The hubs got sloop juice bomb IPA which WAS light and delish. I had the white flight. It was a nice variety in the flight. I am a Chardonnay girly but the Millbrook was too light, I'm more buttery gal. Surprisingly I loved the Pinot Gris. My second best was the dry Riesling. The charcuterie board was good, the meat selection was good, there was a spicy selection which was my fav.Over all the winery was top notch, good selection of whites, good beer for non winos. The ambience was industrial yet modern which I loved. It was light, airy . 10/10 too bad it's so far from home.

Had a wonderful time at Hummingbird Hills Winery on Sunday afternoon. A tasting that was…read moreeducational and involved a lot of unique flavors. Quality: While I didn't fall in love with any particular wine at Hummingbird Hills Winery, the experience gave me a greater appreciation for the creativity and challenges involved in the process. They had a few standard white and red wines, but the menu is filled with lots of fruit wines and specialty wines. Bink's Blackberry Burst was a highlight of the fruit wines, really capturing the blackberry flavor. The speciality wines are even more unique, Goofy Garlic Ginger, Hummingbird Coco Red, and Lion's Tooth Blend, which is a Dandelion Wine. Each one with a cool story and history. Quantity: Wine Tasting came with seven selections, and we ended up trying a few more. Value: $10 for a Wine Tasting. Ambiance: Hummingbird Hills Winery is located in upstate New York, not too far from Albany. They have a large property where they grow their own grapes, and flowers. The tasting room is in a large building. It has bars on both sides with plenty of stools for guests to utilize. Reusable boards and markers allow guests to make their selections so the process moves smoothly. The rest of the tasting room is full of local food items and crafts. Crowd: Several other couples and one family enjoying tastings. Service: Incredible, two passionate and creative individuals running this winery. Parking: The snow forced them to move parking away from their main buildings and near a garage.

It's a small batch farm winery and OMG they have the wines dialed in! Whites, reds, fruity, cooking, dry, sweet... so much variety and the grapes are actually grown here too - not just bought somewhere else and processed. It amazes me how many options and varieties they continue to offer! There's a whole better experience have a tasting when the maker is the one serving and can tell you EVERYTHING about it. One of my most favorite things about the wines here is that I never get a headache. These wines are not overloaded with sulfites like the bulk wines at distributors and stores. Their prices continue to stay in the 10's to teens range even though it apparently makes it harder to keep things running at a time everyone is tightening their wallets with everything else costing more. When it comes to owner-operated wineries, Hummingbird Hills Winery is a whole new level in quality and enjoyment when expertise meets love and passion in wine making, which is why my wife and I keep making the trip here to re-taste and restock. They've even added an off-grid getaway cabin on their property nestled up on a hilltop in an old apple orchard that they list as The Nests at Hummingbird Hills. It's so quiet there and with so little light pollution the stars during the night are amazing!

We showed up within an hour of closing, but were greeted and served without issue. We sat outside and opted for the wine flight so we tasted 10 different wines. All of the wines were very good with only a few being overly sweet or overly tart. We also got a $5 dollar off coupon from the wine tasting which we used towards buying two bottles of wine. They have a decent selection of wine to choose from and all of the bottles range from mid $20-30.

Overall we really enjoyed the wines we tried and would love to come back the next time we're in the area.

I'd say the food was pretty average. My quiche was fluffy but it wasn't very flavorful. The rest of my group also got the turkey, cheddar apple wrap, soup of the day, and a sandwich. Nothing that wow'ed the taste buds but it did the job and our waitress was very nice. We also stopped by the bakery--definitely try the fudge lover truffle! It was so decadent and delicious. I also got their famous chocolate jumble cookie which was good but felt pretty average to me. We took our time walking around the rest of the store and it was a cute way to spend time after a meal.

We did a tasting of 5 different wines for $7 - the Lazy Days Dry Rose, Untamed Red, End Post Red, Riesling Semi Sweet, and Blueberry. You can pay $10 to keep a souvenir glass! My favorites were the Untamed Red and the Blueberry. The Blueberry went really well with some Sparkle too - almost like a blueberry mimosa. We ended up bringing a bottle of the Untamed Red back with us!

I have gotten the "because I got dry" flight before and loved it. For pride month they also had a rainbow mimosa flight that is so fun!

I especially love the Esperance location for its gorgeous views and the option to sit outside by a bonfire. The stunning views are matched by the fun, Nordic-inspired interiors. The decor, seating, and bar all add to the atmosphere, and even the bartenders fit right in! Service is great--they're so sweet and knowledgeable about the meads as well. As for the mead, it's absolutely delicious. I recommend trying a flight to sample the different flavors before picking your favorite for a full glass. I loved them all, but my top pick has to be Loki's Lure--a rich blend of coffee and cacao. Other favorites are the Heritage and Black Currant. The one thing I do wish the meadery offered is snacks. It would be nice to have something to munch on while enjoying the drinks. Beware of the mead though--it's so tasty and goes down so easily, you might find yourself tipsy before you know it!

There was a board welcoming the guests when you walked around to the event area and the hosts names were incorrect on it.The grass was not mowed, which was dangerous, especially for women with heels. There were no water pitchers or water glasses at the guest tables. The only water available was a serve yourself container of tapwater with plastic glasses at the bar. There wasn't enough food for everyone at the event. The pizzas were bland and soggy on the bottom. Pizzas go on the bottom of the pizza oven, not on racks inside the pizza oven. Dinner was pasta and meatballs and a bruschetta platter. The pasta was undercooked, and the sauces were on the bland side. I didn't bother with the bruschetta. The event was outside and although during the day it was reasonably warm, it was freezing after sundown. My question, don't they have heaters for outside events? Overall, there was just no real organization for this event on the behalf of the vendor. It was obvious to me that they treated this event and its hosts like they didn't spend enough money on it. You really shouldn't be treating guests a certain way based on how much they spend at your venue. That is not what hospitality is about. My advice would be to send everyone employed to hospitality training.
