquisite dinner, this little flourish brought smiles to all our faces. It was the perfect finishing touch to an already exceptional evening. What impressed me most about Nashoba Valley was the genuine warmth and hospitality we encountered throughout our visit. From our lovely server at The Knoll to the gracious service at J's, everyone made us feel welcome. There is an unmistakable sense of pride and care here, not only in the food and wine but also in the experience they create for their guests. Nashoba Valley is so much more than a winery or a restaurant. It is a destination to be savored. Come for a leisurely lunch, linger among the vineyards, wander through the orchards, enjoy a wine tasting and finish with a beautiful dinner at J's. Better still, bring your friends and family and make an entire day of it, as we did. We arrived expecting a pleasant afternoon in the countryside and left with wonderful memories, full hearts and very full stomachs! An absolutely enchanting experience from beginning to end. We cannot wait to return!

It was a beautiful day, service was friendly, and we also went apple picking, which was a great experience and actually a steal compared to some of the other orchards in the area. I was unfortunately too full of food and apples to try a cider donut, and wish we had taken some home!

You don't get to choose the ones you try that day, she picks them for you but if you're very interested in buying a bottle she might let you try it.

**A Truly Special Place**…read more Fulchino Vineyard will always hold a special place in our hearts. My wife and I were married there five years ago, and every time we return, we're reminded why we chose it for such an important day. The wine is exceptional, the food is fantastic, and the setting is beautiful, but what really makes Fulchino stand out is the hospitality. **Al is an incredibly hands-on owner** who genuinely cares about his guests. He's always welcoming, sharing his knowledge and making sure everyone is having a great experience. That same warmth carries through the entire staff and the service is always outstanding. Five years after our wedding, we still love coming back. Great wine, great food, wonderful people, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. **Al and his team have created something truly special in Hollis. Five stars without hesitation!**
