Sign at the end of the gravel road announced our arrival. Pulled into the lot and we were the only ones there beyond the workers late in the afternoon on a Sunday. Cash only but they have an ATM on site. Visited the brewery room and perused the different beers available on draft, in bottles, and growlers. Ordered a pizza, the green tomato and sausage. And chose a flight of beer, four for $13. Sumac Sour, Fig Porter, Dead Leaves, and Basil Saison. I enjoyed every one of them, but the Dead Leaves was my overall favorite. I decided on that one as my take home growler. I really enjoyed the green tomato sausage pizza, I enjoy a green tomato, not many restaurants have them on their menu in a state other than fried, so I had to get it. The flavors were great; the tartness of the green tomato went well with the sausage. The space is incredible, very rustic and woodsy, the perfect backdrop to the foraged beers. Every space was decked out with funky colors and artwork. I really wish it was closer, definitely a road trip to go back but feel it would be worth it in each of the seasons!

The spacious outdoor patio is perfect for enjoying a day with friends watching planes come and go while enjoying some delicious food and drinks! I had their elote dip and pork chop and it was some of the tastiest food I have ever had. My only complaint was the grits had zero flavor to them. Everything else was absolutely amazing! I highly suggest checking this unique dining experience out. Especially if you know any plane lovers!

My husband ordered the taco of the week, which was a buffalo chicken taco. I had the barria chicken tacos. Both are served with chips and salsa. We added queso, which I highly recommend. We swapped a taco so we could try both kinds. The meal was delicious and the service was great! Parking is easy, right out front. Bathrooms are very clean and so was the restaurant. We will definitely be back when we can sit outside!

We got slushed at StarView!…read more I'm a huge huge fan of wine slushies and because of this, StarView was recommended as one of our stops on the trail. This winery was hopping when we got there but were greeted immediately upon walking into their main room. We both got the slushies and settled in on their gorgeous deck over looking a gorgeous lake. The only thing missing was live music but we were too early for it. Tastings are $5 and they do have a food menu that we noticed looked pretty good from what people were ordering.

This was our first stop on our wine tour. Small gift shop. Great patio overlooking water…read more They have a large open space inside for sitting but there was a paint and sip with a rescue. However the reason for the 3 stars is due to the unfriendliness of the staff we had a girl with black hair. Also the rescue was very stuck up and rude. We asked to hold a kitten and they refused. Yet talking about how they wanted them all adopted. Only thing I can come up with is because we didn't buy a table for the paint and sip. Weird for winery to not allow any inside seating unless you buy a table for the rescue then allowing the rescue to be so rude to their customers

(There was a baby shower in progress.) We were still able to find a table. There are outdoor seating options but it was too cold. The service was quick and efficient. Their wine flights are organized in a cute carrier, and it was only $10 for a flight. You do have to check your empty flight back in to get your deposit back. It was not the best wine on the trail, in my opinion. There was some cute wine merchandise, similar to what is sold at other wineries. The women's bathroom was spacious and clean. I would return, especially on a warm day when the patio is open.

The bathroom was clean and nice. They are picnic-friendly and dog-friendly. The tasting room is upstairs with some seating inside. They focus on dry wines (our favorites anyway). We chose a nice dry flight of 4 wines and enjoyed them outside on the patio. Their patio is several levels with additional seating below. Mature trees grow through the patio levels so I expect that the patio would be nicely shaded on a hot summer day. Server was friendly and knowledgeable. This was a quiet visit but we enjoyed the wine and our dog liked the patio. The cell phone reception isn't great here - when we left, we had to drive a bit away to get GPS to work again.
