Judy and Jim were two of the most down-to-earth people you could ever want to meet. The wine was best we had tasted out of the five vineyards we visited. The farm is impeccably maintained. Everything is organic, and there are absolutely no fertilizers or pesticides. If you venture to northern Vermont, their vineyard is a must to add to your trip!

The property itself is beautiful. It's just off of Hwy 2, and as we walked up we were greeted by the "meter greeter", a friendly poodle named Luna. Classical music was being played from the top of a small hill, which only added to the peaceful, lovely scene. We were greeted by Judy, who owns the farm with her husband Jim. She gave us a nice tour of the vines and we got to watch some of the grapes being harvested. Had a taste too--delicious! Then she led us up to the sugar house where they not only ferment the wine, but make maple syrup in the spring. She proceeded to take is through a fantastic wine flight and we even tasted the two premium maple wines. Heavenly! I would love to come back to Vermont someday, and definitely plan to return to the Hillis' farm.

They are also constantly trying new things, so we will be going back next time we are in the area to see what they have. It's in a beautiful area and is worth the drive out there. Very scenic. The husband and wife who own it were wonderful and provide a great tasting experience. They also have a big friendly dog who definitely adds to the experience!

First to review this hidden gem!…read more This winery/vineyard is run by a husband and wife duo. He makes the wine, she makes the rules lol. They were so gracious and gave us such a wonderful tasting experience. We learned about the inception of the wine, the production process and how the unique options are conceived. What do I mean by "unique options"? Well in addition to some well balanced but fruit forward standards such as raspberry wine, strawberry wine or apple rhubarb you will also find squash wine, tomato wine (yup, you read that right) and dandelion wine (which I LOVED). The tasting room is rustic and welcoming, the prices are great and the couple running the joint are fantastic. Add it to your must see Vermont wineries!!

I thought they said this was the last month they would be open because they were moving to distributor sales. Also they have opened a wedding venue business on part of the wine estate. They gave us many small tastes for free. As many as one wanted. They also had various bourbon wines, 2 ice wines and multiple other wines (reds and whites). Tastings were in the front room. No food for sale. I didn't get any pictures since it was so chaotic and late in the day. We bought several bottles to take back. After enjoying at home we wished that we bought more. This was our last winery and our luggage was getting full.

It really depends on your palette, and you have to understand that the grapes local to the area will not be your typical grapes. My family got flights, both sweet and dry. We really liked the 2023 Louise and 2022 Marquette. In fact, the Marquette was the best of the bunch from my point of view. The ciders were both really sweet, but the Eden Angeljus was pretty good and reminiscent of Mead. The Riesling was also a favorite. We got a cheeseboard for two, and that was freaking delicious. It came with a maple cranberry preserve that was out of this world. But the cheese, and even the crackers, were exceptionally good, too. Beyond that, the service was exemplary. Ruby in particular was a joy to talk to and quite good at her job. Finally, the live music they had playing was surprisingly good. I did not expect that kind of quality on a random Saturday in May. I highly recommend going to this winery.

We had a semi-dry, sweet wine tasting! Our assessments: 1. Maple - our favorite! I personally couldn't taste the maple as much but undeniably sweet, but not very that it's overwhelming 2. Brianna - smooth, not too rich, a close runner up to the Maple 3. Highlands Blush - taste like strawberry! Delicious! 4. Arctic Fox - cool and smooth. Wasn't a favorite among the group, but personally I wanted a bottle. 5. Riesling - still delicious, but no surprises here - expected 6. Aromella - very fruity! Looked like a family was running this place. The older lady who served us was so friendly and explained how they make their own maple syrup too! We bought a bunch and can't wait to try.

City tours called us and warned us of the problem and delay which was fine, as we were being picked up at our hotel. They resolved the problem quickly and our guide was there and ready to go within 15 minutes of the originally scheduled time. Our guide Lauren was fantastic! She handled the mishap with grace and without skipping a beat. City tours had to have Ubers take us from brewery to brewery which worked out perfectly fine in the end. On to the tour itself, we were a smaller group, which I loved! We stopped at 4 locations and we sampled A LOT of beer. (I don't understand the reviews saying you barely get 3 drinks because by the end of it my husband and I could barely drink the last beers) We got behind the scenes tours at 2 of the breweries. Goodwater was my personal favorite. Lauren gave us a phenomenal history lesson along the way, which I fully nerded out to.
