They sell High Horse seltzers which are infused with THC and we tried those too, also tasty.

I will patronize a local business that's closer to me next time.

Absolutely blown away by the service, the mead, and prices!…read more I became a member today because with the two tastings that are included and the bottles I planned it buy, it is going to save me so much! Joy walked us through 16 different meads, and was so wonderful to chat with. All were great and I've tried a lot of meads. If you like sweet and even savory, this is for you. The best meadery in the area (Durham included). Favorites were: Gallberry Traditional, Blackberry, Spiced Apple, Elderberry Most interesting flavors: Ginger, Honey Cloer, Nordic Blend Thank you Joy, we will return!

We stopped by on a Sunday just before opening and were warmly welcomed by Chris and Susan, who immediately made us feel at home. Their hospitality set the tone for a wonderful tasting experience. We started with two tasting flights, working our way through the whites before moving on to the reds. The standout of the day was Summer Dreams, a refreshing and playful white that's both floral and elegant. It was the perfect wine for a warm afternoon, and we enjoyed it so much that we ordered a chilled bottle to share on-site. The Summer Dreams paired wonderfully with an assortment of everything crackers, salami, and a delicious goat cheese tapenade from Celebrity Dairy Farm. We had planned to wander outside and explore the vineyard views from the porch, but the summer heat had other plans! Before leaving, we picked up a bottle of Purple Martin to take home. This semi-sweet red delivers inviting plum and black cherry flavors. The wines were excellent, the setting was charming, and the service was genuinely welcoming. FireClay Cellars is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended.

Botanist and Barrel is worth your time for so many reasons:…read more 1. Cider that doesn't taste like it was produced by a blind platypus with an addiction to sugar. 2. The drive is beautiful- even if it might be long, depending on your starting point. 3. It's a peaceful, lovely spot where you can relax and hang out. With or without friends, this place has serenity etched into its bones. 4. Service is knowledgeable and prompt. But if you're claustrophobic don't wait at the bar indoors. Parking is plentiful, there are outdoors shades, birdsong, and again- cider. They also have beer and wine available. Bring your dog, bring your friends, bring your thirst. They're all welcome here.

Such an incredible establishment!…read more North Carolina has a bit of my heart when it comes to establishments such as the Botanist and Barrel. Both a natural winery and natural cidery, this place has something for everyone. With an INCREDIBLY laid back experience in mind, I recommend you visit this site on a nice day, bring a picnic and enjoy a selection of thier best offerings in thier back yard. My wife and I recently came for their anniversary celebration, where they had wine sampling, live music, and a pizza oven. With such a great space, such great beverages, and fun music, there is nowhere I would have rather been. Now let's talk about their beverages. We had samples of their wines, and we also bought a flight to ensure we sampled the full spectrum. All of their wines are made using the natural method, which means that they have exactly one ingredient - grapes. Their wine brand goes by the name of DeFi, and these are all NC and VA-procured grapes, fermented and bottled on-site. I especially loved each of their Pet Nats along with the Piquette Rouge. These wines are all bone dry and bring in some wanted natural notes, which I love in natural wines. Oh, and their ciders! I had never heard of a Pet Nat cider, but now I am all in! All deliciously dry and complex with fun added fruit flavors. I am especially fond that they use the only North American tropical fruit - the Paw Paw in their ciders. The produce used in their ciders is harvested locally as well, and with the amazing combination of different apples used in their ciders, each is unique and delicious. They also have an amazing little market with local specialties, which is based on an honor payment system (something I have rarely seen). If you are anywhere in the Raleigh-Durham area, I highly recommend stopping by and enjoying the amazing offerings here. You will not regret stopping by.

I've been hearing about this Bull City Burger spot for over two months, (noted for their tasty…read moregrass-fed beef) and in watching the reviews -- I figured that the experience should be very pleasant; to the eyes and the palate. I was hoping I would not be disappointed. Downtown Durham on Parrish Street I do believe. I went there midday and there was a sparse lunch crowd already seated when I arrived. The warmly lit space presents nice aesthetic as you walk into the restaurant. A very chill and comfortable atmosphere. I love the bar and the mirrored wall nestled behind it. The spot is pretty laidback and very clean, but has a bit of a rustic nuance to it as well. I like that. The serving staff were extremely nice and helpful towards advising me in making my selection -- with me being a first-timer and all. I kept it simple...I chose the Classic Burger (pink) with pepper jack cheese, bacon marmalade, and as a side, I had to go with the Dirty Fries -- 'cause that's how I roll y'all. About the food: I have to say, the burger was staunchly built and crafted with artistry. Nice and tall with a seriously tasty bun encapsulating everything. Perfectly well-seasoned meat and the first bite was simply delightful. I noticed as I got towards the center of the meat, it was bit less juicy than the surrounding parts of the burger, but nevertheless still tasty. My Dirty Fries were delicious In the end; the experience as a whole was quite delightful and I would definitely like to go there again -- perhaps try a different burger to expand upon my experience with this place. Gotta try out That Bar y'all! I do recommend it for those who haven't had a chance to go by there to check it out.

The interior is…read morenice and vibrant, with a perfect mix of minimalist and maximalist designs in the building (especially with the brewery apparatus being visible--which is awesome!!). Even before me an my party entered we could hear music playing from the building, which kept the vibes up! Moving onto the food, a certain menu item caught my eye. Something that I'm legally obligated to keep quiet about... but let tell you- this burger was Gooood. This "Signature Secret Burger" was rather unique, as it was like you took a pretty simple egg burger, and just ramped it up. My initial thought when I first tried it was that it was a burger squared, the mystery ingredients amplified the flavor to make such a savory meal. It wasn't to overbearing like many other burger places that I've visited, not immediately making me feel fat and full after taking a few bites. Our party also ordered a whole quart of fries, and they were SO GOOD!!! I'm a sucker for good fries, and you knocked this out of the park! Your fry soft was nice and mellow and complimented the fries perfectly. (And even afterwards, the fries warmed up really well and were still Really freakin' good!) Finally, during my visit, their anniversary event (Happy 15th By The Way ) and they were offering FREE DESSERT for someone who happened to sit in a randomly chosen seat. And by the luck of the gods my little brother found his way onto the seat! It was just really awesome to see a restaurant doing such awesome things for their birthday, y'don't see that every day! Overall, this place is definitely a place to stop by if you're in Durham. If you're in the area visit IMMEDIATELY if you love good fun food!
