Absolutely phenomenal…read more This is a new distillery in Newton on Northwest Boulevard. Given that it's fairly new, they don't seem to be open every day quite yet - they're currently open from Wednesday to Saturday, with additional appointments available on Saturday. Everyone working here is extremely nice, passionate, and knowledgeable - it's just a fun place to be. The liquor here is absolutely phenomenal. The Boundary Street Whiskey is bright, fun, and easily better than anything at its price range. The Boundary Street Bourbon is smooth and tasty, to to the point where I enjoy it on its own, even without ice. I was even more impressed by the Boundary Street Maple, which is Warehouse Distillery's whiskey flavored with maple syrup - it's not only is it delicious on its own, but it could easily make some amazing cocktails. If you're in the market for good whiskey or bourbon, you really owe it to yourself to get it from Warehouse Distillery - it's way better than anything you could possibly find elsewhere, in North Carolina or otherwise.

We came here this weekend to try their wines. We were visiting a couple other wineries that day,…read morebut this was the only new one for us. 5 stars to them for being friendly, dog friendly, and having a great space. I am a sweet wine fan and they did have several to choose from - moscato, peach, blackberry, strawberry, apple, sangria, and cranberry. I loved the flight boards and how they served them. Unfortunately that is where the joy ends. Every single one of their wines tasted like watered down kool-aid or fruit juice - or as Scott said - home kit wines. I tasted no hint of wine in any of their wines. I was so nervous about getting blackberry merlot since merlot is a dry wine, but it was just a light blackberry juice. The only one we remotely enjoyed was the peach. Again, lovely winery, lovely indoor and outdoor seating, great hosts, but the wine is just not my style or preference. I do however recommend going to give it a try since you may love it or just a good winery to visit and hang out at.

The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave me a summary of his wines and ciders. But down to earth and made the experience!

A semi-sweet wine and highly recommend! Cannot wait to visit again soon!

We stopped by Perry's Berry's Winery after a hike this summer. There were people there enjoying…read morepicking of blueberries, but we were there for the wine! Here is what we had with our two wine flights: *Blueberry Reserve - this was only okay, my husband liked this one more than I did. *Muscadine - this was good, but being that NC exceeds in muscadine wines, we have just had better muscadine wines. Even with that said, we still enjoyed it. *Plum - very fruity, and very good. We both really enjoyed this one. *Peach - this was a nice peach wine. *Scuppernong - this was very good, really enjoyed the flavor. *Strawberry - this was only okay, the least favorite of the day. *Blackberry - this was only okay, wanted stronger blackberry flavor. *Creekside Crush Sangria - this was okay, we have had better "sangria" wines. We felt it was strong in the blueberry flavor, but I get where they are going with the additional fruity flavors in a red wine. Slushy of the day: *Peach Pina Colada - this was SO good! I would have never thought to combine peach and pina colada, but it worked! It was very refreshing on a hot summer day. Overall, we enjoyed our wine flights. We both agreed our top 3 were plum, scuppernong, and muscadine. We went home with a bottle of the plum. Other things to note: *They have four non-carbonated ciders, but they are not available for a flight. As we love ciders, we bought all four to try at home. We have only tried the peach mango so far - it has more mango than peach, but still really good flavor. We were both left wanting it to be carbonated like other traditional ciders we enjoy. It just seemed off, otherwise, it would have been up there with some of our favorite ciders. *They have a small bistro onsite. I was not expecting anything of it, but we split the chicken and spinach crepe, and it was wonderful! *They are dog friendly in certain areas, which we appreciated since we hike with our family canine! We definitely enjoyed our visit here, and it won't be our last. I definitely recommend if you are in the area.

The two employees in the truck greeted us and informed us of their business and available products. They offered canned wines, wine slushies, and wine slushy to-go mix. We tasted each of the 4 canned wines and the slushy. I personally liked the blackberry wine best. The slushy was refreshing and sweet, perfect for a NC summer day. The employees were friendly and patient. They answered all of our questions and are clearly passionate about their business. We chose to purchase the refillable slushy cup with $5 refills at any of the events they attend. Later in the day we returned to purchase to-go slushy mix to make in the future. All you do is put it in the freezer! Overall, we had a great experience here and recommend these wines to others!
